App got me interested in birding!
Super friendly community <3 This app got me interested in birding! It teaches me cool stuff and its super friendly, and fun :) The species guide is really developing my knowledge, and i love seeing cool new birds from round the world!

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds Iā€™ve seen and heard while Iā€™m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. Itā€™s great to collect badges and to review my ā€œlistsā€.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you arenā€™t on it, why not??

My favourite app
As a young birdwatcher who was always keen to be apart of a community but never seemed to find one, my problem was solved downloading this!!! Everyone is so friendly and just as excited to see birds as me šŸ˜

Work together with community
Been loving using this app to log my bird sightings and work together with community members to identify different birds. I've already learned a lot since I started about a month ago!

Very Wholesome App
Joined this app with a new interest in watching birds to help me find out what I was spotting. The community is very active in helping identify birds which is great and everyone is very kind so itā€™s just a nice wholesome community. I would definitely recommend this for any bird spotter šŸ˜„

Great app for bird lovers
I love this app! Itā€™s a wonderful way to track birding sessions, and also connect you with fellow birders. I also really like the unidentified bird section, itā€™s a great community tool to help figure out what a never-before-seen bird is!

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so itā€™s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. Itā€™s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. Itā€™s like a real life PokĆ©mon go.

Birding and wellbeing app
Birda is an excellent platform to share your love of Birding and is a great tool of encouragement for a Birding Beginner like me. Birda has a very kind and supportive community of Birding enthusiasts. For me BIRDA is not only a BIRDING but also a WELLBEING App.

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!
