Description

A Pocket Guide for ALL the Birds of New Zealand, with 20% of profits Donated to Conservation Efforts!

MANU O AOTEAROA:

Twitcher is the most comprehensive pocket guide app for all the birds of New Zealand, featuring over 250 species. Never before has this array of information been so easily accessible. Detailed descriptions, call audio, statistics, remaining population information, and more is available in one place, right from your pocket — no more bulky guidebooks or relying on dodgy internet when you're out and about.

Whether you're an all-out ornithologist, a bird nerd or a humble backyard birder, Twitcher is for all birders alike.

CARING FOR OUR TĀONGA:

New Zealand is home to a plethora of unique birds found nowhere else on the planet. Unfortunately, this place they call home is under constant threat from introduced predators, development, intensive farming, and climate change. That's why we decided to create Twitcher. To help educate, raise awareness, and give our remaining manu one last chance before it's too late.

Because we are committed to helping protect our natural tāonga in every way possible, 20% of all profits go straight into conservation, right where it matters most.

Why? Because we want to inspire a culture that cares about the environment. We want to invest in rich and healthy ecosystems where local biodiversity and endemic wildlife thrive so that future generations can keep on twitching!

Excellent NZ bird watching tool

I have been using this to help me identify all the birds in our back garden. It’s well thought out and easy to use, and is far better than getting a book out every time you want to look up a NZ bird. A great bird pocket guide!

Keep on Twitchin’

What an awesome pocket guide to identify New Zealand birds while out and about on adventures. So easy to use and with the filter system it makes it so easy to identify birds on the go. Well worth getting if you want to expand your birding knowledge

An excellent field guide

I had been looking for an electronic equivalent to the definitive books I grew up with and this is it.

I have only two issues with it.

First is that the Latin names are too difficult to read. They are pale and in an overly cursive font.

Second, I could find no support link in the app to report the above issue, and when I used the one in the App Store it lead to a Facebook page.

Developer Response ,

Kia Ora and tēnā koe for the review!

Appreciate the feedback and will definitely look to make some improvements in an upcoming release.

Happy Twitching! :)
