I didn't know much about birds and got this app for a trip to Rubondo Island. It did not disappoint! I found the interface easy to use, information succinct and accurate. It helped me to identify and log sitings of over twenty birds in two days, of the hundreds on Rubondo. The feature that allows you to save birds sited with location is especially handy. I have paid for very few apps, but found this one well worth the price, which was less than an extensive book and yet more user friendly.

Good app, but missing very crucial feature, cloud syncing of your findings especially if you change devices you will lose all your stored information. It is sad that no updates on this while there are free apps out there doing much better e.f eBird.
