- Great! ★★★★★ Love that is has both photos and drawings of each bird. Tons of information. -golfersontheroad
- Great field app ★★★★★ This app is a nice addition to a field guide book. It has photos of male and female, which are often more helpful in identifying birds than drawings. Also, I love the recorded bird songs! -Daniela Wersin
- Favorite of apps ★★★★★ I insist on demoing to any birder I meet. Has replaced my field guide on most outings. -WillGH
- Truly a great app ★★★★★ No false advertising here. Love to have this available when I’m looking on the back yard and when I’m traveling. Enjoy. -Idahophoto
- Bird West ★★★★★ Fabulous resource. The best. -Sue Vo
- Birder ★★★★★ Great app! I use it for song ID all the time with local birds. I also use it when traveling. A great tool! -LW in CA
- Fantastic app ★★★★★ It could not be better. -Jp in CA
- Brilliant ★★★★★ Wonderful for the casual or enthusiast birder. Fantastic search features! -Richard Hatfield
- Makes Birding Fun (for us amateurs) ★★★★★ We’ve always enjoined the birds who visit our yard and community environs. This app more than doubles the pleasure! Highly recommended for anyone even mildly interested in fowls. -Davey-boyo
- Excellent app for beginners ★★★★★ The favorites and notes are extremely helpful to keep track of birds I have seen. -GTonk
- An essential field tool ★★★★★ What a joy to have the equivalent of Sibley but without the weight & bulk in the field. The photos, song/voice recordings and easy access to the same info for similar-appearing species really enhance the usefulness of this app, along with option of auto-recording the time, date & GPS coordinates of one’s sightings. Took a bit of time to download on my old iPhone, but worth way more than the $5 cost of the program. -Don Lipmanson
