NABU Vogelwelt Vögel Bestimmen v8.3.1
Sunbird Images OHGAbout this app
Developer Description
315 birds of Germany + identification boards, maps, ID function + birds in 3D
The fully functional, free basic version of the new NABU-Vogelwelt app replaces the previous NABU-Vogelwelt app, but includes 80 additional bird species and a host of new features. Each species has its own identification chart. These are the app's special highlight, as they consist of cut-out photos that are almost indistinguishable from the best bird drawings, yet reveal much more detail. The charts show the typical plumage of each species, with the most important characteristics labeled directly on the charts. Distribution maps for all 315 bird species, as well as a search and updated identification function, are already included in the free basic version.
You can use the app to create observation lists and export them for your own use or to participate in the NABU (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) campaigns "Winter Bird Hour" and "Garden Bird Hour." These nationwide reporting campaigns, held in early January and mid-May, are aimed at all nature lovers. By participating, you will help record trends in species populations and initiate necessary conservation measures.
The basic version of the app can be expanded through subscriptions. Thanks to the proceeds from these expansions, the app and its basic functions can be offered free of charge. A further portion of the proceeds from in-app purchases goes towards NABU's work to protect nature, especially native birdlife.
The free basic version (1.2 GB) includes:
• Detailed information on 315 bird species
• 1,400 images in 315 identification charts with unique, cut-out photos

Helpful to find a bird 🐦 you saw or like. Nicely arranged, helpful pictures and information. Also ird songs are available in many variations. The support is friendly and new features are to be seen soon.
This generally is a great app. The last update, however, was a user ripp-off. With the update, all my in-app purchases disappeared without any information. They had been one-time purchases, and now the system apparently changed to a monthly/yearly subscription without me being able to use my one-time purchases anymore. Update 2023-06-07: The developers respondet. The issue with the purchases could be solved by uninstalling the app, restarting the phone and reinstalling the app.
Today I had to uninstall and than install it again becouse it wouldn't open. It just showed the start screen and than "Download is not posdible..." I don't know if it was trying to update or what. Now after uninstall and install it looks ok. We'll see till when:)
Annoying: Call recognition costs substantial amount of money, but doesn't work. A) Selection is limited to 5 seconds. B) As soon as the button to analyse is tapped, the app resets. C) Also, there is no way to save the audio file to analyse at another time later. Developers seem to expect users to always have full network coverage available to be able to determine bird species in real time while out and about. Ridiculous. Two stars only because the rest of the paid-for functions work ok.
