All Birds Colombia field guide for Negative User Reviews

✓ Slow to openThe app is very nice in many ways but is very slow to open, which makes it difficult to use in the field. Each time you return to the app it takes more than five seconds to load. Compare this to the Sibley app, for example, which opens in less than a second. We noticed a few mistakes in the app: limpkin is misspelled as “limkpin”; the illustration of the Western Wood Peewee is incorrect; and some species are missing or need updating (eg., Antioquia Wren is missing)..User22342Version: 1.9

✓ Good features, and weaknessesThis series of bird guide apps has some excellent features, in particular the ability to select multiple species to compare. These will be displayed on the screen, and you can switch between showing their illustrations, their range maps, and their vocalizations (displaying the sonograms, or playing the songs and calls). However, there are some weaknesses. The illustrations are not as realistic or as attractive as those of the leading illustrators for South American field guides. Though there are illustrations of many races and plumages of each species, there seem to be none of birds in flight, which are the most important for raptors and others. One minor annoyance is that, once you choose a Family of birds, the species are listed in alphabetical order of the first name, which makes it much harder to use than if they were in taxonomic order. Nonetheless, it’s terrific to have an app for Colombian birds, and there is no alternative at the moment, so anyone going to Colombia to see birds (more species than any other country) needs to get this..Tapaculo reviewsVersion: 1.11

✓ Can’t hear the bird song on my IphoneThe app looks great, but I can’t hear the bird songs on my IPhone. Any clue why?.YapudechoiVersion: 1.11

✓ Decent app. A little over priced.When compared with the new plates from the Lynx / Birdlife physical guides most of the illustrations leave a bit to be desired and there are no map figures for reference. The best feature is the sounds provided with sonograms (a useful learning aid). Would purchase this over the Colombia BirdSounds app since the recordings are of far better quality (Boseman’s better recordings from the other app are represented here as well as many supplementary ones which makes for a good sound library)..PerfectlyroundVersion: 2.1

✓ Nice app but.....I recently purchased this app for use on a forthcoming trip to Colombia. On the surface it seems just about perfect with good coverage of species, well illustrated, good sound clips etc. The downside, and it’s a big one, is that it has a tendency to crash. When it does the only way to get it going again is to delete the app and download and reinstall again. This is totally impractical in the field and given limited WiFi in the lodges far from helpful..Pete22 UKVersion: 1.11

✓ Fails to performI had to buy this app twice, once for android and once for Mac. The Mac version will not open species accounts. Appears to be no way to reload to see if that solves the issue. No help otherwise..Barnes,BobVersion: 1.11

✓ Search mechanism needs to be updatedI had high hopes for this app, but found it difficult to use. It has an amazing catalogue of bird species with lots of useful information on each bird, but the search mechanism makes it difficult to find anything. A few changes would greatly improve the functionality. First , the filter mechanism should start with the most important and basic details, like bird size and primary overall colors. Second, as the user adds variables to the filter, it should narrow the choices, not expand them. The more specific the user is, the fewer choices they should see. The way it currently functions, if you put in 3 variables, you end up with over 1,000 options to search through, which will include birds of ALL sizes. It makes it impossible to identify birds you’re unfamiliar with..SilverernstVersion: 2.2
