  • Tricky for me but worth it

    The syncing to Bluetooth and WiFi got a little tricky but i figured out squaring away the synicing indoors first was helpful.

  • Not working

    I put in a login and password and it takes me right back to the screen to open a new account?

  • Recent struggles with IDing

    2
    By Pilotboy172
    Over the last few months (since adding this new AI stuff), the app FREQUENTLY gives an “Unknown” ID to a very clear and obvious species. Roughly 75% of my feed is “Unknown.” But clicking “ID with AI” identifies it correctly. How about you ID it with AI first rather than making me go through all these extra steps just to ID a bird and save it? The “Unknowns” on my feed are out of control.

  • Great Start - Day 1

    We set up our new Bird Buddy feeder and in our first hour welcomed the first visitor, a red colored House Finch. Today we also enjoyed seeing: Downy Woodpecker, Common Grackle ( likes to shovel seeds to the ground with its beak), and a Brown Headed Cowbird. The camera quality is excellent, very enjoyable. We also invited members of our family, and they are also enjoying the streaming connection. A great product!

  • Marketing notifications can’t be disabled

    This is an honest review being left as a challenge to the developer to stop notification spam. The app is probably a 3 star experience otherwise, but after making repeated support requests asking for marketing messages not be sent via app notifications — mixed with notifications I want like a bird notification — I really am going out of my way to leave a negative review. You’re killing your app with marketing. There are sales pitches everywhere. Upgrade here, subscribe there, just a few more days to buy a new feeder. Look, I am a developer too and understand the need to make your business profitable. But you’re having the opposite effect. It wasn’t like this when Bird Buddy first launched; I was one of the first customers. I follow you on social media, I get your emails. Don’t ruin my app with notifications I can’t opt out of about Kickstarters and subscription deals. I’ve had to disable app notifications because I don’t want your spam, but that means… I just don’t use your app anymore. And my expensive bird feeder is now just my smallest, least-squirrel proof, fussiest bird feeder. What a waste. I’d be happy to update my review if this is ever fixed, and I ever bother coming back to the app.

  • Beware

    Just a heads up, beware. The product seems fine, but if you want to share with family, it’s gonna cost you it’s another hundred dollar app. Sure you can invite guests and they can look at your postcards, but for them to look at streaming, it’ll cost you that hundred bucks, yearly. This is not a one and done, and I am very disappointed. The set up was not particularly easy. It took me some time to set the sink up so the rats and the squirrels didn’t get it. It’s not seamless. I don’t know what other products are out there, I’m not sure. And yeah, it’s cool to see a bird on the camera, this whole subscription thing is not worth it. If you’re buying it for yourself fine. Otherwise don’t bother.

  • Wish app had daily screen shots

    I wish app could see thumbnails with calendar

  • Sends ads via push notifications

    The app has started displaying ads through push notifications again. They send push notifications advertising their other products, with no way to turn these off unless you also turn off live bird notifications. Sad and spammy. Especially since I paid for their premium service. :(

  • Ads and upsells in notifications

    By jburgher
    No way to opt out of ads for Bird Buddy products and accessories that are sent via notifications. The app itself also consistently opens with pop-ups for upsells of products or their premium service. I get more notifications and communications about their Kickstarter than birds. Already spent a premium on the hardware, but stuck with paywalled features and upselling baked into the software. Actively telling people to avoid this until notification settings are more customizable.

  • My BB is awesome!

    Who would’ve thought birdfeeder and High Tech belonged in the same sentence? There are so many features and benefits that bring tons of fun to the bird watcher and in turn the mini little fine feathered friends nurturing on the perch! Well, done Bird Buddy Team… keep those innovations coming!
