FAKE APP
I did it 3 times and it told me it was a different bird each time, *but It was the same bird
Hard to cancel
I signed up by accident and this app does not have an easy way to cancel.
***You Gotta Pay***
They give you a 7 day free trial but then afterwards you gotta pay. They could have easily made it free by us watching promotion videos or something. You know to help those that are enjoying birds because of medical reasons & can’t even afford basic thing let alone an app. Smh FYI for those that are looking for a free app.
Avoid
Subscription only. Avoid

Bad answers

Never touch this app it is making me pay for a bird app
LieR ~ not🆓

Almost
App consistently lists birds that aren’t even in the right hemisphere very discouraging when you only have seconds to catch a bird song sometimes
This is a cool app that’s very good at listening and identifying different species.
This was extremely fun when it identified several calls of birds we weren’t aware they were around here. Great customer service as well

Terrible
Only gives Latin name for chickens doesn’t identify specific breeds. This app is useless
Lousy!
I followed all the instructions too s, took photo and got a ridiculous identification! Avoid using this site!
Bad identification
This app is not identifying even the most basic of birds it does not work for me and I need to have a refund
Disappointed
I was told two different bird calls were from birds located in the South Pacific and Thailand. I was in Michigan, United States. Hopefully others have better luck.
Bad & annoying
Does not identify a loud prominent call. Cannot find unsubscribe button.
40 bucks ?
Another app that wants you credit card info first just to try it. No thanks.
App doesn’t work.
Just stays on a blank white screen. Never loads for me.
False advertising for Chicken Breeds.
I purchased this to identify a specific rooster as it was advertised on FB to be able to do so. It told me it was a Gallous Gallous Domesticus. When I looked up the meaning is said domestic chicken. Not worth it when it comes to chicken breeds.
Phooey
This app does not allow to upload a video from my phone without adding another app. Then it doesn’t give an option to cancel trial membership.
Wrong identification
Please return my money.
App said FREE. It is not FREE
This is NOT a FREE bird identification app. It is a Subscription

Expensive

Not good for Southeastern USA where I live.
This app does not even have our Florida State Bird!
