Ratings and Reviews
Litter Robot 4
It’s the end of the first week and one of our two Bengals is using it quite confidently although still a bit skittish about the movement of the drum. The other cat is curious but hasn’t used it yet. Five years ago we had one of the original Litter Robots and the Robot 4 is far superior. It’s easy to clean and to empty and also much quieter. I love the app as it lets me know when one of the cats has used it, the level of litter and how full the waste box is. Good simple graphics and very easy to use.
Very good device; good app
I think the Litter Robot 3 is more useful with the wifi control unit and this app. In particular it means I have some idea of my cats use of the machine even when I’m not near to it and it helps me anticipate when the waste drawer needs emptying. With two young active cats that’s roughly every 2 or 3 days. The meter seems to not be as sophisticated as I first thought and is essentially a count of number of cycles since last reset. The waste drawer full sensor triggers independently of the meter reaching “full”. Still it’s better than nothing and gives me some idea. The history graphs seem to be referring to the wrong data (at least the last seven days on the week view doesn’t seem correct; I’ve not checked exactly what is wrong but the two graphs don’t agree for the last seven days that’s for sure). Also the average cycles per day treats days before the unit started as if they were days in use with zero cycles, as opposed to excluding them from the calculation. This means the averages are incorrect for that first week and month respectively. Overall though I like the app and the device itself is very good.
Needs many improvements
Early days but for now will say it’s really slow, not sure if it’s WiFi or others but the app Ui needs to communicate this better and give better context, the spinning icon on the sleep button for eg. Almost never the app is updated when you open it, you have to force close it and open it again. UI is weird, this looks like it was designed in photoshop like it’s 2003, the buttons don’t behave consistently, for eg the power is a button, sleep opens a settings dialog. Can’t just put the machine in sleep mode all the time, would be really helpful to better onboard the cats, the sleep function has a convoluted UI, why trying to reinvent the wheel when iOS has the swift UI extensive library of components it has is beyond me and probably means this app is not written in Swift UI which means it will never be great. no widgets & no live activities
