IBird Yard+ Guide to Birds for Positive User Reviews
✓ Very stable and useful applicationI have been using this application since the day it was released, and while I can't wait for the PLUS version, I am just truly impressed with the stability and usability of this application... without even any updates! Full of very good pictures, sounds (Which are actually quite loud!!), and descriptions, this is a great “birding” companion. Again, can't WAIT for the PLUS version, but this application will happily hold me over! Thank you for such a great application!.Version: 0
✓ A mustBe like a pro without the hasle.Version: 9.30
✓ Love it!So helpful when a new bird is spotted.Version: 10.06
✓ AwesomeUse it every day Spring to Summer👍.Version: 10.06
✓ Bird watching newbyGreat teacher app for Newby like me..Version: 5.0
✓ Love this appI like the multiple ways to ID a bird-shape, color, sound, area. These feathered friends are sometimes fleeting or hidden and reveal only a hint on who they are. A lot of work goes into creating a good database..Version: 10.06
✓ AwesomeAwesome App.Version: 9.2
✓ I love the sounds!This app works well. I especially like the bird songs. While not really in depth, it serves it’s purpose for back yard birding..Version: 10.06
✓ Excellent resource!I live in rural East Texas and am able to enjoy quite a collection of neighboring birds who fly in for the all-you-can-eat buffets at my feeders. This app is a perfect resource for a newbie birdwatcher like me to easily id the birds I see, or helpful & interesting to the more knowledgeable lovers of birds and their habitats. Highly recommend! Looking forward to “reading” iBird Yard with my grandson as we watch the birds outside our windows..Version: 10.06
✓ Great app!!Like it so far, been photographing birds lately to fine tune my camera skills and suddenly found myself developing a strong interest in them. Ruby-Throated Hummingbird amazes me, although some birds are not in this app, such as a Cardinal which I have a big interest in, probably will be added in time. Love it so far. No complaints. I'm back 7 days later and this app is awesome, unbelievable, I'm really enjoying it to the fullest. Last Sunday, just before dark, I was playing different bird songs to my friend when suddenly a mocking bird got out of bed and started defending his territory, flew inches over our head, and then the cardinals started raising cane, darndest thing I've ever seen. Recommend to anyone, you surely can't go wrong..Version: 4.0
✓ This app keeps getting better!The developers just added nearly 100 birds to this app-I was really happy to see the Red-tailed Hawk was added, as were a number of shorebirds. I can't say enough good things about the sounds, most birds have multiple recordings now so you can hear both songs and calls. I'd buy this app for the sounds alone. I found the manual easy to understand and navigate, and a great addition. I have several good field guides, and they're all collecting dust thanks to this app. I am amazed at the wealth of information available for each bird, and I'd recommend this app to anybody. Hands down this is my favorite app, I love the photos, illustrations, facts, sounds, notes and favorites, and everything else..Version: 3.1
✓ Great for this beginnerAs a bird watching newbie, I came to try this app from the recommendation of a brother-in-law. It was just what I needed to begin to organize and learn what birds are visiting my feeders and living around my yard. I was able to collect my birds into the favorites list so I can focus on their attributes. Although still learning about the app and all that us in it, I like it very much and consider it a great value..Version: 6.1
✓ Love at first flightA very impressive app - has both illustrations, photos and sounds plus a very impressive search engine. Essentially a field guide that teaches you the analytic process an advanced birder uses to identify a species. We have about 12 bird feeders so this low cost backyard version seemed ideal. What surprised me was how easy it is to understand who these little fellows and gals are - there is an amazing amount of information about each bird which helped me appreaciate these children of nature. And the bird calls actually attracted Goldfinches to our yard! For sure a worthy investment..Version: 0
✓ Outstanding and useful for any bird nerd!I don't know that I qualify as a "bird nerd", but I certainly do like birds and often wonder what kinds I'm seeing in various places, not to mention what the sounds I'm hearing might be coming from. iBird solves that problem in an extremely useful manner, allowing me to simply carry my iPhone and perform a search that helps me narrow down the possibilities. It provides excellent pictures, sounds, descriptions, and fun facts about each bird and proved its value to me within minutes. I was even finally was able to identify a woodpecker I'd seen 7 years ago, but didn't know the name of. If you like birds at all, this app is a must-have!.Version: 0
✓ GreatLove the app. Very realistic and so accurate. Sat in the backyard and played birdsongs and the real birds answered..Version: 4.0
✓ Must Have for Birders!This is an awesome app! It's an excellent resource for experienced birders, amateurs or anyone interested in birds. The information provided is the equivalent of several field guides and other birding resources all in one easy to use and cleverly designed interface. The best part is that there is no waiting for webpages to load and no requirement for internet access, and no need to lug heavy field guides with you - all the pictures, photos, range maps, songs and identification information are stored on your iPhone ready to use in the field or anywhere your birding takes you!.Version: 0
