User Reviews

Users appreciate the Sasol eBirds Southern Africa app for its user-friendly design, rich bird information including calls and images, and a once-off payment model. However, multiple reviews highlight issues such as lack of cloud backup, buggy location-based features, and difficulties managing life lists. Search functionality has mixed feedback, with some finding it unreliable, especially in Afrikaans. Concerns about update charges and occasional app navigation frustrations are also noted. Overall, the app is valued for its content and usability but could improve in data management and feature reliability.
Pros
  • User friendly interface with easy navigation.
  • Comprehensive information including bird calls, pictures, and descriptions aiding in bird identification.
  • Once-off payment model without subscription, appreciated by users.
  • Regular updates improving features such as updated plates and UI improvements.
  • Ability to zoom in on illustrations and photos and separate bird call tracks enhances usability.
Cons
  • Lack of cloud backup resulting in loss of data when changing devices.
  • Location-based search and live view features are buggy or non-functional in some areas.
  • Cumbersome process to create and manage life lists, especially with large numbers of sightings.
  • Search and smart search functions sometimes inaccurate or not user-friendly, particularly for Afrikaans users.
  • Confusion and dissatisfaction with being charged again for app updates despite previous purchase.

Great reference in the field. Easy to use, and pic list gives you an idea what you are looking for.

Great app. User friendly with all the features needed. On the "My List" option it would be great to have the option to have species within each list, listed taxonomically instead of only in sequence of being logged.
