Behold, the most comprehensive and awe-inspiring fixed-price birding app for the iPhone, has undergone a stunning transformation! iBird Ultimate has risen to new heights with the addition of the 2019-2020 American Ornithological Union (AOU) standard, making it a true birdwatcher's dream. It is now 100% compatible with iOS 16 and Silicon-based Macintosh. It boasts a vast database of 967 species of birds in North America, 343 species from the United Kingdom and Ireland, 228 species found in Hawaii, and 169 bird species from the enigmatic island nation of Palau. But this is not your ordinary digital field guide, for iBird Ultimate has an incredible new feature that will leave you breathless. iBird Photo Sleuth is powered by artificial intelligence using a neural network, which enables you to identify any bird from any photo you take or upload. Imagine the possibilities! With just a snap of your iPhone or iPad camera, you can unlock the secrets of the winged creatures that soar above us. iBird Pro is a birding encyclopedia at your fingertips, with more information on each species than in any app. And that's not all, for iBird Ultimate offers both photographs and field-marked illustrations for every species. What's more, it has composite illustrations that highlight the important identification markings of the bird family, something that photographs cannot do. But fear not, as iBird Ultimate also includes multiple photos of every species of bird - including the male, female, juvenile, and subspecies - so you can see how they appear in real life. But the real magic lies in Percevia™, the only parametric birding search engine that can turn anyone into an expert birder, with over 35 characteristics that can be searched, such as body color, GPS location, habitat, bill shape, and song type. The beauty of iBird is it always gives an answer; no more “bird not found” messages. Another unique feature of iBird Ultimate is that no internet connection is required to use iBird Pro in the field, making it the perfect companion for birding adventures. And now, with its consolidated architecture, iBird Ultimate’s default North American database can be supplemented with databases of other countries, such as Hawaii or the United Kingdom. You can instantly switch between them inside the app, making it easier than ever to explore the world of birds. But that's not all! iBird Pro offers a range of features that will elevate your birding experience to new heights. With Birds Around Me (BAM), you can see just those species within a radius surrounding your GPS location. Time-of-Day lets you search for birds by activity levels during the day or night, dawn, dusk, and more. And let's not forget Owls of Mexico, which includes illustrations with field marks, range maps, songs, and calls for 16 remarkable Owl species. So, what are you waiting for? Version 13.2 of iBird Ultimate is waiting for you, with 38 new illustrations just waiting to be discovered. The birding world will never be the same again!

This app has been abandoned for three years. I originally paid $30 for it. I had to fight tooth and nail to get access to IBird pro after they abandoned this app. Then they switched IBird pro, a paid app, to a forced subscription about a year ago. They had no grandfathering in - which is what every other developer has done when they switch to subscription. I don’t know why they revived this app, but I do not trust them and implore you not to waste your money on this deceitful developer.

I’ve always had a fascination with birds, and even as a young man had field guides that were very useful nevertheless, I always came up a little short in learning what I really wanted to learn about birds. For example, I always wanted to be able to identify them by their song and I was never able to do that. Now with iBird Ultimate I’ve already begun to see birds, hear birds, and then listen to the sound in the app and memorize it making me now able to finally begin to name birds just by hearing their song excellent guide; highly recommend.

Playing sounds, the app always starts with top-most sound regardless of which is selected. Not acceptable in some circumstances. Has lost personal notes with update. Overall a great app, despite bugs.

At the top of the splash screen, the word “test” appears and the program won’t load. Someone messed up big time. Please fix it. You made us pay multiple times for multiple versions already.

Wonderful birding app. I have recommended it to countless folks over the years. It’s especially compelling to the young bird enthusiasts and those just becoming acquainted with the avian world. A must have app for any nature lover at a steal of a price. I love my bird books and this app is a multidimensional companion to them. Happy birding!

I always come back to a bird when I need to identify an unknown bird. The app has a few shortcomings, but it is, nevertheless, very useful. I just regret that the publisher has chosen to make it a subscription app from now on.
