Wired journalist, Scott Gilbertson, reviewed Haikubox and gave it a 9/10 rating with this summary:
”Finally, a Shazam for birds! Easy to install and set up anywhere. Impressively accurate at identification. Will alert you when new birds are heard (or any birds you set alerts for). Great app with links for exploring your local birds.”
He also noted “It's one of the rare pieces of technology that actually increases your connection to the world around you, rather than cutting you off.” and “This is the magic of the Haikubox—it expands your world.”
