Project FeederWatch for Negative User Reviews

✓ The android app worked last year, iPhone does notI’m not able to login. Keeps saying that my login or password is incorrect (it’s not) or that my account is new and hasn’t been activated (it’s not new). Just have to go back to paper this year. This app has always been bad - infrequently updated , not much response from Cornell. Their other apps are really good. I don’t know why this one is so bad. It’s really discouraging since again we all pay to participate in this project..MMaschineVersion: 1.30.07

✓ NDoesn't work. Account not found message every time I sign in. Even though I have reset the account details multiple times. Probably going to delete.Bike rack 17Version: 1.1.14

✓ Server issuesI downloaded it and the server doesn’t want to connect.Joe's bookVersion: 1.1.17

✓ Makes the count harderThis is duplicative since it doesn’t have all functions of count, and it does not save counts of birds not on the expected species list. I will have to use paper and submit on the website (I would have to submit/edit on the website even if I did use the app)..PregoodVersion: 1.33.02

✓ AppThis is the second time I’m reinstalling this app in iPhone. Both times because the app would go to a totally black screen after appearing to be launching - powering off/on didn’t rectify situation. I’ve lost my latest bird count due to this black screen lock up..PambirdsVersion: 1.1.17

✓ Great until yesterdayYesterday I was not able to enter our Feeder Watch count…the app, when it finally came up, just freezes. It is so disappointing! This is our second year counting for Feeder Watch and I’ve not had a problem recording the birds before. Prior to now, the app has been very easy to use..Mari9876Version: 1.33.02

✓ UpsetI can’t, no matter what log in to my “account”. I just downloaded it, each with new usernames and passwords, none of them have let me pass. Very upset..FshnrdVersion: 1.1.14

✓ Can’t alter/fix incorrect bird countThis app is so frustrating I may quit Feeder Watch altogether, which is sad because I love birds. I’ve used this app for several hours and discovered it will not let me fix an incorrect bird ID. I can add sightings but not delete any of them after I hit one wrong button. It just won’t zero out that bird. It’s so discouraging that the app failed to work within minutes of me downloading it. So I’m going back to using the website on my phone, which also has drawbacks. Cornell’s computer engineering team was obviously not consulted by its ornithology department…or those schools are just very bad at what they are studying..Birdless in PDXVersion: 1.30.07

✓ Terrible won’t let me log inThis app is horrible, I can’t even use it. I made a account twice and I activated it. When ever I tried to log in, it would show the same message. The message would say my account hasn’t been activated yet. Even though I clearly activated it. It will not let me log in at all. Horrible..Pomh20🦊Version: 1.30.07

✓ Doesn’t connectI tried using this app last winter. At first it worked. Then it stopped working. Every time I tried to use it I got it an error message saying it couldn't connect with Feederwatch..Df5491Version: 1.1.17

✓ Not ready for prime timeI have used this app on my iPad for several seasons, but it is a pain to use. Sometimes it doesn’t want to recognize my login. Worse is it locks up for no clear reason. Just now it locked after I had entered most of my data. I won’t try again with this app, but enter data online..CreekspiritVersion: 1.33.02

✓ App is finicky and buggyI've been using this app for 3 winters now, and it's frustrating. It has always had problems syncing properly with the website. Now the most recent update, which fixed a login problem, causes the app to freeze up on my iPhone after using it for about 2 minutes. When this app works, it's convenient. I just wish it worked more consistently..JuneTveeVersion: 1.32.00

✓ Freezes repeatedlyApp works well, until it doesn’t. Repeatedly freezes to the point that the only way to get it working in the middle of a count is to repeatedly power off and on my iPhone..THWKRVersion: 1.1.0

✓ BuggyI have to go back to the webpage to enter my counts. After downloading the latest version from the app,store, I still could enter my dates. I can enter the first date, then it pops to a later month and asks for the second date. Given I can’t get past the dates I can’t enter anything. The app supposedly checks if I have the current version and it doesn’t report a problem, however when I go to the App Store there is a newer version, which I downloaded to have the problems mentioned above. Disappointing given that Cornell has a very highly rated Computer Science program☹️.Mmr-foodVersion: 1.1.14

✓ NuisanceApp almost never works. Connection fails repeatedly and overall is slow to respond even if you can connect. I try to use it but find myself using the website instead. May as well delete the app..Juhnny19Version: 1.33.02

✓ App needs a lot of work...Be prepared to refresh this app frequently and be patient, as it is very poorly implemented. It freezes often, the link to "Contact Us" doesn't work, and sometimes needs to be rebooted before a count can be submitted. It feels like a student project that was never completed before the student graduated and left it unfinished. I mean how many apps need to "connect to server" before it can launch. The good thing is that the counts aren't lost during all the refreshes and reboots so eventually the count can get submitted , assuming you get past your frustration with using this poorly implemented app..Vduu you if to nkVersion: 1.33.02

✓ Latest update doesn’t workDownloaded update on May 6 and it doesn’t work at all. Directs me to log in on the Cornell web site, which I successfully do, but app still does not load any of my previously submitted info..AswaswaswsVersion: 1.30.05

✓ Needs workThe app has several flaws. It frequently opens to a blank black screen. If birds are recorded on the app but submitted through a browser the app doesn’t recognize it. It’s then a difficult, sometimes impossible process to start a new count on the app. Sometimes entering the total observation doesn’t work unless you hold your tongue correctly and it’s easier to record the count incrementally. Tedious with large counts..BarplunkettVersion: 1.33.02

✓ No help. they do not keep up with updatesNo effective help. No way to see site details, including address, of your own site, just payment/fundraising information. Every time Apple updates their software, logins become a nightmare for months. This is my last year. I have pads full of data that I never got on the system . I spend more time wrestling with the app than counting birds..HelenD1899Version: 1.1.17

✓ Où est le lien pour le français?Je ne trouve pas la façon d’aller à la version française? Pourtant disponible sur le web....Pierre's fdrVersion: 1.1.14
