Inconsistent, which is bad when protecting your flock.
Door good….app total garbage. I have two smart doors and smart feeders. App is horribly inconsistent. Set up worked but first time we lost power at our property nothing in the app worked correctly again. Not connected notifications but WiFi signal shows connected. Doors and feeder are actually connected and are working perfectly per their programmed schedule. App says all offline!!! But I can close and open doors. Can’t even begin to imagine why the smart feeder can’t be opened and closed remotely just like the doors! Seems like a poor decision and defeats some of the point of being able to add it to the app? Wish the app was better but it’s garbage (looks nice though!!!!)

Mediocre, missing basic functionality
App is kinda wonky, odd UX.
Missing super obvious feature:
Let me set my auto door to open/close X minutes before/after local sunrise/sunset. Annoying to have to change it constantly, especially around daylight savings.

Good, but room for improvement
It’s a great app and I’m grateful for it making my life easier, but it could be even better. Hopefully the next logical development step is to incorporate it into Apple HomeKit/Shortcuts. This would allow for more bespoke automations. As an example, I want to open the door at sunrise, but can’t use the integrated light meter because we have a powerful outdoor light which could open the door in the middle of the night. Using Apple Shortcuts, I could use an automation based on the rolling *time* of sunrise, rather than the light meter.

Usually works
I wish I could do half stars because much as I love how useful this app is, it can be wonky at times. However it’s been so helpful for us that I left 5 stars.
We use this in our catio and when our cat gets out, I can leave the door open till he comes in. It’s been a huge help.

Removed feature
You can no longer open or close the door remotely from the app as the button because it’s gone in the latest update. The app often doesn’t connect correctly to the coop door. The door works fine without it - but it’s sure lame
I don’t have all the features I paid for.
