User reviews

Excellent performance in the wild!

I just learned about this app from some other birding friends and downloaded it in the brief period where I had cell access out near Carrizo Plain in San Luis Obispo County. It kept working as we drove on all the backroads, whether or not we had any bars of cell, something that eBird struggles to do. Love being able to click on all the hotspots near where we’re traveling. I’m adding this app to my short list of “must-have” apps while on the Road!
