Audubon Bird Guide Customer Insights

1. I'm not a "birder" so appreciate the ability of the app to use my location, time of year, and bird characteristics (size, type, etc.) to identify the birds I am seeing.

2. I have used it to identify birds, but honestly entering a brief description of the bird I've seen into a Google search then scanning the images that come up has worked just as well.

3. I've also found that playing the calls included for the bird really brings them in to investigate the "stranger" in their territory so I can get a nice, close look at them.I I'd really rather download this app to my laptop rather than my phone.

4. My main issue right now is that when I go to set the location of the Field Guide and select my state, the 'Save' and 'Close' buttons don't work, and I get stuck on that screen.

5. You can put in a bunch of different information about a bird you see (location, colors, size, type of call, etc...) and it gives a list of possible matches.

6. The downloaded field guide data periodically disappears with no warning, making the app kind of useless in remote locations.

7. When I had it installed on my phone I also had the issue of not being able to change locations for spotting birds.

8. But as far as a field guide to North American birds, and their calls, I feel so lucky to have come across this.

9. When you save it then open Sightings and look at the same sighting, the map marker is nowhere close to the correct location.

10. I love the amount of pictures this app has and the recorded bird calls you can listen to.

11. I haven't been using the sighting features, so I can't comment on how well that function works.
