### 3/5 — Does not stay connected in app

*2026-03-05, version 3.0.0*

Great setup.  Keeps the dog out and controls smell.  I use all the products (eg., air freshener, liter liners); App connectivity is trash.

### 2/5 — Ok Litter Box, Poor App

*2026-02-18, version 3.0.0*

The litter box works ok. The app is infuriating. I would not recommend this litter box until they get the app working correctly.

### 2/5 — Find someone on Fiverr or Upwork to fix this app

*2026-02-01, version 3.0.0*

These bugs really devalue the product. App glitches that really should be so easy to fix.

### 2/5 — Please fix the app!! Too many notifications!!

*2026-01-23, version 3.0.0*

I used to only get notifications for the litter box when a cat was in there for over two minutes or when the waste drawer needed to be replaced. Now I get notifications EVERY SINGLE TIME one of my cats uses the litter box for any amount of time and there’s no way to turn it off without turning off all notifications. Please make the notifications more customizable.

### 2/5 — Great litter box, horrible app

*2026-01-19, version 3.0.0*

The litter box is great, we are very happy with it. The app is one of the most confusing apps I’ve ever used.

### 2/5 — Please redo the app

*2026-01-03, version 3.0.0*

Please redo the app and bring back waste drawer indicators

### 1/5 — App always disconnects

*2025-12-29, version 3.0.0*

On a Unifi network with several other IOT and never have an issue except with my Pet Snowy.  Went away for a weekend and made sure my cat’s auto feeder was on.  This liter box decides to go offline as soon as I leave.  You can’t reconnect unless you are next to the unit.   I literally have had to reconnect this litter box every two weeks since I brought it

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-12-29, version 3.0.0*

Paid almost $700 for this litter box and the app is ridiculous, I turn off my bluetooth one time and it lost all data and has changed completely. Now I cannot turn the lights on my device to see when it isn’t working.

### 1/5 — Used to be fine

*2025-12-15, version 2.0.9*

The app used to work fine before an update recently. It was never the best app but still worked. When they updated it to change the look and feel, it completely broke it. Half the time when I try to log in it just logs me back out or the feeder doesn’t show up in the app. When I try to add the feeder back in it is such a pain compared to when I first set it up with no problem. I love the feeder itself but this app is a steaming pile of garbage now.

### 1/5 — Just got the device  - family sharing is broken

*2025-12-08, version 2.0.8*

Got added to a family and I can’t see the device at all LOL

### 3/5 — Notifications

*2025-12-04, version 2.0.6*

Je ne comprend pas pourquoi je reçois des notification à chaque fois que mon chat va dans la litière. Avant je n’avais pas ça avec l’ancienne version de l’application. Ajouter des réglages pour choisir le type de notification serait apprécié.

### 1/5 — Sign up doesn’t work

*2025-12-04, version 2.0.6*

Tried to sign up and the app won’t send a code to any email address.  Probably returning my $550 paperweight

### 1/5 — Big, Trendy, Disaster App

*2025-11-30*

The unit looks great, but it’s deceivingly big.  Our cat took to the PetSnowy pretty quickly, but we’ve never been able to keep the device connected to the app, which is kinda the whole point of the auto cleaning experience.  We’ve never been able to track cat usage because every few days the device can’t be accessed from the app, meaning we have to go through the whole song and dance of adding it again.  Which can’t even happen if you’re of town.

We had high hopes and had a good experience the first few days but the inconsistency with the app means cannot recommend spending a premium on this product.

### 1/5 — Will not stay connected to the App

*2025-11-29, version 2.0.6*

Horrible - worst app ever!  When I first got the machine it worked fine.  Now I can no longer add it to the app nor control it.  So basically it is useless!! What a waste of a lot of money!  Obviously, they don’t care about return customers - otherwise they would find a way to fix this app.  Will not be buying a pet snowy ever again!  I had to choose 1 star as negative stars are not an option.

### 1/5 — 3rd base has failed

*2025-11-28, version 2.0.4*

This is the THIRD base in two years - first one sat in the box for several months - when I installed, it lasted less than two months, the second one lasted 3  1/2 months tha, the third one has lasted less than 6.  Not one but TWO water fountains have failed.  My account disappeared, all the data is gone.  I wish I’d never gotten it.  It’s junk

### 1/5 — Network error

*2025-11-25, version 2.0.6*

App constantly gets network errors. Super frustrating. Hardware is fine.

### 1/5 — The worst connectivity issues

*2025-11-25, version 2.0.6*

I followed every single step into connected my feeder to the WiFi and nothing I tried everything. Its WiFi connectivity is so frustrating to work with!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — WiFi

*2026-07-04*

Will not connect no matter what I do

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the frustrating experience. We’d like to help you get the device connected. Please email us at support@petsnowy.com with your device model, app version, phone model, and any error message you see. Our team will check it and guide you through the setup.

