  • Good App; Deceitful Developer

    iBird is a nice and comprehensive bird reference. I purchased the full version with “Lifetime” access in 2012 and updated with the photosleuth component in 2022. Now the developer has “reset” the terms. Switched to subscription and locked out prior purchases and disabled the “restore prior purchases” button that directs you to send an email to support. I sent an email to support with information on prior purchases and it’s gone unanswered - cough cough. Now there is even an option for a paid “lifetime” subscription to iBird … yea, “lifetime” until they can cancel it out and try and monetize the app further.

    I bought a lifetime subscription a few years ago. Apparently, they only thought I would live a few years because the lifetime subscription ended and now they want me to pay an annual subscription. Fool me once, never again. Don’t fall for this scammy app. They stole my money.
  • They cancelled people’s prior purchases.

    After purchasing the app, as well as additional features, they decided they wanted to charge a subscription rate. After that, they pretty much canceled what everyone had already bought and made the app unusable unless you pay them more money.
  • DON’T DO IT ! Buyer beware ! A nest of liars and thieves !

    I give it one star , solely for the reason it won’t let me give it a ZERO . I purchased the top of the line for this app ( and it WASN’T cheap ! ) on July 18 , 2009 with the understanding ( explicitly using the term “lifetime”) that it was a one time payment for the agreement . In reality , it was a payment for “until we change our mind and want more money out of you !” Now they have closed it out on me and want me to PAY THEM AGAIN , to “subscribe” on a yearly or monthly basis . It’s a pure money grab . I refuse to deal with anyone who makes an agreement , takes your money , then comes back and reneges on the deal , demanding MORE money to supply you what you have already paid them for . The Internet is populated by enough thieves as it is , I refuse to be ripped of further by a so called “legitimate” business through the App Store. I don’t care WHAT your reason is , if you cannot follow through on a commitment and stay true to your word , you do not deserve to remain in business . If that is your idea of integrity , I won’t do business with you and will be sure to announce it to anyone who cares to hear .

    After a lot of persistence on the part of iBird pro staff ( and myself) I was finally able to reopen my program. I appreciate this very much. I have a free year which updated my 2015 purchase and will definitely purchase a lifetime subscription at the end of the year!
  • Paid $20 for the app

  • Burning Books App

    I purchased iBird Pro and enjoyed the app for several years. The authors upgraded the app and imposed a mandatory monthly charge. I do not need nor want the upgrade, but I would like to continue using the version I purchased. If I purchase a book, I would never expect the author to show up, take it away, and demand I pay a monthly fee for the latest revision. IBird pro is not worth the monthly cost, there are better Apps available without a monthly fee, and the authors are guilty of theft. Stay away from them.
  • New owner ripped off old users

    I have owned this app for years. Owned, because I paid around ten dollars to use it when I initially downloaded it. Years later, some entity bought the rights to the app and came up with the idea of charging a subscription fee, even for people like me that paid a fee to download the app in the first place. There was no grandfathering in for customers that purchased it. I consider this to be theft, charging the terms of use after I bought it and trying to extract more money out of me.
  • Unethical business- bait and switch

    I purchased this app and enjoyed using it. I even purchased additional packs. But then…my access was taken away and I was offered a subscription model in order to use the app. This is just wrong. I’ll never use an app by this developer ever again. Hope it was worth it.
