Issues
I hate to leave bad reviews but since PerchLens took over I have had nothing but issues. My WiFi keeps disconnecting. It was fine while it was the Birdty app. When I went to reinstall, it took two days before I could get back on line. I hope these issues are fixed soon, or I’ll soon be moving on to a different app.

Issues logging in for a couple days, now issues accessing the live stream. Checked network on device and router at home and all connections are great.
My Feeder Has Become a Fake International Airport
If PerchLens is to be believed, my humble hummingbird feeder in North Carolina has somehow become the hottest vacation spot for South and Central American hummingbirds. According to the app, I’m basically running an avian Sandals Resort in my backyard.
The problem?
I’m not.
Cute interface, fun idea, but the AI bird ID is about as reliable as a squirrel on espresso. Every flutter becomes an exotic species, every shadow becomes a rare migrant, and every actual hummingbird becomes… well, apparently a tourist with a passport.
Two stars because it’s entertaining, but if you actually want to know what bird you’re looking at, you might as well ask a random pigeon.

Camera is not recording
Camera is not recording again; so not receiving alerts. Also, location is not working again. Can view live streaming only. Customer support is responding quickly.
Terrible/ Negative 5 Stars
I got a new phone and when the app reinstalled, it would not allow me to log in or access the app. I uninstalled and reinstalled and tried changing the password. Then my husband couldn’t access the app. After a Google search, we found out this is a known issue. Don’t buy a bird feeder that communicates with this app. It’s awful.
