Improving with each release

This app improves with each release. It’s good. It will get better

The device is awesome, support not so much

Being able to listen to the birds outside while I’m warm inside is amazing. I love it and will often leave the app running all day when I’m home.
But when my device stops working, it takes several days to weeks to get a response from Support. There’s no trouble-shooting feature in the app. It’s impossible to log into the terralistens website to check on the status of my ticket.

what happened?

What happened with the last release? I can no longer live stream from my unit, or listen to any of the past recordings.

Excellent concept, poor execution

This app is very frustrating because the concept is excellent, but the execution is poor. The sound ID system regularly misses Northern Cardinals, but flags my neighbors dog as a Great Blue Heron. The app is unintuitive and buggy. It doesn’t actually stop playing when you hit stop, so it drains battery until you force quit the app. The Live Map and Radio Tags parts are impossible to use because of the overload of data and lack of filters.

Unit does not stream

Support gave led status check info which appears normal. Unit online. Nothing further received from support to requests for resolution.
