Collins Bird Guide

Of the 26 birding apps I have this is one of the best. It’s the most comprehensive and easy to use guide for Europe. The overview lets me home in on the bird group. Then it gets progressively more detailed. The species descriptions are good for field identification, the selection of audio recordings is excellent, the comparison with similar species handy and the range maps very informative. The illustrations are excellent with sufficient coverage of plumage by sex, age and morphs although thorough treatment is beyond the purpose of this field guide. The app works equally well on my iPhone and iPad. Thank you for such an excellent guide.

Crashes when clicking link to BWP app. Also disappointed that new release is added IAP.

Wish i had not upgraded!!

I have updated 3rd edition. It’s always crushed. Can check app? Thanks.

I really don’t like this app. Nothing ever comes up when I search on attributes.

The illustrations and text is fine but the app is almost unusable because the navigation and search function is poorly designed. They seem to want you to find species by scrolling through families in groups by photo. Sometimes searching for a species by name works and sometimes it doesn't. A simple taxonomic list would be easier.

Could you please support searching by the Other language name of bird ( thats already added in the flag icon ) ? Thanks for your great App 🌷🌷🦆🦆🐥🐥

Waste of money. Not user friendly. Only drawing no real pictures. I wish I can have my money back.

In North America I use the mobile app from Sibley, iBird Pro, and Audubon. My recent trip to Europe was not a birding; bird watching was incidental. Nevertheless, I needed a guide for those times when I encountered birds. In a brand new place and with new birds, the most fulfilling is to be able to ID on my own. The Collins Guide was excellent. The home page has groups or families of birds which makes it very easy to navigate to a groups, e.g. waders or finches, and then to scroll through the group and compare different, but similar species. I found this format far superior to any NA bird app. Species info could be expanded some, but I can’t imagine any other app format which makes it easier to find and identify new birds - the European birds were all new to me.

Thanx and thanx again to all the folks who made this app and keep all the improvements. No other try within this field could dare to compete. I wish you luck, dudes, keep on keeping on. Translate your app to as much languages as you can and add more and more features. Voices! Add more misc calls, voices, alarm calls, etc. As well as complete translations to all the languages you’ve covered for all the species names. If one day you’ll be ready for put all the texts localized — that’ll be definitely my day. Till then I just want to thank you at least for all the work you’ve done. Waiting for often updates.
