Description
ChirpOMatic helps you identify birds quickly and easily, from the squeak of the tiny Goldcrest to the Crane's loud trumpeting.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Record the bird song or call using your iPhone or iPad.
2. ChirpOMatic analyzes the audio to identify the bird species based on its unique vocalizations.
3. The app gives the name of the bird, or birds.
4. In the case of poorer recordings, the app provides a short list of the most probable birds, ranked according to the likelihood of a correct identification.
5. Access additional information about the identified bird species, including brief descriptions of their song, and details of special features to listen out for.
6. Your recordings are stored on your phone along with the date and location − a great way to listen and remember the moment. Recordings can be shared using AirDrop, WhatsApp, messages or email.

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent for Western & Central Europe
User from Germany here. This app does a beautiful job identifying bird song even with fairly quiet song or when there are multiple birds. Definitely excellent for birdwatching in Europe.
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 wasn't available prior to purchase, can't find that reference again. Not clear what region it's useful in.
Doesn't work
Don't know if it isn't 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 ID'd the bird. The bird wasn't even in the list of possibilities listed in the app. For the record, it was a "Black-capped Chickadee". Avoid this app.
Developer Response ,
The ChirpOMatic UK app identifies British birds. For birds in the U.S., such as the Black-capped Chickadee, you need the U.S. version of the app, called ChirpOMatic USA.
