While I have not seen the app and so I cannot comment on its utility, the
question I would ask whether it twice as good as Morcombe (i.e. $70 v $36)? As
someone who currently uses Morcombe as a field guide and Birdlog ANZ for
recording my sightings in the field, I would also question whether we need all
the additional info that the P&K app provides, in one app. For example, while
hotspots is nice to have, more up-to-date information on birding hotspots is
freely available on Eremaea and eBird.
For the very high price the developers are asking, I suggest they need to
provide a free LITE version so people can have a look what is on offer as is
the case with the Sibley app in the US.

Fantastic review, David. I've also had fun playing with a beta version.
Like you've said in the review, it maintains the look and feel of a field
guide, but is so, so much more. I love the "key guide" identification, the
ability to build multiple lists, and add to any of them, not just the
latest one, and also to export lists. There is also an import list feature,
but I haven't been able to test that yet because I don't have any program
to convert CSV into a SQL file (and I don't want to muck around in shell
scripts).
I think the calls are a little louder in this app than in Morcombe (to
answer a question on your blog) but there are a few species not included.
Still with both apps, we have a wonderful selection of calls for ID etc.
Getting a checklist based on your location is another fantastic
development: we should expect this in every serious birding app from now on.
Pleased to see that it's on the App Store now. Very keen to hear what other
people think about this wonderful app.
