Let's face it if you are a birder and love your iPad there is no perfect iPhone app for you. Almost every publisher puts lipstick on their iPhone interface so they can say it works on the larger iPad screen - the iPad is just an afterthought.

This giant mistake has been solved with WAITE’S GUIDE TO BIRDS OF AMERICA FOR THE IPAD. This app was designed from the very start to take full advantage of the iPad’s beautiful Retina display with a magnificent 10-inch screen and a remarkable 4th generation processor. Here are just a few of the features of this incredible new app:

▶ Percevia (TM) Smart Search Engine. Uses our patented Smart Attribute and Value Elimination (SAVE) algorithm, which results foolproof bird identification.
▶ Portrait and Landscape Modes. Works equally well in portrait or landscape mode.
▶ HD Illustrations. All illustrations are in high resolution: 1200 x 1500 portrait or 1500 x 1000 landscape.
▶ HD Photos. An increasing number of photographs are in high resolution. HD photos have a special graphic icon identifying them so you can zoom in and see the amazing details.
▶ Field Marks. All illustrations have a Field Mark layer, which can be turned on and off. Learn the important identifying marks for specific species.
▶ Topographic maps which show and describe specific feature groups for the head, body and flight.
▶ Advanced Slideshow. Lets you select photos or illustrations, see photos from specific photographers, and control exactly which species you wish to study. Makes a great presentation of your photography portfolio.
▶ My Photos allows you to import your photos and assign them to any species account and can be used by the slideshow.
▶ Dropbox backup for Notes, Favorites Lists and Photos.
▶ Six view modes: standard Compact, Icon, Thumbnail and Gallery and two new modes Large Thumbnail and Large Gallery.
▶ Help Me Identify a Bird Forum. App connects directly to our whatbird.com forum where experts are standing by to help you ID a bird you can't find with the search engine.
▶ Leave Comments on the species pages to share with other birders.
