In 2008 iBird broke new ground as it turned the iPhone into a field guide app that identifies birds and plays their songs. Featured in Apple’s television commercials, it started a revolution that made iBird the most respected birding app in the world.
** NOTE If you would like to try out iBird at no expense, check the newly released iBird LITE Free Guide to Birds of North America. It contains all the features of paid iBird Ultimate, but includes just 50 species. And it’s completely FREE. **

Latest reviews of iBird Hawaii & Palau Guide app for iPhone and iPad
While I am glad iCloud has been made available for data storage, I am disappointed that it is at the expense of Dropbox being available for storage. I have room in drop box but not in iCloud to store iBird data. Since Dropbox is no longer available I will no longer be able to store my data. Is there a way to give the app user a choice of either for storage? Thanks for making such a great app!
I bought this the day it came out because coincidentally it was the same day I arrived in Hawaii. The app is all you expect if you have used ibird and such. I just wish I could have it only list birds for a particular island and also just show endemics.
Im really enjoying this app. Instead of a guidebook, everything is here in the app! Searching by location or traits has helped me figure out what I was looking at so I could share with others. Building a favorites list is a great way to keep track of what Ive seen, so I can tell my birder friends when I get back home.
This is absolutely the best resource for birds of Hawaii on the market, be it book or app. The free addition of the island of Palau is amazing. Thank you iBird.
Ive been searching for a books or apps that cover birds of the Hawaiian islands and have been very disappointed. But thats all changed with iBird Hawaii Guide to Birds. The illustrations are gorgeous and there are hundred of photos but my favorite feature is the search engine for identification. After using it for a week Im beginning to learn how the birding experts think which is very cool. The addition of Palau is very welcome as I have heard of this island and the bird life there is supposed to be incredible. After playing with the app and learning about Palau I pan to visit. Im using iBird Journal along with this app to create checklists of species Im likely to encounter on Maui. So Ill report my results when I get back from my vacation to Maui next week.
