## What is Songlo?

Songlo listens to the birds around you and tells you who's singing. For some species it can also learn to recognise individual birds that keep coming back.

• Identify by song — tap listen and Songlo names the bird from its call. Identification runs entirely on your iPhone and works with no signal.
• Know your regulars — Songlo compares each bird's voice with the birds you've saved before, so a returning visitor can be recognised and given a name. This works best for species whose individuals sound distinct, such as wren, dunnock and blue tit. It's a best guess rather than a certainty, and for species that all sound alike, such as wood pigeon, Songlo says so and keeps them as one entry.
• Your garden diary — every bird you keep is saved with how many times you've heard it and when it first visited. Rename any bird to make it your own.
• Listen your way — keep a session running in the background and review every bird you heard at the end, choosing which to keep.
• Private by design — no account, no ads, no analytics, and no recordings ever leave your device. The only thing Songlo fetches online is species photos from Wikipedia.

Recognises 144 British bird species, using Google's Perch bird-sound model running on your iPhone.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-11-08

The App Store description and in-app intro now say more clearly which birds Songlo can tell apart as individuals.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-22

The Listen screen now opens on the radar, so the birds you've placed are the first thing you see.

New here? A short introduction explains how Songlo tells one bird from another, and each launch offers a tip you can turn off for good — from the tip itself, or in Settings if you change your mind.

Settings also shows the version you're actually running, which it previously got wrong.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-16

Listen has had a big overhaul.

• The radar can be dragged taller or shorter, and is drawn before the first bird arrives
• A bird you've placed now flashes on the radar when it sings again
• Tap a bird on the radar to move it, or take it off
• Sensitivity is now on screen, with level-aware splitting of overlapping songs
• Bearings are referenced to the compass, so a bird's direction means what it says
• Rename a bird straight from the Listen card, instead of going to the Birds tab
• Saw the bird? Say whether it was male or female, and Songlo offers a name to match
• Saved clips are normalised, so playback is actually audible
• "Is this the same bird?" is judged on each species' own voice scale

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-14

No release notes.
