I have been having trouble with this PetSafe Smart Feed Automatic Feeder connecting to the app on my phone. I go through all of the steps, but then it won't connect. I love the idea of this automatic feeder connecting to an app that controls it, but it hasn't worked for me so far. I do like that there is a storage container on the machine that holds the dry food and fills the bowl with a push of a button, instead of hand scooping the food out of a bag to fill a bowl. For now I just push the button on the machine to manually  fill the food dish.
