Don’t leave on holiday without it
This was a present for my birthday and it exceeded my expectations. On holiday now in Qld where there are so many birds we don’t get in Victoria. Bird call feature sorts out the confusion of similar looking birds and the list feature tracks all the ones I’ve spotted. For me, as a medium range bird nerd it’s perfect.
There are a couple of birds missing though. Gang Gang Cockatoo
Eclectus Parrot

Needs family list improvements
Extraordinary that when entering “lorikeet “ nothing comes up. I’ve seen this in many other searches. Probably a software issue but should attract your people. Otherwise it’s pretty good, cheers, John
Great app
A very good, user-friendly app. Takes advantage of a digital format by providing multiple photos as well as illustrations of each bird, compared to some other apps which only provide basic illustrations. More calls are being provided for most species. Taxonomy is kept up to date through app updates.
When I have had issues with some features, either due to my own incompetence or encountered an occasional bug, I contacted the app developers through the support feature and received a reply quickly and issues were resolved.
Well worth getting.

My go to bird app!
I’ve no always really liked this app and use it regularly.
Just wondering whether it’s my imagination or has an update changed the way the birds are listed? As we move around a lot, I use the My Location. I also use common names. It used to have, for example, all the honeyeater’s together etc. Now they seem to be all over the place so that when I know it’s a honeyeater, I have to scroll through rather than going to the one spot. I’d really love it if you could put it back to how it was. I feel this one important part could drop my star rating. EDIT: Thank you so much for getting back to me with help. The update must have changed the settings (because I certainly didn’t😁) have changed it now snd all is good! FANTASTIC APP!

I have used the Pizzey and Knight app for 8 years and have on both my laptop and iPhone. They have been very good transferring my app from one phone to another on several occasions. I have found the app to be excellent assisting me identify birds in both NSW and Queensland.

I tried to link photos and the app went into the ‘wheel of death’. There was no way to troubleshoot or ask questions.
I was not able to use the app as the ‘wheel of death’ kept going over night and for hours this morning.
Ps
Upon hearing from the developer following the above, it seems the issue is rare and was unable to be repeated by them. They suggested that I reload the app, which I did and this was successful. I’ve been happily using it since.

Issues promptly resolved - thank you!
Both my husband and myself have been using this app for years and we love it. Recently, we noticed a minor problem after an update, and after reporting it, it was promptly attended to. Great app and great service. Thank you
Update has issues
Both my husband’s and my app updated today. Since the app update. If we search for monarch, pied heron comes up, but white-eared monarch doesn’t. There seems to be a problem with the search function since the update. I’m sorry for putting this in this forum, but I don’t know how else to notify the people concerned

Response from developer
Sorry about that but I can’t replicate your error when searching the full bird list. Please send an email to support@gibbonmm.com.au and I will assist you further.
The go-to for Australian birds.
Easy to use digital version complements and improves on my 1984 copy of the hardback Field Guide. Minus 2 stars because I can’t share it with my wife using Family Sharing even though the App store says Family Sharing is supported
Great app just one suggestion
I really like the app, think the combo of pics and drawings is perfect. The compare feature is fantastic. The only recommendation I would have would be to split the different taxonomic groups with some sort of bar or separation (perhaps like the Morcombe app) making it easier to locate the bird faster and less confronting than a whole list of birds with no separation between groups. Other than that, my go to app after using Morcombe for years.

Calls
Rather disappointed that an app for 50 bucks doesn’t even have a call for common spices such as wedge tailed eagle

Great app
Easy to use….but sometimes I have seen or know that a bird is in a location but doesn’t show on the list of possible birds. For instance in Port Macquarie/Lake Cathie you will see Regent and Satin bowerbirds along with King parrots but they do not appear on the list!?!
Kingfishers
Of the 10 odd Kingfishers that are in Australia only 4 are listed
Excellent app
Wasn’t keen on this earlier as it didn’t look great, but recent updates made me bite the bullet and purchase it. I’m very impressed. Quite complex so it takes a bit of getting used to but heaps of great information along with bird call audio and physical appearance comparisons. And I keep finding different ways to view species details (via the Field Guide like in the books, and via the Bird Guide section) which is very helpful. I also like picking a location and then scrolling through the list of possible species for the area. Really enjoying this app!

Good app, but family sharing stopped working.
All of a sudden stopped been family shared with my wife who has been using it with me for years.
Did all the fault finding from Apple, other apps family shared, but this our most expensive app and do not feel like paying for it twice.

Improvements required
State filter highly inaccurate. Many birds listed under Tasmania that don’t occur.
Bit of a pain having to exit from a bird to hear its calls.
Great that real photos are used

Months of Year : Confusing
First month of year: July
Last month of year: June
Please fix this; it’s awfully confusing when checking migratory birds.

Lost bird info connection
I have lost the link between bird info in locations to the birds in field guide and bird guide after update
I have been advised to remove app & reinstall but I’m anxious that I may have to pay again
I did purchase through the App Store
I have an iPhone 6 s
