Don’t waste your money
This app assumes that the user knows the identity of the bird (there are lists alphabetically and taxonomically but no way to look at pictures to identify an unknown bird. I’m super disappointed because this is an expensive app and I feel I’ve wasted money and time on it! Get Merlin, which is free!
Old maps need updating
A bit disappointing that the maps used are from the first version of the book. The second edition has much improved distribution maps and it would have been nice to see that.
Registering the birds
The notes component they would allow you to register birds as you see them doesn’t work. The app closes automatically whenever I try to use that function. I guess it needs an update. Other than that this is an excellent app
Needs bird identifier process
Unless you know the name of the bird you are looking at this app is not helpful.
There needs to be some kind of flowchart to work out the species (wing shape, plumage, colour of body parts, size, habitat, etc)
GPS could help with reducing possibilities.
But as it stands this app is useless for beginners.

Not worth the money.
Won’t recommend this app at all. Very basic, rather look at Merlin Bird ID or iBird Pro.
