User Reviews

Most reviews express frustration with the new Vico Nature app, citing unreliable AI IDs, frequent connectivity issues, and a clunky UI after migration from Vico Home. A minority still enjoys birdwatching and sees some improvement over the old app, but subscription requirements and loss of older videos/features are common pain points.
Pros
  • Overall enjoyment of birdwatching using the app and perceived value for observing birds.
  • The new app is viewed by some as an improvement over the previous Vico Home version.
  • The AI bird identification feature is valued by some users.
  • Some reviewers find the app easy to set up and get running.
Cons
  • AI identification is unreliable and often incorrect; users can’t manually label unidentified birds.
  • Live view and connectivity problems are common (live view won’t load, sign-in/out issues, intermittent 'try again later' messages).
  • Navigation and UI flow are less intuitive in the new app (calendar/history hard to access, large thumbnails, per-camera view changes).
  • Forced subscription/paywall concerns; users feel essential features require paid plans.
  • Migration issues from the old app lead to loss of access to older videos and features.

I’ve had this bird feeder and the associated app for over a year. Most of the time if it’s connected to WiFi it doesn’t recognize birds and when it does it doesn’t recognize species. The WiFi comes and goes but I don’t have any issues with other devices. I won’t renew and I suggest you don’t waste your money.

My wife purchased this as a Christmas gift to me in December 2026. I’m beginning to think this is a piece of junk. I have tried to download the paid for the bird identification software but keep getting the message that my payment method failed, even though I hadn’t entered any credit card info. I cannot open the “Acount information”, nor go I get decipherable no responses from the company. Anyone have any suggestions? Please respond to my request.
