Read full descriptionHide full description
Lifer is the birding game. Capture the birds you find, build your collection, and compete with your friends. CAPTURE Spot a bird, get close, line up your camera, take the shot and Lifer identifies what you've found. The clearer the photo, the higher the confidence so creep a little closer and frame it well. COLLECT Find all of your captures in your Aviary, your personal collection. Watch it grow from your first Magpie to the rare find you chased for weeks. Have a peek into your friends' Aviaries to check out how their collections stack up. COMPETE Friends, leaderboards, streaks, multipliers, badges, and more. Let the birding games begin. MAPS Every capture, pinned. Your map becomes a record of where you've been birding. Search any species to see where it's been spotted, and find the hotspots worth heading to next. DISCOVER A field guide to every bird around you, right in your back pocket. Look up any species, learn what to watch for, and know what you're chasing before you find it. LISTEN Can't see it but can hear it? Tap Listen and Lifer names the birds singing around you as they call. Sound ID runs on your phone, so it works offline, deep in the bush with no signal. UPLOAD Got bird photos from before Lifer? Upload them from your library to fill out your life list. Uploads add the species without points. Capture in game to earn XP. FOR EVERY BIRDER Just started? Your first lifer takes minutes. Already a twitcher? We've got you covered too. — Made by NTRA Pty Ltd in Newcastle, Australia. chirp@liferbirding.com Privacy Policy: https://liferbirding.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://liferbirding.com/terms

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Awesome Con at none against Lifer Birding's 2. Lifer Birding's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
