Long Time Fan of Mitch’s Wirk

I’ve had a problem with the “fly catcher” bird. I swear today that plasma screen’s are made with fly blood.

Great app

Nearly always nails the result but if in error points toward the actual result even with my poor photography.

Our go to bird resource for years

We are not bird listers. We love birds, life stats etc. iBird has been a great aid to us and an easy introduction for friends and family.
We highly recommend iBird after novices purchase their first bird identification book.

Ripped Off

I’m an avid birder in South Texas. A few years ago I purchased the iBird app and it included photo sleuth. A few days ago photo sleuth was gone. A person reached out to me and said it’s been reinstalled.

Wrong.

Just a classic and common way that companies get greedy for money. How sad this is how our country has become.

My favorite bird app

The photo sleuth feature really works (most of the time) and really helps me confirm my bird ID.

Doesn’t match the bird

Picture of Robin identity not even close. Feel like I’ve been ripped off.

Didn’t correctly identify birds

App didn’t correctly identify any birds I took photos of.

Sleuth does not load as in-app purchase of iBird Pro.

Had to pay for it TWICE! And then buy the stand-alone app.

Poor Accuracy

I have tried several birds of known identity and the app is wrong.

Love this app

I know my birds, but sometimes I’m not confident, I need help and this app hits it on the button love it!! 💕

Finally found a solution to get Photo Sleuth to work with iBird apps

I purchased iBird Pro. Making me buy another app just to make photo sleuth work is a questionable marketing tactic

Great tool for Birders!

I love being able to verify what bird I was able to capture with my camera. It is amazing how well it works.

Won’t Download

This app worked great before. I was really impressed with how accurate it was. It’s definitely better at identifying birds than I am. Now for whatever reason, after the app offloaded to the iCloud briefly (we don’t get many birds I don’t recognize during winter) every time I try to redownload the app the download doesn’t finish. I hope it’s not because of the price increase.

I guess the good news is that I can still use iBird Pro to identify birds; it’ll just take a little longer.

Great app

This app makes birding for novices so much easier! I have been looking for an app like this a long time.

A+!

Wonderful and fun to use!

Fun app

Love being able to identify what birds I see from a photo.

Excellent!

I am grateful to have an app that helps me learn about my bird friends. I take pictures of birds, and it is joy to get to know them. Thank you!

My Go to app to ID Birds

Nothing fancy just simplicity at it’s best.
Tried it out on a known bird from a photo I had taken a few years ago & it came up with 3 choices ranging from 0% Confidence to 6% to 95% Confidence (Barred Owl which was correct) The other 2 options were also Owls.

I’m happy with it & look forward to using it more.

I’d def recommend it for identifying birds.

It also connects to iBird Pro & you have the option of sharing your photo (if you have the copyright or permission to share) with the Developers for Internal Purposes.

The app even opens your mail Program, writes the email, attaches the Photo & all you have to do is click send if you wish to share.

Just tried with a few more common birds & results were excellent.

Best app ever!

I have recently been getting into birding and have been searching for an app that makes it easy to ID a bird. I tried many. I found entering descriptions like “prominent color” and trying to match silhouettes to be challenging but THIS app is it.

Take the picture...crop it...and done! Now I can do that!

Amazing!

So easy and works like. Dream!
