Terrible

Constantly gets disconnected and you have to uninstall every single thing and reinstall it and it is extremely annoying. I do not recommend this app or this bird feeder.

Terrible camera

Frustrating

So Frustrating Since App change to PerchLens

Worked fine as Birdfy. Not the best but still working. As soon as it switched to PerchLens everything stopped working. I notice that there are no longer any developer responses to reviews either. I’m thinking this is no longer a functioning company and we’ve all been left hanging out to dry. So frustrating.

Garbage!

Do you remember that we have bought expensive cameras to be able to watch and record birds! And you do not even try to fix your app! How come this app was fine when it was Birtdty and now that you renamed it to this stupid name “percelens” it’s complete garbage??? Please fix this app, you owe it to the people who have purchased cameras tied to your application!

Will not connect

Have tried to get this camera to connect to WiFi for weeks. It will not connect. The troubleshooting and FAQs are not helpful and to get some kind of support you have to take a video showing how it won’t connect. Like, I need to prove it to you? Why would I waste my time asking for support if it actually worked? I’d rather have it just work and not have to waste my time trying to make it work

Used to work

We have both hummingbird and regular camera feeders. They used to work great…up until recently. Now the hummingbird one won’t connect to WiFi and the other doesn’t recognize visitors

App does not work anymore

Used to work fine when it was Birdty. But after changing to PerchLens does not work. Looking at the other most recent reviews this seems common. Fix this!

Brick

Quit recording after 3 months.

Doesn’t work

Couldn’t get the live camera to work despite dozens of tries. A true disappointment. I hope this gets fixed, otherwise this device is just an overpriced bird feeder.

Doesn’t work

This app is very buggy and won’t even connect to the camera.

Update broken

3 weeks ago they updated the app. It disconnected my wifi and now it won’t reconnect. They need to fix this.

Doesn’t work properly

Doesn’t keep the settings such as recording length, squirrel deterrent etc. also doesn’t record all birds. Just saw a blue jay outside on the feeder and it didn’t record. Disappointed!

What the hell happened??

They switched from Birdty and now nothing works my camera randomly disconnected and now I cannot for the life of me get the app to add it back. What the hell is going on here???

App Is Awful

Tried many times to sign up with no success

Worthless

Trying to get my camera to connect again and it won’t move on to next step after recognizing the QR code

worked as birdty

i had it set up and it worked perfectly as birdty and then i disconnected it to prepare for my move and when i logged back in, it was perchlens and won’t even pair my camera anymore. i’ve spent days trying to connect it again. it’s basically useless at this point 🙄

App okay, photos on ads are not!

No app- but ***especially*** one listed as ages 4+ -should have pornographic-looking photos on ads in the app! My kids use the app and I would be mortified if they saw these Temu ads on your app.

Unreliable

As per the title

So far so good

Been working great so far no issues

Cannot connect

The app connected originally, but then it disconnected, and I will not reconnect. Doesn’t seem like the camera will read the QR code. Will return to Costco.
