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.

[Note: The developers sent me a very kind reply to my complaint assuring me that no user data is ever sold. Although I am still sore about being suddenly asked to provide an email address, I very much appreciate that they took the time to contact me, and that they were much more gracious than I was! I am changing my review of this app to reflect the experience I had while using it.] This app is chock-full of information while being accessible and engaging even for beginners. It makes learning about birds easy and enjoyable.

Recently downloaded to educate and learn more about birds and this app has definitely done that! This app has been fun to use as well. I recommend!

Can’t listen to find birds. That would be my only complaint but sounds like that feature is coming. I had issue with search feature that no longer seems to be an issue. I reinstalled the app and an update to iOS that maybe helped. Not sure. Ether way seems like this will be helpful app for our new house in the sticks!
