Bird Songs USA & Canada (3100)

Looks like it would be a good app but I have no audio, and I bought the app for the songs. For a paid app, I expected more.

I originally purchased this app for my second generation iPad Pro (12.9 in), and it performed beautifully. Then I upgraded to a newly released software version and totally lost the sound on the app. I was without sound for over a year. Recently, I upgraded to iOS 13.1.3, and discovered that the sound had returned and was once again working perfectly. I could not find another app to replace the song quality on this app, so I am quite pleased to find the app once again working properly.

The audio for this app never worked. Which kind of defeats the point of things. A total waste of money.

Purchased this over a year ago and every time I try to use it, the app wants to reload. I recently deleted it and attempted a new upload thinking that might help. It won’t even load on my phone now. Doesn’t look like it’s been updated or had any bug fixes in over a year. Purchase at your own risk.

I cannot hear the sounds! Have volume on high! Help

Ok. I haven’t had it much more than an hour and I love it!!! Still don’t like the ‘hard number’ sightings but the rest is like BirdTunes in steroids. Did I say I love it?? Give me freedom of text in the sighting bar and I’m 100% going to recommend this to my classmates. Such a vast library. I’ve got my work cut out. Oh yea, I like it so much I bought Trees USA as well. I’m a dendro geek as well as an Orno geek and these fit nicely into my quiver. Keep up the good work!!

I’ve never been able to get this app to work. Now it crashes as soon as I select a bird. Doesn’t seem to have a new version to replace the one I have.

Most difficult app to use. Only bird it works for is the mute swan.

This is probably still the best app for USA bird songs for iPhone. However, there is plenty to things not to like and most are little things. But seriously, why is it so slow? Just slow enough that you feel the need to tap again but it then responds and you end up jumping ahead. Why is there no “recent birds” option? Why are there no favorites? And navigating between species is so tedious. There was Birdtunes which had it right but has now gone. Hint to the authors of this app, take what reviewers liked about Birdtunes. Not that hard to do. My biggest gripe is the location of the play button, why top right, the hardest place to reach?? I also feel the selection of songs for some species is not that great. I would gladly pay more for a more diverse set of songs.

The app is quite comprehensive and I use the songs “loop” feature when playing songs. I previously had the Birdtunes app and this is the best replacement I could find. I have been notified by the developers that the sorely needed “favorites” feature will be added, and I read that a “last used” feature will be added also. Then it will be a 5 STAR app! Thanks to the developers for listening to your users, we are waiting!
