Birdfy

I have been using this app for several months now. Overall the app itself is not bad. The UI is ok even though they have moved some items around over time. The not great part is the paid "AI" feature. My understanding is that you must have it to get identification of the birds that the camera records. The "AI" (I use the term in quotation marks because the intelligence part is a joke) frequently identifies a bird as 3 or 4 or more species that are wildly incorrect.

I actually really like the product and app, BUT the Android version will apparently not let me fully turn off alerts. Android app permissions screen only lets me put alerts on "Silent" so my phone does not chime or vibrate when an alert is triggered, but they still stack up on my phone and my laptop which is linked to my phone, every time something moves within the frame of the camera at all, which is a lot! Had to log out of my account on the app to stop the alerts. 5 stars if fixed.

Camera works great, but the app misidentifies birds constantly, deleted moments instantly return (after already having spent a decent amount of time identifying them), and everyone using swipe for back/more menu options is killing every mobile experience because you have to swipe so delicately or else you're going to the last screen instead of accessing that extra options you needed. UX/UI design is dead.
