In short

Bird ID & Sounds (Warbla) identifies birds on an iPhone either from live song or from a photo, with both tools running on the device, so they work offline. It is aimed at birdwatchers and learners, and it limits suggestions to species found in the user's chosen region. One notable point is that microphone audio is analyzed on the phone and never recorded or uploaded.

About

IDENTIFY BY PHOTO • Take a photo or choose one from your library • Pinch to frame the bird, then tap Identify • Matches come from the same list of nearly 10,000 bird species

ONLY THE BIRDS WHERE YOU ARE Pick your region: North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia or Australia & NZ. Warbla then suggests only birds that live there. No location permission needed.
