Ratings and reviews

PLEASE FIX: It has started crashing more than half of the time when I try to open the app. Overall: Super helpful! I really like the app for seeing which birds have been spotted and where. It helps me decide where to bird and I like the links to see more details on the ebird site. For a while, the android version crashed whenever I try to listen to any of the bird sounds, but that got fixed.

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!

Cool app and idea, but the organization and overall navigation of it is just terrible. Doesn't seem like you can filter through specific birds in your area. When I click a bird posted in my area it shows pictures from around the world instead of my community. I wanted to post a picture and tag the spot of the barred owl I photographed. But after trying for like 10 minutes I just gave up. A shame because I couldn't find any other owl posts from my area
