About this app

eBird Mobile makes it easy to record the birds you see in the field, and seamlessly link these observations with eBird--a global online database of bird records used by hundreds of thousands of birders around the world. This free resource makes it easy to keep track of what you see, while making your data openly available for scientific research, education, and conservation. eBird Mobile is the only app that passes information directly from the Android device to your eBird account on the web.

- Full global taxonomy based on The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World.

- Checklists customized for your location and time of year, showing most likely species based on eBird data.
- Real-time feedback on whether a sighting is rare in the area.
- Quick entry tools to make note-taking faster than ever before.

A decent app. The usages is great but the app can use some refinement. Often lagging and slow to fetch information. It is far less usable than the web, like why can I only add images on the web. Same issue with subspecies, only on the web. Adding easy way to mark sexes and pairs should not be a difficult thing to add as well.

Can't submit my checklist, it just says that there was an error. I wish I knew what's wrong so I could fix it and submit for the Global Big Day before the deadline, but I have no idea what's wrong, there's no email or phone for assistance. I figured out through google that it was the travelling distance (>100km), I know it's for accuracy reasons, but why have travel option and GPS, if the app can't sync where I entered which bird? It would have been 5 stars but this issue is very frustrating.

Such a useless and buggy app. Barely loads anything and when it does it's constantly "updating eBird" every time I search anything. Gets stuck determining my position, doesn't ever find it. I have to literally delete all the data and log in again every time I want to use it because it gets stuck in this feedback loop. Pointless.
