## BirdAlertPRO Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Dave"
Very good communication all sorted
-- Mrsmashabasha, 2024-05-14

### **--- "Very Buggy"
Had the App for a couple of weeks now. 
It’s ok when it works but was very difficult to set up initially. Kept telling me to log in when I already was. 
After reinstalling it I finally got it to work but it crashes almost every day. 
Sometimes I find it easier to just go online and pick up the news directly from the BirdAlert  website.
-- ColinKnocks, 2022-05-13

### **--- "Average reporting platform"
Good for the reports but that’s mostly on the birds/birders really… Incredibly buggy, and whole system seems very dated and plain… Gallery is hard to navigate.
-- Waxiesandwhitefronts, 2021-12-17

### **--- "Review"
Fairly good but I regularly have to reload as it crashes. For the money I am paying this glitch should be sorted I think. Sadly the same thing year after year.
-- Boreham Birder, 2021-05-29

### ***** "Best app for bird alerts"
One of the only apps I can find for bird alerts and so far so good 👍
-- Harrycog, 2020-05-08

### ***-- "Mostly good but crashes"
This is useful for receiving alerts but I find when I go to click on an alert the app crashes, every time. If you load a message from the general news but it’s find, but not from my alerts. 
(Phone software is fully up to date)
-- Goldcrest123, 2020-02-11

### *---- "Problem logging in"
I downloaded the app, but can’t log in without registering on the wen page. Where is that??  
Kind of pointless having an app that won’t allow registration. 
Deleted it.
-- PhillipAlanEvans, 2019-10-03

### ***** "Excellent"
Easily accessible news, comprehensive searches and alerts
-- Wxmansam, 2016-03-13

### *---- "No access"
I paid for a year's subscription. Been down on IOS9 for a month now, right through the best part of the autumn migration. No info regarding fix progress since 19th September.
-- Birdmart, 2015-10-18

### *---- "Won't open in iOS 9"
At least that is what I've found using an iPhone 5s. Hopefully a fix on the way!
-- john_l_uk, 2015-10-13

### ****- "Enjoy the app"
I'm not a big twitcher but this app is great for just checking out what's been seen where you are. Trip to Church Norton recently, checked app, Wryneck seen, half hour later I'd got a lifer. Very handy.
-- Scabbott, 2015-09-17

### ***** "Excellent App"
For many years, I've carried a RBA pager around with me, and still do. This app adds perfectly to the package, with easy access to the latest reports and excellent alert setting for your local area, similar to the pager. Would highly recommend this to any birder in the field.
-- The Netmender, 2015-03-21

### ***** "Top app"
Used to get phone messages, also had a pager before but prefer this app well thought out you can even get directions top app for birders
-- steve6900, 2014-11-28

### ***** "Bird pro"
Had a pager previously but this app is just what the doctor ordered easy to use and you get the messages that you need
-- Col green, 2014-10-29

### ****- "Spot on!"
The app is amazing for what it offers to the keen birder! However payment benefits are way too overpriced!
-- Feeling Faint, 2014-10-29

### ***** "Pro"
Excellent app. Site details and species details are very useful. Will still keep pager as orange and vodaphone combination seems to give 100% coverage.
-- IslayRhinnes, 2014-10-17

### ****- "Just the job"
I approached RBA about such an app some while ago, before it was in the pipeline I suspect, so was hugely hopeful when I found out this was to be released.
First the service, I have been an RBA service user for 20 years and they are second to none, news is more reliable than all the competition, though obviously not perfect, far fewer errors slip through, undoubtedly due to the expertise of the team.
Second the techie bit, does exactly what I want, gives me the news as I require, the filtering is superb and I can get alerts for all the species and areas I am interested in as well as all the national news.
The maps and directions are very useful, the news and species search facilities are great. Photos too are top class.
It is more economical than my pager, which is a real advantage in these cash strapped times.
Downsides: slightly slower than the pager service but not too much so, sometimes messages do not want to load due to server errors, a pain but again does not normally last too long, relies on phone signal which can be patchy in some areas but this is also a positive as the messages will always get delivered eventually unlike missed pager messages.
On balance I am very happy with the app, with continued phone development (4G) it can only get better.
Buy it!
-- Abirder, 2014-09-23

### ***** "Well designed, easy to use App"
Would definitely recommend.
-- 63(5337)(4;, 2014-09-19

### ***** "Great app"
Excellent app and very reasonably priced subscription gives you everything except the push alerts, which is fine by me. Comprehensive and flexible search features and up to the minute news... Plus a great gallery. What more could you ask for!
-- ndsmart, 2014-08-18

### ***** "Great app"
Perfect for all birders, just to check your area or to go chasing that rare.
-- Mikebirdbird, 2014-08-16
