The only option is Pass Away? Please fix and I would be happy to change to five stars. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2025-03-25, version 8.0* I’m enjoying this app to manage my pack. Would be great to enable notifications of birthdays. ### 5/5 — Excellent App! *2024-06-24, version 8.0* Excellent App! I have 3 German Shepherd Dogs, 2 Blacks, and a white one. The 2 blacks are my service dogs and I have to keep explicitly records for them to keep the certification. Dog Buddy is the tool that I trust. I recommend it, excellent tool!!! ### 5/5 — Dog buddy *2024-06-17, version 8.0* Love this a diary for my dog it’s great ### 5/5 — Dog daily usage & record keeper & more *2024-04-19, version 7.1* A very useful valuable app ,for all dog owners. all the tools needed to keep on hand or use daily for what matters most on your dogs daily health and living day to day. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-02-26, version 7.1* Great app to keep everything for your dog at your fingertips ### 5/5 — Dog Buddy Update *2024-02-11, version 7.1* Thank you for adding "pass away" option. That allows memories to be saved while not adding to the age of the dog. She is not forgotten while the memories of the new pup build. Addition It’s been 8 years since she passed and I still use the diary to capture my thoughts and feelings. I recommend Dog Buddy to people I meet. ### 2/5 — Buying it again *2024-02-10, version 7.1* I already paid for this app and now it wants me to buy a subscription on top of it. And I can’t export anymore and they put a limit on the diary and unless I subscribe I can’t do anything. That’s not the right way to gain subscribers. It’s a pretty basic app so I find the double charging over the top. ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-02-07, version 7.1* Room for improvements, but this is the best one I've found. Wish you could upload more than one photo at a time and change the date on the caption. I like that I can finally export the data! ### 4/5 — Easy to use! Very helpful! *2023-08-12, version 7.1* Would like to use the export email to one of my Veterinarians, but is not including the medication log. Have contacted support for help with this. I am still on the trial, so maybe some of the options are not available until fully subscribed. Will wait for answers. ### 2/5 — Crashes frequently; no vax schedule *2023-07-11, version 7.1* App crashes frequently; when adding vaccinations, or saving vaccinations or diary entries… basically any time. There is also no built in vaccination recommendations that help you schedule your vaccinations. Reminders do not display consistently. Some show, others do not. No reason. There needs to be a field for recording vaccine brand names and anatomical location of the shot. Still trying to find a good pet care log. This isn’t really it. Close, but not there. Update: - why can’t fields for weight and date be updated to simple entry and calendar entry respectively. Needs an ergonomic update. - Reports are kind of useless for weight need to be able to see trend since start and in reasonable date ranges. (Go look at MyFitnessPal.). ### 5/5 — Love this App!! *2023-06-08, version 7.1* This is the best app. Keep all of my pet records and pictures together in one place. Love it! Would recommend to anyone! ### 3/5 — Mixed useful *2023-05-07, version 7.1* Has good categories and fairy easy to work with, but difficult to sync between IPhone and IPad. When I wrote for support got nothing..made several tries ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2023-04-24* Great app, keeping records for my dog is easy now. It will be helpful when cresting a diary I could add pictures. When providing information a picture would assist the statement a great deal. Thank you ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2023-04-18, version 7.1* Very useful app, I like that I can have all the information about my dogs with me, all the time ### 5/5 — Excelent App *2023-03-28* Excelent App. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2023-03-26, version 7.1* Fantastic app ### 4/5 — Very helpful *2023-03-21, version 7.1* Very helpful to have info on my phone. I wish there was a word search feature to easily locate info in a day’s note. My pet has hundreds of entries and it can be tricky finding a note’s detail scrolling through. A key word search would be awesome. Please if this app will be discontinued inform us. I have important health info that is crucial I am able to access. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absurd *2024-04-01* It's absurd that I have to pay again for the app when I bought the premium version and it doesn't work to print and export data. I'm not satisfied, I need the data ### 1/5 — Backup and restore not helpful *2023-05-07, version 7.1* Had this app on my iPad. Paid the 1.99 to add to my phone - still can’t restore the version to my phone. Meaning I’d have to re enter all the data. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-10-10, version 7.0* Disappointed that I had to pay just to access my info . I understand that the cost needs to increase but this should not apply to customers who already purchased the one time fee. ### 1/5 — Paid for the app but now a subscription *2022-07-23, version 7.0* I paid for this app (which works fine), but then the developers decided that was not enough and have implemented a subscription “service” (which provides nothing new) if I want to continue using it. I’ll support others devs that don’t bait and switch. Avoid these guys! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t auto backup *2022-02-22, version 7.0* I just got a new phone and lost years of my dogs medical history ### 1/5 — Waste of time—app doesn’t sync with other devices *2020-06-24, version 5.0* I bought the pro because I believed it would sync with my tablet and phone, but I haven’t been able to see just how to accomplish this since there is no log in or account set-up. It looks like it would be a great way to keep up with pet records, etc., but if I can’t sync with my tablet it’s useless to me. I can’t do everything on my phone. ### 1/5 — Deleted Diaries *2020-06-19, version 5.0* I’ve been keeping a log of my new puppy’s potty training and food schedule. I went to put in the newest update and found that the entire log was gone. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t separate vaccines by pet... *2020-05-23, version 5.0* Paid for the pro version to add multiple dogs but the vaccines section doesn’t even give the option to record vaccinations by pet. It’s just a list. Could have served the same purpose using the notes app for free. Super disappointed. ### 1/5 — Don't upgrade to Pro *2017-08-30, version 4.3.1* You have to get Pro if you have two dogs but you can't then record weight etc for two dogs... there's no ability to choose the dog for weight, vaccinations etc. Waste of money 😡😡 ### 1/5 — Nice app, but one big flaw for my needs. *2011-12-01, version 1.1* I like everything about this app, except the way you enter the weight of your dog. You can enter new weights only for the current year, but I need to enter the last several years of history. The weight field has options down to the minute and AM or PM, which is completely useless. Please add the option for a different year(s) to be chosen, which will make this app much more useful. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-02* Great to store general information about your pets and keep track of weight vaccinations etc ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-03-09, version 8.1* Love this app to keep track of my pups weight, medical history, info... ### 5/5 — Great application *2026-03-05, version 8.1* I keep all my dog’s health info, great when at a vet visit can provide information & timelines of events. E.G. Date of last ear infection ### 5/5 — Easy to use. *2026-03-04, version 8.1* Best app to keep track of vaccinations, weight, meds, and other milestones. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-02-28, version 8.1* All of my dogs information at my fingertips. ### 5/5 — Awesomeness *2026-02-01, version 8.1* A great tool to keep your records updated ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-10, version 8.1* Love it!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-12-11, version 8.0* All of my dogs information at my fingertips. ### 5/5 — Awesomeness *2024-11-19, version 8.0* A great tool to keep your records updated ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-07-05, version 8.0* I use this app to keep myself updated with all aspects of my pets needs. I regularly update their weight, I update their monthly medications and update their yearly vaccinations. I have 3 dogs so it’s a good way of keeping on top of everything. I like the fact that it also has the options to notify you of upcoming appointments I would highly recommend this app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
