### 1/5 — Don’t buy a feeder that uses this app!

*2025-07-26*

This is a terrible app! Doesn’t label the birds correctly at all! Will call the same bird 3 different birds! I wish I had checked the app out before I bought the feeder. I’m very disappointed in my purchase. Can’t return it as it is from Amazon.

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2025-04-19*

This app is terrible. It will not allow you to stay signed in, and am unable to sign in again. It’s useless!

### 1/5 — Basically unusable

*2025-03-30*

Delay and hang time when navigating to pretty much any screen. 

Having to reset and setup camera over and over—specifically if the camera runs out of battery it seems. Now the latest, when resetting up the camera, I get through all the settings, and after it “initialized camera” I’m right back to no camera and it asking if I want to setup a camera. Absolute bummer.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-03-22*

Camera never connected by WiFi or cellular. So incredibly disappointing!  Look at all the reviews on here and Amazon. Buyer beware!

### 1/5 — bad

*2025-03-16*

terrible

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2025-03-06*

Does not identify birds well- hard to get back to rewatch a video- I have captured some cute videos but it is really lacking in accuracy and ease of use

### 1/5 — Worst Product Ever

*2025-03-03*

I bought this product as a christmas present for my wife. It worked for 1 month. It has now gone offline and we are unable to get it back online. The app is completely useless as fast as help, the web site is also useless and it doesn’t come with a user manual. DO NOT BUY THIS!!

### 1/5 — Worst App in Existence

*2025-01-24*

This app is a huge disappointment. I got the bird feeder with camera that the app supports and the hardware is ok but this app is a joke. The AI bird identification is hilarious because it’s so bad. I had it identify a Chickadee as a goose the other day and it said a gold finch was a canary. Just ridiculous. Also, there are various controls in the app but no description of what they do or how to operate it. Avoid the bird feeder and try something else before you use anything that requires this app. So bad it’s funny.

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional; just get a Birdbuddy.

*2025-01-20*

I recently received a Birdster bird feeder and thus downloaded the accompanying app, and unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations.

First, the app has some significant issues. I tested the bird detection by placing a bird figure in front of the camera and noticed the blue light turn on, indicating that it detected something. However, when I checked the “Encounters” page, there was no record of it. I had to wait hours, and sometimes even days, before seeing any bird encounters, which is frustrating for real-time bird watching.

The “Community” tab is even worse. Almost every bird identified by the app was wrong, and in some cases, the app was labeling birds that don’t even exist! For example, I saw an ibis labeled as a “square pigeon” and a cardinal incorrectly identified as a flamingo. It was a bit of a mess and made the app feel unreliable—which it certainly is.

As for the feeder itself, it’s decent, but not without issues. The construction is mostly wood, which could become waterlogged over time, especially being exposed to the elements as feeders tend to be. The interior wooden piece that holds the camera mount broke immediately when I tried to install it. It’s not the most durable design. That said, it is cheaper than the BirdBuddy, so you get what you pay for.

In shorter terms, while the Birdster feeder itself could be functional if built better, the app needs a LOT of work. I’d recommend going with a BirdBuddy instead for a more reliable and user-friendly experience.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-01-19*

Terrible app not user friendly
