### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-08-22, version 2.18.2*

Easy to use and very informative

### 1/5 — No way!

*2026-08-22, version 2.18.2*

Automatically signed me up for a 1 year subscription. I clicked 1 week free trial.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-08-22, version 2.18.2*

Knowing I am in UK it gave me American birds!

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2026-08-21, version 2.18.2*

This is a pretty nice app there are a few things I would recommend though: in the bird finder, you make one of the color options red. Also you should make one of the bird sizes like hawk sized or something because there are a lot of bird sizes in between mallard-sized and heron-sized. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Amazed

*2026-08-15, version 2.18.2*

I got this app for my education and I did not think it would be 100 percent accurate this is one of my favorite apps in the App Store

### 5/5 — I’d

*2026-08-15, version 2.18.2*

Love this app!

### 1/5 — Self Applauding UI

*2026-08-14, version 2.18.2*

I was enjoying my morning coffee when I overheard a bird call I had not yet heard before in the mornings where I live. I immediately wanted to know what the bird was so I found this app and downloaded it hoping to identify the bird before it stopped calling. Upon downloading the app I was forced to watch this 45 second “tutorial”. The entire time the bird was still calling. By the time the video ended, the bird had stopped singing and I was completely unable to identify it. Why the developers of this app felt it necessary to subject its users to mandatory tutorial that feels less educational and more like an excuse to show off their advanced coding skills is beyond me. To make matters worse I was then immediately prompted to start my free trial. Luckily this isn’t my first rodeo so to speak so I knew this wasn’t mandatory but full screen prompts for subscriptions with tiny x’s in the corner are extremely predatory cash grabs.

### 5/5 — Idk

*2026-08-09, version 2.18.2*

Pretty accurate app

### 5/5 — Nice app!

*2026-08-03, version 2.18.2*

Good app, works fine on apple phone, helped me identify some birds!

### 5/5 — Learning all my bird

*2026-08-03, version 2.18.2*

Great app
