Record a bird singing and use Automatic Recognition to help identify it. Unlike all other apps, no internet or mobile connection is needed. • The Times Newspaper said the app "Does what it says on the tin" and were amazed that "this astonishing piece of software costs about the same as a cup of coffee". • "In direct comparison Bird Song Id showed better results than Chirpomatic". - naturschutz.ch - Swiss Birding Magazine Copied by a few, bettered by none, Bird Song Id is three years ahead of anyone else in this field ! • The Telegraph Newspaper said "Bird Song Id is a good walk improved, and may even put a spring in your step". • over 1000 good ratings Automatic Recognition takes place on the device, no connection to the internet or mobile network is needed. Automatic Recognition needs good quality recordings to work. See the HELP below, or follow the Developer Website link to find out how to improve your recordings. Automatic Recognition will help identify a good cross section of bird song in the British Isles, but you will need a good quality recording. Lots of blue and green peaks reaching to the top of the analysis graph is a good indication of a quality recording. Help and examples are included in the app to guide you. How successful is it ? Our aim is to get the correct bird in the top three of those listed. In our testing of over 1,000 samples we found the success rate to be 85%. Follow the Developer Website link to see a demo of Automatic Recognition on YouTube --------------- HELP ---------------- Automatic Recognition needs a good quality recording of the bird. ------------- Only record when a single bird is singing, or when a single bird is dominant ------------- The analysis graph should have plenty of blue and green colors with few or no black peaks. ------------- The peaks on the graph should reach all the way to the top. Low peaks indicate poor quality and recognition is unlikely. ------------- The Audio Quality, shown at the top of the results screen, should be at least Good, and preferably Very Good or Excellent ------------- The highest score should be above 70% to be useful. Below this and the system is telling you it is not sure what the song is. ------------- A difference between two birds of less than 10% is not that significant, so listen to the samples from both to help you further ------------- See the samples for how the analysis graph should look (to see the samples press the sample button at the top right of the help page) ------------- Make sure it is very quiet apart from the bird song which should be nice and loud ------------- Be as close to the bird as you can be without disturbing it ------------- Be patient, dont expect miracles, the system works but needs good clear recordings ------------- The microphone is at the bottom of an iPhone, point the bottom of the phone towards the bird ------------- Remove the case from your iPhone if you use one as this can dampen the microphone ------------- Record a single bird at a time ------------- Capture at least two singing episodes if you can. ------------- Record for the full 30 seconds ------------- Avoid windy conditions. Air moving over the microphone will mask the bird sounds ------------- Make sure there is plenty of life in the battery. Your device will reduce power going to the microphone as the battery runs down ------------- Playing songs to the app from recorded material on the internet, other apps or CDs is unlikely to work as this material is digitally processed and edited (inter phase gaps are often shortened). They sound very different to recording birds for real on an iPhone or iPad in the natural environment. Its a bit like putting rocket fuel in a lawn mower. ------------- ## Bird Song Id UK Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/5c/63/27/5c63277e-7b20-e22d-524c-c86f73f4e5f6/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/14/d5/76/14d576fb-dd8b-8f27-ba5f-829240aca8d2/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/e1/4c/74/e14c747f-dc63-cd56-1406-afd4b4685b2b/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/30/74/ca/3074caeb-35fe-66c5-fd89-aa8adf2c116d/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/bf/24/4b/bf244baf-8957-e462-49e3-f50c846a59b7/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/4b/c0/f8/4bc0f8b0-6e61-61c8-b5f5-1bb34849db6e/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/e2/7e/9c/e27e9c12-9eb9-9685-d8a8-c7122be37c27/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/11/96/b0/1196b059-87d8-cd74-fec9-e77b62a1208a/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/a1/76/6e/a1766eac-dbb6-d0b2-74c8-83f2cffffd9f/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 10](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/09/a9/32/09a932be-1e71-75fb-c1ed-e4eadb7d74a8/pr_source.jpg/1242x2688.png) ## Bird Song Id UK Rating Breakdown in United Kingdom - 5 stars: 384 (52%) - 4 stars: 232 (31%) - 3 stars: 25 (3%) - 2 stars: 16 (2%) - 1 stars: 83 (11%) ## Bird Song Id UK Reviews in United Kingdom ### **--- "Insuffienct" Doesn’t appear to have the range of British birds. -- Bird Somme, 2023-06-01 ### **--- "Useless on an iPhone" If you were expecting to identify an unseen bird vocalising close by, on an iPhone, forget it! Time and time again it produces ridiculous matches. If you have a fair idea of what the bird is, it’s a useful reference tool, but there are better and cheaper alternatives. A waste of money. -- mmmmm a name, 2022-06-15 ### **--- "Less is not more, poor app." Not enough bird calls on this app, many British Birds missing. Get a different app. -- Kencaver, 2022-02-22 ### *---- "Not fit for purpose" I think the birds would need to be trained to stand in front of a microphone in a professional recording studio and have a few training sessions to make it on to a short list of three possibilities. -- Rubbishy rubbish, 2021-09-06 ### *---- "Very Poor" Very disappointed with this. Very rarely seems to identify birds correctly. I recently tried this app whilst very close to a Cuckoo which was very clear with no other bird song evident and got a ridiculous range of birds (the top match came up as a Wren ! Don’t bother with this app. -- Ollypop53, 2021-05-29 ### *---- "Disappointed" Very limited number of birds and information way out of date, for example the distribution of the red kite. Likes to call all marshland song as Mallard when there were none in sight! -- 65 year old birder, 2021-05-28 ### *---- "Hopeless" Every recording I make returns the same list of results. The top hit every time is a ring necked parakeet. I live in the Wiltshire