✓ So great!This app is pretty great. The interface is easy to use and they sounds are perfect. When I play them outside, our local birds respond! Had I known how cool it is, I would have gone for a larger version..Version: 0
✓ Great for audio IDI bought this primarily for the audio feature, which has not yet disappointed(and is great for driving cats crazy). Just now ran across gross misinformation regarding breeding area of the Bald Eagle, which leads me to wonder about accuracy of info for species I am *not* familiar with. Well organized within itself, easy to use, great photography, stupendous audio library, highly recommend..Version: 6.1
✓ Educative and funVery good app to have when watching birds in the backyard. Kids can't get enough of it!.Version: 6.0
✓ Great appI use this App when i go in the trails. I call cardinals and they come to me..Version: 6.1
✓ Excellent backyard birder guideIBird Backyard is a great reference tool. While it does mot include all the features of its bigger brother, iBird Pro, you get a feature rich app that helps you identify the birds that visit your yard. In addition you get tons of info not found in field guides to enhance your birding experience. I highly recommend this app..Version: 5.1
✓ Very educational and instant accessNice photos and call identification..Version: 10.06
✓ Impressive app needing only small improvements here and thereIBird Backyard is a truly interactive identification guide: The combination of visuals (illustrations + photos), sounds, and links to similar species make this app incredibly useful in both the field and the armchair. However, it does have some shortcomings, but minor ones which I hope would be fixed in future versions: * Sluggish searching * Quite a few typos * Somewhat confusing navigation between lists of similar species (need a clearer way to denote clickable vs. non-clickable list items) * Frequent crashes (perhaps memory management issues?) Overall, I'm looking forward to using the extended iBird Plus version of the app -- although I wonder if it will also have the same issues as the ones here. In any case, the iBird app(s) should set the standard for identification guides on the iPhone: it'd be great if and when other nature guides follow suit..Version: 0
✓ Great appWe love this app. New birders so we need all the help we can get..Version: 5.1
✓ Not a birder, but a bird lover!I live in the boonies in the PNW, having grown up in So. Cal. I have SO many birds passing through my yard - from owls and bald eagles to little yellow finch-like things that flit so fast that I haven't been able to see more than a blur of yellow! Someday, I'll see enough to narrow down my search, and I know this app will help me identify it. I've identified one frequent visitor by its morning-song! The perfect app for anyone who looks at the world with a "what's that?" on their lips!.Version: 9.30
✓ The good and the badAs a blatant amateur I do like the program but have two problems with it. In order to go back and find a list of the birds I've seen I have to mark every identified bird as a favorite. I would like a tab for "my record of birds". Also, I have not yet been able to have a bird name come up by what I have entered in the search. When I see a bird I do not know I can't say where it's common home is, etc. But, the rest of the app is amazing, the photos and information most helpful..Version: 4.0
✓ A Must Have!For birding or wilderness enthusiasts, this is a 'must have' tool. This takes the field guide to a completely new level. For each bird there is a wealth of useful information to identify and learn while actually being in nature..Version: 0
✓ Amazing but one thing...It should be able to pick up the sound of a birds call and tell you what it is. Thats a really good thing they should work on for a new version. Sort of like shazam but with bird songs. Great app!.Version: 0
✓ Amazing Reference GuideWorks like a charm! Much easy to carry around than a field guide. 5 stars~.Version: 0
✓ Love itAs I write this on my deck in Champaign IL, where after a spell of molten heat we are enjoying California weather and I am sipping a New Zealand Sauvignon blanc, the ruby-throated hummers are in the last week or so of bulking up, various others (cardinals, sparrows) are crowding around willing me to put out the peanut butter-suet-cornmeal-oatmeal mix I call bird crack, the dog (samoyed white as snow) is sleeping quietly, and what better companion could I have but this wonderful iPhone app?.Version: 4.0
✓ IBird Apps Are The Best !I have tried all the various bird identification apps and find all the iBird apps from the Mitch Waite Group to be the most comprehensive, detailed and easiest to use. Photos and illustrations are top notch. Voice recording clear and very helpful. Rich in details and always well-researched and accurate. You can't go wrong with any of their products. Money well spent :-).Version: 9.1
✓ Best everPrograms just don't get better than this. Grab a bag of sandwiches and the kids ( or in my case the grand kids) and head outdoors to turn into the Best Birders you could ever be. G'Ma.Version: 6.0
