I love this app and it’s been accurate. If I can’t figure out what bird is calling/singing I pull this out and there it is ! Great App I love this app and it’s been accurate. If I can’t figure out what bird is calling/singing I pull this out and there it is !
The way this app works is impressive. It’s super accurate, and very informative. It highlights the bird as it listens. It Kudos to those who developed it. Fantastic App!

I used Merlin in trips around the world. While most of my trips were not focused on birding, the app really helped me identify birds showed up in the surroundings. Also scrolling through the LifeList at relax is always joyful (a small suggestion is to add thumbnail markers in LifeList as Explore to make navigation faster). Anyway, a great app!

Amazing way to listen and then try to see the birds singing where ever you are. I have learned many things from this app and strongly recommend even for the simply curious.

Okay so I have a lot of birds in my area and I wanted to see what types of birds there are in my neighborhood so I downloaded the app and when I turned it on it straight away gave me so many different birds like the red cardinal, brown headed cowbird, red winged blackbird, and a mourning dove. And there are also a lot of purple martins during summer and I was pretty far away from the bird houses they stay in and they got purple martins straight away! I am so happy that on my first use of this app was so successful! I highly recommend this app for anyone who wants to see what types of cool birds are in your area! Five stars! Best bird app ever!
