Bird Buddy: Tap Into Nature

My Sis shared with me & my mom her birdbuddy (with invitation code), and now neither of us can open the app.

Unless you are new to Bird Buddy and saving everything no matter what, the most commonly used button for more seasoned Bird Buddy users (that are more selective with what is actually worth saving) is the discard button. This latest update buries that button in a Multi-Option menu. What used to be a simple single click is now multi-click. What I don’t understand is why “share” stays on as a single click when I don’t think I’ve ever used it but once or twice in the past 1.5 years to share a clip with my a family member. If you have to bury something, bury share and give us back a single click discard please. Even if you don’t bury the share button, there’s still plenty of screen real estate to put a single click discard back where it is supposed to be. Heck, even just putting a red trash can icon on the screen will do the trick. I really don’t understand what the devs were thinking by burying the most used button, but I’m hopeful they’ll correct this mistake. Under Frenzy mode in my Pro account, I probably discard 25 to 30 sessions a day and save something from maybe 1 to 3 sessions a day. Easy to use discard is a must. If not for this mistake, this is easily a 5 star app.

I found this years ago on a Kickstarter. It has turned out to be an amazing investment. The camera in the feeder is wonderful. I get fantastic pictures and sound. What a great way to watch your winged visitors.

Watching a community of birds is a great thing —- just wish I could deter the squirrels!

Updated to 3.0.4 today and cannot save photos on my iPhone. Now it takes multiple clicks to remove a visitor. What was a good functioning app is now an abomination. Please revert to the previous version now!!!

I loved my Bird Buddy when I first got it but then they added “premium” features and seemingly made the free stuff not work as great. For example, I sometimes don’t get notified of birds until 3 days after they visited; it also seems to miss a lot of them now too.

I LOVE being so personal with my nearby bird buddies!!!

My husband bought me this amazing feeder as a gift. I absolutely love it! Sure it’s pricey, but if you truly love birds, you won’t be disappointed!

They made it faster to review and save some of the buddies. Much easier to take a minute and open it and peruse the visitors. Yay!

Love what you do, but sure wish you would answer the phone when we have a question. Take a hint from Apple re customer service.
