BirdsEye Bird Finding Guide for Positive User Reviews
✓ For birding enthusiastsLoaded with features to help identify birds and monitor your life list. I love the map feature which shows actual sightings of birds..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Best mobile app for finding birds.This app is excellent. I haven’t had any of the other problems that I’ve seen in other comments. No download issues, it’s been completely free for me to use. I LOVE that it shows the time of year that each species occurs in your location. This is app is intuitive and full of great information for beginners to lifelong birders. Comparison: I don’t like how the list funtion works for tracking birds you have seen. It seems that lists are tied to EBird hotspot locations only, so I could not, for example, make a backyard list for this app. I don’t mind This however, because I only use eBird for list making anyways. The Audubon app also has custom list making ability, so this downside to this app does not impact my use of it. Audubon app also shows birds around you, but it doesn’t include all hotspots, so this app holds more information. Other apps with this level of functionality are not free. You can get all this information on the ebird website, but this app is the best option when you aren’t using a laptop. 10 our of 10 in my book..Version: 2.6
✓ Simply indispensableI use this App almost daily - I check out the hotspots within 50 miles to see what is moving in, moving out and currently present as well as searching for rarities. On trips, I track our progress against good birding sites along our route. It is an excellent tool that can significantly enhance your birding experience..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great ToolGreat for keeping track of life list and looking for birding activity close to a location.Version: 2.4
✓ Real World informationThis app provides timely information by location based on actual sightings by real birders. The sightings are vetted by expert birders to provide the most accurate information. What could be better?.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Invaluable!Wow! I bought this app within 5 minutes of hearing about it, and have not regretted it in the least. Many of the major hotspots show recent activity, and the fact that the app lists birds that have been seen in an area within the last 3 years is extremely valuable -- if the bird was there before, it might be there again. With descriptions of the habitat type the bird prefers, quality recordings of their calls, and a "life list" built right in that can be used to narrow down recent sightings of birds you have *not* seen yet, I'd be willing to say this has become the most useful app on my iPhone, and if you are a birder, it could very well be on yours too. Thank you, BirdsEye..Version: 0
✓ Un autre outilUn bel outil pour les ornithologues..Version: 2.4
✓ Must have tool for the birderAbsolutely fantastic app. Will change the way you do your birding. Find out what is showing without leaving your house! Brilliant..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great!!I have used this app on many of my trips including North America, Europe, India, Belize, Thailand, Taiwan and Turkey. My latest trip to Thailand I used it to find birding locations everywhere we went! It works great. It’s the first thing I look at before I go on a trip. Some times I will also add to it from the internet or get a book, or an app for the area I’m headed. Thanks so much for this app!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ A very useful app.I live in an area well-populated by birders so lots of information to be had on this app. Navigation is simple and one just has to remember that, as it is based on ebird reports, that it's not going to be 100% accurate in terms of sighting reports..Version: 2.2
✓ Great for finding new birdsThis is a great app for easily finding new birds as so many people contribute to eBird which supplies this information. What a great idea for an app. My only concern is if it provides too much information on rare and vulnerable species to collectors or wildlife smugglers causing suffering to those species..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Great way to record birdsHow easy to record sightings and have them entered in eBird. No more download-edit-upload sessions, so more time for birds!.Version: 2.2
✓ Continues to get better!I like the fact that there is still the need for data, sounds & photos for some species. It gives us all the opportunity to contribute and be citizen scientists..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Totally worthwhile!This is incredibly useful! I use it all the time in EVERY location I visit! It helps me find what is interesting in the locations I visit. In addition, having access, handily, to calls, and photographs makes it especially with bio.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great toolI use & enjoy frequently even though I am unable to bird as much as previously. If I want to know if the Cedar Waxwings are still in my area in spring I go to Birdseye where I can see chart of recent sightings in date order. I also love Daily Bird app for seeing birds I may or may not ever see as well as remembering birds I have seen & enjoyed in the past. Brings back many great memories..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Essential birding appThis is one of the apps that every birder should have. It tells you which birds to expect at any given time of year in any given area, which is amazingly helpful. The photos and audio files are all excellent quality. For beginners, this app will allow you to easily scroll through the birds in your area, allowing you to potentially identify the bird without flipping through a field guide. More experienced birders will love the frequency bars showing when to expect each bird throughout the year, and the audio files for each species. This app does not give detailed descriptions of birds (such as behaviors and habitat), so it does not replace more in-depth field guides. But for actual usefulness while birding, this app is essential..Version: 2.6
✓ Could be betterI don't like the way it works on my iPad. It should turn when you tilt the screen..Version: 2.2
