Ecuador app
Just started but seems very easy to search and has great detailed information.
Description
*** Planning to go bird watching in Ecuador? Then this is the app for you. This app fills a gap in the region and is the only app available for Ecuador! It is based on renowned reference work of the Helm Guide Series "Birds of Northern South America" by Robin Restall, Clemencia Rodner, and Miguel Lentino. The creation of apps from the book is a co-production between Bloomsbury Plc and Sunbird Images. The app contains 5,000 illustrations and more than 3,000 bird songs and calls in total.

Ecuador is a prime birding spot and a country of extremes. It covers altitudes between coastal regions up to heights of more than 6,000 m and habitats that include coasts with beaches, Desert Woodland and Arid Scrub, Páramo, Temperate as well as Subtropical Montane Forest (Cloud Forest/ Elfin Woodland), the Amazon Rainforest in particular, Swamps and Mangroves. Ecuador has the largest biodiversity per square kilometre in the world, with an unlimited number of possibilities for birding.
Choose between 6 bird name languages:
English, Latin, Spanish, French, Dutch, German
Narrow species down by foot colour, bill shape, tail length etc. leading to the bird searched for plus a choice of similar species. You can also look for fragments of a species name – the search for “finch“ shows all the species which include the word “finch“ in the species’ name.
***A graphically well-designed layout – easy to use with large lettering.***

Nice addition to my other Ecuadorian field guides
I can use this app in the field for a broader catalogue of calls/songs than just Merlín. It’s also a good quick reference (easy to use and easy to find the bird you’re looking for).
Nebirds!
This app is great and has been super helpful while traveling all through out Ecuador and Colombia!
Great layout!
I haven’t taken the app into the field yet, but my first impression is very favorable. It is laid out in a way that is very easy to use, and the sound recordings are a valuable feature that you can’t get in a printed field guide. The checklist feature is really nice too.
Beats Carrying a Book
Illustrations and audio are good and the comparison feature is isn’t as good as Audubon’s but it’s nice enough. Very lacking on adding your observations unless you do it right in the field, which is often impractical. You have to go into the map application each and every time you want to add a bird to a list. Once you start a list, why not have a feature to add a sighting to it with the same date and location? Otherwise, what’s the point of giving a list a title? I obviously won’t be using it to keep track of my sightings on my upcoming trip, which was the main reason I forked over $25 for it - but it beats lugging a field guide around.
Excellent app for Ecuador
Heading to Ecuador in a few weeks and wanted an app to bring along in the field instead of lugging a book around. The app is very well organized and easy to navigate.
Great bird guide app!
I am using this app to study Ecuador birds for an upcoming trip. The app is user-friendly and contains great features that a book simply can’t do as well: (1) learn bird calls and songs, (2) manually select a few birds to provide quick side-by-side comparisons, and (3) for each bird, use the “similar” button to switch to the side-by-side comparisons with pre-selected similar species that I may have overlooked. The app uses great images from its companion field guides, complete with ID pointers. In addition, the app includes map views that extend beyond the specific country to help learn bird ranges in context, beyond such political boundaries. Finally, the app includes text on bird ID field marks, habits, likely habitat, and other notes including taxonomy details (because taxonomy is ever-evolving with new DNA approaches etc.). P.S.: the app includes an “identify” search engine and a sightings entry tool which I haven’t used yet. Don’t forget to check the “About” section which includes great information.
Upcoming Trip
I purchased this app to prepare for an upcoming trip. The app is well organized and easy to navigate. The sounds are extensive. Now it time to study!
As good as it gets
I use this app as a tool for learning the birds by ear. I used their Trinidad and Tobago app before my trip to Ada Wright and significantly increased my ability to identify birds while there. I expect the same in Ecuador.
First impression is very promising
Just downloaded the app, and it looks aesthetically pleasing as soon as you open it. The groupings are very helpful and as you drill down, the flow appears to be logical and as you’d expect. Can’t wait to put it to use next week when in Ecuador
