Useless

You have to keep the owner unit app open on your phone otherwise it disconnects.

Still buggy

Even with restarts on the sending/receiving devices the program is buggy and has ongoing connection issues bit works but one needs to be patient for all the cycles reconnections. I wish they’d fix it.

doesn’t work

couldn’t get it to work so I gave up

Connection breaksnup every time after couple hours

Not reliable . Do not recommend

Pass

You get a FIVE MINUTE free trial and then it makes you pay to use. Doesn’t stay connected unless both of your devices are in the same room. Complete waste of money.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback and valuable insights. Where did you get 5 minutes from? You have a 3-day trial version available (when activating an annual subscription), which is enough time to properly test all features. Then it is entirely up to you whether you cancel the trial period in time or let it convert to a standard subscription. As for connecting both devices to the internet, you don't have to be in the same room. The app works not only on Wi-Fi but also on mobile data, so pairing and monitoring can take place over much greater distances. Thank you for your understanding. Buddy Dog Monitor team

No sirve

No les recomiendo que gasten su dinero en esta aplicación tarda horas para conectarse y si llevas prisa para ir a tu trabajo ni siquiera puedes conectarlo ayer por la mañana la conecté pero hoy que intenté dejarlo prendido no sirvió no se los recomiendo para nada

Bad

Hi my name is Harper and this app was terrible it didn’t work and you also had no choice but to pay a lot of money.

Would not recommend this app.

Good app when it works

very good app during trial. SIgned up for the weekly but there must be a bug where i can't verify my email and login to other devices.

Well that’s confusing and NOT free at all

Not only is it not free - suckers you in to a 3 day trial ONLY, U am completely confused what the heck is going on snd how to even set it up. There’s random codes to remember, pairing of other devices… I gave up

NOT free, must subscribe

No where when you download it does it say you MUST have a subscription in order to view camera. I set it all up on my IPad and tried to use my phone as owner unit and a pop up took over the screen demanding I sign up. They won’t let you click anything or view anything without signing up. They offer a 3 day free trial, but you MUST add your card and subscribe. It should be clearly stated that app is NOT free and you must subscribe in order to use basic features.

HORRIBLE

Never worked unless right next to my other device which defeats the whole purpose. 1 star is far too generous.

That’s weird

I got it free on the App Store but then they made me pay 7 cents per day just a to use it and also would it probably tell you if it cost something????????

It’s good but there’s one thing..

Overall, it’s great but sometimes my puppy gets confused when I say her name when she’s doing something bad

Professional night vision

I love this app because it can look after Kira,my dog and Sanchez,my cat and they are both teenagers and they both have a bad behavior at night so I'm so glad you made this app. I'm very satisfied. Thank you. Love Becky xxx

Update stopped app from working

I just updated the app on myniphone and it doesn't want to open anymore. I deleted the app, restarted the phone. Nothing works. The the same thing happened on my computer...

Extremely unreliable.

App crashes constantly, if it opens at all. Waste of my money.

Charged for free trial

Canceled 24 hours before free trial ended. Still got charged.

Terrible app

I bought a year long trial and it ended after a couple months. Would not recommend

What is this game all about

I can’t even get into the game because I’m just 6

Monitor

Should be more of an intro or directions. Often times can’t get the dog monitor to show dogs. No sound. Not helpful. Constantly disconnects
Once again no one is there or connected nor are you monitor big the app and it’s feed back. Sit back and collect the check. Useless
Please refund me
