Faulty ID search function

There is an error in the bird ID search functionality.
The search algorithm seems faulty. When selecting options such as location, habitat, shapes, etc the retrieved bird list keeps increasing rather than narrowing down the selection. The number of retrieved birds should decrease.
This worked correctly in the original app.

Developer Response ,

This has been fixed in update version 2.3

Excellent Bird app and guide

Had Newman’s for years, after their latest update it got binned, so the search continued for another Guide, tested Sasols eBird and a few others, eventually Roberts won the day, we identify quite a few birds by sound, especially outdoors camping, the guide appears to have much more content, searching is good as well.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the five stars.

Incredible information, easy to navigate, simply on of the best!

As a professional birding guide, I use this guide readily in the field. It’s ease of use and access to in-depth information at your fingertips makes this a must have app for a serious birder.

While I find the identification function a little hit and miss (probably just my understanding of the function), and some of the information a little outdated, this app still finds itself in class of it’s own. I constantly recommend those traveling to Southern Africa to download and use this app.
