Amazing for someone who just started, love recording and listening back and have already started recognizing the songs in my area :)
This app got me into birdwatching! The sound ID is the coolest tool to have on walks, my appreciation of the nature around me has increased tenfold thanks to Merlin
This app has helped me to learn and remember bird sounds better than anything I had ever tried before.
The perfect app for identifying bird calls! I love that it shows all the birds making their calls actively as it listens. Great for when multiple birds are present. When every other app out there is asking for subscriptions, it's refreshing to see high quality apps like this that don't. Definitely worth a donation if you enjoy it
Amazing app that I have used for years on 3 different continents, the sound ID is extremely useful. Step by Step ID is not very helpful in my opinion if you are looking at species with only slight variations between them like some sparrows, but for a general audience it does narrow it down quite well. We use the sound ID to help with field surveys where there is less visibility of individuals calling, and it is great!
