Ratings and reviews

Sounds cause app to crash on an Android not sure about Apple. Other than that it has great information and links. If you can find a fix for the sounds crashing the app I'd give it 5 stars. I just moved to the Clarkedale AR area and have a lot of birds. I'd like to be able to identify what I am seeing AND hearing.

I like this app! Cornell should have done something similar years ago. I have been wanting something like this for a long time I think ebird will get more data by having people find places to bird easier I have a few suggestions. 1) I'd love to be able to recenter on my position on the map. 2) Directly going to navigation without going to ebird would be amazing, 3) being able to switch to satellite on the map would be cool but less important. Thanks for making this!

This app is a terrific tool for a traveling birder. It provides a slick way to find eBird Hotspots along your route. When you touch a Hotspot on the map, you can open the eBird checklist for that location and find out what species have been seen recently. There are other apps with better bird ID features, but the first step is to find good birding places in unfamiliar territory, and this app is invaluable for that feature.

What's new
