### 1/5 — Literally the worst app in existence

*2026-08-09, version 4.0.0*

The instructions were subpar and even once I’m connected, the birds feeder randomly goes offline and save nothing. On the off chance that you DO get a notification a bird has arrived, half the time you click to see it, the app goes live…and no birds are there. 

It’s not intuitive, not user friendly, and not effective. I got this as a gift and to be honest, I hate it. I’m certain the sole purpose of those device was data harvesting from my phone.

### 1/5 — Worst Update

*2026-07-07, version 4.0.0*

July 8 2026 if you bought the camera feeder, return it immediately! This has to be the worst App ever! You used to be able to just tap on the image and see a live feed of the birds eating. Now you have to go through three steps and by the time you get to the camera, the bird is already gone! Extremely disappointing, and not worth it! This is terrible, please fix it ASAP. 
Whoever did this update should be fired!😡

### 2/5 — Misidentifies 75% of the birds

*2026-06-10, version 4.0.0*

The AI used in this App to identify birds at the feeder is severely inaccurate. Finches identified as Wild Turkeys, Mexican Duck (in NE Ohio) etc…  I do like posting the inaccurate images and descriptions to my friends because the misidentification is so wildly inaccurate, we get a good laugh about it. The BirdReel Device that the images and video are taken from is good (though this is my first smart birdfeeder so I have nothing to compare it to).

### 1/5 — So many ways it’s inferior

*2026-06-04, version 4.0.0*

I bought this for the solar panels on the roof. The camera doesn’t take photos or videos when birds appear. Sure, get notifications. The app is extremely clunky.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-05-29, version 4.0.0*

I have never been able to connect or activate the software. They never send a code for sign in and instruct you to call customer service but provide no phone or email. What a waste of time and money.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2026-05-29, version 4.0.0*

The solar panels do not do anything, you could potentially buy third party solar panels to see if that extends the life, but I get a day out of the battery with solar panels on. 
Wifi doesn’t not connect well, even right beside the router, app reads poor connection. The most disappointing, is that the notifications do not work. My iPhone is set up for notifications and the app needs to be set up in three different locations, and even with everything set up the notifications still do not work.  I wish I could return this for a full refund!!

### 1/5 — Terrible app matches defective hardware

*2026-05-28, version 4.0.0*

Highly recommend avoiding this company.  The app has been glitchy since day 1.  Camera could not be set up with reconfiguring my home WiFi to 2.4ghz and using an extremely simple password.  Then camera kept disconnecting from app.  Now camera won’t turn on at all and I’ve contacted support through the app only to receive 11 identical responses: “Dear customer. Please leave a message. We are collecting all the information and will reply to you within 24 hours.”  Obviously no support is going to arrive!  Writing off this little adventure - tossing the camera and uninstalling the app.  Save your money.  Buy something else.

### 5/5 — Gen Z Bird Fan

*2026-05-22, version 4.0.0*

The app makes it super easy to be able to share photos of what birds come to visit!

### 1/5 — Hard to set up

*2026-05-19, version 4.0.0*

It takes a computer genius to set this up.

### 1/5 — Run away from this device

*2026-05-15, version 4.0.0*

I have had nothing but problems with the birdhouse and camera since purchase. No instruction sheet with how to put anything together. Instructions in the app for setting up the camera have no trouble shooting sequences or help. Worked for about a week and now won't connect to wifi. Weak wifi on camera. I have another feeder with camera from another company that has been great for two years. Picks up wifi brilliantly. This app makes you reel through the whole day of feeding to find the one bird you are interested in with no snap shot function. The company needs to improve their product and the app to make both user friendly.
