Crash upon signin

When trying to sign in, the app immediately crashes now.


Update is awful!

hgffsaw

The ability to find birds by hot spot was a great feature. You could find hot spots by map or list. Why was that taken away? This new version is bad!


Nature share community gone

SLHBK

I’m very disappointed with the new update and find I rarely use the app now . My favorite part of the prior version was the nature share community , local birds by people in the Comminity ... not a fan at all of new version


Don’t update!

cc-lo

This update has completely lost functionality for how I used this app. I used to explore bird sighting data in my area using the map function. Now you scroll through what looks like individuals’ eBird lists, which is an inefficient way to look for species. You don’t get to see the distribution of where different species have been cited. The old version was so wonderful. Please bring back that functionality! Also I really dislike that I had to create an account to use these features for an app I’ve had for years.


Dropped support on many Audubon apps that I purchased..

I have purchased several of your guides such as Birds and Butterflies, Trees and wildflowers, Reptiles and Amphibians, etc. BUT I was highly disappointed on an update where I went to use the App, and was greeted by the Apple Store message that it was no longer supported; so in essence, the version I had was gone AND could not recover it from your site. ** VERY DISAPPOINTED ** with you -The Audubon Society... I was strongly considering a membership to the National Audubon Society, but you already stole money from myself and other paid users of your guide. Shameful.


Ruined a good app!

I used this app every week on free guided walks to help other birders. The recent update rendered this app useless! The worst app revision in my life! Bring back the previous version PLEASE!!


Gets worse with every update

Jimbo hotep

This app used to be the gold standard when I paid full price years ago until they started messing with the migration maps making them confusing , then the ebird stats pretty much stopped functioning and now with the latest “update” you need accounts and passwords to get into a pretty much unusable interface


Longtime user of the app, hate version 5

weltanschuuang

Please change it back! The old app version made it easy to browse ebird hotspots or list all local birds. The new app shows hotspot birds organized by each day they were submitted so it is impossible to quickly see all birds in a region. Also, the list only takes up half the screen, with the other half stuck on the hotspot map, which doesn’t show anything. I want an ebird list of all of the birds in my town over the last few weeks, like it used to be. Don’t vhange the app if you’re going to make it less functional.


Update has ruined the app

Frustrated Fashion Fan

Instead of making the app more user friendly, the recent redesign has made it unusable. Photos of birds are sized wrong, the search function and advanced bird identification filters have diminished, and the interface with e-bird to see what’s been seen in an area is now almost useless. I wish I could have the old version back.


Worst update ever!

VCHURB

The March 2018 update to the Audubon Bird Guide is a disaster. Not at all compatible with iOS. On my iPad most of the field guide bird photos are just black and the ones that appear are so badly cropped as to only show small parts of the bird, some don't have any of the bird. The whole app crashes frequently, everything takes way too long to load, the interface is cumbersome, editing lists is tedious and deleting one is impossible unless you want to delete one bird at a time and then the list is still there but empty. I'm ready to trash the whole thing. I sure don't use it anymore.
