5/5Great App
I'm new to birding and I travel alot. Didnt want to have to travel with a large field guide. My friends who are experienced Birders love it too now. We go birding together and this App has helped us tremendously in identifying the birds on sight. It's invaluable. Keeps track of which birds you've seen and you can add notes as to where, etc. The pictures are clear, beautiful and so easy to use. Many pictures have both the male and female counterparts. Don't know what I'd do without the App.

4/5Great app!
Wonderful app especially if you are traveling in Panama. The filters and such are very helpful in identifying different birds and I love being able to mark when and where you spotted them. Overall great in my book.

4/5Really Helpful
I used this on a recent birding trip to Panama and it was a great supplement. Having the calls handy and being able to search by name or family was so useful. The only two problems were: 1) when I searched by family and chose a bird, then clicked on "similar" I couldn't then get back to family without starting over. 2) occasionally it got "stuck" in a category (like birds with "blue" in the name or something and the only way to get out of that list was to turn off my phone. Grateful to have had it!

Is this nickname chosen, too? · 6 Aug 2026
1/5READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY
I moved to panama recently and wanted to have a field guide to give me info on the birds I may encounter while I live here. I excitedly bought this app and figured for 15 bucks it had to be great...what a mistake. This app only has a small amount of honestly useless features and it gives you zero info on the birds it contains. It doesn't include one iota of information on the birds themselves, their habits, range, diet, nothing. It also only contains some of the birds we have here. Not all of them. Then to make matters worse I'd say about 25% of the birds this app contains don't even include a photo! Junk app. Please update it or something. Until they do don't waster your money. Hope this helps.

5/5Helpful photos and vocalizations
I’ve loved my Costa Rica Birds app so I was excited to see this Panama Birds app from the SAME team! This app is a great companion to my printed field guide “The Birds of Panama” by G. Angehr and R. Dean for learning the 900+ species. I find these apps (Panama and Costa Rica) extraordinarily helpful when trying to learn a few bird calls before a trip or for use during a trip for quiet comparison (never loud, never disturbing the birds) while in the field.
