Latest reviews of Birds of Brazil app for iPhone and iPad

Bom, mas precisa melhorar
This app has not received an update for A long time. It NEEDS a "search by location" function as soon as possible, as well as more photos, better sounds for some species, more information in general and a better interface. I have already sent an e-mail to the developer asking for updates, and I suggest everybody to do the same.

Having a digital field guide has improved my birding experiences in North America and so I jumped at the chance to get this app. While it certainly has a lot of nice features, I cant recommend it strongly. Why? Ill be brief. Illustrations are of poor quality, for example, do not show wing patterns on some species where it is important. Functional links are too small to see in the field. Compare with Sibley. Fields are too touch-sensitive, opening whole categories of birds unintentionally. Search function locks up the system, running on iPad, but, so far, not on the iPod. No compare species function. Need a "field book" type set of plates that allow fast comparison of large numbers of species for the person new to an area. In short, use a paper field guide, unless you already know the birds. Save this for songs.
Great application!!!
Thanks for this application. I use the iPad On the field as a Birdwatching guide on Southern Brazil, and have been waiting for this app for a long time. Just perfect!
Perfect
This bird guide us fantastic. All the birds I saw and heard in Brazil were on this app. Great job: Good interface, good drawings, and good recordings!
Great App!
I love this app! I learned more birds like the hooded berryeater,the tiger-heron,the American comb duck,and many other beautiful birds! I cant wait for an update! I hope it has more photos and sounds for the birds in the future! You will love this app. From the rhea to the mango,all the birds are wonderful creations of God! What makes this app a great app is the sounds. Fun!
