Needs a way to download sightings. This was a great app during a recent trip to brazil. Much easier to deal with than the book, which I also have. but I was sorry to see after getting home that you cannot download your sightings... ie your ‘favorites’. This would be so much better if you could record details of species etc in the field and download it

Nice idea but lacks functionality. Although comprehensive in its scope, this guide has several aspects that must be improved in future updates. The "drawings" are awful in most instances and the text descriptions are lacking any of the detail expected in a serious bird guide. The maps are sometimes hard to decipher also. From a functional point of view the search function does not have a back button meaning that one has to exit the app to reset the full list of species. A further annoyance is that the list itself is very hard to manage with high level groupings constantly opening when trying to scroll up or down. This app is a great start but I would consider it very much a beta version or less of something that could truly be a valuable tool in the field.

Birds of Brazil. Very useful when combined with a local checklist

Crashes at opening. Just downloaded V2.0.3 and it crashes at the opening page.

Kleber de Burgos. The Bird of Brazil (Vs. 1.0. for iPhone iOS 5.1.1.) is a good product and will certainly be of a good help in field, not to mention it's the first and most complete of its kind for iPhone/iPad. The ability to choose from English to Brazilian Portuguese, including names according the Brazilian Ornithological Records Committee (CBRO) are amongst its best features. Nonetheless, it does present some downsides: does not offer song (vocalization) files for a huge number of species (mandatory specially for song birds), and some photographs are really bad (even out of focus). A good example is the Yellow-faced Siskin (Carduelis yarellii), perched on an exotic coniferous tree, shown completely out of focus. I found this very annoying throughout the guide. For some photographs were made outside Brazil, you'll find birds out of their environmental contexts. Yet, if you plan to use this guide also as your checklist, bear in mind it does not offer ways to store data on your lifers (like places, etc.), for this purpose you'll find a single star-shaped icon that can only be set on or off.

Full of errors. It’s shocking and disappointing how many errors are in this, making it nearly useless. Species accounts with blank pages instead of texts, mislabeled illustrations, notes on illustrations that directly contradict text, and wrong species names on illustrations. White-throated Piculet? That’s not even a typo. In general, habitat info is uselessly brief, no mention of bird habits makes it impossible to locate a bird you don’t already know. You can’t enlarge the illustrations but you can enlarge the maps, which is useless. Away from the Atlantic rainforest and Guianan shield you’re better off with an app from Ecuador or Peru, or better yet the Lynx books.

Update. This app was working fine on my iPad. It started crashing today and I found the update. Turned iPad off, updated and it is still crashing after the credits page shows up. I'm leaving for Brazil today. Can you help me?

Perfect companion to the book. I’ve used this app on several trips to Brazil and have found it extremely helpful. When I am in Brazil I use this app every day. Love the enhancement of songs and photographs. Also the coverage of the entire country is great. Since I live in North America, many species that I see in different parts of Brazil are new to me, and this app in combination with printed field guides enables me to have a great chance of getting an identification of a new bird. I’ve used it on at least 5 visits to such varied locations as Belo Horizonte and the coastal range in Minas Gerais; Brasilia and the Capitol region; Cuiabá and Chapada dos Guimarães National Park; Rio and environs; Goiás state; and the Xingu region of Mato Grosso. Highly recommended.

Great App!. I love this app! I learned more birds like the hooded berryeater,the tiger-heron,the American comb duck,and many other beautiful birds! I can't wait for an update! I hope it has more photos and sounds for the birds in the future! You will love this app. From the rhea to the mango,all the birds are wonderful creations of God! What makes this app a great app is the sounds. Fun!

Don’t waste your money!. Used this app to record my bird sightings in Brazil. Three days into the trip the app disappeared. When I downloaded it again all my sightings were gone. Totally useless app.

OK. Not a bad app, but I wish it had more photos and better drawings. My main criticism though is that the song/call feature doesn't seem to work.

Perfect. This bird guide us fantastic. All the birds I saw and heard in Brazil were on this app. Great job: Good interface, good drawings, and good recordings!

Terrible update. After this last update the app stop working on landscape mode on the IPhone 6 plus if you mark a lot of birds the app quits. I wish I could go back to the previous version.

Great application!!!. Thanks for this application. I use the iPad On the field as a Birdwatching guide on Southern Brazil, and have been waiting for this app for a long time. Just perfect!

Disappointed. No where is it mentioned that you have to have internet connection to use this app. This is not the case with other efield guides. In Brazil, I am frequently out of range so the app is not very useful. Will still have to carry the book so would have passed on the app had I known its limitations.

Chip Scialfa, PH.D.. Having a digital field guide has improved my birding experiences in North America and so I jumped at the chance to get this app. While it certainly has a lot of nice features, I can't recommend it strongly. Why? I'll be brief. Illustrations are of poor quality, for example, do not show wing patterns on some species where it is important. Functional links are too small to see in the field. Compare with Sibley. Fields are too touch-sensitive, opening whole categories of birds unintentionally. Search function locks up the system, running on iPad, but, so far, not on the iPod. No compare species function. Need a "field book" type set of plates that allow fast comparison of large numbers of species for the person new to an area. In short, use a paper field guide, unless you already know the birds. Save this for songs.

Missing multiple lists of favorites. It is a shame that an app with such rich and comprehensive content as this one does not feature a “filter by state/location” or at least the possibility to manually create multiple lists of favorite birds. This renders the app almost useless because one has to scroll through 1800+ thumbnails of birds to try to identify one spotted bird. I have written the developers some time ago asking for this simple feature to be implemented but got no answer whatsoever
