BirdFolio is built for birders and bird photographers: turn your photos into a personal, searchable bird album with stats. **What you can do** • Import bird photos from your library and read capture time and location metadata when available (GPS depends on the photo), with **on-device (offline) species recognition** • Add new shots from the camera and enrich records with place, date, and notes • Link multiple species to one photo with taxonomy details for easy recall later • View sightings on a map and browse your collection in an album layout • See species, photo, and place summaries and time-based stats • Optional import compression to save space; optional iCloud in Settings to sync across devices signed in with the **same Apple ID** **Permissions** Photo library and camera are used to pick or take bird photos. Location (while using the app) helps surface nearby places—you can change this in Settings. **Free vs. unlocked** Free vs. full feature limits are as stated in the app and on this page. In-app purchases are processed by the App Store; use **Restore Purchases** if needed. Questions or feedback? Contact us via the in-app or support email. Happy birding!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Enc.Album at none against BirdFolio's 1. Enc.Album also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). BirdFolio's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
