Okay, so I bought this Tetra Connect Wi-Fi feeder thinking it would solve all my fish-parenting problems. Spoiler: It didn’t.

First off, the build quality is solid—ABS material, not that flimsy plastic junk. But here’s the kicker: THE APP IS GONE. Like, vanished. The whole point of this thing is to automate feeding, but without the app, it’s just a fancy manual feeder. What’s the point?

Some people claim they got it working with an older app version (shoutout to the 1.03 update crew), but good luck finding that now. I spent hours trying to connect it to my mesh Wi-Fi (2.4GHz vs 5GHz drama—ugh). Finally dug out an ancient router just to make it work. Not exactly plug-and-play.

Manual mode? Sure, it functions… but if I’m home to press a button, I might as well hand-feed my clownfish. They love nibbling my fingers anyway!

Verdict: If you find a working app loophole, this could be great. Otherwise, it’s a $50 paperweight. Two stars for effort (and because my betta Ruby deserves nice things).
