Heard a bird and want to know what it is? Just tap the red button to make a recording and ChirpOMatic will do the rest. The app will check your recording against a library of birds from any European country and provide you with a match, along with a photo of the bird, and a clear cut description of the sound. If you dont have your phone with you, you can use your Apple Watch to record sounds for identification later.

Your recordings are stored along with the date, time and location. They can be shared using AirDrop, WhatsApp, Messages, or Email.

• Frequently updated, so you can be sure that the app will always run on the latest operating system.
• First-class customer support. We reply to emails within 48 hours.
• We respect your privacy. We do not collect recordings, or any of your personal data, from the app.


Why is ChirpOMatic the best birdsong app for birds?
• Recordings of bird songs disturb nesting birds, distracting them from the essential tasks of defending their territory and feeding their young. ChirpOMatic is the only bird sound app that is safe to use anywhere, at any time, because its the only app with Bird-safe Mode. When this is switched on, you have to hold the phone to your ear as though making a phone call in order to hear the sounds. This ensures that birds are not disturbed.
• ChirpOMatic is the only bird app that changes to ‘dark mode’ at night. This prevents light from a bright screen disturbing birds.

What region is this for?

Designed to be used in UK? Purchased for use in US, a brief statement scrolled quickly past seemed to say it was developed for birds native to UK. That info wasnt available prior to purchase, cant find that reference again. Not clear what region its useful in.

Seems cool but

will not work-keeps crashing

Does not identify birds

Nice idea but the app does not identify birds. Completely worthless.

Doesnt work

Dont know if it isnt narrowing by region or what the problem is, but I got a perfect capture of my bird song and it failed to identify the bird. After asking around and searching online, we IDd the bird. The bird wasnt even in the list of possibilities listed in the app. For the record, it was a "Black-capped Chickadee". Avoid this app.
