User Reviews

iBird Pro is praised for its depth, offline usability, and rich visuals, making it a powerful field guide. However, a major recurring downside is the shift to a subscription model with access and support issues, along with mixed feelings about the AI features.

Pros

Comprehensive all-in-one field guide with range maps, songs, calls, similar species, and habit details; many reviewers say it's more informative and worth the price than traditional field guides.
Easy to use and highly searchable, with offline access for travel and field work.
Excellent audio-visual content: high-quality bird photos/artwork, clear recordings, and an engaging slide show; Flickr photo integration enhances identification.
Helpful learning/organization features: iBirdGPT integration, ability to sort by family, 'Birds around me' filtering, and easy access to favorites and photos.
Strong value and reliability for a mobile field guide; packed with features in one app, supporting both beginners and experienced birders.

Cons

Recurring subscription model issues: shift from a one-time purchase to a subscription, loss of lifetime access, unclear pricing, and ongoing costs that frustrate many users.
Subscription restoration/support problems: difficulty restoring purchases and delays or lack of response from support.
Mixed reception to AI features: iBirdGPT garners both praise and complaints; some users want the option to disable it.

I paid a (large) flat fee for this app back in the day. Then they switched to a subscription model and I lost my access. Super lame and disingenuous. Get Merlin instead.

I’ve had this app for 5 years. Now it asks to restore purchase but even after it says it has restored previous purchase it still won’t open. I’ve contacted customer support but have not gotten any response.
