Sibley Birds 2nd Edition

★★★★★ Simply the best bird guide app. Has everything you need, great description of the birds, a range map and sound recordings of their calls and songs. Has Regional variations of calls and birds plumage. You can set it on the state you are in which makes it easier because it filters out the ones that you will not see. The artwork truly represents the birds. Yes you can find free and cheaper apps, but they're not going to do you any good out in the field when you're trying to ID a Sparrow!!

★★☆☆☆ This has always been my go-to app for birding. However, I can no longer get it to give me common birds in my location. Used to work like a charm, but now it is a nightmare. Bi have uninstalled and re-installed and even switched phone with no improvement. Yet my husband's runs fine. Ni do t understand and am so disappointed!!

★★☆☆☆ Update - GOOGLE SOLD ME AN OUT OF DATE APP; NO RESOLUTION YET. Unacceptable errors persist. I downloaded 5-25-21 and immediately checked for errors that have been reported for some time. At least three range maps are wrong - Cordillera Flycatcher (shows range of Greater Pewee), Pacific Slope FC (Olive-sided FC), Key West Quail Dove (Spotted Dove). Error on Scarlet Tanager page. Some of the illustrations too dark. Errors a big problem, color an annoyance. Have emailed developer, want fix.

★★☆☆☆ It used to be had the best search tool, now the first smart search criteria that I enter, becomes permanently saved. Using the X at the top and selecting Clear All, does nothing. I have deselected items, I have used the clear button on the bottom of the page. Selecting new features also does nothing. Going to Android - Apps and close application occasionally helps. I am using a Pixel 5, but I have tried the app on both a Pixel 4a and a Samsung Tablet and I have the same problem.

★★☆☆☆ How is it I can enter the word "crow" in the search bar and nothing shows up? The search function is so poor with this app I've abandoned it. If you omit a hyphen, forget about it, the bird won't exist.
