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. ### 2/5 — Try, quit the app, retry, repeat *2025-10-30, version 0.1.70* Getting live stream is mission impossible for me, the app could use an update ### 3/5 — Good product but needs improvement *2025-08-24, version 0.1.67* Cameras work well, but app is less than ideal. I have dogs so I tried to exclude them from detection but you can’t even though there is a button for it. The other thing I think could be better is being able to see all cameras live on the Home Screen. ### 2/5 — Buggy, unreliable and frustrating *2025-06-13, version 0.1.63* This app is incredibly buggy. It crashes constantly, locks me out of my account for no reason, and overall feels like it was released without proper testing. Every time I try to use it, I end up more frustrated than before. Honestly, my 9-year-old daughter could probably build a better app than whoever coded this. It has potential, but right now it’s just a mess. Fix the basics before adding anything else. ### 2/5 — Constantly crashes *2025-05-18, version 0.1.61* Every time I try to connect to live view the app constantly crashes! It’s completely unpredictable and makes using this camera seem a little pointless if the app doesn’t work. Otherwise the functionality seems pretty neat. ### 3/5 — So far not so good *2024-08-16, version 0.1.41* I’ll update this as we go. We chose these cameras over the blink cameras for the AI. Really excited to get them up and running. But the app doesn’t save anything. MULTIPLE tries to get email links to work and so far they don’t. The app looks great and was well thought out. Not a lot of chicken breeds in the Flock section to add your birds. I was surprised. Over all it looks like a great idea but hasn’t had all the kinks worked out. We are still excited about the cameras and hopefully I can update this review with good news. ### 3/5 — Great concept, app force closes/difficult to pair *2024-04-14, version 0.1.22* I like the idea of being able to use the indoor/run cameras to let my daughter watch the chickens. Pairing was an absolute pain! I almost put them back in the box. We finally got them paired but now they are offline again. The app has been force closing when we are trying to sync with the cameras. Ultimately, if there was a way to add the camera without a QR code it would be much better. Also longer WiFi range connectivity would be helpful. We haven’t gotten to watch our chickens yet so hoping some of these issues get worked out. ### 5/5 — Finally a smart chicken coop app! *2023-09-16* Coop has changed the game for raising backyard chickens - I finally have peace of mind when I travel or am out on the town that my chickens are safe and comfortable in their Taj Mahal of chicken coops! Coop is exactly what is needed in the new connect world - finally a smart home chicken coop! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Slow and Missing Features *2026-07-10, version 0.2.0* 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! ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-04-12, version 0.1.75* 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. ### 1/5 — Did I miss the bus *2025-10-22, version 0.1.69* This app is absolutely trash. It so buggy and crashes more than it works. The cameras that it supports are obsolete because the app is so terrible. What a wasted investment. ### 1/5 — App is Horrible *2025-07-02, version 0.1.64* This app is “clunky” and greatly hinders using the camera! ### 1/5 — Product Looked Promising, But it hasn’t shown to be. *2025-05-17, version 0.1.61* I’ll keep the extremely short, and to the point. We got this system to help us go out of town with our two flocks. The program long doesn’t seem to open at correct times. The IR cameras used to monitor animals and door operations supposedly interfere with the doors light sensors. Seems like a silly design. There may be future updates, as of right now, I DO NOT RECOMMEND. More work than an automated system should be… ### 1/5 — UPDATE PLEASE *2024-08-16, version 0.1.41* PLEASE DO AN APP UPDATE! Since this last update was released the app crashes constantly. I’m lucky if I’m on it for more than 5 seconds before it crashes again. I use the app for my chicken door and to check on my birds and this update is absolutely USELESS! Update please!! ### 1/5 — App Constantly Crashes *2024-08-09, version 0.1.41* I kept receiving an error code when submitting my email address to set up an account. I never received the verification email so I deleted the app and then had to register through Google. The app constantly crashes after opening making it unusable. The app needs some work before I would rely on this to monitor my chicken coop. ### 1/5 — Only crashes *2024-08-04, version 0.1.41* $600 in cameras and not one of them work! App crashes constantly, so much and so often you can’t even set up a profile or camera. And if you do, it resets and renames itself and turns offline. Over and over again. Cameras won’t connect to wifi even at full bars next to it. Not with the smart coop or the very expensive expansion pack. Thus enormous investment was a supposed to give me peace of mind with a move to a new farm (fraught with predators) but so far only gives me a headache with its constant beeping. 2 came with the uber coop so not sure how to return them, but trying first thing Monday. Should have stayed with my Arlo system, it doesn’t have fancy AI but it works :( ### 1/5 — Huge Let Down *2024-07-19, version 0.1.37* Terrible CUSTOMER SERVICE, takes them forever to respond, if at all. I was super excited to hear about these cameras on a podcast. They touted “premium” equipment. However I was quickly disappointed. Signing up for an account was even a problem. The setup was extremely complicated and problematic; Required links sent to my email that never showed up. Entering information over and over. Upon finally creating an account the problems continue; app not working properly and cameras difficult to connect and stay connected. Finally, the range of these cameras was horrendous. Unless you plan of having a coop right on your house this is not for you. I have other wifi products that work much further away. These cameras are not ready for general release, sad. ### 1/5 — Huge Let Down *2024-05-31* This company is a SCAM! CUSTOMER SERVICE is now ignoring my return requests.

