  • Fantastic App

    This app helped me potty train my miniature dachshund puppy. She’s now 1.5 years old and thriving!!

    I love the ability to share between a family, so my husband and I (who are on different schedules) have access to the feed. We never have to ask each other when the last time our dog went potty. It also helps me track medication, vet appointments, and feeding.

    The developer of the app is very responsive and has worked with me to troubleshoot bugs and issues after updates.

    In top of that, it’s free!!!! Great app.
  • Great, but latest release came with bugs

    Have used this app for months since getting a new puppy and it’s worked out great. However, this latest release updated the UI (which is good) but it came with some bugs and performance issues. The app runs a bit slower now and takes a while to post a new entry. Also, there’s now an issue when trying to run an iOS Shortcut where I now keep getting an “internal error” when the Shortcuts were working fine prior to this latest release.

    Developer Response

    Glad to hear it has worked well for your puppy. I believe all the bugs and performance issues are now addressed, please update your app if you haven't done so already 🙂 Regarding iOS Shortcuts giving "internal error", this is a consequence of an architecture change making Intents separate app extension. Sorry about breaking old shortcuts, this should not happen again. They should be much more performant now 🚀
  • So helpful

    I love this app! I only didn’t give it 5 stars because the notifications don’t seem to be working for me, and it would be nice to be able to choose multiple emojis for the events - but other than that it’s great!!
  • Awesome

    As a Neurodivergent I tend to download apps than forget they exist. This app has a wonderful simple and easily usable interface and unlike my normal use I noticed how much I’ve actually used it. Plus I’ve not spent a dime, it’s good enough I’ll likely update to support the developers.
  • Great App!

    Works well for both me and my boyfriend for our one pet. The interface looks modern, it’s easy to add events, and you can sync with another person without having to pay to unlock premium features- something most other apps require. A few suggestions we’d make are: ability to choose light or dark mode instead of it automatically changing, seeing how long it has been since the event was logged (i.e. 3 min. ago, 2 hrs ago, etc.) on the activity page underneath the time it was charted, the ability to add a note to the activity page without it being attached to an event, and having the analytics page provide more useful information. It’s not helpful to me to see what percent of activity is logged by who, but it would be helpful to see how many times each event was logged and for how long.
  • Pay for more than 2 pets

    I was really hoping this app would be great for reminders and rare events like every 5 years for rabies shot, 6 month cleanings, etc. I added my first 2 dogs and when I went to add a 3rd, it was either $30/year or $3/month. I do not understand why they want you to pay for the service if you have 3 pets and not 2. Deleted it. I’ll just use iCal.
  • Best dog journal app

    This app is fantastic. Create custom tracking categories (aka “activities”) and share with family members to collaborate. You can add custom details and fields to each dog’s profile and the Apple Watch app lets you quickly record activities. Unlike other dog journaling apps, the privacy is good.
  • Great app...but

    This is a great app for keeping up with your pet's records. The problem is I found an issue with deleting activities and tried to contact the developer, but the email address is not working. After writing a review, the company reached out and said that have fixed the bugs and it should be working in the next release. Awesome!

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback 💚 Deleting activities will work in the next app version. Also fixed other issues you mentioned 🙂
  • Great tool for keeping tabs on the pups!

    Absolutely amazing app with a beautiful UI. We’ve got three dogs now, and this one helps take the guesswork out of when we last did something, or when one of the pups hits a milestone.
  • Great app for track

    Very easy to use and clear. Thank you!
