User Reviews

Users laud Audubon Bird Guide for strong, flexible ID tools, easy logging with eBird integration, and beginner-friendly design, plus Merlin compatibility and rich media. Recurrent downsides are login/privacy issues, bugs/UI instability, limited geographic coverage, and occasional location inaccuracies. Overall, a powerful tool for many birders, especially beginners, but stability and global scope improvements are needed.

Pros

Powerful bird identification features with filters (including call-based search) and thorough species info.
Easy to log sightings with built-in eBird integration, location-based spot suggestions, and customizable lists/notifications.
User-friendly, clean design that works well for beginners and remains versatile for experienced birders.
Works well with Merlin, enhancing the ID workflow.
Rich media and explore options (photo feed) plus customization options for tracking and sharing sightings.

Cons

Login/authentication problems and privacy concerns about forced tracking or communications, with multiple reports of login failures.
Bugs and UI issues (crashes, texture/icon misalignment, layout problems) affecting usability.
Limited geographic coverage (primarily North America) and requests for more global bird species regions (e.g., Europe, Hawaii).
Occasional location inaccuracies (sighting locations not reliable) and other feature reliability concerns.

Recent reviews

This is the best bird ID app available for Apple devices. So straightforward to use, and lovingly presented. NOTE: The app will ask you for account login or email address in order to access it, and this cannot be done without cell or WiFi access, and the process for downloading the app's content to your phone so that the app works without connectivity doesn't get pushed through until *after* you log in, so make sure you get everything set up at home before you take it into the field.

After updates it keeps making me redownload off-line field guide. You only notice this while off-line. Making the app useless till you get service again. It has now happened 3x to me.
