  • You have stolen from me and I want my money back

    By Frozoloft
    UPDATE: Correction. I guess it was $30, I bought it when it first came out. Regardless, what you did was wrong. We understand the App Store terms. It doesn’t make it a smart move for your business to take advantage of it! There were better options for you to come out of this looking fair. But you chose the greed route. I’ve been enjoying Merlin after deleting your app. ——————— I gave you FIFTY dollars. More than I ever paid for any app by far. If you regret giving people the option to purchase your app, then that business decision is ON YOU. You dont pay for your mistakes by retroactively taking away a product that people ALREADY PAID FOR. I have never seen anything like this in the history of e-commerce. Do not offer me a free year… and then expect you to pay up even another cent more for something that we already had a deal about. How dare you people? This should be criminal. The honorable thing to do to would have been to grandfather in the fixed price purchasers and charge NEW customers a subscription… or end update support and add new features to a parallel app that’s only available to subscribers. Both options have been used by your peers in similar situations to you. You took it too far. Shame on you.
  • Widget shows incorrect 4 letter codes?

    The widget just tried to tell me the 4 letter code for Western Reef-Herron was “WEHE” when it’s most definitely “WERH” and it makes me wonder what else may be inaccurate? I got the widget specifically to learn new 4 letter codes…
  • Customer service issues - UPDATED

    UPDATED 1/10/25: I left the original review below for context. Long story short, the developer reached out to me and resolved the issue. It’s a great app, and I received a very thorough response in regards to my concerns, which was appreciated. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Emailed three times and no response. Why not? What’s your excuse? You just randomly decide not to reply? Seriously? Why would I want to recommend this app if you can’t reply to a simple email? Epic fail.
  • Great App and Great Team!

    Love this app and have used it for years. When I had an issue with a crash after an update, I left a review and the developer fixed the issue within days! Super responsive.
  • Can’t get rid of the subscription pop up

  • Thus USED TO BE my favorite birding app

    I downloaded this app years ago and it was my go-to app for birding. I had purchased a LIFETIME subscription, and all worked very well for a number of years. That is, until a few years ago. I was informed that a lifetime subscription was no longer valid and all of us that had previously purchased one would have to transition to an ongoing recurring payment as that was now industry standard. We were offered 6 months free as prior ‘ lifetime’ subscribers, to then transition to a recurring fee platform. I received no satisfaction with customer support, so I have offloaded the app. This is sad, as the app is very good. I will miss it, but I won’t miss the recurring fee for something that I already purchased with the understanding that it was a one time lifetime fee. BUYERS BEWARE.
  • App Crashing

    By Waco Pilot
    Wow! Thanks for the super fast update! It works now! Thank you! ——- After latest update…App kept crashing on open. I deleted the app and redownloaded it. Went to change the view to icons and then it started crashing again. Using iPhone SE with iOS18.2
  • Bait and switch…

    By Zamattz
    After I purchased the app, they switched to an annual subscription model. Total money grab.
  • Didn’t treat their customers right

    By Dudleymon
    I paid good money for this app and then they switched to a subscription model. Instead of adding premium services to grow into, they just hosed the people who paid for the app. Merlin is just as good and free. I’ve moved on

    If you don’t buy a subscription you don’t get any basic use.
