Fantastic bird id app. The videos and commentary are very helpful, for experienced birders and beginner - nobody knows all the field marks to look for, great to have them pointed out! Sometimes I just look at the photos to refresh my memory.

I love it

Updating my earlier review. Reloaded the app after listening to the encore interview with Jerry on the ABA podcast. Now, with Android 12, app works great. Very pleased. [Probably a good app, but, 1) video doesn't work with Android 8.1, and 2) developers won't respond to help requests. Save your money...]

The content is 5 stars but the poor use of Android interface (e.g. back button exit) is 1 star. You *really* need to fix the UI issues

Very useful ID guide for the birds of prey of North America. Though if you are birding further south, you'll need another guide to identify neotropical raptors, since they are not included here.

Good for identifying raptors in the lower 48
