Many species are represented with multiple call examples showing the full range of vocalizations. ● The ability to compare any two images, maps, or sounds, side by side on the screen. The ability to filter by geographic location, so that you see only the species likely to occur in your location, and to further reduce the possibilities to usual or vagrant species in the selected area. ● A “Smart Search” that gives the ability to search by distinguishing features such as size, colour, physical features, habitat and exclude certain types of birds (eg. Passerines). ● A basic personal species list that stores your sightings saved to the device* (ability to upload list coming soon) ● A comprehensive help and introduction section to help you if you get stuck or don’t understand how a certain feature works. *Uninstalling/reinstalling the program will result in the loss of your list, it is recommended that you keep your own backup (master list) separate from the application. We invite all users to share their comments and ideas on our forum at www.mydigitalearth.com NB. This Application WILL ONLY work on an iPhone or iPod Touch running iOS V7.1 or higher NOT A NORMAL IPOD CLASSIC/NANO and the download is about 320MB.

Bird Call Xeno

Bird Calls Xeno is a free app which connects to Xeno-Canto for you to search, listen and download bird calls for offline playback. The app has been designed by birders for birders! Why use Bird Calls Xeno for your bird sounds and bird calls needs. 1: Search bird call by English & scientific name. You can search not only by english names but also by scientific names. The app will also start showing you results when you start typing the genus like Phylloscopus. This helps you to select from that specific genus. 2: Play bird calls sorted by rating.All bird calls are sorted by ratings so that you have Rating “A” calls at the top to play. This helps you to quickly get the best quality calls to hear without going through the entire search list. 3: Filter search. One of the requests we had was to search for a particular species for a country. We have now added filter by Country, rating and type when a search is executed for a bird call. This helps to filter searches to a country when you are visiting a specific country and want to only hear calls recorded in that country. 4: Offline calls. Yeah, what use is a bird call app if you are not able to use it on field or when you don’t have an Internet connection. You can download individual calls and they can be found under the offline section under the menu. In a future update we will have a direct icon for the Offline calls in the top menu(we were lazy to add it in this version). This bird call app is free and we plan to keep it free until the end of time or until we go bankrupt(hopefully not!). In case you want additional feature, reach out to me through the contact us form in the side menu of the app and I would be happy to talk more on improving the app. Bird Calls Xeno. With Love. Give us some LOVE! If you like the app, please post a rating and feedback! Made this app with a lot of love and hard work! Note that we are not affiliated with Xeno-Canto and this is NOT their official app. This is an app that connects to the world's largest open-source database for bird calls, Xeno-Canto to search, play and download bird calls offline for playback. Use playback with care and don't overdo calls in the field! Happy birding!
