In 2008 iBird broke new ground as it turned the iPhone into a field guide that identifies birds and plays their songs. Featured in Apple’s television commercials, it started a revolution that made iBird the most respected birding app in the world. iBird is now completely updated with new species for 2017 and includes exciting new features.
Whether you are an experienced birder or a beginner, iBird UK Lite is the best way to get started with iBird’s unique technology such as the Percevia™ smart search and Birds Around Me features

What the Experts Say
"If you’re looking for the most expansive digital key, the encyclopedia-like iBird excels. It has the most sophisticated algorithm, incorporates live location, shows search results in real time (with a slide show option) and has the most fine-grained advanced key choices."

Really great app!!!!!!
Really great app!!
I just downloaded the app and I love to go bird watching! So now I dont have to lug around a heavy field guide!!:D
I love this super deluxe IBird Ultimate app I got several months ago as well. I love playing the songs of say, Band Tailed Pigeons, then a few minutes later they show up, because they live in my area but are not often in view. BTW they are HUGE! Then just yesterday I was trying to remember "Osprey". I had like a bit of a stroke about a year ago and have trouble with names still. Sooooo I tried looking by white head Tried hawk Tried eagle Then I remembered the cool feature Mitch Waite put in Ultimate, which allowed me to look up birds by the wing shape and size and there he was! OSPREY. Wowie! (there are of course many other methods of identifying birds built in as well that are really helpful, especially if you have never before seen the bird you are trying to identify.) I played the sounds of the Pileated Woodpecker, also hiding out in my woods, and one swooped down within about 6-8 feet of me and latched onto a small tree trunk at my eye level. I wish I had not said OMG! because I frightened him away. They too are huge and amazing. Thank you Mitch Waite Group!!!!
