Ratings and reviews

I have to get too close to the bird for this to work. It might be the fault of my Samsung Android microphone. I don't know. But I live in a jungle type area and getting so close, as they'll usually go quiet with that too, is just too hard. I didn't rate lower as I don't truly know where the failure is. Disappointing, do hopeful and live in a foreign country where I hardly know any of the birds. And almost always can only hear them, not see to identify otherwise.

So far this app has been really interesting! I definitely recommend it for anyone interested in the birds around them! It's been very informative, with quick identification that seems pretty accurate. I only had one that didn't identify properly and it honestly wasn't a very good picture to start with. The quizzes are a fun addition too, and I enjoy the inclusion of the bird song ID.

easy to use, pretty pictures, my new favorite birding app. Just realized it only lets me add one bird per day without paying... Probably worth it ($10). Biggest problem right now is that it seems to be missing birds that are very common in my area so I'll pay around some more before I decide to pay. -UPDATE: I found the birds i thought were missing, just needed to look in the "all birds" section, can't find them thru the question search, maybe I'm giving wrong answers.
