A gamified bird sound ID app. Been working on it since May of 2024. While the core functionality of “catching” birds has been live for awhile, I’ve been working on a learning module built into the app. I’m experimenting with ways to teach new birders / nature curious people how to “tune” into different bird sounds. As a birder one of my favorite things to hone has been trying to differentiate songs and calls in the field and I want to capture that experience in the app.

Love any and all feedback!


This is sick! I'm not a big birder but maybe this is the push I need to get into it lol. App seems super polished. Well done.


This is actually exactly what I’ve been working on as a passion project for the last year and a half: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wings-whistles/id6503321263

It’s basically a gamified version of Merlin. Would love any and all feedback!

Birdle Go seems really cool, very impressed and would love to test that!


Any chance you'll release an android version?


Yes! I’m aiming to release it by January at the latest. I’m using tflite rather than coreml so that the transition is easier.
