Birds of Britain Pocket Guide

Not to bad

Great way of finding and spotting birds. I use this for leashes and also with my class when out on first school or trips.

Congratulations on this steadily improving app. Marvellous. 1st class. Get it now!

Lots of British birds missing on this app - informed the writer - Hilary Lind who confirmed birds are deliberately left out so people will put Purchase their Birds of Britain Pro App for £12 - don’t waste your money with this. They claim to be helpful and listen to recommendations but they’re not. Use Merlin instead - the writers are always welcome there to update their lists at no extra cost - or excuse

This is a nice app. Useful info, decent pics. Altogether a really nice app. A few species could be added - Great White Egret, Mediterranean Gull and a few others, but I’m sure they will come in forthcoming upgrades. John

When I first purchased this app I thought it was fantastic however, lately when I’ve been out and tried to ID a bird, the bird has not been listed in the app, i.e., Great Egret and Twite which are both reasonably well known in the UK which is very disappointing so now I’m thinking of purchasing an alternative app so I don’t miss out on a positive ID. Sometimes a quick ID is needed while the bird is in front of you. Waiting until getting and home to Google normally means the characteristics of the bird have been lost from memory.

I have had this app for years and use it all the time and love it. It’s easy to use, has good quality pictures, and has all the most common birds and songs that most people will need. It’s missing some that I am interested in though, so please keep adding to the species lists, e.g. like Cirl bunting and Golden Oriole, and more song clips please (still missing for some species).

I really like this app but a cursory look showed that the Shrikes that can be seen in Britain (Red Backed and Great Grey) are missing. May find more omissions on a deeper inspection, but I hope not.

Was shown this by my 7yr old grandson.... They use it in their classroom and was shared as a useful tool during lockdown. What a gift!! I’m a countryside volunteer and have used it a lot with visitors. It runs beautifully on my iPad but won’t install on my iPhone SE. Any ideas as how to fix would be very welcome.

Excellent app for those looking to identify local birds.
