Reviews
This is a fine app EXCEPT that it appears to have a serious bug on my Nexus 6P with Android operating system 7.1.1 (Nougat) The app fills the entire screen from edge to edge and there are no controls for going back, going to the phone's home screen, minimizing the app or closing the app. So, once I open the app, the only way I'm able to escape it is to reboot the phone. Obviously, not acceptable! I have tried all kinds of touching, swiping, prodding and poking and I get no controls, no way to exit the app. I can get to various app pages, such as Home, Introduction, Browse Species, and About Us but cannot escape the app. Please fix ASAP. I have free apps that work without a hitch. This one I paid $9.99 for and I expect better!
Looks cool but it keeps crashing whenever I try to look at pictures of any kind of bird.
Comprehensive and well organized. Great photos with all plumages and morphs covered.
i click on 'browse species' then click on a species and the app crashes every time: im using a samsung galaxy s6 edge. very bad bug, this isnt worth buying let alone downloading
What an amazing app with amazing photos, verbiage, and video. However, it would be nice if we could zoom into photos to see detail. I'm not a spring chicken anymore and am having a hard time seeing close up. Also, it would be nice to stop the app from closing everytime I hit my phone's back button (many apps let you back up using this function instead of the app's back button). I have closed the app so many times which is frustrating. Love the comparisons between similar species, but would love to see a bit more. This is a five...no six...star app if these could be implemented.
Needs the option to allow it to be installed on an SD card and not take up all device memory. Otherwise outstanding.
