Leave a Review Dog Monitor
Perfect for rv
Use this in our class a motorhome to watch our three dogs. Leave one phone there (as dog monitor” and use another as the “people” monitor when we are out and about. Can talk to the dogs, watch there actions and notified when the dogs are “noisy”. Can move screen up down and around to see all areas. Even able to send prerecorded messages with touch of a button. Works perfectly!!Show lessNursie12
It works, and it works well!
This app is perfect. It works, which is obviously great, but it works really well for the price. I put it on my windowsill, facing my living room, and it catches every bark and movement my dog makes. You can put the alerts on silent and your phone will vibrate when he barks (if you want this setting on). It was great because while at a wedding, he began barking because we were running a bit late getting back to him, I speaking to him through the microphone and he stopped! The microphone worked perfectly. So if you have an additional wi-fi ready device that you can leave home then your in business. Get this, it really really works!Show lessgStarNY

Hi, thank you so much for your review! :) We're so happy to hear that Dog Monitor is helpful for you!Great App!!
This app is great for monitoring our handsome Doggo. The main reason we downloaded this is to use in an upcoming hotel stay. We’re leaving or dog in the hotel room in the evening for dinner, or an afternoon museum run. He’ll be in the room very little by himself, but we need to know if he’s making noise or anxious so we can come home early. This is literally the perfect app for this purpose as I can just set my iPad up to monitor and check in while we are out. Chances are we will become lifetime users at home too!Show lessOrganizedEffect
Great concept but needs a lot of work
I get the purpose and I understand why a lot of people like this app. Don’t get me wrong, I like the app and its intent. However, my biggest gripe is it’s notification feature. As mentioned by others, it’s really annoying to have actual noise coming from the Dog Station go through your phone. I get that there is a solution for that by muting it in the settings and still get normal device notification sounds. But here’s the thing, that is not the reason why I’m not giving this 5 stars. This app is required to be running in the background in order to get notifications. For most, our batteries can’t afford to have apps like this running all day. I want to love this app and continue to use it. But until you guys figure out a way to still get notifications without the app running in the background, I’ll have to stick with Alfred. Maybe you guys should ask them how they figured it out.Show lessOnly smart person here

Hi, thank you for your review and for your suggestions. The sounds from the Dog Station can be muted on the Person Station's Settings. We always try to adjust the app to make it use as little battery energy as possible. We send notifications when the app is running in the background and not when the app is turned off completely because of the reliability as it runs through our serves and you will receive every single notification. When sending notifications with the app being turned off completely, as you suggest, there would be a higher risk of not receiving some of the notifications on your Person Station or they could arrive later as they wouldn't run through our servers and you wouldn't be notified about your dog on time. It is an option, however, the reliability of the app is our priority.10/10 for this app!!!
I don’t like to pay for an app, but this was the best $4.99 I’ve spent on an app. I work during the day and I got an informal complaint from a neighbor in my apartment complex that my dog barks all day. I only had to use this app for one day to know that it’s not my dog because using this app I can tell my dog sleeps all day. I use my iPhone at work and use my iPad as as “dog station.” I’m going to set up an older iPhone that just uses WiFi for another view because I just like checking up on her now. 10/10 for this app!!Show lessstraeg
Worth every penny!
I downloaded this app when we first adopted our senior rescue dog because he didn’t react well to being crated and I wanted to keep an eye on him. Since then I have used it when I go to work to make sure not only my dog is safe, but my house, too! I have never had a problem with this app and am so grateful that I found it. I’m not one to rate apps- but I believe this is one of the most useful tools I have found for my iPhone/iPad and saved me from having to spend a ton on a camera. So happy with this app and the peace of mind it gives me!Show lesslms88308
Great
As someone with a dog with separation anxiety, this was a great purchase. Definitely better than the two hundred I had planned to spend on a camera. There is some connectivity issues but I can usually get a picture of her if not the livestream. I do wish it saved the mute option between opening and closing the app tho, I don’t think the whole office needs to hear the radio I leave on for my dog.Show lessInertias
Like the app but notifications are unbearable!
I just go the app a few days ago. The app is so great for watching my dog while I’m away. However, the notifications won’t stop! Every peep he makes my phone vibrates and the sound plays through my headphones. I have notifications turned off and i still vibrates. Can’t it just keep the log and I can check in as needed?
UPDATE: To stop the phone from vibrating, there is a setting under advanced settings in the app. Now this is definitely a 5 Star app!!!Show lessAhumaydan
It’s a good app...
I’m giving it 5 stars because I feel like it deserves it. It works. Now I wish they had other features. My mom would love to see her grand pups, but because we don’t leave close to each other, she can’t see them. I’ve been using it for over a year so it would be nice for them to update the FAQ’s
Still think it deserves 5 stars because it does exactly what they described.Show lessTEVAC
Does the job, but notifications are awful
You cannot leave this app open without being inundated by constant noise and vibration. And these notifications are not because my dog is making noise, they’re from the dog being quiet and there being some inability to play audio through current source.
Devs: please chill on notifications. I’d like to get one notification if my dog is making noise, that’s it. Right now I use this app by opening it, going to listen to all noise, check to see if my pup is making noise, then I quit the app so I don’t get constant annoying notifications and buzzes telling me nothing.Show lessThe cool Isaac
