Brilliant

Love this!

It’s such a great app!!!

Horrible Customer Service!!!

I have had this a dew weeks and didn’t have a ton of activity. I was so excited today when I had lots of moments. However, every time that I tried to use the Ai identification, it said it timed out to try again. I did this on and off over several hours until it told me that I had reached my 10/10 limit with zero identifications. It took me about 6 chats to get anywhere. First, the chat text box wouldn’t work. Then when I followed the instructions from the agent (Justine) to take a screenshot, it ended the chat ( no other option.) Then, I got JB who never even responded to me with a hello after 23 minutes, even though I could see when he read the messages, so I finally disconnected. Then I got Maui who first told me I needed a subscription, then told me”yea you get 10/day” -but I am not. Then is like “sorry try again tomorrow.” What?! Two hours trying to get assistance and I got “better luck tomorrow.”

Great wildlife, bad camera

Seeing the birds and wildlife in my backyard is great, but my less than a year old camera and has a (internal?) foggy spot on it that never goes away, even after I wipe the lens.
Also, my phone sends notifications regularly about “suspicious activity” on Birdify.
What’s up with that??

Forced to transition from Netvue app to Birdfly app has been a never ending struggle

I have not been able to enjoy my bird feeder since the transition of apps. The videos have turned into choppy, split-second clips. Repeated messages for support get the same responses. Enjoyed for several years, and highly recommended to friends & family. I'm done with it. Will not even consider purchasing because of how frustrating this has been. Very disappointed.
