VicoHome: Smart Home Camera

Setup was easy. UI for rest of app, especially viewing and deleting videos from the bird feeder, is clunky and not intuitive. Since videos are best viewed in landscape mode, it would be nice if the list of videos could also be viewed in landscape mode so that you could switch back and forth between those two screens without having to keep rotating your phone.

Camera is great and app has potential. But it rarely identifies a bird correctly. It labels it as the wrong species or thinks it's a person or pet. This isn't that big of a deal, except that my feathered visitors section is full of errors that (according to the dev) can't be removed. I was really looking forward to keeping track of the birds that have REALLY visited. Plus, getting notifications (in error) that there's a person in your yard is a bit alarming/annoying.

Basically Adware. Even though you purchased hardware for a substantial price, the app will constantly bombard you with "optional" ads and up-sells to the point where you have to wade through X boxes in order to actually use the device you purposed. This isn't a piece of hardware, but an ad-delivery service. There are better platforms/devices out there that don't hold the hardware hostage. I recommend using them instead.
