Perfectly happy!
Disappointing
Knowing I am in UK it gave me American birds!
Nice app
This is a pretty nice app there are a few things I would recommend though: in the bird finder, you make one of the color options red. Also you should make one of the bird sizes like hawk sized or something because there are a lot of bird sizes in between mallard-sized and heron-sized. Thank you!
Sounds 👍
I am not in America. I have clicked on world map on the app but it doesn’t seem to work!
Good app
It works great it is so cool and awesome but there is a subscription every time I open the app but it is soooooooooooooooooooooo good
I live in North Carolina
I live in NC and have so enjoyed your app in identifying the local birds in our community. Thank you for this most helpful tool.
Self Applauding UI
I was enjoying my morning coffee when I overheard a bird call I had not yet heard before in the mornings where I live. I immediately wanted to know what the bird was so I found this app and downloaded it hoping to identify the bird before it stopped calling. Upon downloading the app I was forced to watch this 45 second “tutorial”. The entire time the bird was still calling. By the time the video ended, the bird had stopped singing and I was completely unable to identify it. Why the developers of this app felt it necessary to subject its users to mandatory tutorial that feels less educational and more like an excuse to show off their advanced coding skills is beyond me. To make matters worse I was then immediately prompted to start my free trial. Luckily this isn’t my first rodeo so to speak so I knew this wasn’t mandatory but full screen prompts for subscriptions with tiny x’s in the corner are extremely predatory cash grabs.
Amazed
I got this app for my education and I did not think it would be 100 percent accurate this is one of my favorite apps in the App Store
American birds only
Apparently I’m listening to a bird only found in America. Pretty useless for identifying British birds
One (big) thing
I’d love the app a lot more, but your logo is on WAY TOO LONG when I first open the app. By the time it goes away and I can snap a photo or record a song, the bird has flown away.
So helpful!
This site is very accurate! More helpful than I expected. I especially like the sound identification and the pictures.
Not reliable
I have used the around identifier a few times now , once by accident inside a train and it said that it was a kestrel when it was just people talking, I’ve just used it on my bedroom trying to identify some very noisy birds that I can see and the app says that they are owls which they are not so I lost trust in this app

Downloaded & Deleted
Competitors have much better apps. Tried to download quickly to find a bird nearby, but we missed it because this app has a minute-long non-skippable intro about all of their positive reviews. The app then pesters you to upgrade to a paid account while you’re trying to identify birds, which made us miss another bird we were trying to identify. Once we were finally able to identify one, we found the user interface to be unnecessarily complicated and weren’t sure the bird sounds and calls assigned were even accurate, as they often sounded entirely different. We downloaded a competitor app which was immediately quick, accurate, and helpful, and deleted this one.
Room for improvement
The app is good for identifying birds but if you save your photos there is no way to sort them, categorize them or even search to find a bird you may have seen a year or so ago. It’s very frustrating.
Beautiful cahcaufony
I enjoy identifying the peaceful songbirds on my property, day and night!
Not accurate
Identified hawk cry as a crow. Uninstalling
Bird calls
Helpful especially when we go for dog walks in the woods.
Inaccurate
I downloaded this app - had to subscribe for a free trial but didn’t realise when I had to cancel and got pulled into a yrs subscription. I find the identification of birds is way off - birds not even native to my country. Seems to work ok if there is one loud bird call only. Waste of money.
Not free
Says free on safari but it’s not!!
Love this app!
Easy to use and very informative
Poor accuracy
I was trying to test the accuracy of the app and took various photos of statues and other items without any birds and got some pretty weird answers. Results like birds from Ecuador, Australia and countries far away from the United States. How can the app return bird species without a bird being present? I also recorded a mourning dove and the app said it was a bird from coastal Europe.
Great idea, slow moving
The app is great, however the load time is very slow and the pop up screen that is encouraging users to upgrade is annoying.
Wrong continent
Too many birds not native to uk make me doubt results
Picture Bird
Just downloaded this app and tried it out on a local Eurasian blackbird - it misidentified it as a Grackle - they are native to North America and I’m in the far north of Scotland.
I’d
Love this app!
Bad identification
This program identifies everything as a northern cardinal. Even a hummingbird! We have both types and both sexes of cardinal, chickadees, finches, buntings and more but to this program they are ALL northern cardinals. So disappointing
Amazing
Really good!!!
Nice try
This app seems to be a good value, and is if you can get a really good close-up of the bird you’re trying to take a picture of. However, my experience so far is that birds are always too far away to get a clear picture and the zoom in the app does not take advantage of the full capability of my camera, iPhone 12 max. Therefore, the app struggles to come up with a definitive recognition, and I have to pick between several options. Which is not very helpful because I can’t see the bird that clearly either from the distance. So in summary, I won’t be renewing my subscription. Hopefully you can make corrections to the zoom feature to make it more valuable tool.
Misidentification of birdsong
Too often common European birds are being identified as typical US native species. In my experience around 40 to 50% are incorrect.
Idk
Pretty accurate app
Scam
This “free” app just offers some sort of ‘trial’ for free. Stop calling this FREE
My review
it’s a good app it got all my scans correct and it say info about that certain bird
Fair at best
Not very good at distinguishing between birds and other noises.
Cardinal a Quebec
1 ère visite
Nice app!
Good app, works fine on apple phone, helped me identify some birds!
I got charged for 50$ one year subscription
I don’t want it or will even use it and I can’t get my money back
So far … very impressive!
I’ve been testing this out in Asia. I’m impressed with all that is able to do. It can even help with those poor and blurry photos of birds we all get. Well do e!
Too expensive
Why is this £10 more than the plant identifier app? Far too expensive.
Good but unpredictable
I live in the south of the UK. In the early morning, the app was able to recognise bird calls from birds I know are in the area as I see them in the trees around my home. But add any road noise in at all, and you’ll get wildly spurious results - Indigo Buntings, Winter Wrens, both native of the US, not the UK and extremely rare to see here.
Learning all my bird
Great app
Appalling to charge for this
The Merlin ID app by Cornell university is free. I downloaded this one because it advertised identify bird by feathers, when in fact the app lacks this capacity. No thanks! I’ll stick with the free one that’s better.
Noice
I didn’t know this app could identify eggs! Keep up the good work!👍
Look at location service
Having lots of non native birds so perhaps a location part to your app would be best
British Birds
Can you add a selection where you choose your country that you reside in and only birds native to that. country are identified. Often the birds your App selects are not even from this continent. Maybe if for example you select UK then only UK and nearby European birds would be considered.
❤️ love! 🦅🩷❤️🥰
This is so easy to use and helpful:)
Not a free app
Wanted to try it but they want 30/year after your free 7 days expire. But they list themselves as free. Very deceptive. Can’t tell you how well the software works because I deleted it immediately after the real cost showed up.
Wow!
This app zoomed the camera on my iphone13 max onto a small bird 10 feet away. First time I have seen an app do that!!
Re bird pictures
Need to be able to zoom more for clarity
Very nice app.
Easily one of the best bird identification apps out there.This really helped me identify some birds. Also this has made me a bird enthusiast.
