There needs to be a delete all button for the recording history. This is a suggestion for future update. Please! ### 5/5 — Out of this world *2026-08-21, version 1.40.0* The cat loves it and she wants to live in it. Bella thinks that it is amazing and it’s her toilet. I have to write what she thinks about this potty. ### 5/5 — Wonderful product *2026-08-21, version 1.40.0* It is so very nice not to have to scoop two times a day. It his product is a life saver. ### 4/5 — Nice app and I would give it five stars with a little work *2026-08-20, version 1.40.0* I really like this litter box. The app is a nice app. It is not completely accessible for the blind. I use voiceover on my phone and sometimes I have trouble. That’s why I gave it four stars. ### 3/5 — None of the Advertised Features Work (Litter Robot 5 Pro) *2026-08-20* The app looks and feels nice to use, but is functionally useless. They require an ongoing subscription for certain features, but don’t tell you all those features are broken anyway. Cat detection doesn’t work. It regularly misses cats entering the globe, misidentifies which cat is present, and records tons of useless “events” of your cat walking 15 feet away in your living room. The events never record the interior camera, so you can’t use it to identify whether your cat might be sick or straining to pee/poo. The scale never records any weight for your cats. It will also attribute visits to the box to the wrong cat if you have multiple cats since it uses the very poor cat identification from the front camera (i have an orange & a grey cat, this shouldn’t be difficult). Additionally, there is a frequent and ongoing issue with every version of the litter box where it will constantly say the waste tray is full even when it is empty. This means it won’t automatically turn. Thus defeating the main reason you purchase one of these. Whiskers refuses to provide any kind of roadmap for when they will fix the broken features, implement the advertised interior camera events, etc. They still charge that subscription, though! They will also treat your bug report/feature inquiry as if you are unique in reporting it when in reality every single LR5P owner is complaining about this. **Developer response:** We're so sorry you're experiencing issues within the app, Matsie!

We have purchased (2) litter robot over the years and have had multiple issues. We have replaced the motor, the cat sensor . It’s just on going problems. These units are very costly and aren’t worth the price. So very disappointed. ### 5/5 — Whisker is the best *2026-08-19, version 1.40.0* It came fully assembled, except for the hopper in the front porch. They snap in place this device rocks, even the cats were interested in it before it even had litter in it. ### 2/5 — Connectivity is awful *2026-08-18, version 1.40.0* This app has the worst, most inconsistent connectivity I’ve ever seen. It disconnects constantly even when nothing changes. Our unit on the main floor along with a WiFi extender, and no other devices in the house have this issue on any floor. This device just tells us “disconnected” or “motor fault error” or any number of other issues all the time. It needs a ton of work even years later. ### 5/5 — Love my Litter-Robot 4 *2026-08-18, version 1.40.0* I’ve had this model since it first came out. It has been worth every penny we spent. Yes, it was pricy for us and I had a bit of sticker shock but I also had a LBot 2. That thing was a soldier and I know if it’s well taken care of these Bots last for a while. No problems but an occasional WiFi reset when we have a power issue etc. It’s a great investment if you are a busy person or travel for work a night or two. You know the litter box is clean- every time. ### 1/5 — Litter Robot 4 *2026-08-17, version 1.40.0* This litter robot never works at all. I have to manually cycle it every hour!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Whisker ### What does the Whisker app do?
