"Opening the Newman’s app was like meeting Ken again – elegant, simple and shining with his wonderful art. The groupings make perfect and immediate sense, the page layout is instantly assimilated in a glance – this app now sets the ornithological standard and deserves a full 5-star rating."
– Dave Pepler, Presenter of Groen on DSTV
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In a world characterised by speed and urgency, birding offers the antithesis – a chance to sit still, unwind and simply observe – whether in one’s own garden or in a remote area of the bush.
This Newman’s Birds app is the perfect companion for all birders, from the beginner to the keenest twitcher. It is based on the 2010 commemorative edition of Newman’s Birds of Southern Africa, one of the most popular birding guides in the region since its initial publication in 1983.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE LIFE LIST:
This app includes a cloud-based life list that stores your sightings online. You need to log in to the life list while you have internet connectivity, but once logged in, you can add sightings when you don’t have an internet connection. When you next connect to the internet, the life list will sync, and your new entries should be added to your list. The life list will sync to all your devices that have the app installed and where you are logged in with the same details.

Ratings and Reviews
Disappointing
I love the Newmans App but something has gone wrong and it does not function like before.
When I open the app it has a cartoon picture of a bird with text below thanking me for downloading the latest version of the app.
There is more text followed by an instruction to ‘tap on the button below’ but it is not possible, as the page does not move up or down!
Now I have an app which I’ve paid for but cannot use!
Does not work.
The new app prompts you to download and store all the pictures, calls and accessories so you can use the app offline. It goes through the motions (and data) of downloading it, only to not save or store it, no matter how many times or combinations of delete and reload you try.
So you are simply left with an app that has no pictures, no calls and not much else…..
Terrible app without any support
Please do not download this app. As the previous reviewer has said: content does not download as it should resulting in absent images and sounds. Even after deleting, clearing the cache and reinstalling the same problem recurs. Emailed support more than 3 weeks ago with no answer. Would love my money back to rather buy Roberts.