✓ Oshawa bird manThis is a very useful app. I use it up north and on my iPhone while playing golf..Version: 6.1
✓ Great!Great app. One of my favorites for years. Gives you a lot of features for free..Version: 10.06
✓ Easy to UseI have enjoyed this app as it is comprehensive and easy to navigate..Version: 10.06
✓ UnbelievableI love this easy to use app with more than 100 species of bird. I enjoy this app so much even when I'm at dinner. This minute learning app is just incredible..Version: 10.06
✓ Amazing Program - Outstanding Support!!!I was as impressed by the customer support as I was by the program! Mitchell Waite, the APPs developer, patiently worked off and on with this "not very high tech Grammy" for two days. When she still couldn't "get it," Mr. Waite graciously sent her another program to use. It turned out that the program was not at fault at all! My husband finally got it working. The problem was answered in the FACs (if Grammy had just understood it all better). The problem was just a quirk in the way the volume needs to be raised high enough to hear sounds. Now I can get back to my bird watching and teaching my grandchildren. I have a whole new generation of bird lovers to raise. Thank you again Mitch!.Version: 0
✓ Great app!I love this app and have used it to call in some of my favorite birds. Easy to use with great photos..Version: 10.06
✓ Jade928caGreat app to have when bird watching.Version: 6.1
✓ Elegant resource and easy to use.This is truly a valuable program for anyone interested in identifying and learning more about birds. The depth of information is vast and interesting. Having the option of identifying the bird sounds opens up a new arena for identifying and understanding which birds are in the area. With the portability of the iPhone, this program provides access to information easy and fun. The illustrations are detailed and beautiful..Version: 0
✓ Wonderful AppI have used this app in Texas and Florida. It has helped me to identify and learn about many birds. I sit on my patio every morning to watch the birds feed. Recently noticed a new one I was able to ID as a house finch. When I turned on the recording of the male bird calling, about 30 nearby finches flew in and perched on top of my crepe myrtle. It was an awesome experience..Version: 10.06
✓ Very niceHad the iPad out in the backyard, playing the field sparrow call when a real one starting answering me from a tree nearby. We had a very interesting conversation tho I have no idea what it was about. This app needs a bird-to-word translator!.Version: 4.0
✓ A good appThis is a very good app if you are looking for a basic bird guide for North America. It only has 234 birds on in which is why it is cheaper than the other versions. So again, it's basic but will get the job done. I live in the midwest and that ibird section alone has 595 birds in it so that is definatly a big jump from 234. Personaly I would get your section like "south" "midwest" "west" "north" etc... but this is a good way to get used to the program and to start off!.Version: 5.1
✓ Perfect/AwesomeWas indispensable in helping us identify birds at our home. Great features including Favorites to save your entries. The most enjoyable and entertaining part of this app was to be able to 'talk' to the birds. We would sit on our deck, click on one of our Favorites and have a menagerie of birds fly in to 'talk' back to us. We felt a part of their crowd. Educational with additional info to further your knowledge allowed us to hand feed those birds indicated who would get used to our presence. To sit amongst the flock and be accepted as one of the crowd was awesome. Wouldn't have had as good a summer without this educational tool..Version: 5.0
✓ Great beginners birding appIf you are just getting started with birding this app is spectacular. It lists a lot of the more common birds that you will see in your backyard, and gives you lots of tools for identifying different species. My only complaint is the lack of a concise way to keep track of all of the birds you have seen..Version: 5.1
✓ Good AppThis app is really good for identifying the birds that come in my yard. I especially like using the the slideshow of the favorites list to learn to distinguish similar-looking birds. Sounds also help with this..Version: 10.06
✓ Way, way better than a bookWow. A superb job of creating a bird guide on the iPhone. There's more detail here about each species than you'll find in a bird-spotting book, plus you've got the sounds and a great search function to help you ID a bird by location, color, size, etc. This edition has only backyard birds, so if you're a serious bird watcher you might want to wait for their iBird Plus, which will have a lot more species. But for the casual birder (especially with a backyard feeder) this is a 5-star application all the way. Very well done!.Version: 0
✓ Excellent Bird ResourceEasy to navigate, great pictures..Version: 10.04
✓ Complete and easyVery user friendly and accurate. I use the recorded bird songs to call them in..Version: 10.06
✓ Useful appsI love this app. I love the link to the journal. It makes documenting so easy. I started seeing a hummingbird come around and wanted to take pictures. I played the hummingbird call repeatedly and then shut it off and within seconds two birds showed up at the feeder. I am also able to learn to recognize the birdcall through listening to the call on the app..Version: 6.1
✓ Easy to useVery handy and easy to use. Lots of good information..Version: 10.04
