How to fix Petlibro app not working

If the app is completely unavailable, the problem may not be your phone. That being said, these fixes are worth trying before assuming Petlibro’s servers are down.

1. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data

• Turn off Wi-Fi and open Petlibro using cellular data.
• If that fails, try another Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot.
• Restart the phone and try again.

Petlibro specifically recommends changing networks when the app cannot load or a device will not connect.

2. Restart the feeder and router

• Unplug the Petlibro device.
• Wait about 30 seconds.
• Restart your router.
• Plug the feeder back in and reopen the app.

Petlibro recommends keeping the feeder within roughly 15 feet of the router during reconnection.

3. Check app permissions

On iPhone, make sure Petlibro has access to Local Network and cellular data. Android users should check nearby-device, Bluetooth, location, and network permissions where applicable.

4. Update or reinstall Petlibro

Check the App Store or Google Play for an update. If the app still refuses to load, reinstalling it can clear corrupted app data.

5. Reconnect the feeder

If the app opens but your device says offline, reset the feeder and add it again. Petlibro recommends holding the appropriate reset button until the device enters Wi-Fi connection mode.

Why is the Petlibro app not working?

The likely causes include a Petlibro server problem, unstable Wi-Fi, incorrect app permissions, outdated software, or a feeder that has lost its network connection. Recent Reddit reports make a server-side problem particularly plausible right now, although Petlibro has not confirmed a widespread outage.
