### 3/5 — Review

*2022-11-04, version 1.5.10*

I read a review someone put regarding nothing really being on the app but everything is available.  I and  friends have tried to add their business one of them has been  emailed saying something stating they are a business but they’re still NOT in the app itself.  It’s like google maps- a lot of companies don’t show up at all . As for my experience.. it’s  been varied. I’m less liking now than I did when it was first around. For one- nothing has really changed. For 2. Nothing has really changed. But a happy note- nothing has really changed and I love that.

### 4/5 — More users needed!

*2022-07-14, version 1.5.10*

I travel a lot with my dogs around the UK and find that there’s so many dog friendly places to eat but none listed on the app. I bombard the app in every place I stay with as much as I can but I’d love to see it saturated with more. 

The news feed and territory marking is something I don’t use so unsure of how successful that is for others. 

If there’s places you want me to visit to help saturate this more then let me know 😁

### 5/5 — Lovely app

*2019-10-20, version 1.5.2*

Fun to use. Other users are always friendly, helpful and supportive. A breath of fresh air away from all the ‘human’ social media!

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2019-05-27, version 1.5*

This is such a lovely app and a wonderful idea, it really adds joy to one’s life. I’m not one for social media, but this is kind, gentle and fun... and the creators created this with the right intentions, makes such a change these days. 

I highly recommend it, especially if you love animals of all descriptions ♥️

Big love to Tobia’s parents 😘

### 5/5 — Tikki

*2019-03-15, version 1.4.8*

Love the app it’s great fun better than Facebook

### 5/5 — Lots of Fun!

*2019-03-14, version 1.4.8*

I love this app it’s a great way to post photos & chat about your much loved furry family members.
It’s lost of fun, safe to use and very addictive! And the Bauwow App owners seem to be responsible & great monitors.
We’ve made lots of doggy friends and met some great humans. (always be safe when meeting people, never meet humans alone & meet in a public place)
It’s all about having fun and sharing your love of Pets!

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2019-03-14, version 1.4.8*

It’s a great app.  Really friendly and fun.  No nasty bits ever.  What’s not to like

### 2/5 — Seems ok but

*2019-02-28, version 1.4.7*

Doesn’t send lost dog notifications to the petlog.ldea great but one issue If that option doesn’t work not any use really.if that issue solve would be great.

### 3/5 — Missing pets

*2019-02-10, version 1.4.7*

It would be good to get people updating missing pet status. I contacted someone near me who has a dog listed as missing and it has been found - can you put a reminder alert in?

### 3/5 — Why no miles?

*2018-11-17, version 1.4.6*

Ok as an app, however with everything in Km it means nothing to me. You need an option to use proper imperial measures as well as metric.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-09-30, version 1.4.3*

Great App
Needs updating, abit outdated but I love it 
Great lil app for dog lovers/animal lovers 
Highly recommend !!

### 5/5 — Love everything about this, apart from it’s main function. But that’s not to say it isn’t good.

*2018-09-19, version 1.4.3*

It works well, but needs updating for the bigger devices keyboard (cmon guys it’s been 5 years). The lost dog and community stuff is nice, and the petlog integration is fantastic, but the social feed makes my skin crawl.

Lonely and bored middle aged people talking about their pets from the perspective of their pets. Comes off hella weird and cringey, and the next time I see the word hollibobs I think I’m gonna take a long walk off of a short pier. 

Gets a 5 star because whilst a lot of its features aren’t for me, it does what it does well so who am I to criticise, and the social media side whilst I don’t like it it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist and deserves penalising. A lot of people seem to love it, so I may well be the odd one. As i said though, it needs an update for larger devices. 

Peace

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2018-06-25, version 1.4.2*

The downside - it’s addictive! Spend way too much time uploading my dogs adventures! I love it!

### 2/5 — Having issues

*2018-05-28, version 1.4.2*

The Daily bark news feed never loads for me. The location tags me 15 miles away from my current location. This stops me seeing other potential pack mates close by. Disappointed as this app is recommended on the KC website.

### 1/5 — Needs updated

*2019-05-13, version 1.5*

Species is blanked out so I cannot change dog to cat and then app malfunctions and closes.

### 1/5 — Will not work

*2019-03-03, version 1.4.8*

I installed this app in December and it worked fine, but now when I go to launch it it crashes immediately and shuts down. It’s showing I have a notification but I can’t see what it is as the app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Site!

*2019-02-12, version 1.4.7*

Can you please do something about this App? It keeps coming up with a notification on the site yet when I go to it there’s nothing there?

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2018-11-17, version 1.4.6*

Can’t load the details of my second dog, it keeps defaulting to the first. I only want the app to circulate my dog’s details if it is lost but it won’t let me input her microchip details.

### 1/5 — App

*2018-08-22, version 1.4.3*

Is this the app for cats to as it’s only showing for dogs and I haven’t got a dog and it’s just a wast if it’s not for cats as well

### 1/5 — 100% Rubbish !

*2018-07-01, version 1.4.2*

Don’t waste your money.  Could not even access it, despite trying for over 20 minutes.   Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Not a great start

*2017-04-05, version 1.3.6*

Saw someone mention this in FB so thought I would have a look. Every section in the app I click goes "oops.. failed" so nothing actually works other than setting up your dog.

### 1/5 — Poor. Not much useful information

*2016-11-04, version 1.3.4*

Couldn't find much useful information. Looks good superficially but when you try to use it to find anything, very little is returned.

### 1/5 — Not useful in US

*2016-10-31, version 1.3.4*

Faulty app that doesn't help you find dog-friendly businesses, or connect you with local dogs (I'm on east coast of US and the closest users are 300 miles away). Can't search for anything easily and app just feels incomplete.

### 1/5 — Waste of memory

*2016-06-22, version 1.3.3*

Won't even verify my account so I can log on and have a look! Tried several emails. Waste of phone memory and time

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Wish I could give 100 stars!

*2021-02-11, version 1.5.10*

A nice safe place to showcase your non-human family members without the creepiness associated with those “human” social networks. It’s obvious the developers of this platform love animals. My furry family members have been members since it's inception. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-06-11, version 1.5.6*

I joined literally 6 hours ago and my dog is already famous😍 rate 5 stars and I recommend to get this app!! Do as many stars you can!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Stupenda!

*2019-12-18, version 1.5.2*

Che dire... una porta che introduce in un mondo splendido. Un “social” veramente social, fatto di amici veri, che comprendonio a fondo cosa significhi la grande fortuna di avere accanto a se un amico a quattro zampe, che ti supportano in ogni occasione. Tantissime informazioni utili e grande attenzione anche alle “piccole” cose.

### 5/5 — Wow!!!!

*2019-11-06, version 1.5.2*

App stupenda!

### 5/5 — Great fun and a friendly community

*2019-11-01, version 1.5.2*

Post pics of your beloved pets, of all species, and share useful information on good places to visit, walk, or holiday with your pet.
Share info quickly and effectively, should the worst happen and you become separated from your pet.
Find goods and services.
Lots of uses for this app, but mainly I like looking at the lovely photos!

### 5/5 — Furry friends

*2019-10-22, version 1.5.2*

What a fabulous app, made lots of new furry friends here in uk and internationally, lovely to see everybody’s pets-all kinds of pets too. It’s informative and fun..🐶❤️

### 5/5 — I love Bauwow

*2019-10-21, version 1.5.2*

Likeminded people and their pets, showing photos, helping each other with advice, and generally having fun.  My doggy is a huge part of my life, even though I have a husband, 3 children and 2 cats.  I love all the chats and helping when a pet goes missing, which is why I joined in the first place ( when one if my cats went missing). What is not to like? 😁

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-10-21, version 1.5.2*

We love this ap, it is full of kind lovely people who love their animals, which is a pleasant break from vain selfies, apart from us fur babies,  of course, nasty comments & life bragging. 
The ap is full of helpful advise & the community always share their experiences if asked. 
They have helped my Mum through the most horrendous heartbreaking year with their love & kind words. Def recommend this ap to any responsible animal owner ❤️❤️

### 5/5 — My favourite app

*2019-10-20, version 1.5.2*

Love this App, have made so many new friends. Not just in the UK, all over the world. Super easy to use, always getting updates and 

Useful information

### 5/5 — Great fun for animal lovers

*2019-10-20, version 1.5.2*

Bauwow keeps pet owners in touch sharing great times with their pets A really lovely way to post pictures of our furry friends and family 😊