✓ I birdsI love this app. It is very easy to use for the novice and contains information for the more advanced user. They update it often and it is accurate. You can easily take it with you into the field or pick it up at home when you see a bird you would like more information about..Version: 5.1
✓ Bird watchingI love the app and I love learning new things about birds and I found out about new birds that I didn’t even know about the only thing that I hate is the bird watching because the bird watching because the birds are so fast it’s Dumb but otherwise it’s awesome😇..Version: 10.06
✓ Amazing bird calls!This app is well worth the5 bucks! Cool pages giving good, clear info that is easy to use too. The audio quality is amazing. Best puchase I've made on here..Version: 0
✓ Great app. For watching your backyard birdsI’ve had this app going on 6-7 years, I never know that We had 32 different kinds of species of birds in our backyard. I would greatly recommend this app for first time bird watching Pat Santos Manteca,ca.Version: 10.06
✓ Terrific, worth the small priceThis app is so much handier than doing a google search or filtering through dozens of web pages for bird info. I've used it for ID'ing our backyard (and frontyard!) birds and it has been accurate and easy to use each time. Very functional interface and I particularly love the sound files. To the developers: please add even more sound files..Version: 6.1
✓ IBird Explorer BackyardVery nice program. The pictures are good as are the bird calls, decriptions, and related information. I like that the listings can be regionalized. We spend lots of time in Texas, Ohio, Oregon, and North Carolina. The program allows you to search birds found in the general geographic region - a real plus. I do, however, look forward to the next step: all birds native to North America. We really would enjoy the addition of raptors, shore birds, etc..Version: 0
✓ It's about time!This is a wonderful application for identifying the birds in your backyard. Each bird not only has beautiful hand drawn illustrations and extensive ID information but in many cases photos as well songs and several plumage varieties. The search feature is just plain awesome and easy to use. And, the best part is that unlike my heavy field guide, it’s always with me so I can quickly identify that unknown bird that visits my feeders. I just got the new update and am really impressed with the new additions. Tons of new photos and if I need further ID information I can now go to flickr for even more photos and while I rarely had a crash with this program now it seems to be crash free wtih this new update. I am exctied to also be able to check my favorite birds! I recommend this download 100%, you won’t be disappointed..Version: 0
✓ Pretty good.I have the app and I dont use it often but once I saw a hawk but I didnt know what kind. I looked up the stuff and some hawks that were seen in the area before were there but im not sure if they match. Pretty Good app..Version: 10.06
✓ Top Shelf - A "Must Have" for all iBirders!Very polished, and quite extensive. This is definitely a “Must Have” iPhone app if you enjoy feeding and/or watching birds. I’m definitely waiting for the “Plus” version, since I have quite a few birds that commonly visit my yard that are not included in this version. I would like to see more of the Raptors, I have many that visit on a daily basis, and although they aren’t eating from the feeders, they do manage the occasional snack (usually a Rock Dove or Mourning Dove). Specific Raptors that visit are Coopers Hawk, Red Tail Hawk, Sharp Shinned Hawk, American Kestrel, and the occasional Golden Eagle. Conspicuously absent are Brewers Blackbirds, which are among the “usual suspects.” A few of the listings lack photos. Male, female, juvenile descriptions are lacking in others. I thoroughly enjoy using this app. In spite of these omissions, it is very handy to have this information instantly available. Thanks to the recorded calls, I’ve finally been able to figure out which bird is singing outside our bedroom window in the morning. Well worth the price. I eagerly await the upgraded “Plus” version..Version: 0
✓ Love it 💗💗I'm strictly a backyard watcher . I don't do long bird watching trips etc, so this limited selection of birds is perfect for my needs. The layout is intuitive and I can find a bird fairly easily. I go to this before my Peterson guide. It's got the bird songs too – usually a few different ones for each bird, and they're long enough to get a good sense of what to listen for. I first bought it for my iPod touch and thought it was pretty nice, but I recently got a new iPad and wow! Everything is gorgeous. If you get it, take some time to explore around in it. There's tons of information in this app! We have a kitchen rack for the iPad, where it sits when it's not being used elsewhere, and the slideshow feature is great; fun to see the beautiful bird pics whenever I'm in the kitchen. We find ourselves standing there watching it like tv. I haven't tried it, but I think you can add your own bird pics to the show too. But don't leave the sound option checked unless you want to hear constant bird chirping ☺..Version: 5.1
✓ AudobonThis haas brought back so many memories for me, from the Boy Scout badge I earned back in the 60’s….to my back yard feeders i keep year -round for my feathered living fossils…thank you!.Version: 10.06
