[2012-06-22] Jim: Yard Bird This may be a wonderful app on an iPad, but Android implementation is lacking as is support - the last straw was filling out the "contact us" form, clicking "continue" to the next page and getting "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond (10.122.159.2:25)." On returning to the previous page, all entered data was lost - gee, let's do it all over again! Issues encountered included hangs at splash screen, hangs at updating data base, hangs at synchronizing database, etc. Eventually, mounted SD card as a disk drive, deleted both Lite and Plus folders and attempted a reinstall. Wouldn't you think that a proper uninstall program would do that automatically? Nah! I give it 3 stars since the Lite version showed promise and the 3rd reinstall is finally (glacially) updating its 234 birds. Suggestion: Feature the Installation FAQs more prominently and include instructions on deleting left over folders and files since this is not an intuitive process for most users. Better yet - write a proper uninstall program, include install FAQs on the download screen and provide a timer on the splash, etc. screens to indicate whether or not the program has crashed. |

[2012-06-07] Laura: Very few birds, can't search by region. I had a very high hopes for this app and was excited to snag it for. 99 instead of 9.99. I feel like I wasted my money. There are very few birds in the list and they are not separated by region or species. It's just an alphabetical list. The only reason it got 2 stars from me is because the bird calls it does have are excellent. It didn't have what I was looking for, I would be really angry if I had wasted 10 dollars on this. As it is I wish I could have my 99 cents back... |

[2012-06-06] Joe: Droid X ...Superb App! I downloaded iBird Yard Plus several days ago, and I must say I am duly impressed! The downloading and syncing was flawless (I chose the "sync all" option) and was completed in about 5 minutes. The first thing I did was to sit on my back porch and try out the "call" feature. I chose the Carolina Wren call and I was utterly amazed that in less than 30 seconds I had two wrens on my porch within 3 feet of my chair. I have tried this several time since with complete success. Learning the "search" feature is a little tricky and I have found that the descriptions must be very accurate, particularly when it comes to size. Obviously there's a learning curve here. I am completely satisfied so far and most especially with the $.99 price. So much so that I just downloaded iBird Pro to take advantage of the $2.99 anniversary price! Will review it in another post after I have had time to check it out. |
