Comments on Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab for Android

★★★★★ Love to sit outside use identify feature to find what birds are singing near me. So neat.
★★★★★ Immediately identifies birds even with only a few seconds. So easy to use! Love to know what birds we have visiting.
★★★★★ Love this app, it is so easy to use and so good at identifying birds. I also enjoy' bird of the day' when I open the app!
★★☆☆☆ This used to be such an easy app to use to record sightings, but now they updated it that you have to submit an bird checklist for each sighting. It takes so long and doesn't make sense if I am just trying to record that I saw one bird. Import my data to bird, that's fine, but please bring back the old interface...
★★☆☆☆ Used to be amazing but has just suddenly stopped identifying birds. Tried to contact customer services but no response.
★★☆☆☆ Just uninstalled because you kept asking me to verify my email address that you just sent me. No emails from you until I activated the lab portion. Did all I was required including password and username. Today I opened the app, won't let me in until I verify me email address that you said again was just sent to me. Again... no email. I'll try again with new download.
