  • Worst app experience

    The installation never worked, stuck in searching for a camera mode, never gives option to manually install. Camera gets IP address, you can ping it, you can even access a login webpage for the camera, however the app just spins forever.
  • Poor user experience

    App frequently does not work. Frequently states the camera is not connected or working when in fact it is working just fine when viewing from a website. WiFi continues to have problems. When it works it is an awesome thing. If I could control the camera settings from a regular computer that would improve things for when the app is not working properly. Doesn’t always record a bird encounter even when set to a high sensitivity. I could view live a great interaction of birds then later go back and see it didn’t record it. The bird ID is frequently wrong or doesn’t even ID them. Luckily in the time I’ve waited for the camera I have learned many species on my own. The user experience of the bird ID does not appear as shown with the species above the bird so I am left wondering which bird it misidentified or perhaps there is more than one I don’t know and I am still left wondering. The clarity of the picture is very good. It seems most of the issues are the app which is a shame since there are things that can only be done through the app.
  • What a disappointment

    Once I finally was able to hardwire to wifi all I get is NOTHING!!! Freeze frames, not able to open app on phone after downloading everything. Freeze frames no live feed. Beyond disappointed! Cant even set up outside because the wifi won't work out there.
  • Another Kickstarter fail

    After I went through the set up, that for some reason requires you hard wire your camera to the router, the app freezes every time I try to access the camera. Also, I am still investigating but I think the wifi chip in the camera is only 2.4Ghz which would be an obvious cost saving choice by the company, which they will most likely regret.
