Ratings and reviews

Cool app and idea, but the organization and overall navigation of it is just terrible. Doesn't seem like you can filter through specific birds in your area. When I click a bird posted in my area it shows pictures from around the world instead of my community. I wanted to post a picture and tag the spot of the barred owl I photographed. But after trying for like 10 minutes I just gave up. A shame because I couldn't find any other owl posts from my area

Sounds cause app to crash on an Android not sure about Apple. Other than that it has great information and links. If you can find a fix for the sounds crashing the app I'd give it 5 stars. I just moved to the Clarkedale AR area and have a lot of birds. I'd like to be able to identify what I am seeing AND hearing.

PLEASE FIX: It has started crashing more than half of the time when I try to open the app. Overall: Super helpful! I really like the app for seeing which birds have been spotted and where. It helps me decide where to bird and I like the links to see more details on the ebird site. For a while, the android version crashed whenever I try to listen to any of the bird sounds, but that got fixed.