countryside. I can’t think of many birds that I’m less likely to see. Unless I’m doing something wrong I wouldn’t waste your money. -- Paul Timlett, 2021-05-17 ### *---- "Only once has this worked" I frequently stop to record a clear bird song and it has only once ID’d the bird. It normally comes up with a huge list of birds that sound nothing like the call I can hear. Needs to improve its artificial intelligence -- Ts3bears, 2021-05-10 ### *---- "Poor" I’ve not been able to get a proper identification out of this app yet. It seems to like ring necked parakeets for some reason which makes this very unreliable. I’ve only been using it for a week or so and I will persevere with for a while longer and then assess it again. I’m not expecting much improvement though! Don’t waste you money on this one. -- GOM42, 2021-04-15 ### *---- "Birdsong ID" It’s all very well updating this App, but I have IS12, and my IPhone 5 won’t stretch to 13, so I have lost the app I paid for. I am not happy! -- donot want a nickname, 2021-03-05 ### *---- "Garbage." So vague where this apps answers that I tested it on a very loud and obvious magpie. It didn’t identify it once. -- M1a2010, 2021-03-04 ### *---- "Is it even a bird?" The closest this app has come to identifying what a recording has in common with a bird is anything that has feathers. Hopeless and frustrating. -- 11730alph, 2021-03-03 ### **--- "Helps to identify birds when I’m out dog walking" I had the old version and it was so much better. Maybe I’m using this one incorrectly but the old one had a great identifier function whereby you could choose various features of the song you heard eg high pitch, melodious and the app would give you suggestions as to what it could be. This version just gives you a frustrating quiz with no information as to what song might sound like. Also when you do a recording it gives suggestions but you can’t listen to the song/call without a great deal of trial and error and faffing. I am thinking of getting a different app 😕 ore than one -- KeenGermanist, 2021-02-17 ### *---- "Doesn’t work" I agree with a previous review, I doubt all these 5* reviews. Clear audio of a distinctive bird song and the app is giving be a long list of birds it could be that sound absolutely nothing like it... usually the same list of birds every time... minimal narrowing down. The instructions for getting a good enough audio sample for the app are nigh on impossible, getting that close to the bird and only having 1 bird singing at once for a full 30s sample... pretty gutted I paid anything for this. Waste of money. -- SG8812, 2021-01-24 ### *---- "Useless" Dont be taken in by good reviews. This app is just plain bad -- vbghtrevcgfdxpolkm, 2021-01-16 ### ***-- "Not convinced" I have tried this a lot in my garden and it does pick up what you would expect to be hearing but also some that are just implausible - we are in Surrey yet it frequently suggests coastal wading birds. Also, when I have found myself under a tree trying to identify something I don’t recognise, it just gives the same list and I’m sure everything isn’t a blackbird... -- Singlereed, 2020-07-20 ### *---- "Miss disappointed" This just doesnt work! The results it provides after each recording is just a list of all the birds with varying percentages. Its like saying today will be sunny, windy rainy and snow and that way they are not wrong! -- spooky luky, 2020-06-30 ### *---- "Useless" I personally have found this app a waste of money and would request a refund if possible! I wanted to know if a bird I could see was a swallow, swift or house Martin.... it was the only bird singing at this time..... the app said ring necked parakeet and none of the above were mentioned!!!!! I have better things to do with my time .... high expectations.... low performance -- deblanuk, 2020-06-24 ### ****- "Great." Bloody good for identification. Only criticism is that the noise you are recording must be prominent as it struggles to define one song amongst others. Otherwise very good. -- duffcogardens, 2020-06-03 ### *---- "Doesn’t work" I have apple se. I’ve downloaded twice. Makes recordings and I’ve followed guidance. Thinks all birds are collared doves or parakeet or some other nonsense when clearly they were skylarks or chaffinch or blackbird. Very disappointed. It deserves no stars. Not possible. Going to delete. -- helmsdp, 2020-05-30 [View all Bird Song Id UK reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Bird Song Id UK Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Ireland | Reference | #6 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Reference | #12 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Reference | #25 | | Top Paid | Czechia | Reference | #26 | | Top Paid | Finland | Reference | #34 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Reference | #40 | | Top Paid | Norway | Reference | #42 | | Top Paid | Poland | Reference | #48 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Reference | #48 | | Top Paid | Denmark | Reference | #49 | | Top Paid | Romania | Reference | #68 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Reference | #78 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Reference | #87 | | Top Paid | France | Reference | #92 | | Top Paid | Spain | Reference | #114 | | Top Paid | Peru | Reference | #144 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | Reference | #177 | | Top Paid | Russia | Reference | #186 | | Top Paid | India | Reference | #187 | | Top Paid | Greece | Reference | #187 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Reference | #227 | | Top Paid | Brazil | Reference | #230 | | Top Paid | Italy | Reference | #244 | | Top Paid | Ukraine | Reference | #266 | | Top Paid | Canada | Reference | #267 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Reference | #292 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Reference | #302 | | Top Paid | Israel | Reference | #303 | | Top Paid | Germany | Reference | #306 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Overall | #310 | | Top Paid | Chile | Reference | #320 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | Reference | #321 | | Top Paid | Austria | Reference | #327 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Reference | #334 | | Top Paid | Australia | Reference | #361 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Overall | #361 | | Top Paid | Thailand | Reference | #408 | | Top Paid | Saudi Arabia | Reference | #450 | | Top Paid | Singapore | Reference | #452 | | Top Paid | United States | Reference | #492 | ## Bird Song Id UK Discovered Keywords -
