I love the bird feeder and supplies you can buy with seeds but I find that whenever I fill it up it takes like one third of what I have as seeds so maybe just lower the seed refill price a bit, also the duration time of some of the feeders/supplies are questionable for example the tube feeder’s time is 25 min and the ground feeder is like 2 hours! In my opinion the mud flat thingy and the native fish shouldn’t/ have more duration time. I also suggest that the purple bird sound alerts be a bit less distracting and when you press it it doesn’t automatically make you travel to the location of the sound before even allowing you to guess what bird song it was. Even though there are a few things for this game to improve I think it is a great idea and I root for this game to keep going on. ### 5/5 — Gorgeous game *2026-07-05, version 1.0.16* As an avid birder this game is so much fun! It’s very accurate and rewarding, with a nice currency system that doesn’t feel too difficult to gain in. I love this game so much, please continue to update! I’m excited for the Peru update :) ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-06-25, version 1.0.16* It’s good for kids like me who love outdoors ### 5/5 — Best bird watching app out there *2026-06-13, version 1.0.16* Love a good realistic bird watching game ### 3/5 — Very fun… “game”? *2026-06-02, version 1.0.16* So far I spent 3.99 and 4.99 and this game keeps placing other things in your line of sight to spend even more money. I love birdwatching and this game certainly lets you do just that, but I have never seen an app like this where literally EVERYTHING has a dollar amount, wanting you to purchase, purchase some more, and keep on purchasing. When will it ever end?? This is the first time in a LOOOOOOOOONG time that I have spent real money on one of these games. I mostly never spend real money because developers are prone to “take their ball and go home,” meaning, that they no longer support their app and end up abandoning it. I have been burned by SOOOOO many developers abandoning their games or apps, or simply turning it into a subscription, even after you poured money into it by buying the app, and thus ruined the whole “pay for the app” concept for me. Only time will tell if this developer does the same thing. I’m sorry, but I’m spent. I can’t buy another binocular or a tripod with 35x zoom, or anything else. I’ve already spent enough, now stop with the “give me more” mentality and greed. ### 5/5 — Amazing bird game! *2026-04-20, version 1.0.16* I wish I could become a bird in this game 🫠 are there cardinals in this bird app? ### 3/5 — Love it, but please fix problems with Central Park update!!! *2026-04-10, version 1.0.16* Very excited to finally have an east coast location, but please fix the issues! - killdeer appear, but no options to ID them - app refuses to give me credit for either the quest identifying several shorebirds or for northern parula by song, so it won’t go on to any new quests, either - nothing to spend seed money on at ‘the pond’ and I’ve already placed every plant or tree I can at ‘the bramble’ - way too much time between birds at the pond, especially, and at either location it tends to just do the same bird types over and over and over again on any given visit, which makes it tough to get new ones, especially since there is no way to increase chances of any of them showing up (like with food at Yellowstone). I spend a lot of time seeing no birds whatsoever or end up identifying the same one I did before because nothing new is showing up. ### 4/5 — Killdeer problem with app? *2026-03-19* I’m really excited to finally have an east coast location to learn about after years of Yellowstone being the only one for the US! I’m finding that there aren’t many birds, though, for either Central Park or the pond and I often have to wait long periods between any, so it’s slow going, especially without any way to lure them in like there are at the other location. Yes, I realize this may be more realistic. However, since there are zero pigeons, I’m not sure how realistic it is. There seems to be an issue with the killdeer, too. Every time one shows up, the app will let me look, but not give me options to choose from to select the bird type and I end up having to close it and reboot. Bug, maybe? ## Frequently asked questions about World of Wings ### What is World of Wings?
