  • Stolen Back From Me

    By garlch
    UPDATE: So now you’re offering a paid app again and I can purchase it AGAIN for a lifetime? I already purchased it! Can’t this purchase now be honored since you aren’t just doing subscriptions???? Seriously! First off….my review was apparently deleted! I was one of the people who BOUGHT this app for over $25 many years ago! I can’t believe this company is allowed to STEAL back an app that so many of us already bought! It makes no sense at all. How is this okay??? How can you take back something I paid for and now start charging me monthly fees to use it?!

  • Highly Satisfied

    I’m more of a casual bird watcher, but this app has been an enormous help in identifying birds. Whether I’m on vacation or just relaxing in my backyard, I use it often. Years ago, I used to be able to call some owls myself, but now I use this app’s recordings to do it for me. It works great — try it at night in your neighbourhood or a wooded area! Just don’t overdue it, birds are very territorial.

  • No legacy for old subscribers

    This app was great when I paid $20 for it ages ago. Now they won’t grandfather old purchasers in and so you’re forced into subscription model. Garbage business.

  • Absent customer service

    I’ve been an avid user and promoter of iBird for over 10 years but now the app no longer recognizes or sees my lifetime subscription. I’ve called and emailed with no response or help. I’m hugely disappointed. I will NOT purchase this again and will certainly share this with others.

  • Top-Notch but Slightly Confusing

    By KatrineP.
    I do find it a little tricky to search for birds by their markings and color, but that’s likely because I’m not a seasoned birder. Still, the app is so user-friendly overall, and it helps a lot with bird identification through photos and sounds.

  • Not honouring purchase

    By Annoyedtraveller1890
    Update to my previous review: After quite a while, iBird sent a response attempting to justify their taking my 2021 purchase away and forcing a subscription (or a repurchase) on us and offering a free year of their new service. Basically, the response they sent is untruth after untruth. There is no functional way to activate a "Previous Owner" option for a year, so they are not even offering this. As I've been requesting this restoration for months now, their team is clearly not "committed to assisting" me as they said. Nor are they actually "providing continuous service" to users, but exactly the opposite with this new policy. Fine if you decide to move to a subscription service for new users, but to not allow purchased access for those of us who "bought" the service less that three years before is basically a scam. Why should any buyer even trust that you won't do the same thing for an 'improved subscription' or something like that in three years and make everyone repurchase their lifetime subscription? So you not, you don't have my "understanding and continued support." I purchased this app in 2021 and it was sold as lifetime access. This year they abruptly rescinded that and refused to restore the download. They now are asking for $59.99 for the same thing I purchased three years ago, why should anyone believe that they won’t do the same thing in three years, effectively charging $20 (or more) per year for use?

  • Dishonest & do not upgrade

    By Annoyedtraveller1890
    Purchased a few years ago and they have refused to honor that purchase. Switched me to a license without my permission and no longer have access. Other apps charge for new additions but let you keep the original if you don’t want to get the new one. This one doesn’t. Moving to Peterson

  • A Must- Have for Bird Lovers

    I’ve had this app for years, ever since I got my first iPhone. Honestly, one of the main reasons I wanted a smartphone was so I could use this app. I Love being able to compare birds and listen to their songs —it’s a fantastic resource for any birder.

  • No response to emails from developer

    By Kain-Chan
    I deleted the app when they went to a subscription “service” (I purchased the app a few years ago). I once loved this app and it was my go to for using in the field for work and personal use. I reinstalled the app after finding out you could have your previous purchase reinstated. I’ve sent multiple emails and haven’t received a response and my purchase has not been reinstated. If I could give 0 stars I would.

  • Resolved my issue with lifetime subscription

    By 1DoodlePants
    Original review update: I looked through my Apple account and couldn’t find a payment that matched the current lifetime subscription amount. I did find a different amount payment. I don’t know if I made a mistake thinking I payed for a lifetime subscription but I love the app so much I decided to purchase the lifetime subscription to be sure. It is working flawlessly and I’m very pleased. I bought a lifetime subscription in 2012. Every time I need to use it it doesn’t detect my subscription. Customer support never answers my emails. It’s an amazing app when I can use it but useless because I can’t.
