Coop: Tech for Happy Chickens

We've had the Coop cam for about a year and I finally deleted the app today. When it works it's mediocre at best. You can see your chickens and ensure they're OK sometimes. The problems are many. Often the live stream doesn't work/won't connect. The microphone never has worked and it misses predators and then alerts on nothing--it'll say a dog has been detected but there's nothing on the playback at all that the app even identifies as a dog. The last straw for me was when it logged me out for the millionth time and insisted I needed to set up my camera again, but was still sending me alerts--low battery, dogs--all the while saying there was no camera on my account. When I did try and put the camera back on, it wanted me to pay a subscription. I've never paid one before, not going to now for something that doesn't work. And forgot customer service. I've sent the issues to them and never received anything in response. Try another camera.

I’ll update this as we go. We chose these cameras over the blink cameras for the AI. Really excited to get them up and running. But the app doesn’t save anything. MULTIPLE tries to get email links to work and so far they don’t. The app looks great and was well thought out. Not a lot of chicken breeds in the Flock section to add your birds. I was surprised. Over all it looks like a great idea but hasn’t had all the kinks worked out. We are still excited about the cameras and hopefully I can update this review with good news.

As a proud chicken parent, I never knew I needed an app like Coop until I downloaded it! This app is a clucking masterpiece with its incredible AI and computer vision capabilities. It’s like having a high-tech farmhand right in your pocket. First off, the predator detection feature is a game-changer. No more worrying about sneaky foxes or other critters. Coop sends me real-time alerts if it senses any threats, making sure my feathered friends are always safe. But wait, there’s more! The Chicken Tender service is what truly sets Coop apart. Planning a vacation used to be stressful, wondering who would look after my chickens. Now, with a tap, I can request a Chicken Tender – a trustworthy person who takes care of everything from feeding to coop cleaning while I’m away. It’s like Uber for chicken care! Lastly, the AI features are simply mind-blowing. Coop identifies each of my chickens, tracks their egg production, and even gives health tips. It’s like having a poultry expert in your pocket. In conclusion, Coop isn’t just an app; it’s a revolution for chicken enthusiasts. Download it and watch your chicken worries fly away!
