Bird Jar: Birding Checklist for Android
Great app. Just what i needed. Cannot find Eastern Saw-wing. Should be on the list. Please help.
Cannot delete sightings checked in error. That's pretty basic. Common names are messed up. Example, try to find a White-winged Crossbill. Avoid this app before you put too much time into it.
This app is very easy to use. Occasionally, I have issues when N. American names differ from international names, but these are generally easy to resolve with minimum effort. A link to a desktop equivalent would make me rate this app as 5 stars. I prefer not to store all my bird photos on my phone since there are so many, and they are large files taken with a DSLR camera. Thus, they would presumably use up a lot of storage space on my phone. The mapping part of the app is very good, but it is sometimes difficult to get the "long press" to actually register in order to move the marker. Not sure if that is due to my phone or to the app.
Truly the best life-listing app there is. (But for other lists, I recommend Audubon.)
This is a great app for maintaining lists of identified birds and viewing the lists in various ways. It won't help you identify birds but it is fine for recording sightings. I would give it 5 stars if the method for entering new locations wasn't so painful. It makes minimal use of GPS, and the map where you have to drag a pointer to show the location is too small and can't be expanded. It really does include all of the world's birds though, which is great if you travel. The backup feature is also good.
This app is even better than eBird. You can choose from a checklist and if you don't want a date/location you don't have to put it in. Well worth 99¢. Also, if the developers are reading this, it would be nice if you could pick taxonomies (e.g. ABA) so that the species in your field guides matches the common or scientific name? thanks!

I've been looking for a way to retire my paper notebook and this is it!
The learning curve is short, and there's no better app for keeping track of birds seen; entering old data is ponderous with the location function, but still, this is the best app here.
Brilliant app. I'm in my late 60's and find using tablets difficult. I have a Samsung P-900 and have tried several bird logging apps. As a test, first entry is Alpine Chough. Most apps don't recognise it but yours does. One problem for me is I have so many sightings over the years that when I go back and log them, then finding the location on the map takes me a lot of time. I would be happy if in a future update it is possible to just input Latitude/Longitude into a box (if this then automatically took the location to the map, so much the better even if this meant having to pay for the app).
I like this product - it is flexible and has a lot of readily available references for most common birds.
I love this app because it is very easy to log the birds and has pictures for most of them. It has great bang for the buck. I definitely recommend this app for bird lovers.
I got this for my niece's tablet and she loves it so much that I am buying it for myself. And she is the birder! Great value in this app!
A GREAT birder's app. I'm using it to transfer my life list to digital format from the original index filing cards dating back to the 80s. You've got to love the ease of adding dates or locations at will, or not! Some of my most common birds like the Mallard, &c., have no "first sighting" date or locale. This app is very variable that way. Very well thought out and designed.
I was looking for an app that would provide a bird list for me and my kids. I wanted it to gather date and location easily, and this does. It also allows me to snap a pic of my sighting or record it. That's a bonus. I'm looking forward to using this frequently.
Absolutely love this app! Definitely should have more downloads than it does. Try it out and it won't disappoint!

Errors when attempting to upload or take photos. A nice app for keeping a list though.
