The app barely works

I can’t even share cameras with my wife because it force quits when I try to do so. One of the cameras does not even turn on after using it for one day (even after removing the camera and charging it). Would not suggest to anyone.

Slow and Missing Features

The app is painfully slow, even with strong wifi. Most of the advertised features won’t work, the app just crashes. Great ideas, terrible execution. Disappointing! Predator monitoring constantly thinks a bush is a dog. I can’t add my flock (so no egg alerts), it doesn’t tell me when the door opens or closes, but by golly I know when the wind is blowing because one branch sets alerts off constantly!

Not good

We've had the Coop cam for about a year and I finally deleted the app today. When it works it's mediocre at best. You can see your chickens and ensure they're OK sometimes. The problems are many. Often the live stream doesn't work/won't connect. The microphone never has worked and it misses predators and then alerts on nothing--it'll say a dog has been detected but there's nothing on the playback at all that the app even identifies as a dog. The last straw for me was when it logged me out for the millionth time and insisted I needed to set up my camera again, but was still sending me alerts--low battery, dogs--all the while saying there was no camera on my account. When I did try and put the camera back on, it wanted me to pay a subscription. I've never paid one before, not going to now for something that doesn't work. And forgot customer service. I've sent the issues to them and never received anything in response. Try another camera.

Great Idea - App needs work

Great product but app stability and login needs work. Every few days you lose your connection and have to login. Login is not good. Using email I get server errors. Apple login works occasionally.

They need to simplify login and sharing.

Try, quit the app, retry, repeat

Getting live stream is mission impossible for me, the app could use an update
