However, the daily bird stopped refreshing on July 29 and every day is now a Shiny Cowbird. I actually got a return message (!) from Birds in the Hand on August 12 that said they were looking into it but nothing over the past week. That's more than I've heard from my BirdsEye issues. ### 5/5 — Miss my daily bird *2021-07-06, version 1.1* Loved this app. Agree with the other reviewers - I’d pay to have it back on the latest iOS ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2021-07-01* I have enjoyed using this app every morning. It had been part of my morning routine. I loved all the features, especially being able to make my guess as to which bird was being featured BEFORE tapping the picture to see if I was right. I am also trying to learn the 4 digit birding codes for each bird, so I could make my best educated guess for that as well. I miss this app. Please update it for us bird lovers please, please, please!!! ### 5/5 — UPDATE THIS APP PLEASE! *2021-06-26, version 1.1* My wife and I love opening the app every morning to guess the new bird but now it won’t open with the latest iOS update ### 5/5 — Please Update! *2021-06-22* I absolutely love this app. I share a bird of the day each morning at my summer camp- the season has rolled around and the app no longer works because it needs to be updated to be comparable with the latest iOS. Dear developer, please update so we can continue to enjoy this awesome app! ### 5/5 — Needs update *2021-06-18* Daily Bird is (was) my favorite app for a very long time. A highlight of ever morning or a gift if I’ve missed a few days. I’ve learned so much and am able to identify many birds, some I will never see. I am so sad to lose it because it won’t work on current versions of iPhone or iPad. I hope the app is updated. I’ll keep checking. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2021-06-15* My most beautiful and prized app. I have this app for many years now and still love it - never crashed, simple and a pleasure to use, interesting facts about the birds every day and stunning photos. Thank you for this gem! Please update it for the latest IOS!!! I miss it! ### 3/5 — Please update *2021-06-11, version 1.1* This is a cool app for birders but please UPDATE it ### 5/5 — We Miss Daily Bird *2021-06-11, version 1.1* Please update this app so that it will work with the latest Apple iPhone IOS. My husband and I love this app. We start our days trying to guess the birds. ### 5/5 — Lost love! *2021-06-10* I love this beautiful app, and enjoyed it every day -- until I got an updated iPhone. I'm sad that Daily Bird doesn't work on this newer version, and really hope the developers will update the app. Thank you for the past few years of amazing, inspirational bird photography and excellent information about each pictured species! ### 5/5 — So sad *2021-05-16* I love this app it has given me so much joy for years and now with the new iOS it no longer works. I would totally pay a few bucks for an update I miss so much my daily bird :(( ### 5/5 — Love it. Please update *2021-05-08* I love this app and use it almost every day. It is fun to try to see if I know the bird and then tap to learn all about it. This does not work with the latest iOS update. Please fix! ### 5/5 — Was a pleasant way to start the day *2021-04-30* Every morning for years I have opened this app and spent a moment (or many more) identifying the daily bird. The photographs are perfect, Ken Kaufman‘s blurbs are well written, and the links show me where the bird might be found. It’s been my morning puzzle - an especially enjoyable one -and has helped improve my birding skills. Sadly, the app no longer works with the most recent iOS and I had to delete it. It does not appear to be a complicated app but it is one I would gladly pay for I hope the developer Will bring it current. If not, I hope Ebird or Audubon will find a way to fold it into their offerings ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please updated *2024-02-28, version 1.1* Please update this looks so cool! ### 1/5 — Daily bird *2022-08-02, version 1.1* When a purchase is made for a product, it’s unfortunate that an iOS update renders it unusable. Maybe apple should refund and not the app! ### 1/5 — Sadly it No longer works *2022-03-21, version 1.1* App needs to be updated and no longer works. Deleting off phone ### 1/5 — Please update this wonderful app *2021-08-14, version 1.1* Love this app! It’s been part of my daily routine for years.

Please update the app!!! ### 1/5 — It no longer works on updated IOS *2021-06-19, version 1.1* I love this app and tell everyone to get it but it needs SERIOUSLY to updated so I can use it with iPhone update. 😩 ### 1/5 — Daily Bird WAS My Favorite App *2021-04-30, version 1.1* I’m so sad that this wonderful app has not been updated: I just updated my iPhone to iOS 14.5 and Daily Bird no longer works, as I had been warned. 🥲 I wrote to the app developers a couple of months ago when I started getting the warnings that the app needed updating, but I didn’t get a response. I’ve learned so much from this app. So sorry to see it go. ### 1/5 — Totally Disappointed *2021-03-12, version 1.1* Was a great app but the developers haven’t updated it and it no longer works with iOS 14.4.1 ### 1/5 — Not working. *2020-10-14, version 1.1* Have enjoyed this app since inception. Assuming it’s no longer supported by the developers? It’s been a 5-star app - now down to 1. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I miss this app *2023-02-28* I miss this app. I was my favorite thing to check on my phone every day.
