Best app by far. I've used a lot of bird apps over the last few years (paid and free apps), but I stick to this one. It's easy to use and the identification description in the illustrations are very helpful. Perfect for beginners and advanced users. You can inport your birdlasser info to the app. I love this app.

This is a great app, but I don't appreciate the use of AI images in a few of the recent Dawn Choruses.
