I totally agree. whoBIRD is amazing.

I did use BirdNet for quite some time before whoBIRD was available, but it's so great to be able to open up the app (whoBIRD) wherever and have it identify the birds we're hearing without having to wait for a network round trip. The somewhat recent feature of showing bird photos in whoBIRD is nice as well.

Running the app from time to time has had me notice birds in the area I would've otherwise missed.

Thanks to the app, I saw a long tailed tit for the first time and even managed to get a few photos! (They were mixed in with other bird song, but the app said they were singing in the area too. After a little searching, we found them.)

It's definitely an app that would make someone install F-Droid on Android if they haven't already. (As it's only available on F-Droid and not Google Play.)
