App sucks.

Can’t upload images of my pets. Please fix this.

dont waste your time

app wont save spider profiles, wont save, constantly crashes, and does not load scientific name.

Great app! I’m just not a big fan of the AI use.

i’m new to spiders, and i got pretty overwhelmed over when to feed them but this app calmed that anxiety a lot. it shows me when to feed and charts when i feed them. it also supplies information, pictures, and even has a shop. you can even see other peoples collections of spiders!

the only downside in my opinion, is the amount of AI used. i’m heavily against AI, and the AI spider pictures are everywhere. I can avoid the AI chat bot, but the pictures irk me.

I hope one day they will be able to hire a human to draw for them, but for now, i will continue to use the app to help me and my spiders.

Crash (update! No crash)

I have 2 tarantulas. I successfully documented all of the info for the 1st one, but every time I add the 2 nd one I get the add for 30 seconds then black screen
Update: June 2026, the developer got ahold of me after making sure they removed the ad that was causing the issue so I am updating my review to 5⭐️ thanks for putting in the work!!

Love it

Used to crash every time I tried to add a picture but the developer was very responsive, and the problem was fixed quickly - Love how easy it is to keep track of my tarantulas.

Awesome

I have this same situation for snakes and man is it nice!!!! Great app

Husbandry skills on point

Amazing app!! Very helpful and I am a proud Pro member.

Lost everything

I’ve been supporting this app from the beginning and I’ve loved it. Since this new update however, I lost years of data and tracking. It’s not the first time it’s happened either. But this time, I lost everything. I just don’t think I will be returning.

Good app

It’s not a perfect app and it does still have some bugs it’s gotta fix. However I do enjoy using this to keep track of my spoods and it does help me a lot keep track of feedings, watering and molts!

New update ruined the app

At first, I thought the new update was awesome. Then today (day 3 of the new update), all my data is wiped from the app. Kinda in a panic due to how many tarantulas I have and that data is VITAL.

New update.

Love this app it helps a lot but this most recent update made all my cards super buggy things aren’t saving and cards are duplicating randomly, i really hope this can be resolved quickly.

Unusable

I really hate to leave a bad review on something - especially related to one of my favorite hobbies. However, this app is completely unusable. I haven’t even been able to add a single animal to my collection. I have watched the tutorials and everything to make sure I’m doing it right and not skipping steps even though it is pretty self explanatory. However, after selecting a picture, filling everything out, and then clicking “save” absolutely nothing happens. It stays on the same screen where I fill in all the info and the save button just lights back up. I can even spam the save button and nothing happens. I have closed out the app and restarted it as well as logged out of my account and logged back in. Nothing fixes the issue and if I can’t add anything to my collection then the app is useless. I will update my review once this issue is fixed as this app has great potential.

Much improved!

So glad this is still being worked on! It’s getting there!
The app now tells you which animal is due for a meal when it sends alerts. That’s awesome! Definitely a huge help.
I have around 70 tarantulas, some roach colonies, and other feeders, and I would be having a much harder time staying organized without this app.
Looking forward to seeing more amazing, helpful features in the future. Still have high hopes.

I Don’t Know How I Lived Without It!

This app is so handy! So much easier than keeping an excel spreadsheet or handwriting all the information about my tarantulas in a binder full of papers and separating sheets! I’ll forever be grateful. 🥰

Fantastic if you have many tarantulas.

I love how well this has helped me keep track of feeding and molting. It just keeps getting better with the updates. It’s very convenient and aesthetically pleasing.

Organized for my crazy mind

I really dig this app :) it makes keeping track of things so much easier, I really appreciate it!

Super useful

This app is so helpful for keeping track of your pets’ information and care. I love it!

Best T Tracking app

This is by far the best Tarantula Tracking app I have ever tried. It is easy to use and even without pro it is still very useful Spinner ai is very useful along with the care guides.

Almost perfect

I am using the app to track my jumping spiders. One feature we need is to record stats for egg sacs. Another feature I would love is a photo archive for each spider so I can track color changes for them as well as their chels since they vary and change so much from molt to molt.

Also, I would like to report an issue with transferring cloud data. I use the app on both my iPhone and iPad. Sometimes when I transfer data from one device to the other it will delete all pictures of my spiders, sometimes only some. It’s really frustrating because I have 50 spiders plus egg sacs and communal slings I’m tracking and it’s very time consuming to have to add them all back just for them to be erased again.

So much potential…

I keep coming back to this app hoping the dev has taken some suggestions and streamlined functionality.
My previous app just died. No longer available in the app store and broken.
It took me THREE days to update or transfer all 54 spiders to Arachnifiles. No data import or export.
It seems like dev might have gotten overwhelmed by the feedback and sort of… given up?
Friend, this app has SO much potential. But right now, it’s just not there. Great for new keepers and casual keepers who only have a few spiders.

Those of us who have 10+ and/or actively breed spiders, NEED more functionality.
A care tracker app needs to be more useful for tracking feeding, watering, molting, pairing, sac drops, dates, times, time between molts/feedings, whether an animal ate or refused food, etc, than spreadsheets, paper notebooks, and tank stickers.
You’re nearly there!
Maybe sit down with Richard/Tarantula Collective or something and work out details and then implement the changes.
This could be a 5-star app. It just needs some work. 🫶🏻

Response from developer

Hey hey! I know this is a late response but Apple doesn't tell me when users leave a review. Not sure if you are still using the app but I definitely have not given up! This app is my baby and been working on it since 2022. Haha. There as been some improvements already since this review. I would love to hear what you think! Best place to communicate is socials or the Discord channel. All can be found in the app! If you reach out make sure to mention this review so I know. Haha. Thanks! -Michael
