Review summary

Users praise Omlet for remote control, scheduling, and notifications, plus easy setup. However, recurring themes include offline/connectivity problems, feature issues after updates, rapid battery drain, delayed or unreliable commands, and concerns over value for money. When the system works, it’s reliable, but persistent UX and connectivity issues limit consistent use.

Pros

Remote door control and scheduling via the app
Door status and activity notifications
Easy setup and iPhone-friendly design
Peace of mind and security for poultry (prevents predators)

Cons

Connectivity issues: app often shows offline or fails to connect to the door
Recent updates remove or break key features and degrade UX
Battery life and power management problems with the WiFi-enabled controller
Delays in executing commands and inconsistent real-time response
High price relative to the app’s reliability and features

2026-07-12	No*****	Reviewing the smart feeder. It's not so smart. And it's expensive! I give it two stars for the only fact that it's shape design is the only feeder that my hens can't manage to spill the feed out of, so I do love that. But the control options on the app are severely lacking. You have no control whatsoever. I have one set to time mode- it never opens and closes on the times I've set. And there is not an option on the app to click "open" or "close". I also have the door, which does have that option- and works great. Why can't that option be available for the feeders? Doesn't make sense. The other one I have set to light mode. So it should open and close at dawn and dusk. One would think. But no. Most of the time I have to go out and physically push the button on the feeder to open or close. Y'all need to get it together for the price you're getting. It's honestly, well, dishonest.

2026-06-05	ea*****	I don’t understand how the maker of this app thought people would only ever want to schedule their feeder. Let’s say it’s raining really hard at an angle and the chickens are in the coop and I wanna close the feeder to protect the food. I can’t close the door without going out there and pressing the button. Only for it to open back up because, I think, the app refreshes the schedule and just opens it back up. you gotta fix that. You you can’t ask me to pay top dollar and then phone in the app.

2026-05-16	RD*****	This is a cool concept but the app never works. Takes like a day if lucky to update its info like open, closed, or how much food is in the feeder. Light sensor never works and basically the only way to open it is by pressing the button on the feeder. Payed tons of money just for this all to be garbage

2026-04-09	St*****	Door good….app total garbage. I have two smart doors and smart feeders. App is horribly inconsistent. Set up worked but first time we lost power at our property nothing in the app worked correctly again. Not connected notifications but WiFi signal shows connected. Doors and feeder are actually connected and are working perfectly per their programmed schedule. App says all offline!!! But I can close and open doors. Can’t even begin to imagine why the smart feeder can’t be opened and closed remotely just like the doors! Seems like a poor decision and defeats some of the point of being able to add it to the app? Wish the app was better but it’s garbage (looks nice though!!!!)

2026-03-09	Mr*****	App is kinda wonky, odd UX. Missing super obvious feature: Let me set my auto door to open/close X minutes before/after local sunrise/sunset. Annoying to have to change it constantly, especially around daylight savings.

2026-01-21	Je*****	I wish I could do half stars because much as I love how useful this app is, it can be wonky at times. However it’s been so helpful for us that I left 5 stars. We use this in our catio and when our cat gets out, I can leave the door open till he comes in. It’s been a huge help.

2026-01-21	Fu*****	You can no longer open or close the door remotely from the app as the button because it’s gone in the latest update. The app often doesn’t connect correctly to the coop door. The door works fine without it - but it’s sure lame I don’t have all the features I paid for.

2026-01-20	JT*****	This app has worked great for me. I have yet to have issues with it. It is easy to understand and use. It is very well designed for use with my iPhone. Setup was easy as well.
