### 1/5 — Premium price tag for mediocre app

*2026-03-09, version 1.8.217*

So, you get a 500 dollar piece of hardware, and get a mediocre app, like I can’t even do an on-demand activation of a clean cycle if auto is not on… Come on guys! I can’t have the auto cycle on because my cats freak out, and every time I see the perfect time to turn on the cleaning cycle I have to go all the way down to the basement to push the dang button, it almost defeats the whole purpose of this app. Please enable this.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-07-03, version 1.8.217*

App does not work. Cannot connect to WiFi.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-04-02, version 1.8.197*

Couldn’t even create an account. Which is the first step after downloading the app.

### 1/5 — No activation or instructions on how to get one

*2025-01-14*

Cannot be used without an activation code. Supplier does not supply them and they are not contactable out of business hours.

### 1/5 — Only Records Data Sometimes

*2024-11-07, version 1.8.179*

Every few cleaning cycles don’t get recorded, so the data is skewed. I chatted with a rep the first time it happened & they had me uninstall & reinstall the app & assured me this would resolve the problem even when I expressed concerns. Fewer & fewer washes are being tracked on the app now & I'm not going through hassle of uninstalling, reinstalling, & setting up my unit every couple of weeks. They should just fix the app so it works properly, given the amount of money these things cost….

### 2/5 — Error notifications are broken.

*2024-06-12, version 1.8.123*

Hope this is fixed soon.

### 4/5 — Happy kitties - Happy Hooman

*2024-06-08, version 1.8.123*

We’ve had this for over a month, 4 cats. Would like to see the ability to reset the diary. We have a couple of cats that jump in and out so it triggers a visit- maybe a time frame like 5 mins. before it counts as a visit. 
This has definitely helped with litter box behaviour issues and saving time. Spouse teased me for about a week, not anymore.  We should have made this investment along time ago. 
Also, it may be helpful for those with multi cats to identify which cat is frequent user, could be a health indicator.

### 1/5 — Fix the app

*2024-06-08, version 1.8.123*

$600 in a machine which app takes 4 years to be fixed… still waiting for you guys to get your thing together and make the app work…

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-05-08, version 1.8.105*

I’ve had my CatGenie for over a year now and everything is great. The app works as intended and haven’t had any issues.

### 1/5 — Cat genie will not connect to app

*2023-09-20, version 1.8.55*

Simple as that. The cat genie DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE APP.
