App use to be amazing but requires a monthly membership now. Spend your money on a bird app that is a one time fee and not a membership.
I was really excited to get this app. I got a subscription on their site but it’s never transferred or whatever. I’ve emailed several times from the website and support in the app and haven’t heard back. If I could just get that sorted, I’d be one happy camper….will update review if we ever get this sorted. It’s been over two weeks at this point :-/
I’ve used this app since before the eBird app came out. I still find it essential for searching eBird observations that are county-specific and rare & notable observations throughout a large area. The eBird app only allows a 30-mile radius so it’s frustrating when you are planning a road trip and you’re not within 30 miles of your destination. Also, BirdsEye shows checklist comments which is essential for access and specific location of target birds. The app has been quite slow to load in the last few months but still works if you are patient. In short, this is a very useful app that i hope will continue b being updated and improved and i plan to keep using.
Every third or fourth time I open the app ( paid version) it needs to update. Not helpful when you’re in the field waiting for this to complete
Last update was over 3 years ago, and it shows. The app is buggy, not accurate, looks dated, and costs too much when you take into account it has been this long between updates. The eBird app does MOST of what this app does for FREE…and does those things correctly. After using it for a bit, I find this app’s workflows to be very unintuitive. And there are way too many un-ending spinners. It seems to always want to download sightings, rather than simply updating them…and this process takes a minute or two every few times you open the app. For $60/year, I need to see the developer cares about the app with regular updates and customer support responses rather than just sitting back and collecting royalties.
I need to the app, as I am to birding, in the last year. I generally like the app and have found it useful, but it can be frustrating to use, especially when it forgets that I’ve already purchased packages. If, as Danny Sloan right in his review two years ago, a few photographers are manipulating the rating so that possibly better photographs than their own are used for certain birds, this is a problem. Is also a problem if the developer is unresponsive to help requests, as some reviewers complain. I have not tested this, but, as it has been my experience with many apps, I find the reviews that mention this to me credible. Lastly, if the app is not regularly updated as it should be to be kept current, that’s really unacceptable for a paid app.
I really enjoy the App. It has helped me find birds I wouldn’t have without it. It was especially helpful in planning trips - until the “Browse By Location” stopped being updated about a month ago. I really used that function a lot. I hope it is fixed soon.
This app doesn’t do anything. It just keeps spinning the gear cog wheel
This app is a useful tool for bird funding but is badly out of date. It does not include eBird taxonomy updates and doesn't seem to properly sync with my eBird life list. Questions posted to their support forum go unanswered. I know this is not a big moneymaker but if they're charging $20/year they should make periodic updates.
