Birdbuddy: ID & Collect Birds

doubtful rating

This is a smart camera feeder, and it genuinely brings people joy watching birds, filming videos, collecting a bird gallery, and sharing with family. But after updates the automatic bird ID, the very reason people bought the 200-plus-dollar device, was locked behind a subscription, access for a second family member also costs extra, and the flood of dozens of identical sparrow notifications cannot be properly muted.

About the rating

Store 4.8 against a text average of 3.34 and only 38 percent five-stars, a huge gap. Reviews are concrete and consistent on one complaint: bird ID, the main reason for buying the 200-dollar hardware, went behind a subscription. Five-stars are more about the joy of the feeder than the product itself.
