Need a update for new species!

Hurry

App Not Working

I purchased the app through their website, using PayPal to pay with my credit card. My purchase is not recognized on the app, I have sent 3 email requests for assistance and completed all the help suggestions found online. Nothing is working and my requests for assistance are ignored, including a request for a refund for a product that I cannot access.

Birdseye en Évolution

Un bon outil qui gagne à être connu.

I still love it!

The app works even better since a few months with faster update of recent sightings. The only problem is when you click to the map view of a species it is not all the reports that are displayed when you compare to eBird data. Keep you your good work Gilbert Bouchard

Very good app.

Usefull application about birds

Not a good option!

I made the mistake of purchasing the world membership for 1 year as we are travelling for the next year but the app is awful. It is not user friendly at all; once you purchase a membership you need to download the info to have offline (as expected) but the file is HUGE - it takes HOURS to download and even then when I would try to use it; the app would tell me it needs to download more. On a solid wifi connect I let it download for 3hrs and it still wasn’t complete. I am disappointed I wasted the money for the year membership and wish I could get my purchase back, especially since I will be deleting the app.

My favourite app but could do more

Despite being my most expensive app, it is also my favourite. I use it on trips all over the world and it helps to know what is around, to target and find species I have never seen and to make identifications by narrowing the options and showing images. It is also a great tool for just getting into interesting areas of high diversity - more useful than hotspots as it can more quickly indicate the habitats and specialties for a site. IMO, there is one addition that would make this app so much better and give it 5 stars. I would like to be able to access data for one month as is now available or to access all available data for the given area being sampled. Many places I visit have little eBird activity and being able to tap the database for all records would vastly improve the bird finding potential of the app. I find I have to search the eBird website for taxa of interest when I am in sparsely birded areas and this is tedious and defeats the purpose of BirdsEye. If this is an issue with server time and app performance, it could be limited to a certain number of records (a threshold could be set where it won’t pick up all data if this is limiting). However, being able to toggle this on and off would be amazing. Users would be aware that searches are slower if searching the entire database and likely use this sparingly.

Can't download offline content - Horrible App

This app is a nice idea but downloads for offline content take forever (hours) and even if you go through the process and finally get everything, you'll have to do it more than once. You'll be out in the field looking something up and suddenly be directed back to the membership page to download it AGAIN. Awful execution, developers, not worth your time or money.

Limited

This app has potential with some great features, but the bird list is so limited it’s not very useful in North America. I could not find in the app common birds like the black-capped chickadee, mourning dove, cedar waxwing, and others. Perhaps the paid version gives access to more birds, but the free version is simply not worth it when so many birds are missing.
