Audubon Birds: A Field Guide to North American Birds

Audubon Birds: A Field Guide to North American Birds

This is why they invented mobile apps.

I have never been thrilled about the scientific apps out there because at the end books were always better or to do calculations pen and paper. This is one of the few that I think the app is better than the book version.

All them pretty birds

Options for identification include pictures of male and females, range, voice, description, and similar birds.
Most birds have songs and calls listed.
You can hear their voices to confirm what you may be seeing in real life.

Imagine if all Audubon books were turned into apps. The access to see, hear, and learn more about the world around you without having to swim through a sea of internet waste would be great.

I hope encyclopedia makers and other scientific publications take a second to copy and improve on these types of apps.

Here's why this is a 100% program...
Pros

  1. You can hear and see the birds
  2. The way it is set up is simple.
  3. You can add your own content.
Cons
  1. No knowing bird types can slow your search
Rating: 10 out of 10 (100%)
