Furbo-Treat tossing pet camera for Pc

I was BEYOND excited to receive Furbo as a Christmas gift. However, I do not believe there is value in this product due to the ridiculous “subscription” for “premium” features. Furbo considers dog “selfies”, person detection, and a daily diary to be “premium”. You get a free trial, and they you have to pay a monthly fee to continue using those features. They claim it is due to cloud services, however this could be easily remedied by adding an option to put an SD card in the camera for future models. The fee is not disclosed to the buyer until their trial runs out because they’re still “figuring out the price” which really sounds like a scam to me. If they want to do this, I think it would be more fair to offer a certain amount of storage for free, then if you’d like to store more than that you can pay. That would actually be a “premium” service in my opinion, instead of shutting out features that you use to help sell your product. On the level of the app, it does freeze sometimes but is mostly reliable. My biggest annoyance is that the sound is on full blast when I open the app, even if the phone is on silent. I have to manually turn down the volume on my phone every time. There isn’t an option to mute sound, only control the sound of the speaker on the furbo itself. Please add this as an option; it makes it impossible to check in at work without headphones.

Furbo is a great product that allows pet parents and their furbabies to connect while apart from one another. No matter the distance furbo will let you check in on your pet barring WiFi signal. Fortunately I have not experienced any connection issues that have altered my experience. That being said I believe furbo can build upon their already great product. A simple feature I would love to have would be allowing you to record a number of messages you could play when you are not able to speak over the microphone. Let’s say you are at work or around a group of people that maybe you don’t want to hear your puppy talk. Having the ability to say what you want with a press of a button would be amazing. There’s been plenty of times I wanted to tell my dog I love and miss them but also knew I would catch a stare or two. Having a feature like this would really improve pet to owner interaction and the amount of time spent using the app. Overall the furbo does an outstanding job at performing what it was built for and I recommend it to any other dog owner

We have been using Furbo the last two days and have already found a few things that need fixed. First, you get to create a doggie profile: picture, breed, birthday, etc! However every time I put in the information, it disappears by the end of the day And I have to redo it again! (This has happened at least 5 times and yes I’m saving the info!) Second, it does a great job notifying me however the notifications are delayed. It’s great for when we are out of the house, but when we are home my phone blows up with notifications of “barking” which is actually a noise and a “human was spotted”. I wish there was a way to adjust that without having to changed the settings in the app every time I leave the house. Aside from the the product is great! If those few bugs would get fixed I’d rate this 5 stars.

Ignore the ding-dongs crying about “premium” items— you get all the basic features that were initially promised with the free plan. In fact, as of March 2019, they haven’t even actually launched the premium option yet, so right now everything is—gasp— still free! (They’ve been trialing and getting feedback for several months now.) Anyway, for what it does, it’s perfect. It’s got a great-quality camera with amazing night vision, you can zoom in and out on the app, you can talk to your pup and hear what’s going on, and you can launch treats!! How cool is that?! I love checking in on my pup while I’m at work. Additionally, the customer feedback is amazing, especially via the Facebook group, and they’re constantly surveying and taking advice on how to make the product better, so never be afraid to speak up if you feel like there’s something they could improve. I’m very, very happy with my Furbo and the app, and am so glad I invested in this product.
