Unable to reconnect camera due to set up issue

Trying to reconnect, but it keeps making me log in to my Wi‑Fi and click the bind button over and over again. I have tried reconnecting multiple times with no success, and the app will not move past that screen. This has been very frustrating and has prevented me from using the camera. I would not recommend this product.

Great idea. Awful execution

Crashes every time it tries to connect

First review in 20 years

This is the worst product I’ve ever purchased. Every day is unpredictable. Every time I need to watch my pets, it doesn’t work. I’ve spent the last hour just getting locked out of my account repeatedly.

Unable to login

Unable to login at the moment.

App doesn’t work

App freezes and is not connecting my device to my network, even if it is a 2.4ghz network as described

Just about perfect

I first bought this robot in early 2023. We use it primarily on vacations to stay sort of artificially connected to a pair of cats. Installation was easy. The app is barebones but you can literally take advantage of all functions in a straightforward way and isn’t that what software should do?
The company is very responsive with the website’s chat window. A couple of weeks ago I was getting the robot ready for an upcoming late summer vacation and discovered only one wheel was powered, so all it could do was turn in a circle. After some communication, the company offered to send a new replacement Hiibo robot. It was at my door in less than 30 hours and works beautifully.
We have a couple of places with abrupt thresholds to climb over and the robot’s large wheels make this easy. The interface in the app is intuitive, simple, and comprehensive. The app is far better than the reviews indicate.
If you have difficulty with initial WiFi access try pressing and holding the power button for about 10 seconds and it will reset back to factory default and then you’ll just restart the connection process. After signing into your wireless router, the app will generate a QR code on your phone that you will show to your robot’s camera to finalize the connection. Hold the phone steady about 6-8 inches from the camera lens.

Barely useable

Keeps logging me out. Keeps having connection issues

App needs work

I’m going to use part of someone else’s review because it’s the exact same thing I’m dealing with.
Also, most of the time mine doesn’t even login with the app !
I am on vacation in the area with good Wi-Fi and cell phone service but the whole week I’ve been here, the app has only logged on once where I could see my cat !
Yes, I do have someone going by the house often to take care of her, but the whole point of this robot was to be able to interact with her while I was away !

“Very laggy and there's a long delay when trying to connect at first.

-The app forces you to sign in every time after you minimize the app.

-App needs another update”

What is in Chinese?

I used to love this app but now is in Chinese and can’t change it to English.

English version

After the last upgrade English version does not work.

Updated app changed my language settings

Just downloaded the update and now the app is in Chinese and I cannot find anywhere to change language to English. So devs what are the steps to change language?

Laggy

Laggy, and it’s not in English anymore

How do I change the settings on this app to English

For

Unusable most of the time

The app connects randomly at best. Now I can’t read anything in the app as it’s now set to default language (no longer English). Tried downloading new from the App Store and the app doesn’t ask for preferred language.

App not in English

I received this as a gift, thought it would be cool for my dogs. However I can’t even set it up to use because I can’t change the language to English. Major fail

Device offline

It always show device offline while it’s not. Sometimes it’s finally connect it still soooo lag.

Please improve the app

The app is so inefficient but does the job.. disconnects each time you switch to a new app and coke back.

Love it!!!

I love this app to mess with my dog and now my dog trust it since I always drop treats 😀

Registration

You can not even register an account to install the app, code will newer get to your e-mail

Can be improved, but it is not bad.

I read the reviews on Amazon when purchasing the robot and they are all mostly happy. I am surprised by low star reviews here as. Honestly I feel like they didn’t figure out how to set it up and use controls - I almost had same opinion about non-continuous movement , but then I figured if u press the circle not arrows - it goes continuously.

I feel that for 100$ for Guliguli robot on Amazon - this is amazing. It moves, it has food dispenser, two way audio that works great and video that covers whole room from floor to ceiling. You get less for 200$ + from other alternatives. The app controls are a bit confusing at first, and maybe a guide on screen would be useful or demo video - but not the end of the world. Arrows are only for turning or tiny increment move, press the fat circle to start continuous move in direction that you have “determined &set” by arrows. U can also move that circle as u press it slightly around - and it will adjust the moving direction. Just be gentle on the input and play with it at first :) try to put it into other room and make it to urself - it’s pretty fun)

The laser is cute but I am least stoked about it since it directed at eyes by accident (e.g. ur pet looks onto robot) - it will hurt their retina, so I don’t anticipate to use that function a lot.

Treat dispensary function is awesome - it actually is so spacious there that u could put half day of food in one section (for 10-15pound cat) - so great way to manage weight.

I think it is not the best app out there - but for the price - this is pretty great. No subscription. I am keeping it.
