Download BirdScout and discover the hidden symphony around you.
Two new ways to use BirdScout.
Soundscapes
Sleep, work, or read to birdsong. Choose a mix like Dawn Forest or Streamside and it keeps playing with the screen off, with controls on the Lock Screen and a sleep timer for when you want it to stop on its own. While it plays, BirdScout shows you which bird you are hearing right now, and you can tap the photo to read about that species.
Photo ID (beta)
Not every bird sings. Take a photo or choose one from your library, and BirdScout suggests what it is. Confirm the species and it joins your life list like any other sighting.
Plus smaller fixes and polish throughout.
