### 5/5 — FIXED!!!AI or Live feed not working

*2026-06-29*

Edit to add they have fixed ALL the issues and now this thing is performing above its cost. Great product and a neat way to watch nature

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-06-01*

I’m not sure why anyone would say this is user friendly - it’s not. The feeder itself is fine. The camera has good resolution and seems well built. I’ve had it for a year and the app keeps getting worse. Now I get random recording lengths mostly 2sec and the videos are not in chronological order so I have no idea which ones I’ve watched. 

Until the app is improved I would not recommend this.

### 2/5 — Gets worse with every update, won’t load livestream

*2026-05-29*

Terrible app, it won’t load the live stream. no time stamps are accurate anymore and all the video recordings throughout the day are completely out of order. It completely misses and doesn’t record every time it catches movement and I mean like it won’t even catch me slowly walking up to it. It has degraded severely over the past few months and the AI is terrible. It used to function decently enough but it’s been getting worse with every update. They’re actively removing features like the daily album WITH timestamps.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-28*

I have been using the app now for about 3 months now.   I’m so happy when I get notification of having a visitor.  App is very user friendly and I love that you can download the videos to show family and friends what kinds of birds visited.

### 5/5 — This is so much fun

*2026-05-20*

I’ve learned so much about the birds in my yard from this feeder. Bird species I’ve never seen before, I’m now able to watch them on the app. In real time if I want! The app is super simple to set up and you can save and share photos and videos to your phone and share with your friends or on social media. Never a problem with WiFi signal or losing connection. This thing is great!

### 5/5 — Fun and educational

*2026-05-20*

Absolutely love this app as it sends me info when birds are at my feeder and can identify them for me. I can also share them with my friends and family. It is also a very intuitive and easy app to use.

### 2/5 — AI snap shots never work

*2026-05-13*

I pay for premium service and although the camera works good and the 2 way mic function is a bit choppy and garbled but that’s not why I use it. 

 Any time I try to AI capture a moment no matter how clear the picture it’s unidentifiable.  

 I know they are all sparrows and finches in my area with a few random pigeons mixed in but I’d like to get what I pay for.

### 3/5 — It’s ok but I would have went a different thought

*2026-05-12*

We got our Peckperk as a gift. We were very excited and have been let down. The app takes so long to connect if it does that by the time it connects the bird(s) have already left. The squirrel deterrent is just an annoying alarm that bothers me more than the squirrels. It does nothing to keep the squirrels from emptying it out in a day or too. 

I gave it a benefit of the doubt and added a premium subscription. It has done mother. The AI does not work. More importantly majority of the time it doesn’t even recognize my subscription.

### 2/5 — Horrible AI. Slow to load. Difficult to use.

*2026-03-16*

First the set up. To try and get it to pair with my network took about a dozen tries. 

Second is the system itself. Trying to share access with someone else seems impossible. The Help section says it is easy, but to do so you have to click on buttons that are not there. 

And then there is the AI. When you are staring at a beautiful cardinal that is well lit the AI cannot identify it, saying the image is too blurry or dark. When it does pick up the cardinal, it identifies it as a squirrel.

### 1/5 — New Update Made App Unusable!

*2026-02-15, version 2.4.0*

I used to use this app daily and now it freezes constantly after the newest update. It’s almost unusable. Please fix this asap!
