Meal Time For Pets User Reviews

Very promising app but

We paid the subscription but can’t sync or share a group. In the end, it deleted ALL of the existinginfo when we created a new group! Frustrating

Was working, now it’s not

Ever since yesterday (April 25), the meals are already marked and if I try to refresh or close and open again, they are still marked. If I tried to unmark them, it removed the meal not only for that day, but for the day before as well. Now, if I try to unmark them, it removes the last 2 days of meals (Thursday AND Friday) as well as today.

Hi Arizzle19, I’m so sorry — that sounds incredibly frustrating. Thank you for taking the time to explain what you experienced. Meal Time ran into a few hiccups over the weekend, but I was able to get things sorted out, and everything should be working normally again now. I really appreciate your patience (and for sticking with the app) while I got it fixed. Thanks again for using Meal Time! -Josh W 🐾

Happy now

Great customer support. I was sad with something I wasn’t able to do and they did there best to fix the problem. THANK YOU

A bit sad

Unfortunately there is no option to change your own name on the app. Therefore I have a misspelled name and it drives me crazy.
Hopefully soon I can change the review if they ever fix it.

NEEDS WIDGET AND LONGER TIMEFRAME

it seems great and useful only a widget and longer times between feedings could make it better

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the review and for using the app! I really appreciate the feedback. Widgets and options for longer feeding intervals (e.g. every ‘x’ days or weeks) are currently in the works—I’m excited to roll them out soon! – Josh

Great

Love this app. I have short term memory issues and this really helps remembering if I fed the dog or not. New update has totally ruined the app.😫

Good but needs work

I got this app for my pets and it works pretty well, but it would be nice if it had notifications for appointments and such.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! Appointment notifications is a great idea. We'll consider how to work that into a future update. Thank you for using the app! - Josh

Worked great for 24 hours

This worked great for the the first 24 hours however stopped sending notifications after that. I have tried turning the notification option on and off, checked for updates and clicked on the reset button but still nothing. It also does not update the fed meals in the summary. A real shame as for the 24 hours that it did work, it was brilliant

Not working

Nothing in this app seems to works, it’s a shame cause it’s exactly what I needed

Response from developer

Sorry to hear your having issues. I’d be happy to help if you can email your issues to support@mealtimeforpets.com . Thanks for trying out the app! - Josh

I don’t get it

Not useful if you can’t share with your family so that the pets don’t get fed by more than one family member.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. Family sharing is in the works! Currently this app helps people with trickier feeding schedules. Thanks for trying out the app. - Josh

simple but no history

i actually love how simplistic the design is yet it’s versatile in its own way in a sense that i can make a reminder to spot clean the litter box every other day. i also love the notes aspect because that is super helpful. the only thing i wish is that i could view previous weeks or days to track consistency (or lack thereof) because while i try to feed my cat morning and night more often than not she leaves food in her bowl that carries into the next meal. but having a way to go back and view previous days/notes would be great.

Thank you for your review and feedback! We’ll definitely work to incorporate a better history into the future updates! Thanks for using our app! - Josh

Love the idea, but the app is a bit buggy and could be improved.

{TL;DR}
Please know, I don’t dislike the app! I love the idea of it, I think for most people it will be great, and so far it’s been working relatively well for me. I think it just needs a bit of fine tuning and I’m happy to stick with it through that!

{Context}
I wanted to offer some suggestions here from the perspective of someone who relies on reminders/notifications/lists to be sure I don’t forget anything, and I have multiple animals. These suggestions are based on my personal experience. Also some potential bugs.

{Possible Bug}
My first 3 pet’s work fine, all their meals come up fine, but the 4th pet doesn’t display their meals at all, though I checked by clicking on their name and the meals are still saved, they just don’t show on the home screen and so I can’t check them off.

{Suggestion}
It would be great to have a seperate option for water sources for each pet, too. So we can check off each day that we’ve given fresh water to everyone as well as food. Preferably an option for multiple water sources, just like the food, as some animals need a few options to drink from and I don’t want to be restricted to just one water dish and risk forgetting the others.

{Suggestion}
RE: the water option, maybe instead of the food bowl showing on the home page for that you could get an actual water bowl (or multiple, which would be an even better feature as some animals need a few water sources)

{Suggestion}
Maybe as a premium feature even, in future, it could be handy to have a log of the times that you feed your pet, too.

{Bug}
Least importantly, my pet genders keep getting reset to ‘them’ even after I save either male or female. But that’s only a minor issue and can still use the app fine.

{End}
Thank you to the creators and developers of this app! I really think this is going to be a great tool to help a lot of people out. Best wishes, and happy holidays!

Great app!

This app seems to be exactly what I was looking for! My only suggestion would be to have a way to sync between multiple users (my SO and I work opposite schedules some days and it would be great to see if our cat was already fed without having to text the other at work). But the user interface is simple and easy to use.

Very helpful

A fun, free way to track pet mealtimes. Very handy!

Response from developer

Thank you for the great review! 🐶 -JW

Seriously dog gender option is them

I cannot believe that there is a gender option for a pet to be them. Honestly? Why?

Response from developer

Hi OG Butch! A user requested I provide a gender option so the notifications are more personalized! Im sorry this option offends you. Please feel free to skip this section if it is too upsetting. Please let me know if I can do anything to make the app more useful for you! - JW

Helpful

I like how this app is super helpful! But I hope to see livestock animal icons in the future! I have horses, cows, sheep, goats, poultry, and a pig, so if you could add default icons of these, it would be awesome.

Response from developer

We’re so happy Meal Time has been helpful. Thanks for the icon suggestion! We’ll work on adding those in a future update!
