Bird Sounds Identifier Call ID
doubtful ratingPeople get it to find out who is singing outside on a walk, and it genuinely pulls kids into birdwatching. But it often IDs wrong, offers birds from Asia and Hawaii to someone in Pennsylvania because you cannot set your location, and recordings do not save without a connection. On top of that it pushes the paid subscription hard and is nearly useless without it.

About the rating
The gap between storeAvg 4.7 and textAvg 2.27 is huge, the five-star reviews carry almost no detail while the detailed ones are almost all about wrong IDs and billing. Looks like a padded rating, though some genuine love for family walks is real.
