Ratings and Reviews
Great app for birding in Hawai’i
My wife and I just returned from the Big Island and used this app a lot. It had all the features we desired, with a simple, logical layout and the ability to search by habitat type, color, or name. High-quality photos, video, and sounds made it easy to identify birds. The description of each species provided just the right amount of information for in the field (including where to find each species) and the links to Wikipedia pages were really convenient to learn more. One thing we really liked was that all endemic were clearly identified and could be searched for separately. Because so many of Hawai’i’s birds are exotics, we also liked that exotic birds were described with the same level of detail, and with helpful explanations of when, why, and where they were introduced. We highly recommend this app for anyone interested in Hawai’i’s incredible birds, whether you are an occasional or professional birder.
a clear and concise app for Hawaii
I start by saying I am not a serious type of birder... no life lists, and I enjoy "discovering" a bird each time I discover it. With that caveat, I think this app is just what I need for my next trip to Hawaii. It wil run without internet, can narrow it down to one island, and gives the sounds in most cases. I'll write again after I return from Maui.
Excellent!!
An extremely well crafted app. The interface is obvious, intuitive, and very useful in the field. A rarity in software these days. The author clearly spent the time to get it right. Now if he could just bring back all the birds that man has exterminated through stupidity.
