Downloaded about a month ago and had very good use of this app whilst on holiday in New Zealand. However couple of days ago app stopped working . Just a blank screen. ?????

Good, no range maps

Great intro birding app for the price. It does not have range maps or illustrations, only photos.

Transparency

Since most of the Birds are locked/premium (has it always been like this?) you might as well say you'll need to pay $15 to actually use it. $10 I'd pay $15 nah

Love this app!

I ended up buying the full version of this app and it’s so great. The only thing I’d add is the option to see more pictures of the birds and also a key that explains the symbols when you click on a bird you’d like to know more about.

Thanks!
