Description
ROBERTS BIRD GUIDE 2 is based on the "Roberts Bird Guide (second edition)" with all new illustrations, distribution maps and bird texts for 986 Southern African bird species, including all the new species and names. The app can be used as a FIELD GUIDE like the book, or as a BIRD GUIDE with bird list and bird pages.
The FIELD GUIDE displays the full pages of the book for instant comparison and identification. Search the family list or swipe the pages for a bird, play the sound, view the distribution, add to your list, view and compare similar birds, open the BIRD PAGE for text and photographs, or open the BIRD GUIDE list at the selected bird.
The BIRD GUIDE includes a full bird list of 986 species with individual bird pages. The BIRD LIST has functions to open the Bird Page, Play the Sound or view the Distribution, direct Add to List or Add/Edit to list, view and compare Similar Birds, and open the Field Guide Page. The bird list also supports dual language display for any two of English, Afrikaans, German, French, Portuguese, Dutch and Scientific names.
The BIRD PAGES include illustrations, distribution maps, photos, bird sounds, Roberts Field Guide 2 text and the full Roberts VII text.
IDENTIFICATION uses your location, habitat, bird shapes and plumage to shortlist possible species for identification. You can also identify bird sounds, nests and eggs.
SIMILAR BIRDS loads a list of birds similar to that selected for comparison and identification. COMPARE BIRDS displays the bird pages side by side for direct comparison.
MY LOCATION is an interactive map for generating bird lists and locating birding sites. You can use your current location or drop a pin for a map location, or open a birding site description and bird list.
MY LISTS is a personal list manager that includes a life list and sub-lists that report to your life list. Sighting details include place, date, GPS co-ords and sighting notes. You can also backup your lists to Google Drive, and export to SDcard.

We love this app. It is such a useful tool when birding, and it works offline for those trips to the middle of nowhere. It has the same beautiful illustrations that the book has, but it also has photos, which sometimes helps a lot to identify birds. There is also a lot of additional wording with extra info on each species, similar birds, distribution, your own lists, and, of course, bird sounds. We inly wish we had the same app for other fona and flora.

Had a problem with registering the app on my second device, but I was assisted, and the problem was resolved. Great app overall!
★★★★★
Fantastic app, well worth purchasing! I love the Roberts app, it's very user-friendly, has very comprehensive information about the birds found in Southern Africa, and has loads of different functions. I find it a very easy way to keep track of my sightings, and I find the bird call recordings very useful. I had a minor issue with the app when I swapped to a new phone, and their team resolved my issue very quickly. I highly recommend this app to anyone interested in birding!
★★☆☆☆
My app has been working perfectly ever since I bought it, about 18 months ago. Today I did the update to Roberts 2, and now it doesn't hold me sightings. I can tick the sighting, but when I go out and come back into the app, it has not saved the record. I have "multiple sightings" selected as well as the setting for "report to my list". Also, I cannot edit a sighting. And I cannot select a sighting list per bird, (I am clearly missing something). This app is not functioning at all.
