VOICE IDENTIFIER
The application has a built-in polytomic bird Voice Identifier (Identification Filter), which helps to determine the unknown bird by its appearance and voice. You can select the geographical region, the size of the bird, the location of the singing bird, the type of sound signal, and the time of a day. The Identifier will help you to narrow down the range of species for unknown bird.

QUIZ
The app has a built-in Quiz, which can train you to recognize birds by their voices and appearance. You can play the quiz repeatedly – the questions for recognizing species alternate in random order and are never repeated! The difficulty of the Quiz can be adjusted – change the number of questions, change the number of answers to choose from, turn on and off bird images.

Ratings and reviews

I paid for this app but many of the bird song I try to play I get the message "This feature is not available in the trial version" "

The interface is a bit blunt, but it's a nice and extensive birding app with a good amount of information, photos and sounds. I like the quiz option. 22 languages available! Suggestions: (1) Latin names always visible next to the common names; (2) search by family; (3) organize all settings (language, purchases) in a single menu.

An excellent App, beautiful pictures and thorough descriptions of each bird, complete with the birdsong for each bird. My only small criticism is to search for a bird you have to know its correct name. All in all very good 👍
