Love the concept!

Finally, a bird watching game! The AR mode is really cool. Consider adding more locations and scenes. Also, the ability to walk around would make the game even more interesting! However, sometimes I get a score of 0 no matter how close I get to the bird, even with the zoom lens. For some reason, this always happens with the Nashville Warbler. Please fix this glitch!
Easy to use.

The augmented reality birds are pretty cool, and the use of paper money as a marker makes it easy to enjoy.
I'm one angry bird!

I can almost NEVER find feathers. I also restarted my phone bc the game was freezing and it started me over again to Level one and I was at 8! And I'd like to be able to move the camera around without having to actually move my phone around. Also they say more points for unique poses..like what?? All the birds so is flap their wings and that doesn't get extra points. I try to take pictures head on and keep the bird in the middle but even then it's not many points. Fun game but needs MAJOR software updates!!! Just restarted a second time putting me at level one. Deleting immediately.

The graphics are reminiscent to a N64 and the game even feels like a watered-down version of Pokemon Snap. The birds don't do anything; they just sit there and flap their wings, waiting for their picture to be taken. The birds are easy to spot too, since a button pops up every time you get close to one. This game isn't really fun... It would be nice to be able to walk around and interact with the birds a bit more. And if you're able to walk, maybe you would have to try not to make any noise, for fear of scaring off the birds. I really like the virtual forest/clearing concept, but that's all that this game is really good for. Another thing that irked me was the fact that there's only one bird in the clearing until you go somewhere else or call a bird. I'm no expert, so correct me if I'm wrong, but don't birds travel in clusters? Whenever I see a bird, there's more often than not at least one other bird in a nearby tree. If they're not staring at you, they're hopping up branches, or calling to other birds, or something. The birds in this game should be like that and not how they are right now: boring, repetitive, singled out, and nearly identical. Every once in a while you'll come across a feather; a white, generic little thing that's used as the currency for this game. All it can buy you is a zoom lens, to give you more points; a battery extension, to be able to take more pictures; a charged battery, to allow you to take new photos without having to wait; and a few bird calls, which call a new bird of a specific breed to sit exactly where the last bird sat; it looks extremely lazy and entirely sloppy. All in all, this game is not that fun, it's lazily put together, and the feathers don't do much.
Meh...

Graphics are unimpressive. It keeps crashing. When it crashes it knocks me back to level one. Uninstall.
