About Kea
Get to know birds from all over the world with this one-of-a-kind app. Kea is named for a parrot that learns through play, and us birders are not so different; the fastest and most fun way to learn to recognize birds is by playing! Kea has by far the largest selection of species, photos, and recordings ever assembled in a birding app, with more than 6,500 species from around the world (and more being added each day). Play levels to improve your skills in specific regions, with specific types of birds, or browse and play with the world's spectacular bird diversity.

I would rate this 5 IF the images were better. Sometimes they are stretched so it's very difficult to identify the bird. And, in the coming region (Africa) at least one photo is wrong. A Red-billed firefinch is among the African firefinch.
