About Sasol eBirds (Lite)
This is a LITE version of Sasol eBirds of Southern Africa and is fully functional but includes ONLY 30 species, compared to 971 species in the full app. If you like the way this app works please check out the full version.
NB: Please note that an additional download of 30MB is required once this app has been installed. Please ensure you use a WiFi connection to prevent additional data costs.
"In southern Africa the Sasol eBirds would undoubtedly be my first choice. The text is detailed, the navigation system is user friendly and the opportunity to listen to recordings of calls and songs is a huge asset. Above all, the superb paintings by Norman Arlott and Peter Hayman have stood the test of time and are more detailed, more accurate and more life-like than anything on offer in other birding apps for the region." — Mark Cocker, author of Birds and People
FEATURES:
- Images, distribution maps and text descriptions of 30 bird species found in the Southern African region.
- Audible calls for 29 bird species
- A "Smart Search" that allows you to easily identify a bird using beak shape, bird size, bird colour and habitat.
- You can select a region of Southern Africa, so that the lists of birds throughout the program display only the birds in your region. Includes GPS detection of your current location.
- "Bird Compare" to allow you to compare two birds on the same screen (including calls).
- A personal bird list that stores your bird sightings saved to the device* and can be exported to your storage card, email or to ebird.org extended record format.
- GPS location tagging of bird sightings.
- View the Bird Index by English or Afrikaans bird names.
* Uninstalling the program will result in the loss of your list, it is recommended that you keep your own master list separate from the program.

Basic bird descriptions, calls, information and visuals, with extras, such as noting location when spotting that make birding fun for beginners

Doesn't work on Samsung Android. Nothing to compare to but menus don't work and functionality is missing. If the behaviour is intentional then this is a very poor app

I have purchased the Sasol e-birds full version on the 29th June 2012 on a Samsung Galaxy phone from the Samsung apps store for R 260.00. With my upgrade to Samsung Galaxy SIII, I have suddenly lost the Application.I Have send several e-mails to Samsung and to Digital Earth but to no avail. The last e-mail from Samsung applications indicates they are sorry but they are unable to assist me. I think it is a very expensive application given the fact that I could only used it for a period of 7 Months!

No hints on start page as how to open app; lists are a real pain in the bum with many bugs; Fiscal Shrike: "Also resembles Fiscal Flycatcher (p368)" p368? no links?; why should this app need phone details?

Lovely app. Going for first bird watching, may buy full version if the bug bites. Close after first run then run again to use lite version version.

Easy-to-use works well on Samsung galaxy s3. Love the bird call feature. Runs entirely without data connectivity once installed. Combines an excellent fieldguide with GPS features and field logging.

If I try and open the app it keeps telling me it's not licensed. So can't use it at all. Make the paid app more affordable! I've paid max R55 for really good games, your price is ridiculous.

Downloaded the lite version to see if it's worthwhile to purchase full edition but it doesn't work. Not a good advert for the full program.

Not sure if you buy this app, if it would be worth anything.
