Bird ID Hawaii

Very good app for the money, easy to find birds by differents habitats, island by island or all together with nice pictures. I have to mention that John is very helpfull and open to suggestions also!

This app is so helpful because it every island and which birds are on it and in which habitats. I love love love using it. The ability to switch between islands is so fabulous. Do you get my drift. Get this app pro or beginner you will love it.

It would be helpful if there were categories of the birds separated by the different islands on which they are seen.

Love the songs

An extremely well crafted app. The interface is obvious, intuitive, and very useful in the field. A rarity in software these days. The author clearly spent the time to get it right. Now if he could just bring back all the birds that man has exterminated through stupidity.

I have found Bird ID Hawai`i to be the perfect companion on my weekly bike rides across Kawainui Marsh, though Norfolk and around Kaelepulu. The information about each bird is interesting and concise. It has helped me gain a deeper appreciation for the many birds I see and has peaked my interest to learn more. Highly recommended!

My wife and I just returned from the Big Island and used this app a lot. It had all the features we desired, with a simple, logical layout and the ability to search by habitat type, color, or name. High-quality photos, video, and sounds made it easy to identify birds. The description of each species provided just the right amount of information for in the field (including where to find each species) and the links to Wikipedia pages were really convenient to learn more. One thing we really liked was that all endemic were clearly identified and could be searched for separately. Because so many of Hawai’i’s birds are exotics, we also liked that exotic birds were described with the same level of detail, and with helpful explanations of when, why, and where they were introduced. We highly recommend this app for anyone interested in Hawai’i’s incredible birds, whether you are an occasional or professional birder.

Excellent write ups and great to have songs available

This app would be 100% better with an island filter. I'm on one island. I don't want to have to read about a bird to find out that it only exists on a different island. It has good info but I hate wasting time reading about birds I'm not going to encounter on the island I am on.

The sounds don't appear to be built in, as none of them would play on my iPhone 6 with iOS 10.1.1. I purchased the more expensive, but much more useful iBird Hawaii app, which worked great.
