## What is Wingsong?

Did you ask yourself, how all the birds of the boardgame 'Wingspan' are singing?

With Wingsong you can easily find out how all the birds of the boardgame Wingspan are singing. You just have to hold a bird card in the camera of you smartphone and right away you'll hear the chirping of the bird on your card.

In addition you can add all of your birds that are in your wildlife preserve to a playlist. The songs of your birds will play randomly throughout your game to create an even more immersive Wingspan experience.

### 2/5 — Needs another feature or two

*2026-08-11, version 2.4.1*

I loved the app, but now we can’t get it to work on anyone’s phone without either crashing or not allowing adding to playlist

### 5/5 — Obsessed

*2026-08-03, version 2.4.1*

My friends and I play this game lol the time. We just love it. We love birds now too. ☺️

### 2/5 — No longer supported?

*2026-07-28, version 2.4.1*

One of my favourite apps, but the playlist isn't working, nor are the newer cards. I hope someone works on this project again!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! 🥺

*2026-07-28, version 2.4.1*

We used to LOVE this app along with the Wingspan board game. But lately it just doesn’t work. Some cards don’t register at all when scanned, and there is no way to add them to a playlist now… SO SAD! 😞😭 We really miss it!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even focus the camera

*2026-07-06, version 2.4.1*

Doesn’t work at all. Even on my wife’s phone, same thing.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-10, version 2.4.1*

Well wing span is educational you can learn a lot about bird species. Apart from threatened species status, what is the other piece of missing info? Bird calls. Not any more enter. Wing song. Hold the phone over the bird card and Viola your phone faithfully plays the bird song for the card! Gently marvellous stuff.

### 5/5 — Features removed?

*2026-02-11, version 2.4.1*

Why did you remove the feature that lets you make a song collage of your birds? And view recently played birds? The App Store screenshots are no longer accurate

### 2/5 — Playlist weg 🙁

*2026-01-31*

Eigentlich liebte ich Flügelklang. Warum funktioniert die Playlist nicht mehr?

### 4/5 — Tolles Add-On

*2026-01-29*

Super Erweiterung zum Brettspiel, aber wir sind etwas traurig, dass man keine Playlist mehr aus den Sounds der gescannten Vögel erstellen kann, die man dann im Loop während des Spiels hören kann. Das war immer eine tolle Untermalung und hatte einen guten Lerneffekt.

### 1/5 — Cannot Add Birds to Playlist

*2025-12-30, version 2.4.1*

Title says it all. When I scan a bird, it plays the sound but nothing else shows up on the screen. No bird name, no '+' sign, nothing. Must be a bug.
