Great resource, hope more features will come.

This is a very handy electronic version of the excellent guide book. (And thats basically what it is--an ebook with some nice extras. It doesnt have a bunch of interactive functions that I normally associate with apps.) As with the book, youll benefit from familiarizing yourself with the different groupings. You cant, of course, thumb through pages to find what youre looking for, but theres an option to browse alphabetically which is very helpful. For example, you can go straight to "H" and find all the herons--nice for those of us who dont use the book/app all the time. The list function makes logging your discoveries easy, though it may not have enough fields for serious birders. But its fun for me, as Ive only concerned myself with identification until now.
Id love to see more features in the future. Top of my wish list would be a way to browse birds by geographic region.
Bottom line: There could be more here, but Im very happy I bought the app. Its got nice extras the book doesnt have (I didnt even mention the calls or the compare function!), and its there when I want it, not on the shelf at home. :)
