Sibley Birds of North America

★★★★★ Love this app and it is easily my favorite birding ID app. Having the calls is super handy, as is the "compare" feature. Great illustrations and descriptions. Unlike an ID book, I always have this app with me. My one complaint about this app is that the search feature is still awful. I really don't want to take the time to hyphenate species in the field (e.g. "red tailed hawk" returns no results), and you still cannot search by species alpha code. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I've talked to many other users with this complaint, as well. If the search feature worked as well as the eBird search, it'd be a five star app.

★★★★★ Absolutely Fantastic Best field guide app I have ever used. Love it, love the book. Thank you for making such an fantastic app!

★★☆☆☆ This is a great app....and the sale is nice too, but I purchased it at full price a couple of years ago. I just switched to an iphone and have been told that I can't use this app on my iphone. If they have the app in both platforms, and you've paid the sucker price, you should be able to get the app on your new phone, no matter what platform. The website states that you can reload the app on your new phone...both for android and iphone platforms. They should specify that you can't reload from one platform to another.

★★☆☆☆ You have to enable phone, your location and access to your photos to use the app. There is no good reason they don't allow you to disable these offensive permissions. I prefer ibird pro.

★★☆☆☆ Bought this app YEARS ago, now I upgraded my phone to a Samsung galaxy s8 and it wants permission to use my phone as well as my photos & media! Why? Didnt do this before!!! Fix this or I want a refund because it also says I have to setup the eguide app. WHAT EGUIDE APP?? When I got this that never came up, plus I followed the directions to go to my App Manager and nope no eguide as an option to enable. Very disappointed!!!

★★☆☆☆ Bought a new phone, and now when trying to launch the app, it wants permission to 1. Sibley to make & handle phone calls; 2. Sibley to access my photos, media & files on my device. Why would a bird app need to access my personal files? Wasn't required when I purchased it last year. No thanks. I'll use my books so I can have privacy.
