Lack of info/no reasonable way to look up

If you are a scientist in need of limited info, this is the app for you. I don’t get it. This used to be an excellent app. They have redone it by removing information & unless you know the scientific name of anything, made it impossible to find. Most people whom use this app aren’t scientists, were regular people scared to death & in need of real information right now that’s easy to get too. Even if you do know the scientific name, it’s unlikely there. This used to be filled with endless potential poisons. Now there are only a handful. This went from an excellent app to a complete waste of time & that time being your pets life.

Bad

No reason this needs an account

Basic, but good place to start

More of a ‘is it or isn’t it toxic, and if so please call us

Crap company with a crap app

Those are words so kids could read the review. They deserve being called worse that would get this review blocked. ASPCA is a worth pathetic company in the first place that should be shut down and the founders shot for the corruption that is in their company. Not to mention they want to rip you off for a simple yes or no answer. They want you to pay 80$ for so idiot on the phone looking at a computer screen to simply tell you yes or no if a plant is poisonous to your dog. These morons have no clue what they are doing. Do not use this app it’s worthless anyways and is way off on all the list of things in it. Do not support the ASPCA they are not worth a single penny.

Log in issues

I used this app successfully for quite a while & then suddenly, it requested a log on. I have attempted to use old one and it won’t allow. I have tried to create a new one. It won’t let me. For a poison website, it’s inexcusable. I have had to find another and will not be coming back to this one.