### 1/5 — Version 2.0/3.0 where?

*2026-05-21, version 3.0.0*

Finally updated my app and was excited to see the new interface and any changes that were made only to be met with the same interface I’ve always had? Deleted it from my phone and redownloaded it thinking that would fix the issue, but it didn’t.

### 1/5 — Wish it worked

*2026-05-12, version 3.0.0*

This app doesn’t notify or track anything.  When I open the app it appears to work and lets me control the litter box but it never alerts me to my cat using it and shows zero history.  I have notifications enabled for the app turned on.  This needs a complete overhaul.  The litter box is excellent.  You just need a solid app to compliment it.

### 1/5 — Unnecessary internet connectivity

*2026-04-08, version 3.0.0*

Why do I have to connect a litter box to the internet just to turn off the irritating bright colorful ambient light? I’m not doing that. Lazy developers couldn’t just add a button

### 1/5 — AI can write a better app

*2026-03-06, version 3.0.0*

How do you have this terrible of a UX/UI in 2026? Claude could one shot ts with 10x better quality.

### 1/5 — New version is still terrible

*2026-02-17, version 3.0.0*

Notifications need to revert to the old behavior or give options to customize them. I don’t need multiple alerts because a cat used the litter box. I only want notifications if the waste drawer is full or there’s another issue that requires attention.

### 1/5 — Wont connect to network

*2026-01-20, version 3.0.0*

I have been trying to get this to work for hours and the app just keeps failing with network errors. All my other iot devices have no problems. Seems to be related to a recent update.

I wouldn’t mind because I don’t use the app that much but what I do use it for is to auto feed my cat (the only function the device serves). I am no longer able to set up any schedules rendering the app and device a paperweight. Unless I manually feed the cat from it….

### 1/5 — New update

*2026-01-06, version 3.0.0*

This new update is actually terrible. App was much better and more user friendly before this update and layout change. I keep getting errors about time zone change, and notification alerts that won’t go away.

### 1/5 — High prices, poor quality app

*2025-12-31*

I own litter box, two feeders, two fountain waters and the air purifier. I rely on my app to work for my pets even more so when I am away from home for work, travel or running errands. Half of the time the little box does want to run correctly. And the app is terrible because it keeps changing back and forth from the old version to an updated version. When it changes it messes with my cat’s feeding schedules and then they don’t get fed unless I manually feed them. The first time this happened we didn’t catch it. We just thought they kept eating all their food. Until we realized their food level was not moving. Sad that my cats were missing out on meals because this company’s app is trash. If I would have known I wouldn’t have invested the money. Don’t waste your time or money.

### 1/5 — Incorrect notifications

*2025-12-31, version 3.0.0*

Great in theory and I love the products, but I get about 25-40 “low food alert” notifications a day even when the feeder is fully stocked. I tried customer support, they did an upgrade and actually sent me a new feeder but the app continues to send me 15 messages back to back saying low food alert. Sometimes my phone will buzz every minute for 20 minutes straight with these alerts in the middle of the night

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2025-12-10, version 2.0.9*

Customer service is so amazing and helpful

### 5/5 — Bug Seems Resolved so Perfect Litter Box

*2025-10-21, version 2.0.5*

I earlier had an error causing my app commands to the box to fail. Happy to report it’s fixed since this product is awesome in every other way for my cat. Cozy inside space, easy to clean, and not having to scoop ever again is so nice!

### 5/5 — Love

*2025-02-05, version 1.0.31*

App is easy to use and I love the automatic litter box so far. Everything functions well. Much better than the litter robot!

### 5/5 — PetSnowy App

*2024-07-20, version 1.0.31*

Very useful & easy to use, Good ….

### 5/5 — Pretty good experience

*2024-05-28, version 1.0.31*

Recently I just got a cat so purchase the whole bundle from petsnowy. When I tried to set up my devices with the app, it was way easier than I expected, and they were easy to use.

### 5/5 — Child lock for the win!

*2024-05-11*

the child lock feature in the PetSnowy app is perfect when you have little ones running around. Such a great idea!

### 5/5 — remote feeding? Game changer!

*2024-05-11*

the remote feeding feature on PetSnowy's app is a lifesaver. And it even alerts me when food is low!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-09-22, version 1.0.1*

Good

### 4/5 — New user here

*2026-05-02*

I’m reviewing this as a new user and an above average computer user. The app is simple but it works for what it is and addresses almost everything you need for the litter box. Thankfully I haven’t been having any of the issues the other low review people seem to have. I love the little messages it sends you after they use it, it’s a very cute touch! The ONLY thing I wish the app had was a button to reset the weight remotely incase you forgot to do it after adding litter! Other than that loving the box so far and espically the amount of litter it holds!

### 4/5 — Finally reverted back to old app style

*2025-12-08, version 2.0.8*

The new update sucked terribly. They finally after months of this app sucking reverted to the original style that functioned much better and the view and screens you can actually read them. Please keep this style.
