BirdWatcher's Digest magazine review, December 2011.
"The Peterson Birds of North America app has given itself a delicate mission: to preserve the integrity and ease of use of the 75-year-old granddaddy of modern printed field guides and to do so without getting all sentimental or stodgy about it. It succeeds pretty well."
-----

More detail than any other mobile bird guide, with information from 8 Peterson Field Guide books, including the best-selling guide to birds in print, Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America.

Better than my book
I have tried or researched all of the bird apps and this is my favorite. I appreciate that the developers put real thought into the usability of this guide on iOS, and in this regard Peterson's and iBird are the top of the heap. However I greatly prefer Peterson's for several reasons: the main screen is organized into useful groups of similar birds, making it quick to use; and the app retains the strengths of the paper Peterson guides, with good illustrations (much more useful than photographs) of similar birds on the same page with lines pointing to important field marks. It is better than my paper field guide in that it includes vocalizations, and range maps are more immediately accessible. Great work!
Fantastic!
This app is amazing. The user-friendly interface makes it one of the most useful of the birding apps currently available, and the pictures, replete with identification points, are second to none. I am a long time birder and early adopter of nearly every North American birding app and I can honestly say that Peterson Birds is the one I turn to most often.
Good but needs work
Love the concept and overall I am happy. I have not seen the problems and shortcomings earlier reviews point out which tells me developers are listening and improving. Number one problem is not having a shortcut to record a sighting when you do a text search from home screen menu?!?! So I see a pine warbler, I already know what it is and want to record it so I use search, find the bird and I have all the info but no sighting or even a checklist option. I need to try and figure what category the bird would be in (easy enough 80% of the time but a real bear the rest of the time) and add to list from there. Clumsy. Also you cannot change the year in the sighting entry page. So I can't add sightings from my hard copy life list to this app. Really?!?! No control of the date? But I can add s sighting in the future with not so much as a warning. Weird. I have high hopes though. Finally it's crazy that when you record a sighting, the app does not add the species to you lifelist automatically, you have to remember to check it off manually. Weird.
