ChirpOMatic - Birdsong Europe for Negative User Reviews

✓ What region is this for?Designed to be used in UK? Purchased for use in US, a brief statement scrolled quickly past seemed to say it was developed for birds native to UK. That info wasn't available prior to purchase, can't find that reference again. Not clear what region it's useful in..CFJBirdbrainVersion: 1.0.0

✓ ‘Waiting for results’ can leave app hangingHave found that after recording the app sometimes (actually quite often) seems to get stuck at the ‘waiting for results’ step. Useful if there was a way of cancelling if this happens as the only way I’ve found of getting round this is deleting and reinstalling app..Appleby123Version: 3.0.1

✓ Hit and missSometimes it’s right. Quite often it’s not. A couple of times I’ve tricked it by doing it indoors with the windows shut and it comes up with all sorts of suggestions that are clearly not right.EelsterVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Doesn’t work for me.Used through an iphone6 and given it several attempts to get it right. Been careful about back ground noise and wind over the mic. During my trials pheasants and buzzards have been easily the loudest birds but were never picked up. Singing blackbirds have also been present and not identified. Only correct example I have found was a robin. Today I was no more than a couple of metres from a pair of little brown jobbies I didn’t recognise. They were both singing away loudly and continuously. App said siskins! I know siskins, we have them on our feeders. Siskins they were NOT! Every recording I have done has identified ‘Collared Dove’. I have yet to hear or see such a dove at the time of recording. From my experience of this app I can only conclude that it doesn’t work and not worth buying and installing..Andy the BirdmanVersion: 2.2.0

✓ Bird safe not workingOn first download, couldn’t hear any of the sounds in the song library. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app and can now hear the library sounds, but turning on bird safe mode doesn’t work - no sound can be heard when holding phone up to your ear and when turning bird safe mode off again, there is still no sound. I have to quit and go back in to hear library sounds again. What am I doing wrong? Will keep persevering, but a few too many glitches have made it more frustrating than fun so far..Babyface GVersion: 2.3.4

✓ Seems cool butWill not work-keeps crashing.Bea123435634Version: 1.2.2

✓ Misses the larkUnless I’m mistaken you can’t actually upload birdsong - which can be a nuisance when the app is busy loading. I did not feel the selection made by the app was accurate when I did get the recording. Good idea idea but looking forward tp further improvements..FeatherFluffVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Does not identify birdsNice idea but the app does not identify birds. Completely worthless..LdcornVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Not working for me at all!I have tried several times to record now when hearing both Chiffchaffs and Ravens but it hardly picks up the sounds even though I hear them loud and clear and there’s no wind or other background noise. I also know my mic works since I make regular phone calls. Wish I could refund the app, but don’t think that’s possible. Hopefully it works for other people..Anna and the RavensVersion: 2.2.0

✓ Great concept that I love, but.....The but is all about being able to record bird song without it auto analysing when out in the countryside. A setting that just permits sequels of short recordings which then can be analysed when you are back on 4G or WiFi would let me give it 4 stars. And save time. Five stars would come from wider birds and their songs already being resident within the app. Sparrow Hawk? Red Kite? Etc etc. Developers do your stuff, after all, I paid for this..DavidTUKVersion: 2.3.4

✓ No Bird SoundsWorked fine for the month I have had the app. Now when I analyse a bird song, the app no longer shows a list of potential birds for you play back the sound to identify which bird. I use an iPhone 6 so not sure if it has anything to do with this. Please look into this as this was something I enjoyed doing while out on my daily dog walks..BOGOFVersion: 2.3.5

✓ Very disappointingJust bought the app and immediately whistled a bird song i had been hearing outside - a tuneful 5-note song. I whistled it well 🙂 The app made a terrible set of suggestions (pigeons and woodpeckers) 😕 When i looked inside the app i can see it has a very limited database of birds so pretty disappointing....NewmaniamusicVersion: 2.3.5

✓ Didn’t work here in AustraliaA bit disappointed with the selection of birds offered as guesses. I think the database is limited for this area. Sounds offered didn’t get close to the one I submitted. App crashed a few times..Coffeeguy_auVersion: 2.0.2

✓ Doesn't workDon't know if it isn't narrowing by region or what the problem is, but I got a perfect capture of my bird song and it failed to identify the bird. After asking around and searching online, we ID'd the bird. The bird wasn't even in the list of possibilities listed in the app. For the record, it was a "Black-capped Chickadee". Avoid this app..MJF2010Version: 2.0.1

✓ Extremely basicI am so disappointed. Once you pay your £3.99 and download, you discover that the list of birds is minuscule and doesn’t even come close to achieving the diversity of species in Western Europe. This is basically completely useless to me, and if you have any sort of bird knowledge and are looking for a app to build that up, do not choose ChirpOMatic..BreadwinningsaverVersion: 2.5.0

✓ Rubbish!I’m sorry to say that in my experience this app is unreliable and comes out with rubbish. For instance, I used it to try and differentiate between a dunlin and a sandpiper, and it told me I was listening to an eagle owl!!! That’s just one example - I’ve listened to warblers and it’s given me one which is totally alien to the area I’m in … I could go on, but I have no time to waste on either the review or the app.Sparkler16Version: 3.4.3
