  • Love my Pawbo

    I don’t understand the negative reviews for this app. I have never had any issues with it. I used it while I was away on vacation, and my cat was with my sister. Both my cat and my sister’s cat would come running every time the Pawbo turned on because they built an association with the sound of it turning on and knew they would get treats and a laser. Their reactions to hearing my voice is so cute! They definitely knew it was my voice. Basically, I got a great view of them every time I wanted to, and it was just what I needed because I missed my kitty while I was away. Sometimes I find myself getting bored and checking in to see what she is up to, even when I’m not on vacation.
  • Buyer beware- do not purchase

    I wouldn’t have bought this if I knew the frame rate was gonna be 20prm. Fix you app and I’ll give you a better review.
  • Great way to check in with the pets!

    We really enjoy this app/product to check in on our two cats. The treat motivated cat, Chuck, usually gets in position in front of the camera before the stream even starts!

    Neither of them is very interested in the laser and two way video would be interesting, though not sure the cats would get anything from it, but they definitely do respond to our voices.

    Every time we open this while traveling and show others, they all are interested in getting their own.
  • Does not work

    Won’t connect to my camera. Stays at 90 and won’t count down.
  • Disappointing

    I recently moved to a new house. Finally got it up and running. .... works. You can hear it but you can’t see it 😏
  • Does not work properly

    Will not show home network on the screen and will be stuck counting down from 90 indefinitely.
  • [workaround] iOS 13 doesn’t work

    If you just bought a Pawbo like I did and you’re on iOS 13 you won’t be able to set it up. What I saw was that my WiFi router name didn’t appear when I tried to connect and then the next screen (which is a 90 second countdown while it connects) sat on 90 indefinitely.

    To get around this I used an old iOS device, downloaded the app, and it all worked really smoothly.

    Acer and Pawbo really need to fix the app so setup works on iOS 13+. Everything else seems fine (for now)...
  • Internet connection??

    I’ve been sitting in a room with good internet because it’s asking me to connect the thing with wifi. It doesn’t work????? It’s not doing anything.
  • F Pawbo

    This thing is useless. When it did connect, it was glitchy, at best. Now the thing won’t connect at all. Don’t waste your money like we did. There is no customer support whatsoever. Not enough info on the internet and all the troubleshooting info says follow app instructions. Pretty hard to do when there are 3 steps and when it gets to the connection step, it freezes. Junk. F pawbo.
  • Doesn’t work!

    The app stopped working after the recent iOS upgrade. It seemed that the app had been updated since then but it still didn’t work. Can’t set up. Can’t connect. Tech support offered no solution either. DON’T BUY Pawbo until they fix the issue! Otherwise, it’s useless.