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. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2025-09-03, version 0.1.67* This app is fantastic, I can keep eye on my chickens at all times! Their actual coop is predator proof as well! ### 5/5 — Newbie, big fan *2025-08-31, version 0.1.67* First time ever w/ chickens. Glad we started with coop. Cameras way better than I expected, app was glitchy at first (makes sense, startup) but their team is crazy responsive. Big fan ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-01-22, version 0.1.52* Love this app! Sure it glitches sometimes, but so does everything new and innovative. it’s by far the best and only app on the market with this kind of tech and they improve it and update almost daily it seems. I’m sticking with it, and so is my happy little flock! ### 5/5 — My birds love this, and so do I! *2024-01-25* So glad I bought the smart coop kit, this app is a GAME CHANGER!! On chilly mornings and nights I don’t have to go outside to open their coop door and close it! I’m pretty obsessed with watching the live stream on the app now too, I can check in on them while I’m at work or out to dinner! I used to worry about them so much when I was gone and now I don’t have to. I also had a few questions while I set it up, and their support team was responsive and actually real humans. Buy this for your chickens and ducks! You will become just as obsessed as me 😂 Was also so happily surprised to see that they have a community feature in the app! It’s so fun to see and meet other people that are new to the bird community and see their videos! It’s like the instagram of chickens that we didn’t know we needed! ### 5/5 — Kids love it! *2023-12-12, version 0.1.10* My kids are obsessed! First time having chickens and what a great intro. My kids love them and Coop makes it super easy for them to care for them. ### 5/5 — Never thought I’d be a chicken person *2023-12-12, version 0.1.10* It’s funny, I always looked at keeping chickens on my property as dirty or inconvenient. I found Coop through an article and was impressed by what the founders had to say. The coop itself looks great and works as promised. The app is easy, convenient, and well-designed. The reality of stepping into your backyard to grab a handful of fresh eggs from some funny creatures with hilarious personalities is awesome. And the eggs, are unmatched. You can’t get this kind of freshness from even the best local market. I’m a Coop’r for life! ### 5/5 — Never thought I’d be a chicken farmer but I love it *2023-12-12, version 0.1.10* I live in LA so not the most common spot for chickens and I never had interest. My partner bought a Coop and we absolutely love it! It’s full of tech and I love getting our own fresh eggs every morning ! ### 5/5 — New to Coop *2023-12-12, version 0.1.10* Was excited to hear about this app! Our family has always wanted to raise chickens so we’re glad to finally be able to reference a proper app to help us. Looking forward to growing with the platform and become professional chicken owners! 🙌🏼🐓 ### 5/5 — Egg-cellent App for Chicken Lovers! *2023-12-12, version 0.1.10* As a proud chicken parent, I never knew I needed an app like Coop until I downloaded it! This app is a clucking masterpiece with its incredible AI and computer vision capabilities. It’s like having a high-tech farmhand right in your pocket. First off, the predator detection feature is a game-changer. No more worrying about sneaky foxes or other critters. Coop sends me real-time alerts if it senses any threats, making sure my feathered friends are always safe. But wait, there’s more! The Chicken Tender service is what truly sets Coop apart. Planning a vacation used to be stressful, wondering who would look after my chickens. Now, with a tap, I can request a Chicken Tender – a trustworthy person who takes care of everything from feeding to coop cleaning while I’m away. It’s like Uber for chicken care! Lastly, the AI features are simply mind-blowing. Coop identifies each of my chickens, tracks their egg production, and even gives health tips. It’s like having a poultry expert in your pocket. In conclusion, Coop isn’t just an app; it’s a revolution for chicken enthusiasts. Download it and watch your chicken worries fly away! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
