Where is the data??? Paid and installed it but it jst sits on home logo screen. A search pops up bird names but any result pick causes program to fail. Please fix!!! This is ridiculously undertested.

Good could be better Excellent app for pictures calls and call backs. Could improve the list feature to allow you to go to the birds page and as a sort of quicklink or favorites. Also typo on the confirm deletion screen for removing individual birds from list.

Backups I have a long list on My List but just found out you cannot backup the list. When the phone or simm card fails I will lose My List. So I need to write down the list so it is not lost during a failure. The My List is worthless until there is a backup feature. Otherwise it is a great application.

Ok App but Long ways to go Sibley is known for great bird books, so when I saw they had a app I jumped on it, but after you install it on my Xoom I soon found out I needed to go to their web site and download the data files on there. Not a big deal but shouldn't have to do it. After you install those files than it tell you that you need to download more files, so you spend another 15 min downloading more files. After you have everything downloaded and install it's a excellent app, the first app that allow you to pick your location for faster more reasonable searches. This app doesn't seem to work well with a tablet in landscape mode, the text is funky and the pictures are very pixelated. As you expect with a Sibley product it comes with tons of info about each bird, with maps and relative pictures. Just be warned you get this app, that it's not very a very user friendly install at all. Until they fix this issues with their download and the pixelation I can't recommend this app. Get the iBird app, much much better than this.

Android's best bird app Beautiful but dated artwork but constant FCs and limited search/UI. Expensive but way better than ibird pro. Hoping for a cheaper regional edition soon?

Terrific Guide Runs great and is a helpful guide. I have Sibley's books but I don't always carry them so this is a great tool.

Inconsistent I love the convenience of this app. Great descriptions! songs and calls are a major perk. The downside is the app often freezes after I open to the main menu. My husband has the app and doesn't seem to have this problem.
