iBird Ultimate also takes a major leap forward with “Time of Day” filtering available in version 10.06. 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).
Also included in this version is our new Owls of Mexico and Central America package, including all the hard to find details which iBird is so well known for: illustrations with field marks, range maps, songs and calls and much more.

Great Bird App
Michael Kent Burns
I use this app all the time. I love the favorites list and ability to listen to bird songs of your favorites in a slide show manner. Very powerful app packed with useful and interesting data.

The best bird app I’ve found

We use this constantly. I love how you can filter for local birds. This is a really great feature for those of us who travel.
Best App

This app is so apt. Easy to use and full of info for an amateur like me. It has helped me immensely in pinning down the songs of my local birds. My yard is a riverine community with large tree and cover and full of birds.
Poor writing

So I decided to purchase this app for a second time because as they say “we need to make a living “ or “your cars don’t last forever why should software “ of course I’m paraphrasing but you get the point. The description says Owls of Mexico and Time of Day are included. After buying and trying too use these add ons I got pushed back to the buy these window. I wrote the developers and I get their message that the description is incorrect and it should read these add ons are available and not are included. Pretty big mistake since the words or spelling are not even close and we’re working on fixing it. So buyer beware, the ultimate version isn’t complete they still want more money for you to use all their new technology. Greed is an awful thing for consumers!
A decent bird guide app
Terra Ignota
If you are looking for a basic bird app, this will do. Mostly, the interface is user friendly; though, the keyboard stays open after use and can only be removed after switching to a new screen, which makes for a small scroll screen. The illustrations are okay, and the photos are decent. I wish there was more coverage for ages and sexes, however, especially alternate plumages.
The best bird app
Kuchnor
My husband and I were walking in Bong Recreation Center and I played different bird songs on this app. Very impressive!
Disappointing

I am new to birding so maybe it’s just my inexperience but I have tried looking up three different birds and have been unsuccessful for all three of them.
