App fine at first, however I've had it for nearly a year now and it's only gotten worse. Only useful while I had the pro subscription for $6 a month, and was basically useless with the free version. Not only is the app still just as clunky, it also does not recognize any birds. I tested the photos it didn't recognize on chat GPT and it had no issue with recognition. When free AI bots can recognize birds better than your app and you paywall my hardware, you're trash! MAKE AN API FOR MY HARDWARE!

This is a very good app and a very good bird feeder, the one suggestion I have is I really with there was a way to trim the videos for each visit. The videos so often are 30 or 60 seconds, yet there's only a 1.5 second blip in the middle of the video that actually has birds. If I could trim down the video manually like how I can select the good pictures, I could save a lot of space

Hey, Zach! Thanks for letting us know. It's a great suggestion and I'll make sure to pass it on to our team. Our AI already does some trimming but it still has more to learn! That said, please note that any postcards you save in the app, are saved on our servers and don't take up any space on your device! 😄

I love my Bird Buddy and think it's honestly wonderful. My criticisms are of the app alone. The app updated but my suggestions remain: I wish there was a way to multi select and bulk delete postcards within collections. Right now it's very tedious. Also, when a photo is identified incorrectly, I can't move it because it's the cover postcard for the (wrong) species. I should be allowed to delete it and have the species removed especially if it's the only image for it and it's wrong.

Hello! Thanks for your feedback! Regarding bulk deleting postcards, you can both bulk save or delete any new postcards but we're working on making it possible to bulk delete them within collections, too. You can read about the cover postcard issue here: https://bit.ly/4c3pKVC
