iBird Pro Guide to Birds

iBird™ Pro, considered by experts to be the world’s best app for identifying birds of North America, has been completely updated with the American Ornithological Union’s 2017 Supplement. You can now search for birds by activity levels during day or night (Cathemeral), dawn and dusk (Crepuscular), during the day (Diurnal) or during the night (Nocturnal) with the optional Time of Day package. iBird Pro is the only app that offers Birds Around Me (BAM)—showing just those species in your GPS location. It also features our patented Percevia™ smart search, which helps you identify birds just like the birding experts. Finally iBird Pro 10.06 includes our new Owls of Mexico and Central America package, including illustrations with field marks, range maps, songs and calls and much more for these remarkable species.

Reviews

Great app
PDubNYC

By far the most expensive app I have but so worth it for me


Great App
Camthomp

This app is great and it keeps getting better. My only suggest would be to be able to share option plates/bio pages of the birds. Everyone know me as the “bird guy” and I get a pretty steady flow of bird ID questions. It would be awesome if I could just hit a share button and send it to the questioner. With a link for them to download the app as well, of course. Thanks for working so hard. I appreciate it.


Always ready
Aven304

Finally, I always have a bird guide with me when I see that winter warbler or flycatcher! This app really helps me because it lets me travel without a bulky guide. While there are aspects of iBird pro that could be improved, like having a page with similar species all on it to more easily compare he birds, the app is excellent.


User friendly
feathered quilter

Love the photos of actual birds since a bird’s appearance can sometimes vary from artist rendering. Love the variety of calls available for each bird to compare to what I’m hearing.


Pity month based search use case is not deemed important
ardie01

I think with so many folks asking for the month based search feature you should reconsider it. You are making a mistake by confusing with location/BAM use case. I use this app a lot for learning and planning. If I am planning a late fall trip to say Florida how do I search for it? Your response has been month based searches are not accurate as compared to BAM etc. But that does not help my use case. If month based search is not the right answer then simply provide the right answer. You continue to ignore this important use case. Please don't. Thanks, -rds ps: Please don't use caps to emphasize your point in replies. It reads like you are shouting and angry at your customers.


Great App!!
Zeke VanZante

This is a great app and my go to for all birding. I’d love if they added photo I’d as an in app purchase for it and take in consideration the characters you have in you search bar in to the number of birds display. BTW backyard feeders info was a great new feature.


Somewhat good
MoiYRM

It is fun once you find what you’re looking for but the finding is the hard part! Likes looking for a needle in a huge haystack.....


Great for back yard birder or traveling ornithologist
LLBethune

Accessible information, easy to use, excellent detail. Whether you are simply trying to identify the birds who visit your backyard feeder or studying the habits of birds you find in the wild, this app has the breadth and depth of information you need close at hand. It is simply the best at a price more affordable than the best guidebooks!


Great birding app
aasailor

I’m always seeing birds and because of my age I misname them. So this app lets me be more accurate.


awesome
stellafane vt

the most beautiful birding app . been a birder for 35 years now, and too have all this info in one place is just awesome, i cannot imagine the time and effort that the developers must have invested with this app, replaces my field guides and master books, rendering them kinda useless now, sad because i loved my birding library , but life and technology makes things like this app so awesome , thanks you developers!! update, app keeps crashing now, when i press menu or bam it freezes up, please fix this app, ty, getting old deleting app and then reinstalling it !! after reading another review, it only freezes up in gallery mode, please fix, ty. update, as another reviewer said, if i keep it on anything but gallery view mode it works great, if in gallery mode will freeze when tapping the menu or search buttons,
