New update has totally ruined the app.😫 ### 4/5 — Good but needs work *2024-09-03* 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. **Developer response:** 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 ### 4/5 — Great *2024-09-01* Love this app. I have short term memory issues and this really helps remembering if I fed the dog or not. ### 4/5 — more reminders *2024-07-27, version 1.3.2* please add more reminders, so far the app is great but can you please add more reminders/ features ### 4/5 — simple but no history *2022-01-11* 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. **Developer response:** 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 ### 4/5 — Helpful *2021-07-19* 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. **Developer response:** We’re so happy Meal Time has been helpful. Thanks for the icon suggestion! We’ll work on adding those in a future update! ### 4/5 — Does exactly what I need it to do. *2021-03-04* This app works perfectly and, as a nice bonus, has a nice unobtrusive design. My cat is happy his scatterbrained human always feeds him on time, and I'm happy that he's happy. There are a couple things it would be nice to see (ability to set the pronoun used in the notifications, for example), but I'm very happy with this app as-is. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review and great request! We’ve added a feature to select a pet’s pronoun for notifications in a recent update! Thanks again for your support and feedback! -JW ### 5/5 — Jean Franck *2021-01-01* Very helpful as I was able to add her twice a day med reminders also. **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review and support! Its great to know Meal Time is helpful! ### 5/5 — so helpful! *2020-12-31* i have 4 dogs and 2 cats so this app really helps me make sure they’ve all eaten. the notifications help and keep me organized. i love it! **Developer response:** Thank you for the great review :)! It's so nice to hear how you use Meal Time! ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2020-12-30* Now I don’t have to text my husband in the mornings to ask if he fed the cat!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the great review! We’re so happy Meal Time is useful for you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worked great for 24 hours *2024-04-06* 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 ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-09-22* Nothing in this app seems to works, it’s a shame cause it’s exactly what I needed **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — I don’t get it *2022-06-04, version 1.2* Not useful if you can’t share with your family so that the pets don’t get fed by more than one family member. **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — Seriously dog gender option is them *2021-08-06* I cannot believe that there is a gender option for a pet to be them. Honestly? Why? **Developer response:** 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 ### 2/5 — Very promising app but *2025-12-27, version 2.1.6* 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 ### 2/5 — Was working, now it’s not *2025-04-26* 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. **Developer response:** 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 🐾 ### 3/5 — A bit sad *2025-01-12* 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. ### 3/5 — NEEDS WIDGET AND LONGER TIMEFRAME *2024-12-11* it seems great and useful only a widget and longer times between feedings could make it better **Developer response:** 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 ### 3/5 — Love the idea, but the app is a bit buggy and could be improved. *2021-12-23, version 1.2* {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! ### 4/5 — Great *2024-10-30, version 2.0.2* 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.😫 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Happy now *2025-01-13* 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 ### 5/5 — love this app! *2024-07-08* this is a amazing app! i have a cat and we are getting a puppy, this app helps remind me to feed them so i don’t forget 😬 i have tried a couple different apps and this one is the best with feeding! i love how its so simple. its really easy to create a profile for all your animals! i have no problems with this app! hope it works good for you too! **Developer response:** We're so happy to hear the app is helpful for you! Thank you for the great review and using Meal Time! - Josh ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-08-11* 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. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2021-08-08* A fun, free way to track pet mealtimes. Very handy! **Developer response:** Thank you for the great review! 🐶 -JW ### 5/5 — Wow! *2021-07-02* Nice and simple UI, easy to navigate. Saved my life! And my pets life! **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! 🐶 ### 5/5 — This app is so helpful! *2021-06-16* I use this everyday while dog sitting multiple animals to remind me of each dogs specific food needs. **Developer response:** Thanks for the wonderful review and sharing how you use the app! We’re so glad its useful for you 😁 ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2021-05-25* This app is great. I just got a new kitten & have been struggling to get him on a feeding schedule. This app has made it so easy to make sure I feed him consistently at the same time. Definitely recommend for busy pet owners **Developer response:** We love hearing how you use the app! Thank you for your support and the great review! 😁 -JW ### 5/5 — So useful! *2021-04-27* Love this app and so does my dog! 🐕‍🦺 **Developer response:** Thank you for the great review! I'm thrilled to hear that you and your dog love Meal Time for Pets! ### 5/5 — Redd and Ham *2021-02-13* It stopped working for me. Notifications not working as well. **Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear you’re not receiving notifications anymore! While I search for a solution, you can try opening your pet’s profile and selecting “save”. That should recreate your notifications! Thank you for making me aware of the issue. I hope to have a fix that works well for you soon! - Josh Wood ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-01-21, version 1.0.2* Just amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
