All Birds UK - the Photo Guide

Have only just started using the app. Gives me all I need concisely. Easy to use. So glad I downloaded it.

Great little app and worth the money. Perfect field guide for any birder.

I’ve used this app for several years now and find it an excellent guide to identifying birds in the field - saving the need to carry a heavy book with me. It also scores over a book with the superb selection of songs and calls which I’ve used to confirm an identification. I’ve given the 5 stars based on this experience. However, the app is not so good for recording your sightings. I probably pushed it further than the designers expected with about 20 lists for sites I’d visited sometimes on several occasions. The app became unbearably slow at saving recordings and in the end I gave up with it. I haven’t lost my records as the app offers the ability to export your lists as CSV files which you can import to Excel. But be aware that the export contains the GPS map coordinates of the sightings so if you didn’t record your list by location you‘ll have trouble working out what you saw where. There are other apps for recording records including one from the BTO, but I’ve decided to go back to pen an paper and will use the RSPB bird lists. Recordings of ten outings for £1 seems pretty good value to me.

Easy to use and a comprehensive library of birds.

This app has lots of details about the birds, from pictures to song. It helps you identify their eggs. I can also find the name of birds in Portuguese! Finally, the option to record sightings is just great!

Wonderful just got back to bird watching after many years, tried several free apps which were ok but glad I purchased this one which is far more comprehensive with fantastic photos and information great. John Brad

The photographs are excellent and generally cover male, female, juvenile, in flight and at rest. This is the most helpful bird spotting app that I have found. I definitely think it’s worth the money.

The photographs are superb and really do help in identifying the birds seen in the UK. One thing puzzles me though why the recordings sometimes have a country location which is far from here. The blackbird recorded in New Zealand for example! Would have thought recordings in the UK would more accurately reflect the nuances of the calls of our birds here. A User Guide would be helpful.m

I recently downloaded this app as I wanted to get back into birding having been an avid twitcher when I lived in Southern Africa. I wanted the best app I could find with as much info to hand in the field. Having been used to carrying several reference books in the past, it was an absolute pleasure to know that all the guidance and info I needed coukd now be found on my mobile phone with this app. The information is clear and concise with detailed pictures for identification and numerous bird calls to add that extra bit of certainty. I’ve learnt a lot from it already. A huge database for an app and well worth the money. Highly recommended!

For a program that cost £15 you would not expect the home page image for “Gannets” to feature a photograph of a Pelican. thankfully it contained one gannet - but not 3 as expected.
