- Fixes for using application while offline 12.7.2 07/10/2022 The biggest change you'll notice about iBird is our payment has changed from a one-time payment to a subscription. We resisted this change, but like so many other developers, the cost-reward equation was no longer working for us. Apps, like iBird, have inherent ongoing costs to keep content fresh, and birdlife is constantly changing. Range maps change, DNA research unveils new relationships in avian taxonomy, species names are changing to balance inclusivity and order, and more. Each year the birding standards organizations (AOU and ABA) update a taxonomic list containing the status of every species in North America. We use this standard to update our iBird database with new illustrations, photos, maps, songs, name changes, etc.

The iBird Pro 12.7 update starts with a 7-day no-cost trial so you can become familiar with iBird, try out its features and decide if you want to keep it. Two subscriptions are available: monthly and yearly.

Previous owners: If you have purchased iBird in the last year you are automatically entitled to the first year of iBird for free. After the year is up you can continue to use iBird with a yearly or monthly subscription or unsubscribe.

Our hope is that you stick with us. iBird was the pioneer in this conversion from paper-based bird reference guides to app-based that fit in a pocket. The ball started rolling for birding apps in 2008 with the famous Apple "we have an app for that" commercial (itchy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZug0njc6W0) which awoke the birding community you could put your entire set of birding guides in your pocket.
