Just bought iBird Explorer West thinking that it would fully cover Hawaii.  No such luck!  It seems that all the native Hawaiian birds I need help identifying are only found in Plus (and I assume Pro).  I really wish the app developer made that clear.  I would have kicked down the extra $10 on Plus if I had known.  Instead I just wasted $10

If you need help identifying Javan Finchs, Japanese White Eyes, Common Mynas, or Zebra Doves iBird Explorer West has you covered.  If you're looking for anything native, forget about West...

Contacted app developer with concerns.  Waiting for a response....  Will update this post.

It sounds like the last update may have improved this, at least to a degree:http://www.whatbird.com/forums/forums/thread/114318.aspx

Also, just FYI, the developers are working on a way to allow in-app upgrades, so you could get Pro at a discount for having the other version: http://www.whatbird.com/forums/forums/thread/87022.aspx

The new 1.7 versions of West, Pro and Plus have the endemic Hawaii birds as well as the rest of the gang now. We are continuing to add them.
