BirdPro is the ultimate app for identifying and appreciating the birds of South Africa. You can download and test the app for free with a limit sample of 100 birds, and when you are ready you can upgrade to bird of: - Southern Africa - South Africa - Kruger National Park - Namibia - Botswana - Zimbabwe - Mozambique You can also purchase the Southern African version which includes all of the above. BirdPro boasts an award winning identification tool and has a vast source of information: - Over 8000 beautiful and diagnostic images from various angles and of all variants, e.g. immature, males, females, dark and light morphs - Over 3000 comprehensive and clear bird calls - Over 70 videos showing bird behaviour or Jizz - Informative and comprehensive information on each bird - Interactive and accurate bird distribution maps, showing the migration patterns per month where applicable. - Names of birds in 16 languages, including most native South African languages as well as Scientific, German, French and Portuguese. The SmartSearch function allows you to select your current, or any other location and the birds at that location will be filtered. Over and above the GPS location, you can search by shape, type, colours, size, where seen, bird calls and more. There are 100's of attributes you can choose from, which makes identifying a bird accurate and easy. As a first ever bird app achievement, the resulting bird list is sorted by relevance with the most probable birds matching your search criteria at the top, which makes it extremely quick and accurate. The ability to remove birds from the results is a game-changer. It even has a section for hard to identify birds (LBJ's, etc) In addition to the SmartSearch function, BirdPro contains the Sound and Image Recognition for South African birds. You can upload images or calls from your device or take a photo or record a sound with the device, which will then be used for the recognition of the bird. This function has a 2-week evaluation period. BirdPro also offers the most accurate location filter available. You can select current location, location from a map or any of over 1200 South African reserves. You can also log your sightings with trip descriptions, date, photos and notes, which are then indicated as pins on the distribution maps. Sightings lists can be viewed and can even be synced to a website and shared between devices. BirdPro also offers a Similars functionality. It not only ranks the similars, it also gives preference to your location selection. When using a location filter, similars at that location will be ranked higher and similars outside of your selected location will be displayed last. Both these features are a first for any bird app! No internet connectivity is required to operate the app after it is installed which makes it possible to use the app in the most remote locations. All updates are regular and free. Major functional additions, like Image Recognition, is charged for additionally.
