Description

eBird Mobile makes it easy to record the birds you see in the field, and seamlessly link these observations with eBird--a global online database of bird records used by hundreds of thousands of birders around the world. This free resource makes it easy to keep track of what you see, while making your data openly available for scientific research, education, and conservation. eBird Mobile is the only app that passes information directly from the iOS device to your eBird account on the web. Features - Enter bird observations from any location around the world. - Full global taxonomy based on The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World. - Common names available in local languages (e.g., Portuguese names in Brazil or in Portugal). - Checklists customized for your location and time of year, showing most likely species based on eBird data. - Rare species flagged during data entry and on the checklist. - "Record as you go" functionality for incremental list keeping and counting while birding. - GPS enabled location plotting to ensure accuracy. - Map tools that enable selecting from hundreds of thousands of eBird "Hotspots." - Full offline functionality, enabling use in places with limited or no Internet connection. - Trip and Day list functionality that makes it easy to keep track of your species list on a particular outing. - Support for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. - Entire app translated to German, Mandarin, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Turkish, and Dutch.

    I wish I could opt out of installing packs to use this. I can’t get past the pack installing screen because it keeps getting stuck. Should be an option to just use the online features without installing anything for offline.

    I use to love this app but now I can’t use it. It will not track or load a bird pack at all. I’ve done everything I know to do. When it did work it crashed and froze often. Hopefully someone will sort it out.
  • Harder now to add photos

    I used to be able to add photos to my list from my iPhone. Now I have to take a photo and download it to a computer. There is a media button then to add photo. It more complicated than I’m willing to do.
  • This would be great if it actually worked

    I downloaded this app so Merlin would save my daily sightings to EBird as requested in the app. However this app never lets me get past the screen to download packs so it is a brick. Emailed support and no response. Don’t bother with this app. If Cornell wants to continue getting subscriptions and donations, they might want to make apps work or atleast set up a way for us enthusiasts who record such information and save it to a data base easily. Hard to be a citizen scientist when reporting is not an option.
  • Loved the app but…

    I deleted and reinstalled the app. It opened as a new app but when I got to the loading for packs, it froze. I can’t get past this screen and can’t go back either, so I reloaded it and now it won’t let me go past the first infroductory screen! HELP! ——— Correction: Suddenly the checklist won’t open…??!! Something is majorly wrong with this app. I reinstalled it and now I can’t get past the screen the first screen!! What’s going on???
  • Just use the website

    As I entered the app, I signed in. Right there,it brings me to a screen entitled “Pick a Pack”. It was a raw, unmoving screen with an image of pack options on different continents. I tried to pick North America but even touching does not work. I did not get any further. Just use the website.

    Definitely harder to enter data than Audubon but it seems more reliable Please add a dark mode

    I downloaded the app, logged in, picked my language and then it takes me to a screen with a map that says add a pack.i click “browse all packs and nothing happens. I try restarting the app. Still nothing. I even delete the app and reinstall and I still can’t get past the add a pack screen. I hope they fix this glitch because it looks like a great app.
  • Very good!

    The eBird initiative and intent is awesome. It’s well executed and a very “good” app. Some design choices and the fact that is as separate from Merlin is, in my opinion, odd. But nonetheless still very good and I have both.
