## Morcombe & Stewart Guide Description
The foremost field guide to Australian birds is now available on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad with a comprehensive collection of bird calls.
** If you would like to experience the app check out The Michael Morcombe eGuide to the Birds of Australia LITE which is FREE and includes 59 species ** 

Michael Morcombe’s Field Guide to Australian Birds has been called the most comprehensive field guide to Australian birds in the market today and now it is perfectly complimented by the eGuide which features:
● iPhone optimised controls – swipe to next or previous species, one-tap enlargement of an image and rotate the device (landscape) to enlarge an image completely (and fit the width of the screen).
● Over 3000 hi-res bird images covering over 790 bird species.
● Most bird species have a detailed distribution map showing any subspecies that occur.
● Detailed text descriptions of almost all bird species including songs and calls, measurements and breeding behaviour.
● Over 1800 carefully-selected and edited sound recordings for over 600 species. Many species are represented with multiple call examples showing the full range of vocalizations.
● The ability to compare any two images, maps, or sounds, side by side on the screen. The ability to filter by geographic location, so that you see only the species likely to occur in your location, and to further reduce the possibilities to usual or vagrant species in the selected area.
● A “Smart Search” that gives the ability to search by distinguishing features such as size, colour, physical features, habitat and exclude certain types of birds (eg. Passerines).
● A basic personal species list that stores your sightings saved to the device* (ability to upload list coming soon)
● A comprehensive help and introduction section to help you if you get stuck or don’t understand how a certain feature works.

*Uninstalling/reinstalling the program will result in the loss of your list, it is recommended that you keep your own backup (master list) separate from the application.

We invite all users to share their comments and ideas on our forum at www.mydigitalearth.com 

NB. This Application WILL ONLY work on an iPhone or iPod Touch running iOS V7.1 or higher NOT A NORMAL IPOD CLASSIC/NANO and the download is about 320MB.

## Morcombe & Stewart Guide Reviews in Australia

### ***-- "Great App but infrequently updated"
Have been using this app for over 10years and its great excey It really needs more frequent updates as the species names have been revised & has some bugs on my iphone 12 mini where the display overlaps the search window and other issues. 
No updates for 3 years + now!!!
-- Ozpom04, 2024-07-26

### ****- "Match calls"
It would be good if we could check the calls we hear against those in the app database so we can know what birds are around. 
Otherwise, great app 😊
-- Brimbella9, 2024-06-13

### ***-- "Unfortunate"
Since getting a new phone my list of birds is less than half what it used to be! How do I update the app back to the full list plus your new additions?!
Unfortunate since I paid quite a bit for this app and love it, I would like to use it again 😪
-- Lovejoyinfinity, 2024-03-27

### ***-- "Needs a lot more work but still a decent app"
* I changed operating systems and can’t import the list I exported from my old phone - they said it was coming but that was a year ago
* The ‘my list’ logs are poorly laid out - they’re all on one long page and difficult to follow
* It seems I can’t delete one log without deleting all logs for that bird
* Needs a lot more work for 5 stars, especially given the price
-- Nickname_967,853, 2024-01-16

### ****- "Overall, excellent."
I’ve used the app for some years. I’m sure there used to be an option to add more than one “My List”. Today I can’t find any way of doing so. What am I missing?
-- Sarinmd, 2023-08-26

### *---- "Unsupported and full of bugs"
it’s full of bugs and not worth the money
-- Kmdfghj, 2023-07-14

### ****- "Personal bird list"
I’ve used this app successfully for several years, and I have developed a nice list of bird sightings. Just purchased a new phone and downloaded the app no problems but my list is empty. Can I somehow move my list across or do I have to start again! Please help! I would hate to have lost that data!
-- Clancy58, 2023-04-13

### ***** "Essential for outdoor people"
I work as a hiking guide, and I find this app incredibly useful. It had helped me learn and ID all the central Australian birds that I'm new to.

The only improvement would be actual photos as well as the drawings. Sometimes I find it easier using Merlin bird ID app for this reason.
-- EastQuoll, 2023-01-27

### *---- "Bug?"
App has recently stopped working after selecting for region. Can’t get out of region page.
-- jeanamanina, 2022-12-18

### ***-- "Passably good"
I love the app and it’s features generally, but there are simply gaps in the database, birds in the various books that I refer to that are not on the app. This is frustrating when I want to record a sighting and the bird doesn’t exist according from the app.
-- charles bird photographer, 2022-08-18

### ***** "App Transfer"
I just got a new phone and was wondering if this app can transfer bird lists between phones.
-- Rmmfnfnfjdj, 2022-01-30

### ***** "Absolutely fantastic! Better than many of my bird books"
Incredibly helpful illustrations showing birds of different ages/seasons/sexes. Beautiful illustrations and great feature of having bird calls and a map. The best and only bird app I need.
-- Crazyparrotlady, 2022-01-03

### *---- "Help"
The sound on my app is not working. Any advise pls?
-- Fernio1, 2020-12-29

### *---- "Crashes consistently."
App crashes consistently when selecting some birds. 
Others simply cannot be selected, get taken to incorrect bird details. 
Rubbish app. 
Trying to get a refund.
-- Skooterpunk, 2020-12-28

### *---- "Very Practical and useful"
I did enjoy and use this app a lot but since the latest update on my iOS phone the app constantly crashes and has annoying bugs. When selecting a specific species to view , the app chooses to select another random species and opens that instead, eg: I select Raja Shelduck and marbled frogmouth opens instead. I select to play the call of a lyrebird and olive-backed oriole plays instead.
-- Oz Birder, 2020-09-03

### *---- "I was so excited"
But I couldn’t even download the app. Tried multiple times over days but it kept stopping part way through download.
-- kerryspork, 2020-07-30

### ****- "Support"
I have happily used this app since it first came out but now I cannot get into the app at all. What is happening? This means I have lost my personal list and notes. Can someone tell me what to do to get in again?
-- LauRob1981, 2020-05-30

### **--- "Location location"
My location won’t work. Screen goes dark and hurls me back to main screen. I could scream.
-- xyzsapote, 2020-04-30

### ***-- "No gallery view on phone"
I had bought this several years ago, version on iPad has Gallery view. I bought new iPhone and downloaded app assuming it would be the same......not!
-- YarraDee, 2020-04-18

### ***-- "Better off buying the book"
I thoroughly enjoyed the book so was optimistic about downloading the app. The app has some fantastic features, namely, the recorded bird calls. However overall I was disappointed by the lack of bird species as compared to the book. I acknowledge that the app is cheaper compared to the book, and as such is not as impressive. Yet for $30, I would have to say that this app is not worth that amount of money due to lack of bird species. 
I live just north of Brisbane in open forest and very often cannot find common bird species when bird watching.
-- Eliza O'Sullivan, 2020-02-23
