PETLIBRO LITE 4+

Got this machine to replace a previous feeder with no app or digital interface. That machine had a button that, when pressed, would release the next scheduled feeding early. I am really surprised no such feature exists in this app for this more advanced feeder. You can only set feeding times and amounts OR manually have it dispense a feeding at the touch of the button. But if my cat is getting antsy/loud for her food early, I will have to dispense a manual feeding, turn off the next feeding so she’s not over fed, then remember to turn it back on after the time passes.

It also does not notify when the feeder is getting low, only when it’s totally out. Even so, the notification doesn’t come through all the time, so that feature is mostly useless and I have to try to remember to track it myself.

Overall ok, but honestly not a major upgrade from my last one with some lacking features.

I’m using the Granary Feeder. This app does not have an option to provide an automatic notification that the feeding happened. Instead I have to set a manual notification (basically like a calendar reminder but within this app) to come from the app at the time of feeding and then check the cameras on the feeder to make sure the food was dispensed or check the log of the feeder. Both actions still require me to check the app manually. Really want an app update that could just notify of a successful scheduled feeding automatically, with no need to open the app the check, especially when I’m not home to hear or see in person that the food was dispensed.
Otherwise a really great upgrade from my last feeder. My cats aren’t able to get their paws inside the food shoot to grab the waiting food. I now have a camera to see them eating. And the overall design is much more pleasing to look at with a smaller food print too.
Petlibro please make this update! :)

I loved the convenience of this thing before the latest update. Every time I try to update it takes forever and then ends up saying it stopped the update due to connection issues. I have my feedings set on a schedule everyday and did not realize my device was not working because it needed updated. I was away from my house and my cats went hungry for a day because of this. Very frustrating, please address this update issue. Based on comments I’ve seen, I’m not the only one having this issue. I need this thing to work
