Good but to be improved

This app is very useful with songs for most birds and often more than one picture. But it is unfinished. The problems are two.
First it is not easy to find a bird in the list if you dońt know its full name, or group, or family. There should be a search bar for all search lists with keywords.
Second problem: the notes section is useful, but there should be one textbox to add comments, like the date seen, the place, maybe more than one sighting, the gender seen. It does not need to be a complex tabulation, just space to write notes.
And after having saved the note, one should be able to go back to thumbnails.

kicked out

I am following up on my review of Costa Rica birds app. I've used it for years. I was unhappy when my phone update caused the app to malfunction. The developer contacted me and has updated the app. It works perfectly. It's very simple to use. It is not an exhaustive source of information on each species but it's adequate to make an identification so that species can be studied later. Pictures and sounds are good.

Good and getting better

Have had this app for some time and don't agree with the negative comments! It has been updated several times with additional species and pics.

And it has a feature that allows you to record the song or take a pic or choose from your photo library and submit it to get help in identifying a bird you have seen or heard. And response is usually pretty quick.

So for identifying birds in Costa Rica it is a great app.
