Yes
I’m just glad I have the American version. It has gotten almost 80% of mine but lately when it does catch the name of a bird the volume to hear the trip to compare is not working if you guys can fix it.
Wonderful
I paid for this app several years ago and then there was an update that seemed to have locked me out, appeared that all my recordings were gone and another fee was being tacked on. I left a rather scathing review because I was genuinely upset as I’m a hard core bird lover and the customer service was amazing, there was no added fee. I’m not sure what happened but I was frantic. I had years of birds catalogued because we lived under a migration path, even a pair of Mourning Doves that came to my backyard and I was heartbroken because it seemed I lost it all but the ending to my story is a happy one due to the customer service. This really is a phenomenon app, I live in Alberta, Canada and had no idea how many species of sparrows exist. It’s fun and I’ve learned so much. I would recommend to stop checking out other apps and get this one. Thank you again to customer service for calming me down and yes I still have my flock of Sandhills Cranes recorded!

Loved it until
I paid for this app years ago, $6.99 and had years of catalogued birds and it was all erased because you went to the “pro” version when I already paid for it. I’m heartbroken, there was a flock of Sandhill Cranes I’d recorded, years worth and it’s all forever gone. If I’d never paid for it I would t be as disgusted as I am. Now I can’t use it at all unless I pay the yearly fee. I’ll gladly buy a different app

The App no longer saves recordings!
In the last month or so (March-April 2025), the App changed — it no longer saves my recordings! This appears to coincide with the rollout of a “Pro” feature that you have to pay for. But I already paid for the app last year. I feel cheated :(
Disappointed
Not upfront about app costs, make sure you review info online before downloading.
APP won’t open
I purchased my APP on April 26, 2023.
I used it all last summer.
Now it’s Summer of 2024 and it doesn’t work.
Now it won’t open so I can’t use it, anymore. I click on the APP, on my screen, on my iPhone. It opens, to the APP picture of the bird, I then click on it and nothing happens. It says all old and existing customers can use the new subscription payment APP, for life and you won’t be charged. However, it doesn’t give directions to existing customers, to update to the new APP and be subscriber payment FREE. The Federal Trade Commission should be notified.
What else to old subscribers do?
It’s definitely compatible with my iPhone. That what is says.
Please advise.

amazing app!!
this app is very accurate and has helped me learned bird songs better than any other way I have tried. If you want to learn bird songs, including the variations, then this is the app for you! I love how the app also shows other similar species so you can really compare the species and learn the differences between them. This is a great app for birding!

Bird Sounds
I love to listen the sounds of our fine feathered friends. But sometimes I don’t know what kind of bird it is. That’s why I love this app. as it lets me know without fail what bird is delivering it’s beautiful sound.
Lovely
So nice to record birds in our area. Also, like the bird safe feature, I play these songs for our cockatiel to help him learn some new tweets.
It sort of works
I bought it for using on the Apple Watch. The watch app doesn’t work at all, just a black screen. I’ve tried reinstalling and restarting my watch but there’s still nothing. The phone version seems good but I will stick to using the apps provided for free by their competitors.
Right
Right on the money. Got it first time.
Bird Nerd Alert
I’m a bit of an amateur bird nerd and love the Chirp O Matic app. There are other apps that work I’m similar ways, and I do use them. But one key feature of Chirp O Matic that I LOVE is, there is an Apple Watch version! No others bird ID app that I have found works with my watch. I don’t always take my phone on walks, so it’s nice to be able to quickly ID a bird song from my wrist. (Although it seems to have a bug at the moment.) The only thing I might say needs improvement would be to make the recording times longer. Definitely a must have a birder of any level of experience! Thanks!

No sound
I’ve had this app for years and the sound is no kk get working at all. I can’t play old recordings or the identifier. Sad news.
Fun App !
Love being able to identify different birds by their song. Especially when they are hiding among the trees.
Not usable on a watch
You can only record the songs on the watch, you can’t ID or analyze at all on the watch app. ):
You must also use the phone to even look at watch recordings.
It’s a phone app. It’s not the same on the watch.

App crashes when I hit the button to “identify”
I paid for the app, recorded a birdsong in the app, pressed the identify button, and CRASH! iPad home screen pops up every time.
Inaccurate
I’m sitting just about face to face with a bird and recording the sound. The “results” aren’t even close!
Very limited functionality
I have not found this app to work, really ever. I limit background noise as much as possible, hold as still as possible, and get as close as possible and end up with incorrect identifications 90-95% of time. Just a heads up.
Not even a single correct hit so far
No, it’s not an owl. I’m not sure why it thinks everything is an owl other than that it’s not effective at its sole purpose. I regret this purchase and want my money back.
Meh
I found that this app has a hard time identifying the right birds.
