Works ok, needs improvement
I have used this for several months. The recording and notifications are good. But everyday when I delete recordings, it loads videos from 2 to 3 days prior that I already deleted. So it continues to reload videos that have been deleted.
2 stars. Keeps giving 2 second videos.
I have it set for 20 second videos to be received but I keep getting 2 second videos. I submitted feedback and they said that it would record videos up to 20 seconds but will stop if the motion stops before 20 seconds BUT the birds are ALWAYS there MORE THAN 2 seconds. And now I keep getting 2 second videos. Please fix this! It’s very frustrating and annoying.

The best bird feeder with camera!!!
We searched and searched for a bird camera with feeder and this product is outstanding study pretty has its own solar panel - camera never goes flat - beautiful picture quality - and many recording and viewing options - we did try another 3 products but they failed and broke within days …… and this was the best priced one too ……can’t fault it …we love it !!!!!!!!!

Works perfectly
The Soliom camera (bird feeder) I have has many features. I found this app to be quite intuitive and it didn’t take me long to navigate through it. All functions work perfectly. A good app supporting a good product.

Data Privacy issues, poor AI, clunky UI, Overpriced
Important to note, to save or send videos, you must allow FULL Access to your photos which raises red flags. To use the AI feature for my bird camera, I had to sign up for $2.99/mo (now increased to $6.99!). The AI is not accurate. It falsely identifies birds as hawks, parakeets and species I’ve heard of because they aren’t in this region. It also falsely tells me it sees a person, pet, vehicle. At $2.99 it was a fun novelty. The user interface is clunky and should play videos in succession without going back a screen and selecting another. Only 1 app login allowed at the same time, so using on 2 devices requires signing out of one then into the other. Stupid.

Membership Cost More than Doubling!
I honestly have loved this feeder since I got it for Christmas. And I added the basic AI membership to be able to learn about the birds visiting the feeder. This morning, I received a notification that the $2.99 fee is being increased to $6.99 a month!! More than doubling is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. And of course it’s too late to return and get something else. Avoid this bait and switch company!

I see the birbs!!
Mostly great, the bird fans beta think my white-winged doves are people, though. Would be great if there was an Apple TV app or HomeKit integration so I could let my kitties watch the BirdCam on BirdTV lol!!
Have to sign in every time
I have the app on my phone and iPad. Every time I open the app it says that my account is being used on another device and it makes me sign in every time. Absolute garbage. Why can’t I use this on more than one device?
Paid for but no AI pro
We purchased the yearly AI pro for our Soliom pro bird feeder a couple days ago and has yet to show up on our app at all. I’m not sure what to do at this point, 89 bucks a year for something we haven’t been able to use. I hope I can find a way to resolve it.
Doesn’t identify birds.
Our BF-09 is supposed to identify bird species. It instead shows a bird as a pet or a person. Not once has it called a bird a bird let alone identify what species of bird. I contacted support and all they did was send instructions on how to set up the app which I’ve already done.
