"As a long-time birder who frequently travels from the US to Europe, this app is indispensable. Carrying the physical 'Svensson' was always a luggage struggle, but having the same elite illustrations and detailed maps on my iPhone is incredible. The audio calls are crystal clear and have helped me identify dozens of species I would have otherwise missed."

Robert H., Retired Architect

"I’m relatively new to birding, and the Identify Assist AI has been my best mentor. I love the 'confusion lists' that help me distinguish between similar species without flipping through hundreds of pages. It’s sleek, intuitive, and the listing tool makes keeping track of my sightings feel like a rewarding game. Highly recommend for any nature lover!"
