"My cat and I both love this feeder. It was pretty easy to set up and changes are easy to make on the app. It's very entertaining to watch my cat bolt for the feeder when she hears the food hit the bowl."
"The concept is great, and when it works, it works well. However, getting this device to connect to Wi-Fi is incredibly frustrating-it’s nearly impossible. Even once connected, it frequently loses the connection, making it unreliable overall. For the price point, I expected much better performance...."
