Ibird Plus Guide To Birds App Reviews

Take the time to read tutorials on different areas of app. As a beginning birder I find I use search criteria often because I don’t know what I am looking at when in field. I have been correct with searches 9 out of 10 times. I use this app all year long.

...somehow. Does all I need it to do (I am a self-taught beginner) and does it well. Highly recommended!

This app has been my primary field guide for many years now. It is updated and improved regularly with no software glitches. One of my favorite, and most used, apps, it is a great value.

Best bird I’d app I’ve used.

This is the absolute best bird app on the market. Do not hesitate one second to purchase it. I have been using it since 2008. Better yet, gift it to a friend who loves birding, or is just getting started!

Well-designed, with great photos and sound clips

I have been using this app for a long time. It is so helpful while birding to show folks a photo of the bird they are looking at, its calls/songs, range and more.

I first wrote, “I can't believe anyone would rate this less than 5 stars.” Oops, yes I can. This latest upgrade keeps freezing up on me. Otherwise this sets a standard that all other electronic field guides should aspire to.

I use this app every time I’m in the field birding! Wonderful app that I just couldn’t do without!

App was a big disappointment in that it does not allow family sharing even though it is advertised to do so. All other apps that allow sharing between my iPhone and my husband’s IPhone work fine whether I share with him or vice-versa; but not this app. A real disappointment for us.

I’m a beginning border and this app is beyond helpful! Totally worth the price.

I’m not an auditory learner, so I use this a lot to ID birds singing that I can not see. And the variety of pictures per bird helps, since as soon as I get my binoculars up they turn their backs on me! Thanks!

I really like this app. My wife and I, since she broke her ankle, have been going to parks with waterfowl. This app not only helps us identify everybody in the pond, but calls them over with the sounds. Well, that and the wild bird seed we always bring. Just a fun app for people who want to learn about birds.

I am not a birder but enjoy knowing about what is around me. I have had about 7 years and use frequently. While in Patagonia with a group some of which I discovered were avid birdwatchers, I played the Baltimore Oriel sounds with the phone in pocket. They went nuts trying to find the bird.

Love to use the app with my granddaughter, as well as on my own.

I own several apps that are field guides. All of them are great. Each has features that are powerful. If I could buy only one, this would be the one.

Love this app! I especially love to use the sounds to call in birds who often answer me or fly an sit right above me.

Necessary to start my day...keeps the depravity of news away from me..the pictures and photos, the sounds of birds, plus info about them helps humans enjoy living with birds! App never fails, easy to use..grandaughter enjoys it very much! Better than a mere five stars!!

This app works great whenever I need to identify or confirm a bird. It’s very easy to use and has features to aid in quick identification.

Great app and recent refinements making it better. Particularly like Birds Around Me addition. Any user would do well to read instructions for use, and some time spent studying identifying characteristics of birds will greatly enhance enjoyment, and really help with searches. We are now enjoying 35+ species of birds at our feeders, with some annual variation, and brief transient visitors during spring and fall migrations. Have also id’d a few that don’t come to feeders. Great app for complex subject.

I no longer carry a hard copy field guide when I travel. I often use the bird calls with my ear buds to confirm my field identifications. I’m careful not to disturb birds on their territories. Every birder should have this app.
