The groupings make perfect and immediate sense, the page layout is instantly assimilated in a glance – this app now sets the ornithological standard and deserves a full 5-star rating."– Dave Pepler, Presenter of Groen on DSTV---------------------------------------------------------------------In a world characterised by speed and urgency, birding offers the antithesis – a chance to sit still, unwind and simply observe – whether in one’s own garden or in a remote area of the bush.
This Newman’s Birds app is the perfect companion for all birders, from the beginner to the keenest twitcher.
It is based on the 2010 commemorative edition of Newman’s Birds of Southern Africa, one of the most popular birding guides in the region since its initial publication in 1983.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"I lost all my sightings from about 4 years. What a disappointment. Can it be retrieved? We are bird watchers and went all over the country. Really disappointing."
Vanessa Botha
"Life list lost, useless app"
Rob Walters
"I enjoyed the app but lately I have lost my life list and can't get help in correcting it. Is this app still managed and updated? I would surely appreciate some help."
Johann Bester
"App is great, however I have lost my sightings list and only have spiecies list. Even after contacting the App Developers and reinstalling many times and updates, I'm still missing my sightings. Why can't I talk to person instead of just email's and long waits between attempts to solve the problem."
Howard Little
"Poor response from app developer to glitches. Very unimpressed."
Gaby Meyer
"Got to 200 species on my lifelist and refuses to add more, I've unistalled and reinstalled with no joy. Exported my lifelist and still only 200, very stressful"
Sandy Chapman
"I added birds to my life list and then they weren't there when I exported them. I tried my own troubleshooting by logging out and now I can't get back in. I'm trying to reset my password but nothing happens. Support email bounces as well. The app has been brilliant, but now that I need support, this is my only avenue. Please assist!"
Vanessa Thurlwell
"My life list is empty! Didn't change phones, didn't uninstall and reinstall app! Guys, I paid good money for this app, what's going on? A previous response said it'll be fixed in 48 hours... That was last week."
Brenda Gallop
"Short vesion: stay away! Lost my lifelist twice. When you do have it, its messed-up, or incomplete. Also, not a user-friendly app at all. Especially in the field. When I changed phones I could not login or change my password. This also happened twice. The function does not work. Had to contact tech support each time. I would not complain if it was a free app. But this is one of only a few apps I ever bought. So it should work. I would like to be refunded and get an app that actually works."

"I cannot add birds to my Life List. When I enter all the details, save and go back to my list nothing is there. Also sightings counter doesn't work."
