Ratings and Reviews
Really impressed
I’m really impressed with this app. A lot of thought has gone into making this very user friendly. The descriptions are brilliant, while the photos are well chosen. Faansie just has a way of making birding interesting but also easy. The market needed this. I’ve sent one or two pieces of feedback to the team (for further development), with immediate responses. That’s fantastic. I also have the Sasol and Roberts apps but this will become my go-to. As regards the ongoing fee, I know it’s a big change for some. However, I think it’s appropriate. To have this team continuing to develop this world class app will need some funds. It’s not that much money and totally worth it for what you’re getting. Go team Firefinch, with this quality you’ll conquer the market.
One of the best!
What an amazing app. It is clear that a lot of effort went in to making this app!
When the time is right, please add a section where you can test your knowledge with a quiz of bird sounds and images. I find it easiest to learn new birds once I get questioned about them. Bird sounds is not as easy to learn though and if you could develop a way to learn these sounds, even as an alternative app, I will pay big money for such an app!
Amazing
I have been using this app for a month or more and it has enabled me to start identifying and confirming bird species through their calls. I have always struggled with bird calls but the way the calls are communicated (even giving the other background calls) has been massively beneficial
