Newman's Birds Southern Africa

I dislike this app. It is not user friendly and various things seems to not work. I cannot play any sounds for example. I really should not have purchased this app and wish I could get a refund.

This app, while having many appealing features, can only be described as a beta (trial) version in view of many glitches and repeated crashes. More work needed.

I have recently downloaded this app and find it very clear and helpful. I know the books quite well and wanted this for quick reference when out and about which is fulfilling that purpose. The service received on a query I had was also very good and very helpful. For learning and recognising the birds it is very good.

This is a nice app after all the bugs have been removed, at last! A different approach than other apps by grouping birds by visual appearance to make identification easy and quick.

App crashes every time I open it.

Enjoying the app very much. How about upgrading so that a field recording of a bird song can be "Shazam" ed against the bird song data base to assist with identification.

Finally got it up and running .

I'm glad to say after a few glitches with logging sigtings ofline. I'm very happy to say the app work fantastic now and I will use it every time

Works offline now, but now the location doesn't work, even if online.

What's up with the update? Lifelist doesn't work anymore, serious glitch please have a look asap

I really love the app but now location isnt working and my life list keeps booming out when I try to go on it even when I'm online

It is not a simple use app, but once you get to know it, it is easier. 1. It will be great if the key was on Afrikaans names. 2. A simple search to find "Loerie" does not return all species. 3. Would it be possible to have a feature where I take a photo of un unkown bird and it can do a lookup?

Its says you have over 900 birds but my app only have about 600??? Why advertise is accordingly then I would rather have bought Roberts! 3 birds this weekend alone I cant find on my app!

Bought app and no longer opens after barely a week:(. Only a pop up saying I should download whole app first appears but no option to that.

Version 1.10 of App crashed. Developer responded promptly and fixed. New version downloaded and works fine. Thankyou.

After the most recent update I get the same problem as Des, told I have to download the COMPLETE app again, but unable to do so! This is NOT impressive and needs immediate attention! Very good, very comprehensive (photos and calls as well as drawings and description), very user friendly, quick and easy to use in the field. Pity the publishers didn't bother to notify those who registered to be notified when the app became available on Android.

Hi there. I just payed R239.99 and downloaded the app on my Samsung S5, but when i try to open it a message pops up stating that it is reccomended that I download the entire app and then kicks me completely. Can you please assist.

Like Aubrey, I get the message that I haven't installed the full app, even after reinstalling. Plse help urgently, going on birding trip

Battle to run updat

Just purchased and downloaded the app. I cannot get the bird calls to work on my Samsung mobile. A number of common species also appear to be missing - all a bit disappointing. Mike 11/09/2017. Sorted out the bird calls and the app is working very well now. Thanks for very prompt service and help.

The app is great and very easy to use with the simple directory with feeding habits and the illustrations are of a good quality, however I tried many times to search for a species and simply get a notification to try a different name it's a bit disappointing.. I feel that the search bar should bring things up related to what your looking for so maybe a bit of work can be given there to make the search bar a bit more responsive and accurate so that when birding to find a bird should be a couple of seconds and not needed to go through all the birds in that category to find them, other wise a great app well done guys!!!

This app is unusable on my phone... At the moment....... , it crashes every time I try to add something to the life list, the sounds do not play and no matter what you search for it tells you to try another name... VERY frustrating! Same errors remain even after uninstalling and reinstalling twice... It even took a number of tries to install each time as it would get half way and crash. Very slow to load bird data too. I have a Sony Z5 compact .............................................................................................................. .. .. Update : happy to wait for the update to fix the problems Update : thanks for the update which has fixed the problems on my phone!

I like it a lot! Cheap, affordable and very useful. There are a few species in my other books that I cannot find here. Any specific reason why. Please help me reset/find my username and password...????

The app is very intuitive and easy to get around - well done for making it so quick. It's great that you can add to your bird list when offline.

At Last an app that's built according to the bird identification course I've done and Newman's field guide. I prefer this app above Roberts or Sasol apps.

Good App, but not enough detailed illustrations to indemtify birds and not easy to navigate through the app. Please can I ask for a refund? Have only used it for less than 24 hours

I am trying to create my online account, but it tells me that my password is incorrect. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

The best African birding app out there, just like the physical book.

Good day this app sucks no after service to help people this app does not work properly and the staff does not help or even come back if you have a problem

Life list is not really useful as you can add the same species multiple times.

If I compare this app to other similar apps, this ons does not even come near it. Definitely not worth the money!

Worth every cent. Thank you to the developers for a great app.

Tried the Lite version first. Very user friendly and has a nice up-to-date feel about it. Well done!

I really like this app. Being a long time Newmans field guide fan, I find the app intuitive and easy to use. The quality of some of the pictures is disappointing.

Absolutely love this app- simple interface but so much content and great pictures
