The latest version of the Android app is significantly broken on my phone, after working fine in previous versions. I cannot download or share photos now. The quick download button throws up an unhelpful error message with no suggestion for resolution. The share button now saves a text file instead of the photo itself. It's not a permissions issue, I checked, it's just hosed. Phone is a Samsung A14. If this doesn't get fixed then I'll take it down and cancel my order for the hummingbird feeder.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback and we're sorry to hear that! Please update your app to the latest version (3.0.2) if you haven't yet and reach out to our Support Team if the issue persists: https://support.mybirdbuddy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new 🐦 Reinstalling the app might work, too! (log in w/ the same credentials to not lose photos).

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! 😄

Update: this is an enormous waste of money unless you are prepared to subscribe to pro to make it usable. It is pretty disingenuous to market it without making this very clear. Wring out the cash! My $300 bird feeder is good, but very expensive. The premium subscription being required to not be irritated by repeat, constant misidentification, is not good. Be serious.

Hi, Sam! The pro subscription is not required but it does give access to some additional features such as ignoring certain species when they're recognized. That said, we want to thank you for your feedback and it's valuable for us to improve our users' experience in any way possible. 😊
