### 3/5 — Great with a few flaws

*2026-08-21, version 5.3.0*

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.

### 5/5 — GROOVY

*2026-08-20, version 5.3.0*

COOL SHHhhh

### 1/5 — Nothing without paid subscription

*2026-07-27, version 5.3.0*

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.

### 1/5 — A money grab

*2026-07-23, version 5.3.0*

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

### 4/5 — Junk

*2026-07-08, version 5.2.0*

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

### 1/5 — Greedy company

*2026-07-01, version 5.2.0*

I don’t know what my wife paid for this Father’s Day gift, but the app is terrible.  Non-stop hounding to get you to sign up for a subscription for something that should come included with the feeder.  Navigation through the app is choppy, it doesn’t do things it’s supposed to (like delete snaps), all the while, at every turn there’s a reminder to upgrade to a paid subscription.  I will not recommend this feeder nor app to anyone!

### 1/5 — Can’t talk to human being

*2026-06-14, version 5.2.0*

Worked great loved it best thing in the world
And then I change phones you’re talking to an AI. It can’t relate with you unbelievably aggravated. You could build something without customer. Service perception is real.

### 2/5 — Extremely Slow

*2026-06-14, version 5.2.0*

The app is extremely glitchy and slow.  Alerts will show up, but it takes 10 minutes or as much as 30 minutes for the photos to show up in the app.  It takes 20 seconds for the live feed to load. 

I would not recommend this feeder until they clean up the app and speed of loading photos and video stream.  

It’s really bad execution.

### 5/5 — 💖

*2026-06-12, version 5.2.0*

So much fun to see the hummingbirds!

### 5/5 — Best feeder

*2026-06-04, version 5.2.0*

I’m loving this feeder and it attracted birds immediately. Super easy to learn how to use and is great for learning about new species of birds! Definitely would recommend.
