Ratings and reviews

It really is an excellent app, the drawings, images, descriptions, way it plays sounds, etc. However the cost is prohibitive, so I will be sticking to the other apps I have.

Really enjoy the app and all the functionality that keeps getting added. Easy to find a spesific bird along with photos, sounds and illustrations. Allows for easy import from other apps like sasol and birdlassr. I would recommend this to any birder who wants a more organized list or any birder who would want a easy to access app instead of using a book that takes up space.

I used this app on a trip to kruger and loved it. I loved the diagrams and the fact that there were good photos as well... and also the birds sounds. I think it is expensive compared to other birding apps and would prefer a once-off subscription as with the Robert's app. I could not find functionality to add a list for different trips... and that would be very useful indeed. Also would like more info on behavior and characteristics of each bird rather than the summary of the category of bird
