I really like Birda
I really like Birda. I also use other birding apps and have Birda with E-bird going at the same time.

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.
