Perfect for busy pet owners
I love how I can schedule my cat’s meals through the app and check feeding history anytime. The feeder is quiet and my cat quickly got used to it. A real lifesaver for my busy schedule!

Good but setup was tricky
The device works well and the app is quite handy, but I struggled a bit with the initial setup and syncing with my phone. Once set up, it’s been reliable and convenient.
