Huge size, but it's a must have for bird lovers in HK. Sometimes I wish the pictures could be a bit clearer for larger screens. I also wish some minor info could be updated, but understand it could be a huge travail given such amount of info.

i love this app but it doesn't seem to work on Android 9 anymore! I would be willing to pay money for this app if it meant it worked again/brought an expanded catalogue of birds & media
