★★★★ TooFLYBeatz 5/4/2026 v2.9.32

★★★★ angela prosser 5/1/2026
do not download, I downloaded for 7 day free trial, cancelled after 5 days and they have taken a years subscription and will not refund. It isn't accurate anyway! Now have a free app which appears to be better. Why have you charged me for something I deleted after 5 days? Misleading and dishonest - I would rather spend the money on bird food. :(. I cancelled it 48hrs before!!!
★★★★ Deborah Lacroix 4/27/2026 v2.9.32
just tried it and said it was a great owl and another bird. which was nrither
★★★★ DJ Jesse James (Tha Peoples DJ) 4/25/2026
sell advertisements cause I'm not paying money to use a app
★★★★ Nat Conner 4/24/2026 v2.9.32
want to cancel can't work it
★★★★ Catherine Fish 4/20/2026 v2.9.32
Did not give me a free trial, just took money out for a year which is seemingly impossible to get back. And it's not accurate as it didn't recognise a blackbird or Robin that were there.
★★★★ A I 4/8/2026 v2.9.32
I've got an account and I can't log in, if someone who can help me would reply I'd appreciate it! Give me an email address
★★★★ Kt Johnson 4/2/2026 v2.9.32
I signed up for a 7 day FREE trial, to try out the app before investing any money into it. I was immediately charged for a full year the same day I agreed to the free trial. My bank then charged me a $35 overdraft fee, so I've now been charged approx. $65 total to try this app one time. Boooooo : (
★★★★ James Taggart 3/13/2026 v2.9.32
The sound ID kept telling me everything was either a great horned owl or a crow. Neither of which sound anything like the bird I recorded.
★★★★ Ohluja 3/13/2026
Tried it once, it wouldn't even take a picture. I think the bird might have been to far away for the app to properly register it, but how am I supposed to get closer to a bird without scaring it away? Got recommended a better app.
★★★★ Audra Mayher 3/12/2026 v2.9.32
Not free to use
★★★★ Stephen Dudka 3/8/2026 v2.9.32
only free for 7 days
★★★★ Katie Lou 2/23/2026 v2.9.32
should be a free app throughout not a free trial
★★★★ Fleur Winger 2/11/2026 v2.9.32
Be careful with this app. They will charge you for a full year as soon as the free trial is over and refuse to refund.
★★★★ Susan Frieswyk 1/28/2026 v2.9.26
Subscription required and an incorrect identification to boot.
★★★★ Siyabonga Ngubane 1/15/2026 v2.9.32
it's useless
★★★★ Daniel Greer 1/9/2026
Don't be fooled, it says in-app purchases, which is technically true but it's a monthly subscription just to use the app
★★★★ Ansa 12/17/2025 v2.9.32
I initially signed up for the 7day free trial, but the full annual subscription fee was deducted from my account immediately. and then when I entered my first sound, I was given several bird options, none of which were correct. I now have a year-long subscription to an app that doesn’t even work, which is extremely disappointing.
★★★★ Sam Ayers 11/22/2025
Say that it's a free trial in the description!
★★★★ Nancy Gottlieb 11/13/2025
cooped download.
★★★★ Erin Skinner 11/6/2025
If I could rate this in the negatives I would. Tried the free trial but changed my mind and wanted to cancel. The trial/subscription wasn't in either my order history or my subscriptions. Reached out to the app and they confirmed there was no subscription or trial so no charge. Couple days later they charged my card. Still nothing in my subscriptions or my history. No other way to contact the app and no way to go through Google Play. Had to do a stop payment and now need a new card. BEWARE.
★★★★ João Alvaro Nunes 10/12/2025 v2.9.32
paid app
★★★★ Bonnie Merrill 10/4/2025 v2.9.32
This app and/or the missing phone app, or the the animal sounds/ringtones app may have been malware or whichever, but was unable to uninstall traditionally & it changed all of my Themes, Icons, some Existing Apps also unable to uninstall, among other things.
★★★★ C C 10/4/2025
As soon as I saw that they're looking for you to pay for a subscription I uninstalled it immediately...cya
★★★★ Tom Stonehunter 9/12/2025
This is a Pay to play app, limited trial period.
★★★★★ Brittani Carroll 5/7/2026
very cool app but pricey
★★★★★ Richard McGuire 3/23/2026 v2.9.32
I only had a chance to try it a couple times before the trial subscription ended. We had sun and birds for a few days, but then it got cold and most birds disappeared. It successfully identified two VERY common birds -- California Quail and Redwing Blackbird. It did not pick up some of the other birds also in the area. Hopefully the publishers will consider a one-month trial, or they'll release a limited free version with an option to upgrade to a paid full version.
★★★★★ Ranada “RannyBlue” 11/5/2025
too simple
