Customer Reviews
Brilliant color and excellent sound
The detail captured the photos is great, but having the ability to zoom effortlessly into the detail on an iPad is even greater. The quality of all the bird calls and the variety of calls and songs with locations noted is wonderful. I am really smitten with the overall design, usability, and portability of Audubon's apps in the Apple Store. Congratulations to the staff who worked on this one.
Excellent
One of only a few non business related apps I own. Large app but well worth the memory space required.
