The fact they have calls for quite a few of them is incredibly useful too. **Developer response:** Please contact the support (there is a button to send an email report) if you have an issue with the app functionality. Writing a negative comment does not help others who might have the same handling problem. If there really IS a problem, of course. If the problem has been solved by correct handling, a comment can be updated, this is possible in the iTunes App store. ### 1/5 — This app doesn't work *2015-09-20* Cannot access other birds in the listed families, nice idea, shame about the execution. **Developer response:** There are no problems with the app and ALL functions are working properly if you are tapping the correct buttons. Have you ever asked the support for assistance? Obviously not, it is much easier to write a negative comment than asking somebody for help on a very simple issue. ## Frequently asked questions about The Birds of Switzerland ### How many bird species are included in The Birds of Switzerland?
