Birding Apps for Android (1 Viewer)

I've found the mobile app "Bird Field Guide" quite interesting!! Downloaded it just a few days back.. I use it on my HTC Android phone.. but i believe its available for i-phone and i-pad too..
There are free & full version downloads available.

More information is available on the website http://birdfieldguide.wordpress.com/
 
New avialable in the Market is 'obbsmap', a program for recording nature sightings: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.obsmapp&feature=search_result

Based on GPS or maps, you can record offline all your nature sightings, from birds to butterflys, forum plants to insects. Ideal for holiday use abroad!

Your recordings can be uploaded to www.observado.org, where you can make lists/exports/make maps etc. After installation, register on observado.org and register your account in obbsmap.

Your sightings are published on observado (or waarneming is case of Netherlands) and tagged with 'from app'. See this rarity I recorded yesterday: http://waarneming.nl/waarneming/view/56578269?lang=en&local=nl.

Android version US only!!

I just bought iBird (android) and have been playing with it for a half hour. Amazing. Two things to note: it's apparently North American species only

iBird: If you're from UK/Europe, Don't make the mistake I did and purchase it from the android app store only to find the Android version is US only! It's a good guide and I'll keep it for US trips but that'll teach me to read the small print, especially as it's the first app I actually paid for...
 
I paid $4.99 for iBird pro for my Kindle Fire. There's stunning amount of info available on it for something like 900 different birds. I almost felt guilty paying that little.
 
There is an observation recording software for android called "ObsMapp". Have a look on android app markets. Your data can be uploaded to and administrated on the site "observado.org". I've tested it now for 1 month and I like it very much. It's a simple design but the background (database, upload, sorting, lists etc) works very well and I can download my data whenever I want. I can forbid others to see my data. And the best thing is it's not only for birds but also for plants, mammals etc etc.
