I'm unhappy with the latest version. I liked flipping thru photos from around the world. Now you can only watch videos. That's too time consuming. Responding to developer's reply: neither of those options are great. Why would I want to see more photos of the same birds that I already see? As for connecting to another BB, I did that once and saw one postcard of one bird. No, I prefered taking a minute and flipping thru a couple dozen postcards from around the world. That was awesome

Hi, Kathy! Thank you for your feedback. You can still see Community photos by opening the species folder in your Collection, and you might want to connect to a BB Explore feeder to see postcards from elsewhere! šŸ˜„

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 šŸ¦ Reinstalling the app might work, too! (log in w/ the same credentials to not lose photos).

I like that it says bird species and that when they get it wrong, which happens a lot, it let's you change it. However 3 star because it's not an intuitive or streamlined app. Going to notifications sets you back to the main page which it doesn't let you set. Everytime you fly away, it doesn't take you back to where you were but to the main gallery page. When you go into savings pics, you get sent back to the main page all the way at the top even if you scrolled half way down. Super annoying
