Ratings and reviews

I under that this is an entry level application, however to gain access to all birds, I do not thing it is worth a purchase, the free version has about five birds available. If you are looking for a beginner's bird application, I do not recommend this one. There are other applications with information that wouldn't cost a savvy beginner birder. (I can't provide info on the purchased version as I have not done so :P )

A bit disappointed, but should have read the tsncs before paying, the app is great in its self. Is it possible to uprage from here to the full version.

The description mentions 46 species. The app is downloaded as free. But only 5 are available and the rest is only accessible through additional fee. That is just plain misleading.
