Latest reviews of eGuide to British Birds app for iPhone and iPad
Has potential, but its missing the range maps for a bunch of species to the point I wish I could have known about these shortcomings before purchasing the app. Dont bother buying/downloading this one until they fix it. In the meantime, spend your money and phone memory on either professional printed field guides or more complete apps.
New update causes smaller images of the birds on iPhone 6plus - uses 1/2 the screen and cant enlarge. A bug to be fixed.
Just downloaded it. Works great, good sound files, nice distribution maps. Looking forward to using it on my trip next month to Scotland.
