  • The camera won’t even come on…

    This app is so annoying because everyone else’s seems to work but our Pawbo won’t work. We bought it brand new and when we downloaded the app and went through all the steps, we tapped the play button to use the camera, but when we went on we were just stuck on the cat and dog loading screen thingy. We still can hear noise and stuff but we can’t use any of the icons to do anything on the app. So disappointing wish I could give this app a 0 star…
  • Doesn’t work and cannot connect to website provided for support

    I’m really disappointed that the device will not connect to WiFi. When I tried to go to the site for assistance it says no IP address. For the price we paid I’d expect it to work or at least have assistance with set up. Will be returning the device.
  • This app is roughhh.

    I love the camera itself but this app needs some work. It’s often laggy to the point of the app crashing, the voice feature makes the app completely freeze for several seconds, then speed up to real time and then freeze again. I’ve deleted the app & redownloaded, restarted my device, changed networks for the camera and my phone and restored and set up my phone as new. It’s all the same. The interface is minimal at best and is cluttered. It looks like it was made for an older iOS and then just never updated. I want to love this product but this app REALLY diminishes the overall quality. Hopefully this can be remedied soon but I’m not holding out much hope.
  • Never connects

    I have been trying to connect for the last 3 months. It just does not work.
  • Great app

    Love the function. Can watch my cat where ever I go. Thanks!
  • Rarely connects

    I’m rarely able to connect, and when I do, it’s very slow and choppy.
  • Not too good

    I was able to connect fine, from anywhere, for the first couple of weeks. Now I can’t get it to connect from anywhere except my living room where the pawbo is located. I don’t really need to connect from my living room because I’m right there and can see for myself what my dogs are doing... This has been very disappointing.

  • Doesn’t work

    I bought this mid February, 2020. It worked for a week, now it only shows up as ‘disconnected’ I re-installed it, same problem. There’s no support, their site is now in Russian, I will be returning this ASAP. Too bad, it was fun playing with the cats while I’m at work, thanks for nothing Pawbo.

  • How the hell do we get ahold of support?!

    ?!
  • Absolutely Horrid App

    Who designed this travesty of an app? After connecting for the first time last night I have not been able to re-connect to the video stream. There is no other option to troubleshoot than to click the refresh button or start from the beginning and re-do the entire setup. The FAQ page leads to a 404 error and the rest of the app is absolutely bare. Even when the stream was momentarily working the feed was choppy and blurred and the controls are jerky and poorly responsive. Returning this product and deleting this app ASAP - avoid the headache and just look for another pet cam.
