5/5Excellent. Best for Europe
Of the 26 birding apps I have this is one of the best. It’s the most comprehensive and easy to use guide for Europe. The overview lets me home in on the bird group. Then it gets progressively more detailed. The species descriptions are good for field identification, the selection of audio recordings is excellent, the comparison with similar species handy and the range maps very informative. The illustrations are excellent with sufficient coverage of plumage by sex, age and morphs although thorough treatment is beyond the purpose of this field guide. The app works equally well on my iPhone and iPad. Thank you for such an excellent guide.

5/5New standard for bird apps
Purchased the Collins Bird Guide based on the reputation of the Collins book. I am traveling to Europe and wanted an easy but thorough guide for my bird observations. This app is intuitive and engrossing. The birds are displayed in visual diagrams with the ability to drill down to the bird you are observing. When the user identifies the bird, distribution maps, diagrams, sound recordings and similar birds are displayed. Very easy to use. There is a comparison section I'm finding useful before traveling as it allows me to study differences in similar species before heading overseas. I have not used this in the field yet but am enjoying playing with the format and learning a bit about the birds.

4/5North America NOT
No where is it mentioned that all the location features are for Europe only. I'll give it a go living in the US, but not ideal. Seems pretty powerful. The drawings are super detailed and clear with a lot of supporting information. Not sure how conclusive my findings will be, but excited to try it out. Nice introductory guide to get started and the intuitiveness of the app takes it from there. Fun to track/record bird sightings within the app.

2/5DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
I think the good reviews were seeded here when the app was first released. This is a pretty app, but the interface is sparse (as in it doesn't have many features) and the search engine is useless--you can choose a variety of criteria but it's not clear that what then appears is a subset or just an entire section (e.g. "Raptors") repeated without other criteria applied. The descriptions are thorough and the drawings are nice. But there is no indication of names other than the English bird book one and the Latin name. No hope for those of us in non-English-speaking countries who want to use a bird book in English, but need to search based on what locals call a bird. Look at the version history. I'd hoped, unreasonably, that it had been such a great app when it came out that it hadn't needed an update. Wrong. It needs attention and hasn't gotten it. Compare the version history to iBird Pro (North America) and you'll see what a living app's history should look like. I really wish I could get my money back. Within 5 minutes of not being able to figure out how I'd use it productively (i.e. as a field guide, not to memorize birds), I knew I'd wasted my money. And I still need a Swiss or Europe field guide app!

5/5Definitely most comprehensive birding apps
Thanx and thanx again to all the folks who made this app and keep all the improvements. No other try within this field could dare to compete. I wish you luck, dudes, keep on keeping on. Translate your app to as much languages as you can and add more and more features. Voices! Add more misc calls, voices, alarm calls, etc. As well as complete translations to all the languages you’ve covered for all the species names. If one day you’ll be ready for put all the texts localized — that’ll be definitely my day. Till then I just want to thank you at least for all the work you’ve done. Waiting for often updates.
