App Description

â–  iBIRD 5 INTRODUCTORY SALE - 50% OFF - ENDS SOON - SAVE $15.00 ON IBIRD PRO - NOW $14.99

■ NEW PHOTO CENTER - If you love photography this new feature is going to blow your mind. The Photo Center lets you import your own photos and then add them to a bird species. But it does more. It lets you share them on Facebook or Twitter, or email to friends. You can set up the slideshow so it shows only your photos with the species bird songs playing behind it. We spent 3 months building the Photo Center and we really think you’ll find the functionality outstanding.

â–  PRO has 36 SEARCH ATTRIBUTES, 21 MORE THAN OTHER IBIRD APPS

â–  Over 5 hours of audio bird songs and calls from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

â–  20 MAJOR CHANGES TO IBIRD - SEE WHAT'S NEW

IBIRD PRO 5--the world's best-selling birding app--just got WAY better! This latest version of iBird is now compatible with the new iOS 5 and comes with a host of exciting new features which take it ever further beyond all current birding apps. I'd like to tell you about just a few of the things we did to improve iBird.

â–  THE PHOTO CENTER

â–  UNIVERSAL APP Most importantly iBird is now an official "universal" app meaning it works beautifully on the iPad tablet, filling the entire screen.

â–  CONTENT 445 new photos! And 52 new Illustrations all in true HD 720p resolution.

â–  MULTIPLE BROWSE VIEWS You can now view species in one of four browse views: Compact, Icon, Thumbnail and Gallery.

â–  SPECTROGRAM We developed a special player control to bring a deeper insight to the inner structure of bird songs by allowing you to view the sounds frequency domain.

â–  PHOTO SLIDESHOW We added a photo slideshow to iBird which displays all 2,800 photos randomly while playing their song or call in the background.

â–  Missing In App Purchase back in for Plus to Pro upgrade.

As a standalone iPhone app, iBird does not require an Internet connection for access to the rich media information in its database. This does mean that the application is large, so please be patient when downloading from the iTunes app store.
