WhoBird is way better, you are correct. I switched recently, myself. I appreciate that they pull the model onto your phone so you can use it while hiking.
I didn’t know the other apps are not working offline. But yeah, another whobird user here.
Favorite use was when i was cycling up a mountain in france and heard some close by birds bickering at me. Never had heard those sounds before, so i had a look on whobird and to my surprise it was “100% - golden eagle” - i thought it was some songbird i didn’t know. I stopped, looked up the tree right next to me, then saw them both take off. Awesome stuff.
I love WhoBird. I especially like that it can record each bird’s song. When I’m sitting out in the yard, there are so many singing at once, playing back their songs with an ID helps a lot to identify the ones I can’t see.
Using WhoBird here. Similar functionality but open-source (so spyware-free). Available on F-Droid.
One thing I’ve learned is how many blackcaps I had been overlooking. Beautiful song, like a blackbird, but I’m finding it oddly hard to eyeball them.

Yep exactly. At first I had trouble believing it was working without a connection, but it really does. This is definitely a case of AI being useful.
Hot take on AI here on lemmy :)

Wonderful story! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this recommendation. I always prefer open source and privacy focused apps.
