Ratings and reviews

Quirky at best. Usually have to open it at least twice before it displays current information. Also doesn't make it easy in the slightest to resume a cycle that erroneously paused due to a "water fill issue" (when there is in fact no issue, but that's a whole other issue).

So far no issues at all with the app or the control panel like other posts. I would like to see an option to completely stop the cleaning cycle (rather than just pausing) , so that I could restart a fresh cycle. The issue that I have had is I am constantly getting *error 3,drainage error*. It is so frustrating bc I get this message at least once a week.. and I am having to take the whole thing apart and clean it and put it back together. Needs better drainage design. Pls fix!

The interface screens on the app seem to be set too large. I tried setting up times for the box to run, rather than cat activation. Where most apps have a save button in the top right corner of the screen, the name of the app is so large, there's no space for a a save button. The day after I set times, the box should have run twice, and it hasn't run at all. I ran it manually, but I'd rather have it run on a schedule that my cats can get used to.
