Great with a few flaws
The main flaws are with the app. It looks like a game, and you have to collect seed every day to get a little widget off the screen. I had to create an entirely new account because all my videos were frozen “in progress”. Customer service never fixed it for me, though they did send me a new camera (not the seed hopper). The app keeps prompting me to subscribe even though I already do. I can’t access my videos, or my bird book without getting the pop-ups asking me to subscribe. I have to quit the app and reopen it sometimes more than once to get that pop-up to go away. Until the next time. Customer service said to delete my camera and re-add it. That’s an inconvenience. This app should work and you shouldn’t need to keep messing with it to get what you pay for.
The solar battery holds a good charge and the solar panel works well. Large hopper. Wide angle camera. Good quality photos and videos.

COOL SHHhhh
Nothing without paid subscription
So frustrated with this camera. I purchased it to give to a friend who is older and would like to see hummingbirds. SO GLAD I also purchased one for myself. I would never give a gift that had a cost associated with it. I am unable to even delete a snapshot without a subscription. I can’t view a video without downloading it which requires a subscription. Complete waste. Get yourself a bird buddy! No subscription required! These are junk! My nectar leaks from the bottom also. Poor design.

A money grab
Disappointed in how limited this app is without buying a premium plan. Most cheap wifi cameras on the market will support local SD storage and access of video and photos- this app limits photo storage for 72 hours and won’t let you view recorded videos unless you have a subscription. The hardware is mostly very well engineered (except I had to use tape to keep the camera from falling out of the feeder with the slightest bump) but requiring a subscription to use basic features makes this a one star. Received this as a gift- would not recommend buying for yourself. Buy a standard bird feeder and a cheap eufy or even blink camera to get free local storage of bird videos

Junk
I cannot get this thing to work. It goes round in circles. I have no control over it. They make you pay for it. The free app doesn’t let you do a single thing. I cannot even delete the pictures that come in. They just keep building up. Every time I want to do something it asks me to choose a plan. I use continue without a plan and the same message comes back for me to choose a plan. It’s not excepting the free plan. So. The free plan is useless. This was given as a gift because of my health and they knew I love watching birds. If I had a receipt, I would return it because it’s useless to me. What a sad sad
