Half of bird ID is scanning the small icons to find bird close to what you’re seeing then looking individually. This app only has the names in letters with no picture until you click into the name which isn’t an app you can really use well at all for birding.

I hope I didn’t pay three times for this because I had to keep going back to the site and going through the whole process three time orus41

This is a digitized copy of the EA Helm Field Guide with audio clips - no more, no less. Helm is a good field guide, but I expect more from an interactive app. It’s next to useless when you’re trying to identify unfamiliar birds in the field. Unlike Sasol, which has a thumbnail image of each bird next to its name on the taxonomical and alphabetical listings, this has nothing. Sasol lets you tag and compare similar birds - not here. No geolocation features, basic sort functions, etc. the app is okay to maintain a basic list of birds seen and where, but even here its stunted due to lack of geolocation and time stamping capacity. You can not rely on this app for much other than list maintenance when you’re in the field or trying to reconstruct a day in the evening.
