[Tweeters] Merlin app in Japan?

[via Tweeters]

I would agree with Bill’s comment, as we have been to Japan 5 times now and the sound ID is sketchy at best.  The other identifier with the size, color and sighting specifics works much better.  Make sure to download the different packs for Japan for your ebird and Merlin app.

My son just got back from a trip to Japan. He said Merlin works there, but the sound ID coverage is ~40 percent, less in some areas.

Hey tweets, I wonder if anyone out there in tweeterdom has had experience with the Merlin app in Japan? Does it work? I tried finding out by doing an online search and got mixed messages. Thanks for any help you can give. - Connie, Seattle
