Fun concept, but needs work. The app is laggy and awkward and generally feels like an iOS app that was hastily (and badly) ported to Android. Also, as others have mentioned, the solar cable routing needs serious improvement. I just don't bother to fill from the back because I know repeatedly opening and closing the door will break the cable eventually. Overall I'm enjoying my BB, but really hope improvements are coming considering how expensive it was.

Routinely misidentifies birds with the "new and improved" AI identifications. My bird buddy camera has stopped working multiple times. The first time I went through difficult and lengthy troubleshooting. This time the battery won't charge and I give up. The camera is now a piece of E-junk. At least the feeder is still intact and benefiting birds.

Exceptional support. The support team spent a considerable amount of time working with me on a concern/ potential issue I was having with my hummingbird feeder. Several people were involved. Even though most of our contact was done via email, we were in regular contact with each other as we did the trouble shooting. Great product, terrific people on the phone and behind the scenes.
