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.
Inaccurate symptoms, not enough food.
While I love the idea if an app for poison, this particular one doesn't have nearly enough options for food available. For dogs there are maybe 20 foods available to check. And when I went to the horse section, it labeled coffee as mild with one of the symptoms being “vomiting”. Now, to anyone who knows about horses, you would know that it is physically impossible for horses to vomit- hence the reason for colicing. But the app didnt have colic as one of the symptoms. Very disappointed :(

requires login every time you open it
why create a barrier between a pet parent and possibly life-saving information ?
Incorrect information
Among the incorrect information I’ve found, symptoms for salt ingestion by horses is vomiting... horses physiologically cannot vomit.

Money grab
This whole system is a money grab.
Sign in? Why?
What is the reason for requesting an account if this app is a reference and acts more like a searchable book?
Makes no sense from a privacy stand point.

Crashes when you log in
It’s garbage. It crashes when you sign up. Unusable garbage
Excellent resource
Simple to use, precise and to the point information. People complain about the categories and the fact that items are listed under scientific names, but they seem to have overlooked the fact that the app also has a search function that works very well, so that you don’t have to scroll through categories. If your search is not returning a result, simply google the product in question to see if there is an alternate name. I was able to search garlic, vitamin b, oxycodone, and phenylephrine with no difficulty. When Sudafed didn’t return a result, I googled Sudafed and punched pseudoephedrine (the active ingredient) into the app instead, which gave me the result I was looking for.
This app will neither diagnose your pet’s symptoms nor tell you if what/how much your pet ingested WILL cause a problem- an app cannot practice veterinary medicine. However, this app is a good first step to determine whether you should seek additional assistance. In order to properly utilize the tool and appreciate it, it’s helpful to understand its purpose.

Great concept but doesn’t open
This is a great concept for an app and as a cautious and concerned pet owner I was excited to download. However, any time I try to open the app on my phone it starts and then automatically shuts down and closes and I am unable to view any information.
Requires Providing Personal Information
Unfortunately, you cannot use this app without creating an account or using other commercial personal information brokers such as Facebook or Google. I’ll assume ASPCA believes they need to aggregate your personal information and track you to assist with giving you information about poisonous food and plants. I can’t actually review content or the user interface because you CANNOT use the app unless you are willing to use an account and give up your rights to your privacy. Shame they did it this way. It might have been immensely useful.

Not up to date
Better to go online to their website to fond more up to date listing of toxic items.
Why Create Account?
This App forces you to give them an email address just to look at it. The last thing we need is more Junk Email coming in.
All info & functions blocked until you create an account
This is the kind of app you might download in an emergency trying to figure out if your pet might have been poisoned. But you can’t do anything with the app, anything at all, without first creating an account.
This is a terrible user on-boarding experience. I’m honestly shocked that any app developer still uses this approach.
I deleted it.

Too many foods missing that are poisonous for cats
Really could use this. Too bad.
Good info, I suppose...
if you happen to be a chemist, a veterinarian or medical professional.
Also useful if you thought ahead and outfitted your animal with a GoPro helmet camera.
Suggestion for next edition: start with symptoms. THEN identify potential poisons.
