This is the best app with comprehensive list of African birds. It's easy to use, having every detail a birdwatcher in Africa could use or require at any time. Yes, easy to carry around compared to hard copy birds' guide books. This is a well thought out and excellent accomplishment. I have been happily using it in the field without problems.

Comprehensive, informative and user-friendly. I particularly like the way you can move easily from 1 species to another. The calls are so useful, as are the photos of similar species that one might have difficulty identifying.

Really helpful, comprehensive and compact. Brings my birding into the 21st century! I don't need to tote the heavy field guides around anymore ☺