✓ A great resource for identifying target speciesYes, a great resource for identifying target species when one visits a new area. Tho the eBird app is more appropriate for submitting data and maintaining one's own bird lists..Version: 2.2
✓ Best bird app ever!Birdseye is indispensable! The best thing is that it shows which birds have been seen IN THE AREA where you are visiting, and provides a bar graph of the number of sightings by month. So you can quickly narrow down which are the likely species that you have seen. It is crowd-sourced and linked to EBird (both from Cornell). The app also includes photos of the birds, but does NOT contain descriptions of the birds—its only weakness. But use Birdseye in combination with one of the apps (like Audubon) that provide descriptions. Also, Birdseye works all over the world, not just in North America. An amazing app that has revolutionized birding!.Version: 2.5
✓ An excellent and essential birding toolI have had the $2.99/month subscription for at least 2 years now and just love this app. It’s the only app on my phone that I pay for and am happy to pay for. The audio files are such a great resource. Love this app.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Quality of a Paid App, but FreeI’ve used dozens of bird apps through their and my lifespan. The overwhelming majority of apps I liked costed money, and only a few that were free had the same value as a paid app. Birds Eye, by far, is my favorite bird app of 7+ years along with eBird. Don’t bother with the paid apps, everything is inside of this well-designed, well-executed free app..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Fantastic!I’ve been using BirdsEye for a few years now. Paid for the world membership. Definitely worth the investment. Keep my life list on my IPad and my year list on my iPhone. I love that the membership allows each device it’s own information. Highly recommend this app..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Excellent app!This is the ultimate app for birding. Based on eBird data, you can find out what you need to see and where to see it..Version: 2.4.1
✓ A few quibbles away from 5 starsThis app has been my essential go-to since I got it when it was available only for iPhone and only $20, one-time. We are a birding family and all use/love it. Some search features could use improvement, and the occasional crashes and bugs are a bit annoying. Otherwise, it would be 5 stars for me..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Birdy helperLove this app, hope it continues to expand its bird library, really helpful planner when heading off to bird and easy to use out on the field as a quick reference tool. Thanks..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Great resource but has ‘hang ups’This has been one of my favorite apps for some time. Information, photos and maps are fantastic. Though performance has improved, it still hangs up and needs to be restarted when switching views of ‘Daily Bird’ pictures and information. Please fix that so I can rate this 5*!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ BirdseyeMy Favourite bird app..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Impressive but trickyI have the e-bird apps for North America, South America (paid) and the World (paid). How do I sync these with the world app, so that I can get an accurate number of bird sightings, to keep track of my numbers. Probably, I have to go onto my laptop, but that is annoying as I should be able to sync across my devices and across my different apps. If you sell an app, then make it useable without the need for a laptop. Your new picture id format does not work on my Apple devices. You can't crop the downloaded photo so can't progress to the next step in the progress. Hopefully that will be fixed as you can't bring your laptop into the field..Version: 2.3
✓ I love this appAnytime my family has a trip planned I use this app to discover what new life birds I’ll be able to see. And, when we are there and unfamiliar with local birding sites, this app show us where we need to go to see target species. As the title says, I love this app..Version: 2.5
✓ Great painting and photo combinationThis is my go to app for bird info. It is an encyclopedia of bird info, with range maps, descriptions, detailed ID features, search capabilities, sounds, etc., etc. The unique feature is having both paintings (with key features identified) and photos. A more complete set of photos would be useful—for some species there are redundant photos of adult males but no photos of juveniles or nonbreeding plumages..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Excellent AppI love that this app is free. I also love that anywhere I go, I can see what bird species have been seen recently, plus how often. I have NOT experienced the downloading and other frustrations that other reviews have mentioned. I enjoy this resource..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Great app for birdersI especially like the fact that it will show me recent sitings near your current location. Very useful when traveling. Field guide can be nice if not as sophisticated as some apps but I find the location parts most valuable..Version: 2.4.1
✓ My favourite app but could do moreDespite being my most expensive app, it is also my favourite. I use it on trips all over the world and it helps to know what is around, to target and find species I have never seen and to make identifications by narrowing the options and showing images. It is also a great tool for just getting into interesting areas of high diversity - more useful than hotspots as it can more quickly indicate the habitats and specialties for a site. IMO, there is one addition that would make this app so much better and give it 5 stars. I would like to be able to access data for one month as is now available or to access all available data for the given area being sampled. Many places I visit have little eBird activity and being able to tap the database for all records would vastly improve the bird finding potential of the app. I find I have to search the eBird website for taxa of interest when I am in sparsely birded areas and this is tedious and defeats the purpose of BirdsEye. If this is an issue with server time and app performance, it could be limited to a certain number of records (a threshold could be set where it won’t pick up all data if this is limiting). However, being able to toggle this on and off would be amazing. Users would be aware that searches are slower if searching the entire database and likely use this sparingly..Version: 2.5
✓ Very good app.Usefull application about birds.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Great tool to find bird "needs"We are working to increase the number of birds on our ABA North American list and this is a fabulous app for locating hot spots and birds. Was unsure about paying for the access but have been happy as its aided in finding several life birds near where we have been..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great app especially if you’re birding in a new area!I refer to this app frequently to see what birds are showing up or leaving here locally or when I travel, I can find the hotspots with recent bird sightings AND get directions to those locations. It has some other helpful bird id features, but not as robust as some other digital “field guides” like Sibley’s or iBird Pro..Version: 2.6.1
✓ I still love it!The app works even better since a few months with faster update of recent sightings. The only problem is when you click to the map view of a species it is not all the reports that are displayed when you compare to eBird data. Keep you your good work Gilbert Bouchard.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Cool toolThis app conveniently pulls together all of the eBird information you would want, allowing you to review what has been seen in the field recently so that you can prepare an outing. You can connect to eBird so that your life list is uploaded which allows the app to present your needs list for a given area. Multiple field photos are great as well as the songs and calls making it a great tool to assist with difficult identification. Love this app!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Excellent birding tool!This has been really handy - both for narrowing down what bird I'm looking at, and for getting an idea what I might see before I go out. It's made identification easier, and it's fantastic for up-to-date info on the birds in an area. Great stuff!.Version: 0
✓ Could use an update on featuresThe smart search feature could use improving, needs more criteria. Also, noticed you can't set different parameters between notable and rare species in the rare bird alerts section. Hope an update soon, wondering when since it's been over a year since 2015, especially when you're paying a monthly membership..Version: 2.4.1
✓ IndispensableThis is my go to app whenever I plan any trip, even non-birding trips. I use the “browse by location” to check out what is around in the nearest CBC, and then search for a location if I find a bird I’m interested in finding..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Great appI have about 4 birding apps on my phone, but this is my go to app time and time again. Favorite feature is being able to easily see what "notable" species have been seen nearby and from there link to a map to see/navigate to location!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great appI really like this app, particularly the life list. I was able to add, one species at a time, my entire life list which is currently at 615. It took a couple days of work but now I have an easy to access list and the app will notify me of nearby species observed that I still need on my list. This alone is worth the price..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Valuable toolI use several bird apps and this is one I always have with me for several reasons. 1 . the 'near me' function narrows the selection of birds when in unfamiliar places. 2. The frequency by month gives a lot of information at a glance. 3. Worldwide coverage in one app is great. On the 'can do better ' front 1. Many birds have incomplete info. Other apps have more detailed pix and descriptions 2. You need an internet connection to get value from the app. Downloading 'near me' information would be a big plus..Version: 2.4.1
✓ A handy resourceThe pictures may be too large in file size for a web app. When I use it, it drains my data very fast. However an excellent resource!.Version: 2.3
✓ Very useful appVery easy to use and lots of great features.Version: 2.2
✓ Bird’s EyeAs an amateur birder, I really appreciate Birdseye. He helps me know what birds are in the area, and when seasonal birds are here or gone. One thing I wish it would do, and perhaps it does but I just don’t understand it, is when I see the scales of the number of birds around, I wish it would help me understand how many birds that really represents, rather than just a relative number. I’m not sure how to do this but that would be my wish..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Can it get better?Every time I use this app I am astounded by its utility and how it helps my birding. A truly excellent app! I am currently in a new location and have been helped not only to find birds and birding hotspots, but also the directions how to get there..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Birders should download this app.I use this any time that I’m traveling or looking for a new spot to go birding. It seems to consolidate eBird checklists very well and show you hotspots in new areas. I would highly recommend for birders who love to travel or listers looking for new birds..Version: 2.6.1
✓ BirdsEye works fantastically!Newest successful experience with this profoundly useful and elegant app: I was attending a meeting at the Jackson Lake Lodge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (someone had to go!). As I always do on such trips, I looked to see if there were any nearby opportunities to see new birds. I hadn't been to Wyoming for decades, so there were several, and at one site only 29 minutes away by car someone had reported a Great Grey Owl to eBird just 5 days before. After the meetings were over I went to the location, Upper Turpin Meadows, and while I didn't find an owl my first visit, in the afternoon, I did find one the next morning. Life Bird. Thank you BirdsEye!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great Birding LogLove the fact that I can create a list as I go, contribute to bird data for the benefit of the birds and other birders. I would give it a 5 if it was integrated within the EBird application so I didn’t have to open two apps. Brilliant App, I love it.Version: 2.5
✓ Good but a few glitchesThe app has good functionality and I use it in the field. However, it has stability issues; it often forgets your ebird login and even worse the downloaded for offline audio sometimes disappears leaving you in the field without the recordings you need. However, I'm still glad that I purchased it and I recommend it..Version: 2.2
✓ Birding made easy!I use this to find out when a favorite bird is back in the area, and to sanity check my own observations. I'm new to west coast birding, and this has helped locate quite a few life birds for me. Very impressive interface makes it easy to use. Hope it's maintained for the long run!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ GreatGreat app. Use it a lot especially when traveling. Rare bird information is great. EXCEPT would be very helpful to have State or general location as first bits of where bird was seen. Often have to open and go through several pages just to see where it was see.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Offline ImprovementI need a reliable way to have access to my favorite locations while I am far from internet or cell signal, and I have not been able to do that with BirdsEye. I hope they will develop a way to access photos and calls while offline..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Full time wandererI have lived in a tiny camper for over 4 years and wander this gorgeous country full time often camping off grid. I follow the birds. Everywhere I go I use this app to find the birds in the area and plan my birding. It lets me know what birds I’ve not seen or what is notable or rare in the area. It uses EBird and my life list to figure it all out. I recommend it to birders I meet all the time..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Fantastic birding toolGreat app! Use it all the time for birding; especially useful in more populated areas. It can sometimes be slow to load sightings or hotspots on map view. This version is the same as the pre-membership one..Version: 2.2
✓ Love it but…It’s become very buggy in the past year. Most annoyingly,It now tells me I have a new Internet connection, even though I have full bars and all the other apps I have no problem connecting. Also,When I try to “ select a life or year list” either nothing happens or it goes to the select language screen. Developers, please fix!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Great data, photos, locationsBirdseye shows me which species have been seen locally, allowing me to quick check photos, on those hard to ID ducks, sparrows or warblers. Then it let’s me know which birds have been seen locally, that are not YET in my life list AND it provides great map with specific hotspots, so I can head out to find the birds. I use this app everyday..Version: 2.6.1
✓ So goodI literally use it everyday for quick peeks at what’s being seen within 100 miles of me. This app has caused me to cancel my day and hit the road multiple times..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Very good appOverall a very good app for bird identification and locating nearby species (especially like the 'Rare species' locator); it's compatibility with eBird is also a great feature that allows you to check already seen species off. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because the free version is limited in species no. and search options. But more importantly I would be willing to pay a one off payment for the full version but it instead wants a subscription which as a student I can't afford..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Good, useful, helpfulI got this app when I first started birding with any degree of seriousness. It has proved terrifically useful, helpful and most often spot/on in helping me do it better. Well worth the cost and the renewal costs..Version: 2.5
✓ IncrediblePhotographs are invaluable aid to identification. Songs and calls are beautiful. Locator is awesome. This is absolutely worth the money. The best app I have purchased by far. I love it almost as much as I love birds..Version: 0
✓ Awesome toolThis app has been developed with the border in mind, and it’s the best way I know to enter observations to eBird. I even use it over eBird a computer interface when I’m home! I’m impressed by their continuing development and improvements, and looking forward to it getting even better! Scott Whittle Co author of The Warbler Guide.Version: 2.5
✓ Must-have for any birderBirdsEye is critical for any birder, and particularly state and county listers and guides. I recommend this app to everyone. Only complaint is that species maps don’t always match up to recent sightings on the actual eBird website... sometimes this can be extremely annoying..Version: 2.5
✓ UsefulVersion 2.4 works great on my iPhone 6.Version: 2.4
✓ Very useful but…This is a great app, and I have the full version but it’s frustrating that it sometimes takes ages to update itself when you turn it on. I also can’t get my ipad to synch the same way as my iPhone does..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Great app!Updates info on the ground quickly. Many ppl contributing. Great way to choose your walk for the day..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great resourceI find myself using this more and more. Finding locations to visit in unfamiliar territory is so much easier than searching the Internet. And now that I have linked it to my ebird account I can contribute my sightings to the community..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great for birdersLove it. I plan outings with it. Great help in finding good birding sites. I can't find it to add on my new iPad..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great app - even with an itouchTook this app on a vacation to Florida. Used it in my hotel room to load up local sightings of birds I was interested in, as well as birding hot spots. With the information loaded, I used my gps to navigate to these locations. I was able to visit numerous hot spots that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. I also found the elusive scrub jay I was seeking. Lastly, it saved me from wasting efforts pursuing species that just weren't being seen in the area. Definitely improved my birding vacation experiences and added to my life list.Version: 1.3
