Excellent bird app. But you are missing one bird! The " great egret"
by Robert Heyes, 2024-10-24
Of no use to me. If I see a small black bird and I don't think it is a blackbird, how do I search for "small bird, black colour" to find out what my options are. That seems like such a logical need and it is the only thing I wanted to do, the reason why installed this app is to find birds by how look they look and what size they are.

Upon opening the app, it told me to allow data collection for its 189 partner groups and to install a google ad tracker on my phone. I just want to identify birds, I immediately backed out and uninstalled. No thank you, absolutely not.
