IBIRD ULTIMATE Guide to Birds—Identify birds like a pro with the world's most powerful birding field guide app! With over a half-million downloads, both beginning and advanced birders will find iBird Ultimate unmatched in bird identification functionality and ease of use. Look at what ABA magazine had to say about iBird:

Diana Doyle of American Birding Association’s "Birding" magazine, says:
"If you’re looking for the most expansive digital key, the encyclopedia-like iBird Ultimate excels. It has the most sophisticated algorithm, incorporates live location, shows search results in real time (with a slide show option) and has the most fine-grained advanced key choices.”
- "The Quest for a Bird Identification Key" March/April 2014 issue

iBird Ultimate offers these exceptional features:

■ iBird's patented "Percevia" Search Engine with 37 attributes helps you identify birds like an expert birder. You can search by color, shape, song, habitat, head and body/bill patterns, flight style and much more. If you saw a yellow bird in California with a cone shaped bill, iBird will show you in 3 steps that it’s an American Goldfinch.
■ Our unique "Birds Around Me" feature (BAM), only found in iBird Ultimate, uses your device's GPS to return birds within a specified radius during a specified season. Now you only search for birds you are likely to actually see.
■ Day and Night Themes. Day theme is black text on a paper-white background. The dimmer Night theme keeps the iPhone from alerting every critter in the forest.
■ Over 2,500 high-quality recordings associated with over 800 species. You can enable or disable the Autoplay feature, or choose whether you’d like to play all vocalizations or just one. Information about the location where the recording was made is also included.
■ iBird apps are the only products with BOTH illustrations and photos from the best artists and photographers in the field of ornithology.
■ 37 Subspecies Range Maps show migrations and locations of numerous subspecies during the year.
■ Favorites Sort and View Modes. Your Favorites list screen has the entire set of sort and view features found on the Browse/Search screen.
■ Field Mark Layer: A detailed field mark layer, provided on all illustrations, can be turned on or off and helps you to learn the key ID characteristics to look for in a species.
■ Photo Center. Add your own photos to species accounts and store them in Dropbox.
■ Slideshow. Customize a list of birds and enjoy a slideshow complete with songs and calls.
■ Sync: Your favorites, notes, and photos are automatically synced to your Dropbox.
