An editorial reading of the saved reviews
People 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.

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
Often, the birds that I record are described as being found in south Asian or Hawaii and I live in Pennsylvania. Very disappointing.
