User Reviews

eBird is widely praised as a valuable citizen-science tool that helps users find birding spots, track species, and view personal stats. However, multiple reviews cite stability issues—crashes and pack loading failures—along with media upload difficulties, login problems, and Merlin integration gaps. Some users also request a dark mode and broader location search beyond a 30-mile radius. Overall, the app is highly regarded for its purpose, but multiple reliability and usability issues recur in user feedback.

Pros

Valuable citizen-science tool that supports data collection for researchers.
Helps users find nearby birding spots and track species with community sightings.
Shows detailed stats about birds you've seen and hotspots, enabling progress tracking.
Widely loved by users and considered one of the best birding apps.

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes, and pack-loading failures that block progress.
Difficult or non-intuitive media uploads; adding photos is cumbersome.
Merlin integration is awkward or problematic for some users.
Login/account issues persist for some users (can't sign in or verify).
Missing features: no dark mode and limited location search (30-mile radius).

Recent reviews

It serves well for reporting birds I see, and I’m trying to change to the app more often. I usually forget to use it while out walking and birding.

The apps keeps trying to auto update even when you have zero service and when it’s trying to update you can’t make any lists, keeps pestering you to update packs and when I finally did the app glitched out and going back in I lost 100+ unsubmitted lists (didn’t have service), they just disappeared, what a joke of an app, extremely disappointing (or maybe this is expected given how broken the Merlin app is as well)
