Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab Reviews
Tony A.
2 months ago I had new hearing aids fitted for the first time l’m81 now and can hear twice As many birds and thanks to Merlin I can now know what them birds are thanks to the Merlin App Ps are Merlin birds company related to Merlin Entertainment at Warwick Castle England where I live Thanks again Merlin for a great App Tony A. Warwick England
A new world opened up around me now as I walk.
The only thing they could do better is to allow me to add to my life list after a search instead of going through the id a bird thing which often doesn’t find the bird I know I have seen to add! I think I am a year into using this app now, have bought some Swaros to help and it’s taught me so much. Thanks.
Merlin review
Is a useful help to someone like me. Helps greatly in narrowing down the possibilities to who is singing. Often it is spot on. Do not think it is so hot when it comes to identifying calls. The major problem are the great avian mimics. Overall the Merlin App has helped me a lot. Are these records passed onto other recording organisations?
Best app ever!
Love this app - I’ve learned so much about the birds around me.
Feel so connected to nature

Brilliant for Birds!
I love this app. It has opened up a whole new world. The sound recognition is a enables me to identify birds Fromm their song and it is fantastic. I enjoy collecting data on what I have seen and where. Highly recommend to all my friends .
Life changing
This app gave me an even more in depth connection with nature, my love of birds/wildlife and finally a deeper relationship with my mother who passed this may. Some of my most treasured memories from when I first downloaded the app in February, were discussing the birds I had heard and seen with her. 100% recommend
Such a super app
We love listen to the birds and going on long walks and getting photos of them, this app is so enjoyable enjoyable to have at the touch of a button. I have a recorded 98 different species I get it out at every opportunity highly recommend this to any birdlovers
Amazing and still getting better
The app is amazing, still some improvements but its definitely still getting better by the day
