SMART NOTIFICATIONS

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-25*

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

### 3/5 — Still buggy

*2026-04-27, version 3.4.52*

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.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2026-04-12, version 3.4.52*

couldn’t get it to work so I gave up

### 1/5 — Connection breaksnup every time after couple hours

*2026-01-09*

Not reliable . Do not recommend

### 1/5 — Pass

*2025-11-23*

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.

**Developer response:** 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

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2025-05-30, version 3.4.30*

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

### 2/5 — Bad

*2025-03-02, version 3.4.26*

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.

### 2/5 — Good app when it works

*2025-01-27*

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.

### 1/5 — 垃圾app

*2025-01-20, version 3.4.24*

先用個試用期誤導顧客，原來是0天都算，功能完全像廢掉一樣，按回放每次都顯示錯誤、按下載每次都們掉再閃退、按記錄什麼記錄都沒有，完完全全是個垃圾app

### 3/5 — Well that’s confusing and NOT free at all

*2024-12-10, version 3.4.24*

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
