### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-06-26*

Well thought app with lots of information!   Had questions about getting records imported and got super fast and helpful response.   We give it a 5 paw rating!

### 5/5 — Great way to keep track!

*2026-06-26*

I have 3 dogs so this makes my life easier than spreadsheet. I love that we can follow our fellow runners dogs as well. Thanks Dash-Hound!

### 5/5 — Great tracker!

*2026-06-12*

Love this app! So user friendly and is perfect for beginners and pros in the sport.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-08*

The features to import runs don’t work. The screenshot option says no runs were detected. The CSV option doesn’t do anything when you click it.

**Developer response:** The CSV button on iOS wasn't wired up properly, and the screenshot importer was rejecting iPhone screenshots. We also reached out via email the same day to help debug, but didn't hear back. Both issues are patched in the current version — please update and give it another shot, and feel free to email dashhoundapp@gmail.com any time. Thanks for flagging it.

### 5/5 — Amazing!! Easy to Use!!

*2026-05-16*

Dash-Hound is simply awesome!! It has everything you want in a Fast CAT tracker app and more!! Makes looking for events easy peasy. Also love the rank projection feature because the akc rankings always lag behind so it’s great to get up to the minute results where my pup stands.

### 5/5 — Solid App

*2026-05-10*

Got into fast cat competition in the last few months. App is pretty straightforward and easy to use. Good to see how Astro stacks up against the competition.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-05-02*

Love this app. Logging Fast CAT runs used to be a pain — now it takes 2 seconds. Easy to track and see how my dog is progressing toward titles. Clearly made by someone who actually runs their dogs. Highly recommend if you’re in the Fast CAT world.
