What reviewers said

Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.

Aggressive ad load

Just getting started with this app and right away I'm already extremely annoyed with the endless prompts for the cloud subscription. I can't click on any of my SD Card saved videos without needing to go through TWO full screen ads for the…

I keep getting emails that my feeder disconnects every once in awhile. It's back ok the wifi minutes later please increase the timeout period before sending notifications. Also WAYY too many ads. This is a pet feeder I am not paying $130…

completely unusable. every time you try to connect to something it gives a server error. on the off chance it actually DOES work you get spammed with ads for their subscription service repeatedly

Hard to cancel

This is 100% not worth the money I spent. And don't do the free trial because they make it impossible to cancel your subscription.

Difficult to cancel subscription — They make it difficult to cancel. There is no option to cancel your subscription on the mobile app, and I had to send Petlibro multiple emails requesting my cancellation request. They kept asking for my…

Upgrade prompts use guilt-trip wording

This app is terrible. If you are considering their product, prepare to be constantly harassed worse than a scammy website with in-app money-grabs. At least daily, you'll get notifications that seem like tips and features but are really…

Atrocious excuse of an app that's constantly shoving subscription bs down your throat. Touch the wrong option in configuration and you're met with a full screen add that can't be closed without force closing the app and starting over…

Works well with the WiFi feeder and fountain. quite a bit of nagging for a subscription but core functionality is there at the free tier.

How the automated analysis works

Automated, corroborated, and never human-reviewed without a person.

This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.

No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.

There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.

Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.

 Not yet human-reviewed

Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.

Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
