Best Bird app ever! For a free app, this one has some really amazing features. Recording, naming and organizing birdsong sessions are only a few of the tools available. There is an incredible amount of information for each bird species, including several photos of the bird; male, female, juvenile...they even vary by region). You can listen to samples of the different songs and calls each bird produces.

Cool program, but the app should have the option to not have location tracking (and work - not a Samsung permissions workaround). I can't add birds while recording, and have to take a screenshot if finding multiple new birds or 'fake it' and just search the second/third/etc by name instead of matching to the recording. If it could run in the background while noting new birds this wouldn't be an issue. The image matcher is quite poor compared to how good the audio matching is. Longer recordings!

Loved the app, but it will not work anymore. It says it needs to verify my email, but it doesn't send an email so I can verify it. I wish there was a way to fix this because we live in the country and the four days it worked, it was great! I deleted it and reinstalled the app, but it still doesn't work. Help if you can! Update; someone helped! Thank you for fixing my access!!! Best app and staff ever!!!! Five stars all day, every day!!!

New birdwatcher— this is awesome! I learn about birds in my area and elsewhere. The information helps me identify my birds on my own, even though identifiers are also incredible. I do have an adjustment that I would make. When you do the step-by-step identity process, the app asks you five questions: date,location,colors,size,and position of the bird. I'd like more options,like patterns,beak shape,tail shape,etc. They shouldalso tell us why the bird made a specific sound. (Warning vs song)

This app is wonderful! Searching for bird information is easy. Identifying and "collecting birds for your "life list" is fun for the whole family. The app is very user friendly, my children (elementary and preschool age) can use it. We also love that we are helping scientists collect information about bird migratory patterns and habitats.

This is the most amazing app ever! I have been using it for a couple of weeks. It lists the birds that it hears and I just realized that every time a particular bird makes a sound the bird in the list lights up so you know which one is making the sound at that moment. I never could have figured out what bird was making the loud, unique call in my yard this morning without the app. It was a Carolina Wren.

This app is really cool, identifying birds by their calls. It does an amazing job identifying bird calls despite substantial background noise, and can even identify birds at significant distance despite limited volume. I find this app great to go into new locations -- woods, fields, seashore, even apartment complexes -- fire up the app and watch and listen as the bird world comes to life around me. With this app I have learned to identify dozens of birds by their call alone. Fun & educational!

I love this app! I use it to maintain a list of birds that I have heard/seen on our property. (60 species and counting.) Its easy to use. I don't have any issues with false results or unknown queries, as long as location is on and you have your data packs downloaded, you're golden. My only wish is that there was a way to have multiple lists, like the species I've observed on my property, vs species I've encountered elsewhere, for example. I saw a lot of cool things in Florida that I didn't save

This app has changed my life, I tell everyone about it, one of the coolest things technology has brought us who love nature. BUT, trying to delete recordings is INFURIATING!!! So much so that it costs two stars off of an app that I otherwise love so much. I use it so much that I have accumulated way too many recordings, but trying to purge them is the most frustrating thing I've ever had to do on my phone. Please, pleeeeeeeeeeease make it more user friendly, PLEASE!!

I'm an amateur friend of birds, and really want to take advantage of my location. I'm surrounded by one of the last wetlands in Kansas, and its been mindfully kept, while developing around it. I want to learn about the many birds I've become so fond of (this includes waterfowl in my instance). Easy to use, the identifier is easy and quite intelligent in sound selection.
