Ineffective
I bought this app to help me ID birds by their calls, but it fails on several measures.
First and foremost, the ID feature is simply inadequate. I have made several fairly clear recordings that the app fails to recognize. It seems that I must be standing within 10 feet or so of a bird with no other noises nearby (cars, people talking, etc) to get this feature to work.
Second, the bird call examples in the app poorly reflect the wide variety of calls for each species, making manual ID/education incomplete and misleading.
Third, the app styling and graphics are very basic, low res, quickly falling out of date. Not a big problem, but a little annoying at the least.
