Birdwatching with Robin
Read full descriptionHide full description
Say hello to Robin! The friendliest way to discover the birds all around you. Point your camera at any bird and Robin tells you who it is, spins up a few surprising facts, and adds it to your growing collection. Whether you're a total beginner or already know your robins from your wrens, Robin turns every walk, garden visit, and window gazing moment into a little adventure. - Snap it. Know it. See a bird? Take a photo and Robin identifies the species, tells you how rare your find was, and shares what makes it special. Not quite right? Just tell Robin "I know this bird!" and set the record straight. It learns from you. - Collect every bird you meet Every bird you snap joins your personal collection, stamped with where and when you spotted it. Catch the same species again and your count climbs. Watch your collection grow from your first house sparrow to the rarest visitor. - Your very own Birdex Explore a living field guide of the birds in your area. Robin taps into real, recent sightings near you, so you always know who's around, and who's worth keeping an eye out for. - Just spotted near you See what other birders are reporting right now in your area, sorted from common garden regulars to genuinely rare treats. Your next great sighting might be one street over. - Earn your wings Unlock playful badges as you go — Early Bird, Night Owl, Globetrotter, Master Birder and many more. Keep a daily catch streak alive and watch your birding skills take flight. - A companion, not just a tool Robin greets you with a bit of birdy charm every time, reacts to the weather and time of day, and makes identifying birds feel like texting a friend who happens to know everything about them. Use the app at different times of the day and the app will shift with the sky, from the dawn chorus to the owls clocking in at night. - Private by design Free Robin identifies birds right on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence. No account needed, and it even works out in the field with no signal. - Fly further with Robin Pro Upgrade to Robin Pro for the sharpest birding experience: • Eagle-eye photo analysis: Cloud-powered vision looks at your actual photo for the most accurate IDs, even on the trickiest birds • Ask Robin anything: Chat freely about the birds near you: their habits, their songs, and where to find them • Field guide deep dives: Richer facts and full guides for every catch • Live bird weather insights: Discover what the birds are up to in this exact weather, right now • Works on every iPhone: No Apple Intelligence required Legal Disclaimer If you upgrade to a premium subscription, payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase.
