Soliom Pro

Important to note, to save or send videos, you must allow FULL Access to your photos which raises red flags. To use the AI feature for my bird camera, I had to sign up for $2.99/mo (now increased to $6.99!). The AI is not accurate. It falsely identifies birds as hawks, parakeets and species I’ve heard of because they aren’t in this region. It also falsely tells me it sees a person, pet, vehicle. At $2.99 it was a fun novelty. The user interface is clunky and should play videos in succession without going back a screen and selecting another. Only 1 app login allowed at the same time, so using on 2 devices requires signing out of one then into the other. Stupid.

I honestly have loved this feeder since I got it for Christmas. And I added the basic AI membership to be able to learn about the birds visiting the feeder. This morning, I received a notification that the $2.99 fee is being increased to $6.99 a month!! More than doubling is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. And of course it’s too late to return and get something else. Avoid this bait and switch company!

Mostly great, the bird fans beta think my white-winged doves are people, though. Would be great if there was an Apple TV app or HomeKit integration so I could let my kitties watch the BirdCam on BirdTV lol!!

I have the app on my phone and iPad. Every time I open the app it says that my account is being used on another device and it makes me sign in every time. Absolute garbage. Why can’t I use this on more than one device?

We purchased the yearly AI pro for our Soliom pro bird feeder a couple days ago and has yet to show up on our app at all. I’m not sure what to do at this point, 89 bucks a year for something we haven’t been able to use. I hope I can find a way to resolve it.

Our BF-09 is supposed to identify bird species. It instead shows a bird as a pet or a person. Not once has it called a bird a bird let alone identify what species of bird. I contacted support and all they did was send instructions on how to set up the app which I’ve already done.

App does what it’s supposed to do. I like the user sharing feature. Only thing is I want to download and share bird videos , but the app demands full access to my photos on my device. This is unacceptable, I only need to allow the app to add videos or selectively choose which to share. I’m not giving this company full access to read and view my photos without my knowledge.

So this app is used to interact with the camera bird feeder. It takes video of birds and then gives you the option to save those videos to your phone so you can share them with friends. This should ONLY require “Limited Access” permissions on IOS, which allows the app to store videos in your photos library. However, when you grant this permission it still won’t let you save the photo and keeps prompting you to give it FULL access which is not necessary just to save the videos. Giving full access is giving this random Chinese company access to your entire photo library. Every photo and video stored on your phone. It can add, modify, delete, anything it wants. Since it’s an app on your phone, it can even send all of your pictures and videos back to its manufacturer. This is a HUGE red flag and massive security issue. I refused to grant that level of access to my personal life to a bird feeder and returned it. Pay attention to the permissions you are granting this thing folks.

The indicator lights keep turning off and on all the time. It’s draining the battery and they are set to off. Might be scaring the birds away too as activity is down. :( and if you let us grade if your bird selection is right i will tell your AI all the birds. You can use where they are located to narrow down the list as well. It keeps suggesting exotic species native to completely other countries.

Perhaps it’s a good app but I will not agree to use it until the User Agreement is available on the app for review. The link doesn’t work. There is too much abuse by app developers of our personal data (ie TikTok is a great example… if you’re using it, they have access to other data on your phone upon your consent). Please don’t blindly accept these user agreements!
