Feedback of any kind is welcome. Wishes of features to be added or annoying quirks you want fixed, just drop me a mail and I see if there is something that can be done.Cheers and have fun with the App.[Not a native English speaker?]The app has some elements of the graphical user interface and all of the bird names translated according to the IOC World bird list 4.1 into 19 languages. But there is still some to be done.If you are a native speaker of one of those that miss some translation (for buttons, text etc.) and want to contribute, give comments or improve the grammar feel free to contact me per mail. Cheers!A big thanks to the translators:- French translated by Sandra Velitchko- Russian translated by Leonid Velitchko and Tatyana Korzhitskaya- German / English translated by Benjamin- Spanish translated by Jesus Alvarez- Dutch translated by Helen- Italian by Paolo Px4- Added possible fix for crashing issue for Android 9. If you experienced that issue please try to re-install the app.

I just wanted something to browse through.. if I have to sort through and add things manually and generally waste time adding all the content, I might as well just browse the internet.

Doesn't work, i get the push notifications at the beggining and i do pay for my apps, there only seems to be a free version without any sound also many birds are missing.

My go-to app for birding. Nothing better and still works on my version of android (4.3) unlike a lot of apps.

Susan Coward

Super initiative, content, useability and extensibility! I would be happy to help facilitate a North America module

Paul Noeldner

Good identification app. However, the downloading bird calls feature isn't working even with the internet on.

Ewan Zerafa Gregory

It's fine but there's not many birds and Greece isn't on the list of countries.

Like it!

Pretty encyclopedic, but no longer supported as no reply received to emails.
