use to be good but now it isn’t
Firmware Update Kills Feeder
Very Good App
However, a few improvements could make it even more practical:
- It would be great to adjust portions in 5 g increments instead of 10 g for more precise control.
- Adding a widget would be a big plus, especially to quickly check the time of the next feeding without opening the app.
- Finally, the voice call that announces feeding currently plays after the food is dispensed. It would be more logical and effective if it happened before the mechanism starts.
Thank you for your work on this already very useful app—these small improvements could make it even better.
Notification errors & UI tweaks
Some of the app's UI seems unintuitive to me, leading me to spend a while searching for how to do something. Also, I don't understand why you cannot manually edit recorded feedings. It would be nice to be able to adjust it for a feeding when, say, the feeder is drying after you cleaned it, so the meal is not recorded.
No option to ask questions for help in CA. Only contact is for businesses or foreign
Very hard to use
Limitations sometimes frustrating, gets job done
Appreciate the videos on how to reset the Wi-Fi (hold both buttons down THEN hold Wi-Fi button down), had to reconnect it after changing my password.
Fix bugs!
I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, check all settings etc. As of this morning I’ve received multiple (4 notifications in a row) stating to zero out the bowl after I just zeroed it out.
Nothing has fixed this- please fix
Unmanageable notifications and unclear technical support
Have a question about how to turn off a particular notification but no clue who to send the question to.
Annoying when companies do this.
App needs improvement
Even more annoying is every few weeks, we need to log back into the app with our password. It’s the only app I have that does that.
Fix these bugs (yes, they’re bugs) and I’ll up my rating to 5 stars.
Great for keeping my cat on a consistent schedule however…
Works perfect
Developers should promise to release API
Maybe the product will keep feeding the one schedule if the servers or internet or even electricity is down, but it's still ewaste without a server.
Easy to understand but...
Almost Slick
Every single button or action phones to servers and takes a few seconds to load. This is mildly annoying normally, but becomes very painful when facing issues in the app and having to retry things multiple times.
Loading errors don't display as errors, they just return no info.
Unable to delete false meals triggered by foreign object falling into feeding bowl.
No ability to export meal history.
At one point, the meal plan had disappeared. I tried multiple different ways to find it, only to accept it was deleted. I triggered a manual extra meal, then finally the full meal plan re-appeared.

App is easy to use but there’s bugs
But my issue is with the meal tracking feature itself. The bowl has been empty for nearly an hour since her last feeding, and I’m getting notifications of volumes of food she “just” ate. Moments ago it told me she ate “0.7 oz of food in 1.5 minutes” which is impossible because A. It’s empty, and B. Her feeding is only 0.4oz per meal. The app is up to date, I’ve zeroed out the bowl, I’ve unplugged and replugged in the feeder and it’s not correcting itself.
It’s been days of adjustments, updates, and resets. Still no improvement. Still multiple false notifications.

Well designed app and feeder
Hope team will add integration with Amazon Alexa ecosystem or Home Assistant.
Also it would be nice to add option to disable lock on feeder so we can give extra meal without holding buttons for 3 seconds.
Wish for more functionality
