Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab Pros
✓ Great app! And only getting betterHighly recommend Merlin to anyone to use. There are several ways to find birds and there is lots of different pictures and sounds for most birds, making ID much easier than with a guidebook. We love using this app at home in Australia. The bird sound ID needs a bit of work (which I am sure it is getting- as the developers seem very good at working on and updating this app). We also discovered a bird pack for Sulawesi, Indonesia for our trip there which is fantastic! We were struggling to find a guidebook for this area and we’re very grateful that Merlin added a pack for it. They seem to add packs and updates quite often..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Excellent AppThis app is reliable and accurate in quickly Identifying birds. It fills you with confidence. It has been a terrific asset to this newly interested birder..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab Positive ReviewsMerlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab Cons
✗ Fantastic UK version. Poor Australian version.My parents put me onto this app when visiting the UK recently. The sound ID was incredible and picked up many birds in short time. 5/5. On returning to Brisbane I installed the local bird data pack. It’s abysmal and cannot identify even the most common birds. 1/5..Version: 2.1.8
✗ Fun but inaccurateI wish there were an option to record sightings of birds without going through the whole ID process. I just saw a snow bunting - it’s unusual for this area, but not impossible. When I tried to go through the ID process to record it, nothing came up. I tried so many variations of size and colour and got no matching birds. I see it’s in the database, but there’s no option to click on the bird in the database and say “I saw this”. I even tried adjusting the location to one where I know this bird should be present and it still didn’t come up as a suggestion. This has also happened several times with other birds - I know what it is, but it doesn’t show up as an option when I go through the step by step ID. The photo ID option is cool if you can get a decent enough photo and the sound ID is very fun because I’m terrible at remembering bird calls..Version: 3.0.2
