Let me start by saying I had high hopes for the Vislone WiFi Fish Feeder. The idea of controlling my fish's meals from my phone while on vacation sounded like a dream. But reality hit hard.

The first red flag? No power supply included. Seriously, in 2023? I had to scramble to find a compatible USB charger just to test this $40 gadget.

The app is where things really fell apart. After 30 minutes of failed connection attempts (and some very colorful language), I realized the app might as well be decorative. The 'connect' button seemed more like a suggestion than an actual function.

When it miraculously did connect, the feeder would sometimes dispense food... and sometimes just stare at me blankly like it forgot why it exists. Not exactly reassuring when you're about to leave town for a week.

The build quality matches the software - plasticky and cheap feeling. My goldfish looked more durable than this feeder. And don't get me started on the 'USB rechargeable' claim - mine refused to hold any charge whatsoever.

Here's the saddest part: When it actually worked (about 20% of the time), the concept was brilliant. But between connectivity issues, power problems, and general unreliability, this feeder caused more stress than it solved.

Final verdict: Save your money and ask your neighbor to feed your fish. This tech solution creates more problems than it solves.
