It'd be good if when you use the back button to return to the search page your last search was still there. It'd save a lot of retyping. Also there's no history of the birds you've recently looked at.

Very useful app. Especially the sound files. Helps to jog memory and avoid confusion over similar species.

Search doesn't really work e.g. a search for "finch" would only find "finch"- not "gold finch" or "bullfinch"

A good app with lots of british birds. However i feel that the birds need a little description rather than the current facts we get like colours and locations as these tell us very little. Overall a good app though and definately helps me identify some birds but as i said a description would help me identify more birds
