Abysmal search facility
The only search facility is a taxonomic or alphabetical list of names! No ability to scroll through family or species images. Unless you start off with a good knowledge of the birds of India it’s a long, frustrating method to identify a bird. App needs a major update. At £30 a complete waste of money. Should have stuck with the book!

No search based on images!
I’m a professional zoologist and field researcher. Whilst there ARE good illustrations and maps the search interface is a list of names!
If you don’t know the birds of India (presumably why you are buying a guide - FFS) you have to take stabs at the names - there is no way to compare what you see with an image UNTIL you have clicked through a name.
Buy a hardcopy guide.

Lacking!
There is no audio for any birds! Have not run across this in more than a decade of using bird apps. Some of the bird drawings are just not very good and don’t adequately show key details.
Very nice app
This app very useful especially when you go out for bird photography and want to know more about sighted bird quickly
Very Basic and not worth the high price
The reviews from 4-5 years ago still hold true. This is an expensive electronic version of the book, but with no dynamic features like sound files of calls, or even the ability to filter likely species by region. A number of species are missing range maps or illustrations, and a couple are switched (text pertains to different species than the one shown). Very shoddy product for the price and in desperate need of some easy upgrades and fixes to make it comparable to other electronic bird guides.
