iBird UK Pro Guide to Birds

IBIRD 5.1--the world's best-selling birding app--just got WAY better! This latest version of iBird is now compatible with the new iOS 5 and comes with a host of exciting new features which take it even further beyond all current birding apps. I'd like to tell you about just a few of the things we did to improve iBird.

• MULTIPLE BROWSE VIEWS - You can now view species in one of four browse views: Compact, Icon, Thumbnail, and Gallery.
• SPECTROGRAM - We developed a special player control to bring a deeper insight to the inner structure of bird songs by allowing you to view the sounds frequency domain.
