Best Information and sound effects

I have been using iBird for several years now. I am impressed by the Ultimate version because it has more drawings, pictures, sounds, identification than ever. It is most helpful with birding. I recommend it to everyone interested in birding. Absolutely fantastic.

Great in the field

I've been using IBird Ultimate for 2 years and truly believe it's like having multiple field guides in my pocket. When birding it is very quick in finding the facts I need and identification with confidence. The pictures and photos in HD are at least the quality of any guide. Having the sounds right at your fingertips is awesome. It is so easy to switch from one category to the other many options. I especially like the ability to go to the companion iBird Journal to make detailed documentation and save it and return to the field guide with ease. Highly recommended.

A complete tool

This product is a powerful and complete tool. It is a very good field guide and almost as fast as thumbing through my good old standby. The song files sold it for me as there is no pocket field guide that can provide such a comprehensive feature. I can both ID a bird by song or, more importantly, I can use my iPhone to call birds in! An awesome way to get a closer look. I picked up the entire package of field guide and journal. I appreciate the ability to record my birding events.

From a Beginner's standpoint

Great Detail and information

Ads for stickers showing up. Ads. For real.

Pop up ads? Really? You didn’t charge enough for the app in the first place?

More ABA birds and splits

Escapes

So you add owls of Mexico and want me to pay for them yet you still are missing basic new species and splits for the ABA area, Gray-headed Swamphen as an example. Otherwise this would be a 5 Star app.

RUDE Customer service / developer

Here is the response to my support comment about being nickled and dimed for add-ons AFTER paying $20 for the app: “I assume you are the same person who left the sardonic review in iTunes. I did not appreciate the silly insults. If you don't like that a developer offers extra features for a few dollars that is fine, no one is forcing you to buy them.” John Lanum (iBird) Oct 11, 09:07 MST No, I hadn’t left a negative review - to that point.

Awesome app!

Flamenquio

Definitely a must app for any birder looking into starting or even a seasoned one, as well. No need to carry around an actual guide when you have your phone handy. Book guides stay at home.

The best, bar none. Worth every penny.

You won't find a better birding guide out there.
