In short
iBird Pro Birds North America is a birding app for Android created by Mitch Waite Group2. And this is a perfect way to identify in field.
Highlights
A great app to help identify and track the birds you see
This is easy to use and has great range maps and bird calls
But it often crashes or fails to display my favorites lists
A great reference and much easier than carrying a field guide
Great for all birding skill levels
A wonderful addition to my field pack
Works pretty well in helping to identify in the field
This is a great bird identification app
Great interface and easy to use for identification
Also love that it provides quality comparisons
The bird sounds do NOT work in the field without Internet connection
And repeatedly get a message that Google login has failed
I don't like it that the update wants identity and device info
No option to restore my favourites from an old phone to a new phone
Back to being crappie app
Thanks for ruining the app and making it utterly useless
The database download keeps falling on my Nexus 5X
Unreliable unless you stay within Internet access
Takes too much space
Reinstalling does not fix which forces me to use other birding apps
