    I tried using this to monitor a new bird feeder, but wasn't able to make it work - even at high sensitivity and no delay. The UI, particularly the screen where you set the detection area, is very broken on tablets, but possible to make work. I hope to us

    App shows a lot of promise, but I was disappointed. I cannot drag the box that detects movement into the center of my screen. Then later my screen images started being cut in half. This app is not usable at present time. I do hope these bugs will be fix
