The Most Comprehensive Birdapp
Description (

Roberts Birds is the most comprehensive bird app of South Africa. After downloading the App you have to buy a mandatory Core Version yearly subscription for the app to function. The Core version subscription does not include the image recognition which is an additional yearly subscription. https://www.smartsearchsightings.com/roberts.htm It boasts an award winning identification tool and has a vast source of information: - Over 10000 beautiful and diagnostic illustrations and images of all variants, e.g. immature, males, females, dark and light morphs - Over 2200 comprehensive and clear bird calls - Over 700 comparative plates - The most comprehensive information on southern African birds - Interactive and accurate bird distribution maps, showing the migration patterns per month where applicable. The ID Search function allows you to select your current, or any other location and the birds at that location will be filtered. Over and above the GPS location, you can search by shape, type, colours, size, where seen, bird calls and more. There are 100's of attributes you can choose from, which makes identifying a bird accurate and easy. As a first ever bird app achievement, the resulting bird list is sorted by relevance with the most probable birds matching your search criteria at the top, which makes it extremely quick and accurate. The ability to remove birds from the results is a game-changer. It even has a section for hard to identify birds (LBJ's, etc) In addition to the ID Search function, Roberts Birds contains the most accurate Image Recognition for South African birds. You can upload images from your device or take a photo with the device's camera, which will then be used for the Image Recognition. This function has a 2-week evaluation period. Roberts Birds also offers the most accurate location filter available. You can select current location, location from a map, a country or any of over 1200 South African reserves. You can also log your sightings with trip descriptions, date and notes, which are then indicated as pins on the distribution maps. Sightings lists can be viewed and can even be synced to a website and shared between devices. Roberts Birds also offers a Similars functionality. It not only ranks the similars, it also gives preference to your location selection. When using a location filter, similars at that location will be ranked higher and similars outside of your selected location will be displayed last. No internet connectivity is required to operate the app after it is installed which makes it possible to use the app in the most remote locations. All updates are regular and free. For instructions of how to access older versions of the Roberts apps, please contact support@robertsbirds.co.za}

Very very very unhappy rubbish

Although this app has wonderful images and information, the in-app navigation is shocking. Finding a screen that shows birds of similar species that you can compare at a glance is beyond tricky and when you do eventually find it you cannot click on the individual birds to see more images and info. Trying to identify a bird by looking at the possible options is practically impossible.

Very badly designed, less functional than version 1. Very dissatisfying

I have just come from Kgalagadi and was intrigued by the bird species. Your app was recommended. Just finished going through the app and am very excited with what it has to offer.

The old Roberts 2 bird app was better. This new version shuts down if I switch between 2 bird choices when trying to id a bird. Frustrating

The old Roberts app was much better. This app doesn’t sync, lost my life list and get no feedback or support. Can’t log in and don’t receive the emails to reset password. Getting fire finch app in stead.

I paid for the previous version. Once-off with no subscription. Got a new phone and hey, there’s a new version… I couldn’t sign in, knew it’s subscription based and the developer doesn’t answer my e-mail. Absolutely awful. And this about an app which I really loved and enjoyed.

I personally don’t mind the change to annual fee but the old Robert’s format was more appealing and easier to use for the average consumer in my opinion. The new format it is difficult to get used and not as easy to use. I used to flick through the old one when bored but now I find myself opening the app if I’m really struggling to identify a bird.safe to say I won’t be renewing my subscription unless changes are made to make the app more user friendly

I bought the version before this one for over R500 (once off to own) Now that I’ve upgraded my iPhone, App Store no longer has my version and now I have to pay yearly for this one. Not fair play!

Unfortunately this app is unusable in its present form, cannot get imported lists, missing bird calls and more- the old Roberts 2 App works much better with lists etc - should be withdrawn and fixed before being offered again
