$$ grab.
Fun, but if you like it - get ready to spend and keep spending.
A fun game and idea but…
This app has so many purchases, after playing with it for a while my primary quest is now to just literally buy the Yellowstone pack and I can’t even skip it. 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.

Gorgeous game
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 :)
I love it
It’s good for kids like me who love outdoors
Best bird watching app out there
Love a good realistic bird watching game
Very fun… “game”?
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.

Amazing bird game!
I wish I could become a bird in this game 🫠 are there cardinals in this bird app?
Love it, but please fix problems with Central Park update!!!
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.

Killdeer problem with app?
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?

Losing seeds when identifying correct birds
Love the game but the seed glitch is frustrating. I will identify a correct bird and instead of adding seed to my current pile it actually subtracts it even though I’m identifying the correct bird. This has happened several times and it’s very frustrating. Please fix!
Glitches
I was really enjoying the game but a couple weeks sho glitches started happening frequently. Example: seed “money” is all over the place. I had 59,700 then after identifying the very next bird without spending the seed on anything, the amount dropped to 59,600. Got it up to 60k but next time I opened the game it was back down to 59,600 again! Really frustrating. Also, the Central Park quests are broken. I’ve identified probably 10 shorebirds & 2 northern parulas but the quests won’t give any credit & are stuck. Could be a great game but these glitches make play really frustrating

Fun, but a scam
This game is great, great for birders and people that want to be birders. But it’s not worth. I know it looks fun.. it is fun but it is a scam, why? You have to pay 2.99$ just for nocturnal mode so you can see owls, and you have to pay money just to travel. And there’s more! If you are not the person that does not like to pay money for games, don’t get this game. Otherwise it’s fun and it’s great to have a game like this but it is a scam. 100% a scam.

Awesome Game but a few problems
In the Norfolk Coast, the Pied Avocet picture on the life list is the exact same picture for the Long-billed Curlew on the Yellowstone life list. The Greater Yellowlegs on the Yellowstone life list doesn’t have a picture to it. Also you are two years behind current EBird taxonomy, not
a big problem but makes it less accurate. But other than those things the game
is great

Useful
This game is super fun and useful if you love birds or want to learn about the more. Think of it as digital flashcards that move and sing
Great game
Great game, lots of cool birds to identify and good graphics. It’s a shame you can’t complete Yellowstone without having to pay but I still have lots of fun
Great game!
This game is great for birders and nature lovers alike. Birding is not commonly seen in gaming, so this is a real treat. Gameplay is smooth and calm. Also a good antidote if you can’t go birding irl. I love the attention to detail that you can see certain birds when you come back to the game on different days. A great simulation on what birding is like.

Overpriced
This game is an expensive game disguised as a free one. You cannot enjoy this game without spending real money. And there isn’t even an option to pay one price for the game that covers all future updates, leaving you to spend more on this than a high quality computer game.
Love it
I now know how to identify birds by sound thanks to this app. I knew how to identify birds by sight but this helped me with sound and I am so glad
how
How do you set a bird feeder up????
Extremely fun game, but…
This is probably the best birding simulator that I’ve played. But, I feel like the extra packs are just a couple dollars to expensive. I’m not saying it’s that big of a deal but it makes me a little annoyed. Another thing is that there should be something that you can do to unlock the Yellowstone lake besides buying the All-access Yellowstone pack. Also, I played the game for about 3 hours straight and put all the stuff that a Wilson’s Warbler would like but it still never showed up. I don’t think it’s a bug or anything but I thought it was unusual because someone I know saw the warbler at the very beginning of the game. I also think that you could make more money if you let players unlock things without playing but still have the extra stuff cost money. That would have more people play your game and more people paying for your things. I also noticed that when I looked at the Killdeer on my life list it didn’t have anything on the facts. It was just the sound. I know that I unlocked the facts but it didn’t show anything. My last thing that I have to say is that the Greater Yellowlegs didn’t have a picture.
Besides that, this is a 5-star game. I lowered two stars because of my complaints but if you changed some of the things that I talked about this game would definitely earn a 5 star. Thank you for reading this and please consider my requests.
