Free Mobile App For Pet Bird Lovers!

Other issues with iOS! I just created a profile and saved it. When I try to do anything, it tells me I need to create a profile first and brings me to a blank page! Yes, I did publish it!

Edit: my bad, requires an avatar!

Hi Flboy


Glad you figured it out and apologies for any inconvenience. Let me know if you come across any other issues or if there are any new features you'd like to see in the app.

Wow Rozalka, you have good eyes! For me it took a good few minutes to notice the difference between the two species as they both have similar fronts but yes, the red bellied parrot is greyer on its back and wings.


Thank you so much! I will definitely fix this for the next release.


By the way, have you looked at the new sound library yet? I'm wondering what people think of it.

yes, I've tried. Zenek hearing other GCC's stopped eating a carrot and Romek hearing other budgies stopped singing then


There in the sound libary is 2xsenegal category include one empty

Well, at least it had some effect! My sun conure started bobbing its head to the sounds of other conures. Since for most species there are a number of different sound files, I guess some of them may contain the bird equivalent of 'Look out! There's a guy with a microphone hiding in the bushes!!'.

Hi Everyone


The new version of BirdBuddy is out with the following changes:


- Added 'Continue with Facebook' button to streamline the setting up of user profiles
- Added 'View In BBSpace' button in Edit Profile section so users can see their own profiles as shown in the BBSpace social network page
- Added in-app purchases as subscription options for unlocking extra functions and access to the BBSpace social network page
- Added 'Hybrid Macaw' as a supported bird type (thanks user OK_Mike)
- Added new icons for Extras section
- Minor fixes and improvements


For the first time, there are areas of the app which are no longer free because I've got server costs to pay and there's very little coming in from the advertising in the app.


Some functions - such as setting up bird profiles, bird news, the sound library and the bird games - continue to be free. But those functions which require the use of the BirdBuddy server - such as saving user/bird profiles to our cloud server - will require a small subscription fee. For full details about what's free and premium, see the BirdBuddy/My Bird Buddy download page in the app/play store.


For those users who have previously used our cloud server functionality and now find they must subscribe to continue using it, don't worry - your previously saved data is safe and can be accessed same as before once the subscription is made.


Thanks for supporting our app and let me know if you have any questions, issues or suggestions.

*In older classification they are one species but I see latin name Trichoglossus moluccanus - older verson (where they are the one species) is Trichoglossus heamotodus or something simillar

Thanks for the info Rozalka. I'll take a look at it and make the required change for the next release.


Cheers!

Hi All

Just to let y'all know, the new version of BirdBuddy is available and the only major change is that its now back to being 100% free - no more in-app purchases and no advertising. In the app store it may say there are in-app purchases but i've disabled them programmatically within the app, so sections such as Life Events (diary) and Metrics logging are now free again. I'll just have to find another way of making money lol.

Search 'My Bird Buddy' in app store or 'BirdBuddy' in play store if you want to check it out.

Enjoy!
 
I forgot about this app existence.... I logged in after 2 years and I feel like OP stopped updating. All photos don't work any longer. I tried to update photos of Zenek and Angela, but they don't work neither
