Read the ad
Read the ad. Pity it was either out of date......showing the incompetence of the site owners, or it was deliberately patterned on some of the common scams, also showing the incompetence of the site owners. But it caught me to write this, hope that pleases them

Hi Trevoc.
Thanks for leaving us a review. Would you mind elaborating on what exactly what issue you had as it is not very clear from your review.
I can assure you Birda is not some scam, we are a company run by a group of dedicated people trying to create something of value for birdwatchers.
You are welcome to contact us directly via support@birda.org if you have any questions or issues you would like to see addressed.
Kind regards
John
Such a shame
Such a shame , basic problems with lists recording your sightings . Tried twice to get through to a human in the chat but nobody replies and the bot ai responses become ever more infuriating. This should be an easy experience but it wasn’t for me

Monthly direct debit
Like so many of these companies, so easy to be sucked in to the offer of "free" only to discover that it is a monthly payment, then really difficult to find out how you unsubscribe.
Beware

Hi Tom. It seems like you may have missed the option to exit (X in the top left) the subscription page during registration. Most of our users use the free version of Birda and you are welcome to do the same. If you would like to cancel your Birda+ trial/subscription, you can do so via Profile > Settings > Birda+ > Cancel subscription. Please let us know if you are still having trouble cancelling your subscription (support@birda.org) and we will be happy to asssit.
Not free to use?
From all the google searches I made - I understood the Birda app was free to use.
Yet as soon as I registered & logged in I've been given notification that the first week only is free & there's a minimum monthly charge thereafter.
They may well be value for money & have competitive charges compared to other options but it appears they
are NOT free
EDIT - Now had a reply from John explaining the charges for BIRDA + which makes more sense - thanks for reply

Hi Rob
We are really sorry about the confusing messaging about our free and subscription offerings. Birda was completely free up to March 2024 when we launched Birda+, our subscription offering. You can still access most of Birda for free by exiting out of the subscription screen (X in the top left). We haven't communicated this well on the app store though so we will make some updates so this is crystal clear for everyone. Apologies again and hope to see you on Birda :)
Cheers
John

Fantastic Birdwatching Companion
Birda had allowed me to keep a digital log of my bird lists. It allows me to share my sighting and session with a great and growing birding community and gives to the ability to connect with local birdwatchers.
It has a vast range of features from its sighting lists up to in-depth guides to help you identify birds you have seen. Recently an audio feature was launched allowing you to listen to songs and calls from a wide range is species.
It’s a fantastic and must-have app for any birdwatcher.

I have been looking for a friendly birding community for years! This is it, and then some!! The app itself is incredibly useful to log species and learn about the different birds you see. Plus the social aspect of the app and sharing all the lovely photos people have taken of birds it’s just a win win win 🤩
