Excellent!
I used this to make flash cards on GoodNotes for my trip to Hawaii. I’m mediocre birder. I was well-prepared and was able to start aiding birds at the airport! I added the location/habitat notes to my flash cards to help me memorize the names of the locations and habitat nuances to help me find birds.
Future directions I hope you consider adding something like the Sibley app, which has “my list” and you can note the location and slide a button so it automatically adds the GPS location to the bird. Not that I’ll ever go back to the exact location, but I love the idea of pinpointing a life bird location. I’m not very good at bird songs, but I like having the songs to listen to.

Great sound recordings.
Great sound recordings help with ID of rainforest birds.
Was expecting more
In the area to learn more in how to search and other ‘learn more’ links, the page says we’re sorry. Yep, I’m sorry I can’t learn more to how to optimize how I use this app. :) Some of the birds near me, Black-necked Stilt, and other endangered species don’t appear on the list of Hawaiian birds or the birds near me. Yet I know they here are because I’ve seen them. Realizing I may not be searching right because the link doesn’t work.

My favorite birdwatching app
You can search by soooo many features. Tail shape! Song type! Prominent color! All of these have enabled me to ID birds that would have been otherwise unknowable.
Great app
Fun to use on our recent trip to Kauai. I would like a better photo

All I Need
IBird answers all my questions and informs me of birds location and status.
Great
Very helpful, wonderful photos, the call section is particularly informative.
Great app
Love the search features. Great quality.
Spelling
You’d think these folks could get the Hawaiian words spelled correctly. But NO. Look at the range maps. Kahoʻolawe is spelled Kahoolwe. The Hawaiian alphabet has five vowels, eight consonants including the okina(ʻ). Hawaiian: ʻAkiapolaʻau. MWG: Akiapolaau.
Excellent App
I have only used the part of the App that deals with Palau but is great. Excellent photos and good help on where to find the birds.
Excellent App
While I am glad iCloud has been made available for data storage, I am disappointed that it is at the expense of Dropbox being available for storage. I have room in drop box but not in iCloud to store iBird data. Since Dropbox is no longer available I will no longer be able to store my data. Is there a way to give the app user a choice of either for storage? Thanks for making such a great app!

iBird Hawaii
Fantastic app, cannot recommend highly enough. Really like the fact that each species is covered via drawing and photos. Also covers range and conservation status. Everything you will need to identify the birds of Hawaii and an absolute bargain for what it offers.
iBird Hawaii +iBird Palau
Another home run for Mitch Waite and his team. Excellence is the standard for all the Mitch Waite programs. THANK YOU!!!
Best Hawaii Bird Guide
My friend forwarded iBird's newsletter which helped me discover this is the best reference guide to birds of Hawaii.
I've been to the Big Island many times and been frustrated with the books about bird life. None for example could tell me where to find the rare Akiapolaau or the Lavender Waxbill which is native to Africa. iBird Hawaii's great range maps showed me exactly where to find them both (the Waxbill is on the west coast).
I love the Birds Around Me feature - I centered the map on the Mamalalahoa Highway on the West coast of Hawaii and found the Lavender Waxbill and the Omao were both nearby. Happy days.
I've always wanted to visit Palau for its skin diving and now that I have an app with all its birds its on my bucket list.
awesome quality illustrations and love the songs and calls.

Just what I was looking for
I've been searching for a books or apps that cover birds of the Hawaiian islands and have been very disappointed. But that's all changed with iBird Hawaii Guide to Birds. The illustrations are gorgeous and there are hundred of photos but my favorite feature is the search engine for identification. After using it for a week I'm beginning to learn how the birding experts think which is very cool.
The addition of Palau is very welcome as I have heard of this island and the bird life there is supposed to be incredible. After playing with the app and learning about Palau I pan to visit.
I'm using iBird Journal along with this app to create checklists of species I'm likely to encounter on Maui. So I'll report my results when I get back from my vacation to Maui next week.

Incredible Deal
This is absolutely the best resource for birds of Hawaii on the market, be it book or app. The free addition of the island of Palau is amazing. Thank you iBird.
Fun to use! Great addition to our trip
I'm really enjoying this app. Instead of a guidebook, everything is here in the app! Searching by location or traits has helped me figure out what I was looking at so I could share with others. Building a favorites list is a great way to keep track of what I've seen, so I can tell my birder friends when I get back home.

Another great birding app
I bought this the day it came out because coincidentally it was the same day I arrived in Hawaii. The app is all you expect if you have used ibird and such. I just wish I could have it only list birds for a particular island and also just show endemics.
