GoBird - Guide to Nearby Birds

Great Pictures & more. Highly recommend.

Great app! It’s hard to pin point a location where the bird was seen on the map. Is there symbols or instructions available to review?

I can’t really rate the contents of this app because it doesn’t show me anything! The app can’t seem to establish my location on my home WiFi, so I get nothing but a white screen. There are no settings (that I could find) to manually enter a location. Unless there is a way to manually enter my location, I will be deleting this app unfortunately.

Great app - I’ve used it frequently when I’m in a unfamiliar area and have some time to bird!

Not that it ever went away but I was becoming concerned that this app had entered the abandonverse. Thankfully that’s not happening with this new update. This continues to be a beautiful birding app. I highly recommend it.

Works on my sisters iPad but not on my iPhone 12 Pro Max with the latest iOS.

This app is generally good, but I have two complaints. 1. I am nervous about looking at pictures of birds in this app because two different times I was looking at pictures of a bird and a picture of a dead bird with its head missing showed up in the list of photos. This is the main reason why I’m giving this app four stars instead of five. I sent an email to the developer complaining about this issue, but he never responded. 2. The list of birds that have been seen in the morning generally doesn’t show up until 11 a.m., so if I check the app at 8. a.m., and someone saw a bird at 7 a.m. that I might want to go see, I can’t go see the bird, because it doesn’t show up. This problem normally isn’t frustrating for me, but it gets frustrating when the bird is a rare one or an owl. Overall, I would recommend it, just make sure you don’t look at the pictures!

Used to work well, now locations do not appear, so it has lost much of its functionality. No hot spots, no links to locations where birds have been seen. I tried downloading again, but it still doesn’t work. Very disappointing.

I am very new to birding and love this because it shows the species around me. Contains all the information I need.

Yes, I love this app because it gives me ideas of where to go for a nearby and enjoyable photo op on any particular day.
