BirdNET Live downloads & installs
Both stores, worldwide. Bands are open; exact numbers are free with an account.
| Store | Downloads / day | Lifetime installs |
|---|---|---|
| App Store | – | 5k+ |
| Google Play | – | 50k+ Measured |
| Total | – | 50k+ Confidence |
How this is calculated
App Store: chart positions and rating growth per country, anchored on its own Android downloads; lifetime from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Google Play: the daily change in its exact install count. The total adds every store.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum

Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

A Spectrogram size setting gives the detection list more room. Share lets you pick Audio and Metadata per export. Korean is a new app language. Slow devices lower the inference rate to keep detection clips. Fixes for interrupted background recordings, the spectrogram on rotation, and Chromebooks.
