Bird identification is ludicrous - it identified a ruby throated hummingbird as a fork-tailed storm petrel. ### 1/5 — Not User Friendly *2025-04-08, version 1.0.5* I don’t know why, but this app locks up continuously each time I try to get to tutorial videos. Very frustrating. When I scan the QR CODE on camera it takes me to 3M™ Automatic Backwash Filtration System. I just got the camera bird feeder today that works with this app, and it’s going back! ### 1/5 — Can’t pair device *2025-01-12* App throws all sorts of error message. No real time support. ### 5/5 — Perfect Mother/Mother-in-Law gift *2024-07-12* I bought this bird feeder for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day and she loved it! We easily downloaded the app on her phone and she can watch her back yard visitors any time she wants. ### 2/5 — Great.. sometimes *2024-07-10* This app and camera are great when they work. My solar panel hardly charges it, so I am bringing it inside to charge. It hardly ever loads quickly. I can only watch a couple of videos a day & then it stalls. But yeah, I love it when it works 😞 ### 5/5 — The quality of this camera is so Impressive! *2024-07-10* I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to enhance their birdwatching experience using cutting-edge technology! Setting it up with the app on my phone was a breeze. It connects to your phone through your home WiFi, so it must be placed close enough to your house for a connection. ### 5/5 — Great for gifting! *2024-07-10* I bought my MIL this birdfeeder for her birthday. She absolutely loves it. The feeder was easy to put together and use the app. I definitely recommend and will be buying me one soon. ### 5/5 — Love this bird feeder!! *2024-07-09* This bird feeder was easy to put together, very sturdy!! I downloaded the app and synced it with the camera. Once I placed it on my deck post, I began getting videos!! I love that the videos have sounds too!! Plus the app identifies the bird at the feeder!! It’s a great buy!! ### 5/5 — Love this! *2024-07-09* I love this bird feeder so much! It’s easy to assemble and easy to sync to the app on my phone. I am an avid birdwatcher and this makes it easier to get close up views of them. ### 5/5 — Loads of Fun & Great Gift Idea! *2024-07-08* Getting the feeder connected to the app was quite simple, downloading and installing it and then connecting the bird feeder to the app. The process for me went smoothly and the app is friendly to use. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Jd toro *2025-08-24* Also froze my phone when I opened the app one day. I’m glad I saw the other review so I knew what to do. I couldn’t even shut my phone off I had to do the hard reset also and delete the app ### 1/5 — Great Camera Terrible App *2025-08-09, version 1.0.5* This feeder takes beautiful video but viewing the video is an exercise in frustration. It needs a complete redesign. ### 1/5 — Absolute trash of a company and app *2025-07-15, version 1.0.5* Just don’t get it ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2025-07-02, version 1.0.5* Can’t adjust recording length, and push notifications don’t work. Camera settings VERY limited. App needs to be completely redone! ### 1/5 — Do not download this app *2025-07-02* The actual product had good reviews when I purchased it, I was not aware of the issues with the app until setting it up. Within 24 hours the app sent a pop up on my locked iPhone requesting access to send communications. I tried to decline based on the feedback from the reviews. This locked my phone up, the pop-up was covering my login screen. Even the slide toggle to turn the phone off was not functioning. I had to do a hard reset on my phone and immediately deleted the app. If you just want an expensive birdfeeder - go for it. The camera appears to be quality, however, there is no way I would trust the app. Therefore the camera is useless. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2025-06-16* This app is incredibly frustrating to use. It shows that there are “events” (bird video recordings) and even displays a photo from the event, but you can’t enlarge the photo to preview it. When you tap the image to view the video, it never loads! Instead, it just says “No event at this time,” even though the photo has a timestamp for that exact moment! Customer support was unclear and unhelpful. They said you have to “wake” the camera before you can view footage from the SD card. That’s both ridiculous and unnecessary. No other functioning camera system requires a manual wake-up step to access saved footage. And even after doing that, it still doesn’t work! Very disappointed, especially considering the high cost of the device and the poor app performance. This needs serious improvement. ### 1/5 — Absolutely awful *2025-06-08, version 1.0.5* I need this app for bird feeder camera, its AI is useless for bird identification. It’s unfortunate, we have other app for different bird feeders that work great. ### 1/5 — App scans your network *2025-05-28* Warning: this app scans your network sniffing for open ports on devices even with “local network access” disabled!! I was troubleshooting some issues (as others have reported) with inconsistent connectivity. Checking my network router, I see this app is trying to access other devices on the network even with local network access disabled. It’s potentially fraudulent that it is searching your network in the first place, more so when the access is disabled. Very scary and risky to all your devices and information on your network! Remove this app! ### 1/5 — Sharing *2025-05-12* Just got it, got my phone setup fine, but cannot get my wife’s phone to setup camera. Undoubtedly if you and your wife want to watch same camera, you have to have 2 different email addresses in order for both of you to watch same camera. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Lots of permissions, no connection *2025-04-17, version 1.0.5* Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, it’s glitchy. So far, connected device with a micro sd card in it but always shows as ‘offline’. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Birdwatcher's Delight!! *2024-08-06* The app sync-up was seamless. The camera captures crystal-clear footage, and the food dispenser functions flawlessly. The versatile mounting options cater to any preference. The joy of watching birds up close and personal without disturbing their natural habitat. It's a delight for any birdwatcher. ### 5/5 — High quality camera tons of fun *2024-08-01* This is a great bird feeder, holds a lot of bird seed and has lots of different ways to hang it. The camera has a really high quality image and the app is super easy to use. Within 24 hours, I had tons of cool videos of birds very very close up. The AI even seems to identify them correctly (even squirrels). If you choose to sound the siren when a squirrel is on there, it DOES work. Can't promise the squirrel won't come back though 😃. All in all, great product. ### 5/5 — We love this bird feeder! *2024-07-30* The app is easy to use, you can see who visited that day, or even go back on the calendar and see past visits. You can share video access to your camera as well so that your friends or family can also enjoy it. It is easy to set up, and the solar panel keeps things charged up. We have never had to charge ours since we set it up. ### 5/5 — The greatest *2024-07-30* This is such a fun feeder!! Well worth the money. Easy to set the feeder up and link to your phone app. The solar panel works well and saves the hassle of taking it down to charge. ### 5/5 — Clear camera and fun! *2024-07-26* This was a fun purchase! The quality is amazing and it's so easy to use with the app. It also blends in well with the landscape. My birds are loving it and I love seeing them up close and personal. ### 5/5 — Good APP *2024-07-16* The app is easy to use and navigate through. ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-07-15* Got this as a gift for my mother for her birthday and she loves it! good quality, easy installation and setup on the app as well! ### 5/5 — My kids love it! *2024-07-14* A really cool unique product. Came across this smart bird feeder for my kids, and it was beyond expectations. Was easy to setup, and the app works great. My kids love watching all the birds come through and their recordings. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Hello Birds! *2024-07-14* It required an app download but everything was pretty user friendly. It brings me such joy to be able to watch the birds visit my feeder. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2024-07-12* This feeder is awesome! It was easy to assemble and install. The app is easy to use and the features are great. I was not that interested in birds prior to having this. Now I am amazed by the various birds and the ability to see them up close. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
