User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★Love this soooo much!
Hearing a bird and are clueless as to what it is? Merlin will listen and tell you. I am able to identify so many birds by song now. Thank you 🩷
★★★★★Love this app
I love learning what kind of birds I am hearing
★★★★★Simply the best
Better than all the rest
★★★★☆Something is not quite right
I love Merlin and use it all the time, but since the update, the sound ID has issues picking up birds. The bird could be right nearby and still reads “listening.” It is quite slow. Not sure what has changed. Other than that, I love it.
★★★★★Linking sounds to birds has unlocked my awareness
I live by a large lake for a couple of years and have year round and many migrating birds. I heard lots of song but many times could not quite make them out visually . Dont carry binoculars in a bathing suit. Associating sounds to birds has made a huge difference in my knowledge of whats around me. Wonderful, actually useful, app. Cheers
