Completely useless unless you need a laugh. Told me a Swan was a Pacific Loon and that some mallard ducks were golden finches. Don’t bother

**Developer response:** Hi there,
We're sorry to hear about your poor experience. We are currently focused on improving the accuracy of Sparkbird's species recognition.

When Sparkbird gets the species wrong, users can correct it by navigating to the log entry in the Field Log, tapping the box around the bird, and selecting the correct species. This will automatically improve the accuracy of Sparkbird's species recognition.

We hope you will try Sparkbird again in the future. Happy birding!
