Explore the diverse world of avian calls that surrounds you!

Birdgram serves as a portable audio field guide, offering a comprehensive collection of 770 species and over 45,000 recordings across all 50 states in the US. This extensive database is made available through the remarkable resources of xeno-canto.org, a platform committed to open access and data sharing through Creative Commons licensing.

Key Features:

• Visualize every sound within the app as a spectrogram, offering an intuitive representation of the sound's structure over time.
• Utilize the "Places" feature to designate your current location or a specific birding site as a filter, focusing results on the birds in your proximity and excluding distant species, facilitating local bird discovery.
• Enjoy offline functionality - Birdgram operates fully offline, ensuring uninterrupted usage even in remote locations without network coverage. (Note: Internet connection is required for adding new places; all other features are available offline.)
