Runs fine… mostly
This app is in dangerous need of an update and will probably stop working soon
Essential for outdoor people
I work as a hiking guide, and I find this app incredibly useful. It had helped me learn and ID all the central Australian birds that I'm new to.
The only two improvements would be actual photos as well as the drawings. Sometimes I find it easier using Pizzey and Knight for this reason.
Please also fix the photos of species distribution! I would include a screenshot if I could, but when you are viewing this map, sometimes a species name and colour code will be up in the top left and this will be blocked from view by the top menu bar (to ‘go back’, the ‘species name’, and ‘add bird’ bar). It’s been a minor issue the whole 5 years I’ve been using this app. All you need to do is move all the photos slightly down a few mm.

Broken search bar
It’s been years and the search field is still covered by the taxonomic index heading. So if you want to search for a bird you only get to see the bottom 3mm of the search text field. lol, it’s like a 3 year old designed it and didn’t do any testing or just doesn’t care cos they’ve got our money now.
So many years and it’s still broken. What is the developer doing for such an expensive app? Avoid

Great app
This app is worth every penny . My partner and I have it on both our phones and we use it all the time . Love been able to play the bird calls too .
Is this app still supported?
The last update was 4 years ago & the app support link does not work. It begs the question as to whether this app is being supported any more?
Missing birds
Missing a few birds e.g. mallee ring neck found around Lightning Ridge.

This Apple app does not find common birds like Ibis , owls etc - very disappointing

Great App but infrequently updated
Have been using this app for over 10years and its great excey It really needs more frequent updates as the species names have been revised & has some bugs on my iphone 12 mini where the display overlaps the search window and other issues.
No updates for 3 years + now!!!

Match calls
It would be good if we could check the calls we hear against those in the app database so we can know what birds are around.
Otherwise, great app 😊

Unfortunate
Since getting a new phone my list of birds is less than half what it used to be! How do I update the app back to the full list plus your new additions?!
Unfortunate since I paid quite a bit for this app and love it, I would like to use it again 😪

Needs a lot more work but still a decent app
* I changed operating systems and can’t import the list I exported from my old phone - they said it was coming but that was a year ago
* The ‘my list’ logs are poorly laid out - they’re all on one long page and difficult to follow
* It seems I can’t delete one log without deleting all logs for that bird
* Needs a lot more work for 5 stars, especially given the price

Can’t get the list to work.
I’m on an iPhone 14, and the feature to check box birds you’ve seen doesn’t work. Nothing is saved.
Overall, excellent.
I’ve used the app for some years. I’m sure there used to be an option to add more than one “My List”. Today I can’t find any way of doing so. What am I missing?
Unsupported and full of bugs
it’s full of bugs and not worth the money
Personal bird list
I’ve used this app successfully for several years, and I have developed a nice list of bird sightings. Just purchased a new phone and downloaded the app no problems but my list is empty. Can I somehow move my list across or do I have to start again! Please help! I would hate to have lost that data!

Bug?
App has recently stopped working after selecting for region. Can’t get out of region page.
Passably good
I love the app and it’s features generally, but there are simply gaps in the database, birds in the various books that I refer to that are not on the app. This is frustrating when I want to record a sighting and the bird doesn’t exist according from the app.
App Transfer
I just got a new phone and was wondering if this app can transfer bird lists between phones.
Absolutely fantastic! Better than many of my bird books
Incredibly helpful illustrations showing birds of different ages/seasons/sexes. Beautiful illustrations and great feature of having bird calls and a map. The best and only bird app I need.
