Some users also report solar/charging related battery life issues. Overall, hardware quality and community features are praised, but the app’s reliability and AI features need significant improvement.

- AI bird identification is unreliable or wrong, with many wanting an option to disable it.
- App stability issues and bugs (firmware updates, login problems, navigation/readability) across devices.
- Battery/charging problems related to the solar panel or indoor charging, causing short battery life or slow charging.
