Impossible to use
The app is NOTHING like the instructional videos look like. I can’t do anything other than log in and see my orders. The app is pointless and I’m considering returning the entire device because I got it with the hopes of using it remotely from my phone. So dissatisfied and disappointed.
This is horrible
This app worked fine for a year… now I have to log in each time I try to view the pad or roll it up! I am not typing in my email and password each time. I am over this and about to throw away my pad machines.. and I own two!!!!!! Fix this app so I don’t have to log in each time I open the app
App still needs work
They updated the app so now all you get is their store front. Now I can’t control the machine because that part of the app just disappeared!
Not great
Really wanted this to work well. The app is buggy and operates so slowly. Maybe they’ll upgrade!
App crashes and won’t connect to my BP
The app crashes when I go to pair it so all the extra I paid for the smart version is basically useless….
LOVE the app! After initial trouble connecting to app it now works great.
At first I had trouble connecting to the app, it always said it couldn’t find device and timed out. I first downloaded the latest update on both my iPhone and the app, then I moved my Wi-Fi extender closer BrilliantPad and it connected the first try and I’ve had no issues since. I pay a lot for top of the line high-speed internet and always have a high number of devices using it. In spite of my high monthly bill I still had dead and glitchy zones and where I placed the BrilliantPad machine was in one. Simply moving my Wi-Fi extender easily solved my connection issues.
BrilliantPad is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! My two small 5lbs and 9lbs dogs would always soak through even the largest pee pads and poo so much I could never keep up with it. During the hours I would work they would soak through to the floor the multiple pads I would lay out then go to the bathroom around the pads as well. I had to clean a nasty mess and completely mop my floors a minimum two (usually more) times a day every day and my house would smell horrible. My dogs both immediately transitioned to using this with no problems at all. No mess, no smells. As much as I have loved my first device, the new smart model is so much better and worth every penny of the price. I love how I can set it to automatically roll out a clean pad after 1, 2, or 3 uses. It does an excellent job of detecting my individual dogs and the pictures it takes and the way it detects the type and consistency of their business is both very useful and pretty funny as well.

Works great for me!
Read these reviews and I’m not sure what’s wrong for others but I’m experiencing none of those issues. Love it!
Disappointing and impossible to get help!!
The idea is brilliant and a great solution for many of us with small, “apartment” dogs, but this company did not have the technology piece ready!!! It’s been days and I still don’t have the ability to use this properly even after doing what they have asked!!!
There are no easy directions for people who are not technology majors and even with the help of someone who is…still no luck!!!
And even for people who are able to get it working, they complain on line that they can’t keep it online!!!
Such a huge disappointment!!!

Trash
Cheap app, cheap built. Don’t waste your money
Great product
First off all you complainers turn on your Wi-Fi and your Bluetooth before you try and connect the app the device and the Wi-Fi when setting it up… dur … and this device so far over the year I have owned it changes the pad like it set it to.. now I change a roll once a week instead of a pad 3 times a day…

Very slow and times out - super glitchy
Even when connect to same WiFi, you have to shut down app once or twice before it will work. Very slow to connect to device. VERY DISAPPOINTING given there is so little that the app does.
App will not connect to new devices like Google Wifi
Google Wi-Fi supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz. Since smartphones will usually connect to the 5 GHz band, the “Brilliant” pad app will not allow you to progress in setup because it sees 5 GHz. Talk about self sabotage..
HOW ARE THEY STILL SELLING THIS????
1). So the smart one can’t even connect to WiFi, and if you jump through the hoops to get a new module, reviews below say it disconnects sporadically anyway.
2). My perfectly pad-trained pups pee and poop all around this, unless I’m there to manually advance the wet or pooped spots.
3). So, it tried to return their brilliant pad, and check out their answer…. 🤣🤣🤣. This is fraudulent..

Disappointed.
I cannot connect this device with the phone app. Its annoying. I see others are having the same product. It sounds nice & really is an excellent idea but its made in China & its seems like the producers of the product didn’t care to really perfect the quality of the product. (Not to mention it arrived with a green tab broken off of it)

App won’t work
I just got the brilliantpad smart for my pup which I have liked so far but I can’t connect to the brilliantpad on the app. So why did I pay extra money to get the smart version if I’m having to manually advance the pad? Very frustrating..
Won’t connect to the app....at all!
What is the point in having the smart module if it won’t even connect to your phone? I have been troubleshooting this device for about two months with brilliant support trying to help. Finally they just sent me a new module which arrived today, and it still will not connect to the app. I have literally tried to connect the smart module to my phone over 200 times and to my wife’s phone about 100 times. I am so disappointed in this device that I have no other words.

Won’t connect to BP hardware
What’s the pint of having an app that connects sometimes and more often no connection. I just purchased this $250 item and I’m not at all happy with the phone to hardware connection.
Great, but...
I had high hopes for this upgraded BP and it worked great when I first got it a couple of weeks ago. We have two fur babies both under 10 lbs but it amazes me how much liquid these two can hold so I really love that the pad can be changed remotely and there is a log of events. However, since then, it has lost connectivity numerous times requiring a reset by first having to “forget this device” then starting the pairing process all over again. All of our other devices work fine in the same area so I know it’s not a network issue. Also, the images come out completely black if the room isn’t brightly lit. Perhaps I received a defective unit? Will be contacting BP soon.
The idea behind this product is, well, brilliant. Just wish it were more reliable. Still have high hopes for a better version.

Excellent!
Been using this at for a while now without any major issues. Works really well. Will be even better if system can differentiate pee from poop and advance roll based on that.
Awesome app!
I’ve loved the brilliant pad but the app brings it to the next level! Being able to change the pad from the other room is exactly what I’ve needed for my pug! The fact that you can customize when the pad changes depending on how many times the dog gets on and off - along with the numerous options that come with tracking and logging - makes it an awesome update to the pad!
