Daily Bird - the beautiful bird a day calendar app

Have enjoyed this app since inception. Assuming it’s no longer supported by the developers? It’s been a 5-star app - now down to 1.

I love Daily Bird and have had it for years but lately I have frequently had to uninstall and reinstall it because it freezes. What’s up? Otherwise it’s a 5*. Please help. Thank you

I’ve reported this before and had no response from developer. For several months now this app has stopped responding to touch on my iPhone SE (iOS up to date). I deleted it, then downloaded fresh copy, and still not responding. This is disappointing—I’ve used it daily for several years and like it a lot... when it’s responsive. Wish I could find a fix.

Love this App. Hope to see it fixed soon.

Ap has not updated since Thursday, June 18, 2020 (3 days). Deleted and redownloaded still not updating.

It was a good app but now appears to have been abandoned. Too bad. Update: It appears to be working again — wish the developers would update & not with a subscription.

Some days it works just fine, other days it locks up once you load the description of the bird, and won’t refresh and must be rebooted. Love the birds and the facts, but never know when it will work properly.

Doesn’t download birds pics anymore since I.OS 13. Clock work well. Can this problem be fix ? Thank you (Give a 5 stars but 2 only now until problem solve)

Love this simple app. I open it daily to enjoy one species & to learn a few new details about a feathered beaut. I think I’ve had the app for maybe 5 years and it has yet to disappoint. It did screw up Anna’s Hummingbird once, and showed a Northern Waterthrush while describing the Louisiana Waterthrush, but over so many years that’s no biggie.

*** TROUBLESHOOTING*** Suggestion: If your Daily Bird app stopped working (e.g., if it’s not showing or not updating the daily photo and/or the screen looks frozen), try this: DELETE the app and then REINSTALL it. That completely fixed all the issues I was having with it (iPhone 7plus). ***REVIEW*** I started with some troubleshooting info as I saw some other users were reporting problems. However, please do not think the app is buggy. It’s not. I’ve had it for at least 2 years, and that was the one and only problem I’ve experienced. And that was easily remedied. In fact, I want to send a huge THANK YOU to the developers of Daily Bird! I downloaded it a couple of years ago and immediately fell in love. But more remarkably, I love and use this app today as much as I did when I first got it! No other app comes anywhere close. I was fortunate to find this app just as I was beginning to watch birds, and I’ve learned a tremendous amount using this. It’s features are outstanding! My favorite ones are Spectacular photos - super crisp and engaging, closeups showing lots of details. And there are a LOT of them. You won’t see any repeats for at least a year, and even after that, there won’t be many. (Note: Most, though certainly not all, photos are of species found in the US. Given that I’m in the US, that works well for me, but YMMV.) Key information - Clicking on the photo reveals the bird’s common and scientific names, alpha code, and a paragraph providing an overview of the species, e.g., geographical region, type of environment, behavior. It’s the essentials; there is no filler. Daily quiz - Because the above info. is hidden until you click on the photo, you can challenge yourself to ID the bird, provide the name(s), code, region, and/or environment. (The person who added this feature deserves extra kudos! It’s so simple yet extraordinarily helpful.) Closely related birds are often shown on adjacent days, thus facilitating comparisons. For example, several days might be devoted to different types of gulls. However, I’ve never seen more than ~5 days on any one type of birds, so it never gets monotonous or predictable. The standard view of the daily photo shows the current time and date in large type. Clicking the provided link opens the “Bird’s Eye” app (if you’ve installed it) and shows where that species has recently been spotted. ***SUGGESTION TO THE DEVELOPERS*** A parallel app that provides a bird song a day AND offers a self-quiz like this app does likewise would be phenomenally useful, especially to those of us struggling to learn bird songs! (Although because you would need to hide any images or other identifying information until the user clicks to reveal them, it wouldn’t accomplish the same thing to just add bird songs to the Daily Bird.) Thanks for considering this, and for all of your hard work!
