Ratings and reviews

Wonderful app for birding. It has live spectrogram view and 3 sec pre-recording buffer. Makes it ideal choice. Option for recording with higher quality can be provided. 24 bit with 48khz.

Pretty much useless. Starts recording as soon as you open it (not sure if it's supposed to do that, but seems wrong). As soon as you press "stop", it crashes!

This requires precise location instead of general location where it won't work that's the Hallmark of Spyware. It also wants to access your phone and your phone records. And for all of that I still could not identify a single bird with the app so it's totally useless.

What's new

+Improves the recording location behavior in GPS view when multiple recordings are in the same location.
+More crash fixes.
