 It works in a limited fashion. So in South Africa, it will do photo ID. It will give you the species likely on the date and time you're there. But it does not do sound identification here like it does in the U.S. and Europe. And likewise, if you're using eBird when you're on vacation, eBird has an explore feature, and you can see who's been putting sightings in around you. And if there's a target species you want to look for, you can do it that way with the eBird app.
