Firefinch

Not impressed, the features are not more than a lot of other bird apps but the cost is high. Suggest you look at BirdPro as an better alternative.

I have been using this app for a month or more and it has enabled me to start identifying and confirming bird species through their calls. I have always struggled with bird calls but the way the calls are communicated (even giving the other background calls) has been massively beneficial

This app is a perfect balance between brevity and detail for each species account. Moreover, the added features such as Dawn Chorus and frequent updates of new species as well as the additional content for existing species, is unique. It’s a true dynamic and live app that provides much interaction.

This app doesn’t include any starlings or sunbirds. It’s lacking in quite a few species and mainly has a lot of info about seabirds. You have to pay to use identification features, which isn’t ideal. It’s a good app for keeping track of sightings and locations but the downside is that you can only keep track very specific bird species. It has potential, but it is lacking a lot. Especially with paid features despite the app seeming like it isn’t fully complete yet.

The best bird app for Southern Africa!! An added bonus: weekly podcasts, with accompanying photographs and/or illustrations jam-packed with information and anecdotes. Yes, it’s expensive, but ABSOLUTELY worth it!

What an amazing app. It is clear that a lot of effort went in to making this app! When the time is right, please add a section where you can test your knowledge with a quiz of bird sounds and images. I find it easiest to learn new birds once I get questioned about them. Bird sounds is not as easy to learn though and if you could develop a way to learn these sounds, even as an alternative app, I will pay big money for such an app!

Wow. What an informative, intuitive and extremely well designed bird app. Excellent quality.

Terrific local app, with a local bird focus that beats the international apps for me. Love the detailed and beautiful sketches, bird calls with annotations, handy tips and fascinating blog posts. And best of all, the team is always happy to interact if you pop them a mail asking for birding advice!

The amount of work and attention to detail that has gone into this app is evident and so appreciated. So much I love about it, especially the annotations in the bird call sonographs - a genius addition. Works beautifully on iPhone 5se with iOS 15.7.1.

Thia app is not for all avid birdwatchers - too expensive!
