Incredible

I can't believe the variety of birds in my neighborhood. This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you!

A well written app

I’ve been a birding enthusiast for over forty years. We just moved to a new house that is perfect for proper backyard birding. It has given me the opportunity to photograph some wonderful birds and I havethe ID capabilities of this app have proven to be extremely accurate and easy to use.
It makes it so easy to verify my initial identification and build a backyard list that I have full confidence in.
One other tool it supplies with every bird you catalog are calls and songs. Along with the bonus of taking any song or call you can record and identify for you.
I’ve also gotten several species to start singing back to me when I play the songs provided by the app.
This app has given me a whole new aspect to my daily birding.

Can’t upload video of bird sound

App says it can identify a bird by its sound if you send it the sound, but not if you’ve taken a video! That’s rubbish. Cancelled subscription straightaway

Great tool

I am an amateur nature photographer in Florida, and this app is the best! It identifies many species of bird by picture or by sound!
Amazing!
It gives migratory routes and zones, as well! I am so passionate about it now, that I am learning the scientific names of birds!! Holy Ardea Alba!!! (Right next to each scientific name is a button that tells you the pronunciation!!)
I never thought I would do that, but this app makes it easy! Worth whatever price I paid!
There is so much information on migration, habitat, feeding and recognition!
I am sure there are more gems in this app that I have not discovered yet!
If you love birds, just to see or even photograph, this is your app!!!
