Description
ChirpOMatic is Europe’s top-selling bird identification app. It helps you identify European birds quickly and easily, from the squeak of the tiny Goldcrest to the Crane's loud trumpeting.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Record the bird song or call using your iPhone or iPad.
2. ChirpOMatic analyzes the audio to identify the bird species based on its unique vocalizations.
3. The app gives the name of the bird, or birds.
4. In the case of poorer recordings, the app provides a short list of the most probable birds, ranked according to the likelihood of a correct identification.
5. Access additional information about the identified bird species, including brief descriptions of their song, and details of special features to listen out for.
6. Your recordings are stored on your phone along with the date and location − a great way to listen and remember the moment. Recordings can be shared using AirDrop, WhatsApp, messages or email.

Gave Up!
I really wanted this to work as it is easy to use, only trouble is it gave me more or less the same three birds each time, no matter what I was recording. An owl, a dove and a cuckoo or a robin! I live in the country and have a lot of bird song, and am familiar with a lot of it, and a lot I need to identify. I do know what I am listening to is not any of the above! Shame but not fit for purpose sadly.
Problems with iPhone
Worked fine until the winter. As I hadn’t used the app for a while it disappeared into the cloud. Upon reinstalling it simply didn’t work - eventually I realised that the “recordings” were silent. The permissions had changed so there was no permission for the microphone, but the app never suggested that. Surely microphone access should be flagged? It went through the motions of “recording” and “checking”, and the troubleshooting just said I was holding the phone wrong or to switch to the bottom Mike. UPDATE Sorry developer - you are wrong - if you go to settings and turn off microphone permissions then try to use the app it will look as if there is nothing wrong, “record” a silent recording then tell you it is a lesser spotted woodpecker, skylark or lapwing. In my case the microphone permissions has disappeared without me doing it. There is nothing wrong with my microphone and I did try troubleshooting. The app needs to warn you if it cannot access the microphone. When you restore permissions it works fine, and I know now to check, but it shouldn’t be a possible scenario.
Identification
This helps me so much as a person with hearing impairment to categorise so many different calls at the same time . Wonderful.
Rubbish
This app is hilarious - every bird is a bittern - it never got even the obvious ones right! Don’t waste your money unless you really need some bewildered laughter in your life
Great app
It’s really enjoyed using this app, walking round an arboretum. It really increased our awareness of the variety of birds that were present and in doing so added to our enjoyment of the place. Look forward to using it many more times.
The best app I’ve ever bought
Downloaded this following a recommendation by Adam Buxton on his podcast a few years back. Absolutely no regrets as it does exactly what is expected. I’m not a birder but love to know more about the nature around me. Worth every single penny!
Worth every penny
Best app on my phone - the joy it brings me is priceless. It’s also very accurate. I never write reviews but this app deserves a round of applause!!
Rubbish!
I’m sorry to say that in my experience this app is unreliable and comes out with rubbish. For instance, I used it to try and differentiate between a dunlin and a sandpiper, and it told me I was listening to an eagle owl!!! That’s just one example - I’ve listened to warblers and it’s given me one which is totally alien to the area I’m in … I could go on, but I have no time to waste on either the review or the app
Works every time 👍
Great addition to family walks
