### 4/5 — ガイド押すと落ちます

*2025-04-20*

それ以外は良いです

### 1/5 — 返金できないの？

*2022-06-05*

アプリを立ち上げ、マイクをタップした途端に落ちる。有料でこれはない。お金返して。

*2017-12-07*

### 1/5 — とても残念…

*2016-04-10*

種類が少なすぎる。がっかりしました。

### 4/5 — 里山なら十分でしょう

*2013-05-26*

何度も聞き直せて物覚えの悪い自分は重宝してます。

### 1/5 — 買わなきゃよかった

*2012-07-09*

検索機能が悪い上に、すぐ落ちる。
使えないのに、600円も使ったのが悔しいです。購入後、似たようなアプリが有るのに気づき悔しさ度が増しました。購入を検討している方に聞かれたら、まずお勧めしません。

### 4/5 — Excellent!

*2011-02-11*

Beautiful pictures and very clear sound files. Information about each bird is good but could stand to be organized a bit better with links to outside sources. In addition, I was hoping for a way to move up to the more extensive version, but there is no mention of it.

### 4/5 — ホッとします

*2011-01-21*

写真がキレイで、鳴き声がとてもクリアー、癒やされます。

### 3/5 — 検索機能が不十分

*2010-06-14*

鳥見初心者にはちょうど良いボリューム。鳴き声も聞けていいのですが、名前がわからないから検索したいのに名前でしか検索できないのがおかしい。色とか特徴とかで検索できるような機能をつけてほしい。
