About this app

Bird Calls Xeno is a free app which connects to Xeno-Canto for you to search, listen and download bird calls for offline playback. The app has been designed by birders for birders!

NO ADS!!

Why use Bird Calls Xeno for your bird sounds and bird calls needs?

1: Search bird call by English & scientific name. You can search not only by English names but also by scientific names. The app will also start showing you results when you start typing the genus like Phylloscopus. This helps you to select from that specific genus.

2: Play bird calls sorted by rating. All bird calls are sorted by ratings so that you have Rating “A” calls at the top to play. This helps you to quickly get the best quality calls to hear without going through the entire search list.

3: Filter search. Filter by Country, rating and type when a search is executed for a bird call. This helps to filter searches to a country when you are visiting a specific country and want to only hear calls recorded in that country.

4: Offline calls. You can download individual calls and they can be found under the offline section under the menu. Access offline calls via a shortcut icon placed at the top-right of the main screen.

5: Sort offline calls alphabetically and added recently.

6: See previous searches in the main screen, allowing you to quickly search for a bird name

This bird call app is free and we plan to keep it free. In case you want additional features, reach out to me through the contact us form in the side menu of the app and I would be happy to talk more on improving the app.

Ratings and reviews

Excited that someone's developing a new app for browsing Xeno-canto. Thanks! But so far, it's almost unusable on my phone (Android 6). It becomes unresponsive all the time, and combined with the loading process for files, it's hard to tell what's going on. Maybe a good start would be to at least highlight the currently selected recording in the list (like show it in a different color). Also, is the download icon on the right a button, but the sound icon on the left isn't? Can't tell.

The app is very good. A covenient tool for me to study birds. I have used it extensively for identifying warblers of our region (without actually playing sounds in the field). It is useful for other birds too. I can boast of recognising birds' calls of more than 350 birds due to this app. The app is not working since last about a month. Hope the working resumes. Thank you.

Great sound database, although the App could be more user-friendly. For example, the size and duration of the calls/sounds, and the bird's scientific names could be displayed...
