What?!?
I have an iPhone. I downloaded the app. I have Bluetooth activated on my phone. I charged the camera etc etc etc. I absolutely CANNOT get this thing to pair/work. I guess I just wasted all my time & money.
What happened to Wing Buddy?
I can no longer see community pictures or download to my photos app on iPhone. Did you remove this function?
Forced to go Pro?
I hate to write a bad review of a product I really do enjoy but it’s become almost unusable and I think they know it. Every few minutes I get an alert that I have a new bird. Exciting! But 90% of the time it’s a squirrel. My postcard feed is mostly squirrels. Not BB’s fault of course. They even have a feature where you can ignore certain species and not get notified about them. Perfect! But wait…that feature is only available for a monthly subscription fee. Now I get it. Even if you buy their hardware (feeder/camera), you need to pay them MONTHLY to avoid being spammed by alerts for something their vaunted AI could easily just prevent showing you. It’s like they’re deliberately spamming me now to get me to subscribe. They clearly know the data around the number of squirrels they’re alerting users about and they saw a chance to make a buck. Really too bad they don’t consider this a basic feature since without it their product is annoying rather than fun.
Worth the $$!!!
This is by far, the absolute best bird feeder ever! It captures several pics of your visitors and even makes a short video! The best Christmas I have ever gotten ! It’s so fun classifying each bird and seeing what each one likes to eat, and just get to know more about them. Highly recommend!!
Good luck if you have an IPad
You can’t register from an iPad because there’s a weird grayed out box that covers the select username and EULA agreement. Probably because it’s formatted for an iPhone? The app is kind of slow connecting to the camera and pictures kind of disappear after you take them. If you want to identify the birds it seems to disappear for quite a while. Does a human actually look at them. I don’t know.
Best gift ever
My son had know idea how excited I am to see a visitor! It’s funny to watch the couples show up and share a meal together
False advertising
I spent $300 on this bird feeder and using the camera’s full resolution is blocked behind a monthly subscription service. This is offensive. Also offensive is that I can’t access my own photos without obnoxious bird buddy advertisements stuck in the pictures. It’s a shame, I really like it otherwise, but it’s flagrant false advertising to claim a high res camera and to show bird photos without the giant bird buddy branding plastered across them.
