Wonderful app that I use around the world

You really need to buy the paid version to appreciate this app as well as use eBird. We use it constantly when birding often without a field guide. It’s ability to customize search to an eBird hotspot, showing birds seen in a limited area, a limited timeframe is invaluable. You can even have it tell you what birds you are missing on your life list that have recently been seen. I’ve been using the app for a couple of years now and I’m still discovering useful things that you can do with it. Highly recommended by me at least. My only complaint is that it does not have family sharing for the purchase options. Apparently each person in the family must purchase a license to use it.

More issues over time

There are as many great things about this app as there are bad things. I’ve been paying for the world subscription for several years, yet sometimes when I try to pull up a species account it states that I need to subscribe. Many of the species have top-notch photos, while others have lower quality photos. When you dig into things a bit, one of the reasons for this becomes apparent - a handful of photographers screw with the ratings so excellent photos that are not theirs are scored lower. This is most apparent with many of the Australian species - the same 2-3 photographers are represented across many of the species from this continent. While the information available in this app is robust, loading time is an issue. For example, when one attempts to load a checklist via a species featured in the rare birds section, it can take up to a minute to load the checklist. It’s been like this for at least two years. And no, this isn’t an issue with my phone - I’ve replicated this issue on other phones. Next, getting any sort of response from people who run the app is impossible. I’ve never gotten a response from them (although if BirdsEye has the same owner it had 10 years, this is not surprising). Lastly, each year there seems to be fewer and fewer updates to the app. In fact, I don’t think there have been any in 2021. And in past couple of weeks more things have stopped working on the app.

Essential birding app

This is one of the apps that every birder should have. It tells you which birds to expect at any given time of year in any given area, which is amazingly helpful. The photos and audio files are all excellent quality. For beginners, this app will allow you to easily scroll through the birds in your area, allowing you to potentially identify the bird without flipping through a field guide. More experienced birders will love the frequency bars showing when to expect each bird throughout the year, and the audio files for each species. This app does not give detailed descriptions of birds (such as behaviors and habitat), so it does not replace more in-depth field guides. But for actual usefulness while birding, this app is essential.
