Chirp! Bird Songs & Calls USA App Reviews

This is a total ripoff...it contains fewer than 300 species for continental USA when a reasonable subset should include 600 or more species. This sort of junk gives Apples App Store a very bad name. Is there no quality control at all? If you are a serious birder, dont waste your time or money. I would have rated it at zero stars if that was an option.

I love to just turn on this app and listen to the birdcalls, stopping sometimes to look and see what they are. Through the long winters in Alaska, there were a few birds around, and I miss hearing birdsong.

I am not a professional birder, but this app is a link to the incredible lives of birds. I have been able to identify birds that otherwise would have been anonymous sounds, and just running through the songs refreshes the pleasure of discovery and keeps the delight alive. Simple, intuitive, charming, knowledgeable without being overwhelming, this app is useful and beautiful and worthwhile in every way.

My husband and I have enjoyed this app immensely!! We use it in the backyard, on iconic a, vacations, and when we go hiking. Now, with the update its even better than it already was!!!

Ive had this app since it first came and use it a lot!! Ive also learned to recognize some birds by their songs and from the pictures... Great job!! Keep improving!!

Great for kids to learn

I use this app all the time, especially to help identify birds through their songs. Its super easy to use and covers more birds than youd think!

This is an excellent app

Works great while in the field. Regions could be refined

This app s smartly designed: you can select a region of the USA to have it filter by bird species there, and in the subsequent lost you can sort by name or by commonness. When I did that for my region it was spot on for the most common birds. It was fantastic to then just tap through the top dozen to find the birdsong I had been hearing outside. Easy and pleasing interface, from sky blue background to pic and info that pop up for each entry with links to both the Wiki and the Cornell birding website for more info (this latter features more recordings of the birdsong, more photos, more info). I can hardly wait to travel to another part of the States to test out the app in a new region!

The quiz helps develop identification skills.

High quality sound, search feature, short explanations... What more could you ask for?

I got this app to study songs and calls but the organization is very annoying. Group classifications are either too broad or too specific. There are no group-specific quizzes (i.e. warblers, sparrows, shorebirds, etc.) and while you can make custom quizzes, you cant save them to do again later. This leaves me with the tedious task of checking each individual warbler species over and over. I suppose its good for basic use, but to a birder it is frustrating.

One of my go to apps camping and at home!

With both pictures and audio of bird calls this app is really terrific. It has helped me identify several birds in my backyard. Highly recommend!

Helps me identify birds by their calls.

Great site for beginners to learn basic bird calls. You can choose from a list and make your own list of favorite birds. My kids and I like to quiz each other on the different birds we hear in yard. Best site Ive found yet

I am delighted with this app. I have used it to teach my grand children about birds. They love it as well!

My grandkids start when they are tiny learning the birds and their sounds. They can identify several bird songs when we are outside. I love this app!

Great teaching and learning tool! Also irritates the birds when thy hear a rival!
