Ratings and reviews

Nice illustrations! But it's lacking the possibility to determine birds with sound recordings or pictures. Curious when those will be rolled out for Android as well (as it's already available for iPhone users). Would also be nice to be able to filter on the rarity of birds, to practise with a list of only the most common birds. Also, I'd like it to be possible to choose to make the layout a bit more compact when scrolling through species.

I previously gave this 5 stars but it's getting irritating that some of the bugs since Android 16ish aren't being fixed. e.g. can't read the input field on the compare feature as I type. It could be a lot better. It doesn't look like the developer is getting paid enough to make meaningful improvements. I now use Britain's Bird on the Kindle app more.

A fantastic app. I would like to be able to scroll through the birds aften opening them and to do that as well with comparison. I am not always just looking to compare certain plumages.

What’s new

We've fixed the family filters and made numerous improvements to illustration annotations.
