eBird

Really great functionality but the actual keying / data entry and predictive text bit is painfully slow and always has been, even on a current top spec phone. It’s a bit maddening really that something that should require the processing power of 1995 runs slow in 2025.

I’ve been using the app for years but the last several times I’ve attempted a checklist the app either stops the checklist within 1-2 minutes of starting it (ie if the app is minimized) or crashes right away. There is no opportunity to resume an unsubmitted checklist when it crashes and continue logging where you’ve been. What happened? It was very reliable before the last update.

The app is usually great, but this version of it keeps crashing on my phone.

The app NO LONGER WORKS ON IOS 18. It is incompatible. For months this has been an issue and they refuse to update or modernize the app. It’s sad because this truly used to be a 5 star app. But with recent updates becoming less and less frequent and the overall functionality of the app being nonexistent, it’s safe to say this app is outdated and should either be removed from the App Store or updated immediately.

I enjoy using this app and the Merlin Bird ID app together. It’s great!

It’s free and there is nothing else like it and nothing that can do what it does. I’m loath to criticize when… There is nothing else like it and nothing that can do with it does :-). Did I mention that it’s free?

Not sure why, but the app keeps crashing. It crashes every time I tap to explore the details of a location. Very frustrating. I tried restarting my phone to no avail.

This is a new issue. Broken in current and previous version! Cannot get into ANY submitted checklists. Please fix this bug!

Plus the “Bird Lords” email you telling you what you did or didn’t observe.

Having to sift through Latin names is tedious. It would be great to have the common names and photos as well
