  • Robbery!

    By GypsyRambler
    Much of the text from earlier versions has been removed (eg Black Stork is missing all the following sections now: behavior, population, movements, voice and breeding; all species seem to at least bd missing population now!). Nature Guides should offer users to opt for a full refund instead. This is no longer what I purchased!
  • Отличное приложение!!

    Пользуюсь им пару лет почти. Особенно полезна огромная коллекция записей голосов птиц. Для фотоохотника, коим являюсь уже 7 лет, вещь просто незаменимая. Как определитель использую редко, ибо практически всех птиц, имеющихся в приложении, знаю в лицо. Рекомендую!
  • Casual birder

    There is a lot there and you can switch between languages. It is a little bit difficult to navigate and it is expensive. I think they win partially by being the only choice, at least when I bought it. Not dissatisfied and happy to have that much info on my ipad/iphone when I'm running around.
  • Comprehensive Coverage

    By Carducci
    Pros: Comprehensive. Each entry has many drawings, some photographs, a range map, and several sound recordings. Also shows nests, immatures, and fledglings in many cases. Navigation is easy. Only choice I found for iPad/iPod/iPhone. (Probably why the charge so much! The USA Audubon birds has twice the birds, better navigation, and costs half as much). Cons: Does not enable annotation or establishing your own list. Does not have a facility to show like species. Cost is about double what it should be.
  • Clunky & primitive

    Lots of information but difficult to navigate. No easy way to switch between similar bird pictures or songs to compare. No way to annotate birds seen. Range maps and songs require too many clicks to find and are ignored when scrolling through pictures & BWP. Too expensive for such a clunky & primitive app.
