★★★★ Tim Kenna 6/27/2026 v3.12.1
completely tragic why this app is actually allowed to go on the store. beyond a shadow of a doubt, relies on location and time of day to throw bird species at you. it can list the same sound as different species and misidentified juvenile squirrel as a j based on your location and for no reason not making profit just damaging the environment
★★★★ Stephen Nickerson 6/27/2026 v3.12.1
App doesn't work. Will not identify birds without location and will not allow the setting of the location.
