If you are expecting to set your own exact portion sizes with this feeder, you are beat. The portions are pre-determined; however you can increase the number of portions per feeding. At the bottom of the Smart Life app. there is a blue tab that says FEED with a + and - to the left. #1 is a pre-determined portion size. #2 is 2 pre-determined portion sizes. My vet recommended that I put my cat on a diet which has been excruciating for both of us. She isn't supposed to have more than 1/2 cup of food per day. I had to fill the feeder to see how this is going to pan out. Great idea, but what weight is this "portion" that is dispensed? If this was the design, why doesn't the manufacturer specify how much food comes out in their pre-determined portion size? Is it 1/8 cup, 1/4 cup? What is it? I'm usually disappointed with the low functionality and user friendly aspects of contemporary electronics. My night owl camera's are a disappointment too. This product may be getting returned.

Hubby and finally got fed up (no pun intended) with getting up at 5 am to feed our two felines. We also ran out of friends and acquaintances to come in and feed our fur babies if we were away visiting family. (None of our kids live close.) After seeing the auto feeder one if my daughters bought for their dog, I began searching for a simular set up for our cats. I thought I would have to purchase two feeders, but was pleasantly surprised to find feeders for multiple pets. O happy day!! This was so easy to set up, didn't take much room, and our kitties adapted to being fed automatically almost immediately. One of the smartest purchases I've made in a long time. Read more

Works well, have been using it a few months. The cover doesn’t latch shut. Instead there is a strap (seems an after thought) you can stick on (secures with Velcro). Not the best design. The cats managed to knock it over once, and the cover still came loose. I moved to a location where they are tempted to climb on it. Read more

Works well. App is easy to use. Easy to schedule feeding times. My cats run to it when they hear the food being dispensed. Easy to clean. Great size. Good value Read more

I wanted a dual feeder that I could program for feeding times and this works exactly as advertised. Our cats now know the sound of meals being dispensed and come running. I like the flexibility of the app to set up feeding times and serving size. I can also dispense food as needed with my phone if I want to give them a snack. You will need to plug it in as batteries don't last long and are really for backup. Also, don't throw away the silica gel pack that comes with it, you'll need to place it in the lid of the feeder.
