## Review summary

Users appreciate the Whisker Android app for being easy to use and for enabling tracking of bathroom behavior and weight, aiding pet health and reducing litter maintenance. However, the app suffers from reliability and privacy issues: frequent offline status or launch failures, notifications that don’t work or are bothersome, and inconsistent data readings. Privacy concerns about the camera microphone and a clunky onboarding/navigation experience are also common. Improvements in stability, data accuracy, and privacy controls are needed.

### Pros

- Easy to use app
- Helps track bathroom behaviors and monitor pet health
- Weight data is a useful feature
- Reduces litter scooping and odor
- Overall convenience and peace of mind

### Cons

- App frequently offline or cannot open/register
- Notifications do not work reliably or are intrusive
- Weight measurements are inconsistent and waste fullness is not reliably updated
- Privacy concerns: microphone on camera cannot be disabled
- Frustrating onboarding and navigation / settings don’t save
