I have been looking for this tech all my life especially after buying so many toys that either my cats weren't interested or that I had to push toys back n forth to keep them interested. I've had Mousr for 4 months now and actively using it every day. Most people already captured the cons of it like battery life, having to adjust or recover or just press play again after it gets stuck to resume, but whilst those are very true unfortunately, the idea, attempt and the fact that it makes wonders while keeping my cat of 4 years old still entertained is incredible! They are constantly improving the Android app, introduced all day play mode to conserve battery as much as they can.
That being said, product definitely needs improvement. As the battery unfortunately isn't best as its tiny, they can take a look at the many vacuum cleaners and Vector Robot by Anki and make a return to home and recharge when battery is low. Needs navigational improvement as well. I don't think the confine play area ever worker for me. It'd be nice if it could map out the house or floor. Not sure how vacuum cleaners navigate...
Also being able to hold the tails constantly at an angle would be improvement.
Traction wise, it's rear wheel drive and tail is at the back, so most weight is at the back, so it tends to spin it's tires a lot consuming the battery. This I guess is nature's fault as they're trying to stick to real mouse's silhouette :)
Anyways, I usually keep the settings at Wall Hugger mode and sometimes my cat just likes to watch it from a high ground, sometimes goes after it and really plays with it especially, interestingly when it's stuck somewhere and actively tries to free itself.
I've barely used the Precise Mode, but I use the manual mode a lot. It's really fun to wiggle the tail close my cat, it engages her.
She likes the bounce tail more than the flick, because it has feathers and sits upright.
Mousr works in 2 ways. Either double click the button on it to engage auto mode or use the phone app to connect via bluetooth to manually control or set to auto mode.
If it had a tiny camera and if playing worked over wifi (in addition to bluetooth) it'd allow remote playing even when I'm traveling or at work or something...
Well endless possibilities for improvement. I'm currently just glad with it's capabilities and was worth every penny.
Worth mentioning, something had happened to the speaker as it wasn't functioning as loudy as before (of couse it wasn't settings related), I emailed them, returned the product and got it back repaired in a week. Great customer service! While at that, the sounds Mousr makes also captures my cat's attention. No it doesn't meow, more like a chime and a whistle sound. 3 sound levels exists.
In short, for a 4 year old 10lb cat this is the best toy that she could probably ask for now which enables me to be even lazier :)
It's great and works as advertised, thus 5 points. Room for improvement for sure but, I'm not going to give lower score for that and discourage people. This is an awesome product! I hope they'll make a second version.
Sorry for rather unstructured review!

Your Robotic Cat Sitter
Featuring Three Automatic Play Strategies
Not just a remote control toy, Mousr features 3 automatic play strategies, including Open Wander, Wall Hugger, and Stationary.
Choose the game that best fits your cat's mood and then further configure to their personality with speed and aggressiveness settings.
Mousr knows when he's caught and can be set to play dead or struggle.
Mousr can even flip himself when he's upside down, so the action never stops.
Mousr features free software updates so his automatic play styles keep getting better.
Jump Into The Action With Our Custom Remote Control Interface
You don't have to be an expert driver to drive your cat crazy.
Whether you're looking for a casual experience or are an expert remote control car driver, Mousr can be configured to suit your needs.
Our unique controller lets you know which direction Mousr is facing, so you can play the creative hiding games cats love and escape even when Mousr is out of sight.
Replaceable Tails
With Mousr, your cat can tear up its prey to its heart's content. Simply pop on a new tail and you're good to go.
Mousr features a variety of string and bounce tails so you can customize to your cat's personality and keep things fresh.
Tough Polycarbonate Shell
Mousr flips, crashes, and keeps on going. Mousr stands up to even the toughest cats (yes even big cats like Maine Coons and Savannahs).
More Fun with Sound
Use sound to attract your cat or find Mousr when he is hidden. You can even turn off sound on the home screen to make Mousr more approachable for timid cats.
Carpet? No problem!
Mousr's big wheels mean he works on all common household surfaces including high pile carpet. Mousr can take floor transitions with ease.
Rechargeable
Mousr features an internal 220mAh battery to keep him lightweight for cats and convenient for you.
