"Opening the Newman’s app was like meeting Ken again – elegant, simple and shining with his wonderful art. The groupings make perfect and immediate sense, the page layout is instantly assimilated in a glance – this app now sets the ornithological standard and deserves a full 5-star rating."

– Dave Pepler, Presenter of Groen on DSTV

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In a world characterised by speed and urgency, birding offers the antithesis – a chance to sit still, unwind and simply observe – whether in one’s own garden or in a remote area of the bush.

This Newman’s Birds app is the perfect companion for all birders, from the beginner to the keenest twitcher. It is based on the 2010 commemorative edition of Newman’s Birds of Southern Africa, one of the most popular birding guides in the region since its initial publication in 1983.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

FREE VERSION:
Try before you buy – there is a free lite version with full app functionality, limited to 60 species, so that you can see how it works before purchasing this app. Search for Newman's Birds of Southern Africa LITE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE LIFE LIST:
This app includes a cloud-based life list that stores your sightings online. You need to log in to the life list while you have internet connectivity, but once logged in, you can add sightings when you don’t have an internet connection. When you next connect to the internet, the life list will sync, and your new entries should be added to your list. The life list will sync to all your devices that have the app installed and where you are logged in with the same details.

Trip

My trip list disappeared all the time cut my loss and downloaded birdpro , emailed them they said they will get back to me , still waiting but don’t bother.

Update

S_Everett on

Loved the previous version. The new version has so many issues. Can’t enlarge the pictures when tapping. Beginning to regret getting this Bird app.

Afrikaans

Giel cillie on

Please have a setting to have Afrikaans as preferred language, like Roberts Thanks

This app does not work

qwerty7864 on

When opening the app it displays a screen asking you to tap the button below to proceed, but you can't scroll down to the button that you are supposed to tap. Don't waste your money. This is a scam.

Updated app

tientienkie on

I have the same problem as Sunbird Chris, any solutions forthcoming?

Disappointing

Sunbird Chris on

I love the Newmans App but something has gone wrong and it does not function like before. When I open the app it has a cartoon picture of a bird with text below thanking me for downloading the latest version of the app. There is more text followed by an instruction to ‘tap on the button below’ but it is not possible, as the page does not move up or down! Now I have an app which I’ve paid for but cannot use!

The update spoiled a good app

charlioneknobie on

Somehow the new update is clumsy and the search functionality less intuitive. Aesthetics and design clunky . Spoiler a good app. RIP Newman’s. I loved you so.

Download does not work. Version 4,0 a step backwards

Does not work.

KS Durbs on

The new app prompts you to download and store all the pictures, calls and accessories so you can use the app offline. It goes through the motions (and data) of downloading it, only to not save or store it, no matter how many times or combinations of delete and reload you try. So you are simply left with an app that has no pictures, no calls and not much else…..

Problem still persist

Disgusted 11111111111 on

It time to refund everyone’s money What a disgusting developer you must have to mess up a previously decent app
