### 5/5 — What a fantastic service!

*2021-02-04, version 3.0.2*

App is easy and intuitive to use. And really pleased to have the ability to keep tabs of my wee doggie should he decide to take himself for a wander!

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2021-02-03, version 3.0.2*

If you're like me and love your dogs SO much, then I highly recommend this service. Peace of mind in case one of the rotters escape. This should be provided through every council as the more people who use it, the better for everyone. Thank goodness I haven't had to use it yet, but it's there if I need it.

### 5/5 — A life saver!

*2020-12-10, version 3.0.2*

The Doggone app and tags have proven to be a life saver. Pointing us in the right direction of our lost dog and having the back-up of the free text service printed on the tags has given us such peace of mind for our valuable furry family member.   An absolute must for all caring dog owners. Simple to create profile and set up

### 5/5 — Peace of mind

*2020-12-07, version 3.0.2*

Love having this app and Bluetooth function to know where my dog is and thankfully he’s never been lost but gives me peace of mind knowing that if anything happens I can track him down!  👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-09-25, version 3.0.2*

Such a fantastic idea! It gives me peace of mind that I would be able to find my pups if they ever went missing. I hope the Christchurch City Council will bring this into action! 😊

### 5/5 — Peace of mind for a greyhound mumma!

*2020-08-30, version 3.0.2*

Doggone is a great initiative and their dog tags - that allow traceability of your pup - bring peace of mind. 
I feel confident letting my greyhound run along the beach and out in substantially sized parks knowing that I have the Doggone app to fall back on if my doggo runs out of sight. 
The app is simple to use, fun to see your pooch on the map, and it’s a simple way to help reunite doggos in the community with their humans. 
I hope my council jumps on board with Doggone soon.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app and idea!

*2020-08-17, version 3.0*

We love our doggone tag and know that if our fur baby was to get lost we could track him down to a very accurate location using doggone. It is a very easy to use app and the tag is very small, light weight and water proof on our dogs collar. Wish our WCC council would roll this technology out for Wgtn dogs and their owners!

### 5/5 — Doggone is great

*2020-08-06, version 3.0*

The customer service from the start has been excellent and Tracy always gives clear instructions and is always there to lend a hand.
I love the concept of keeping track of your own dogs but helping others when their dog goes missing as well.

### 5/5 — Terrific app

*2020-07-26, version 3.0*

This is a great app with excellent customer support. The tag itself is very sturdy and looks great. It was very easy to set up, and everything is very straightforward. I have great confidence in it should I ever lose my doggie!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2020-02-23, version 2.0.9*

This is an absolute must for all dog owners! I don’t know why this isn’t available at other councils... it should be mandatory.
Had some issues with the first tag but new hardware seems to have completely sorted that!

### 5/5 — Any dog owner should have this app

*2019-08-29, version 2.0.7*

After two dogs went missing on a walk recently it made me so glad that I have Doggone. It gives me peace of mind knowing that while my dog is with his dog walker both her and I have access to his location. Tracey is incredibly helpful and you can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and their dogs.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-08-21, version 2.0.7*

I got one of these for my puppy who is constantly getting out of the gate. It works so well, the app is so easy to use, and any time I’ve had a question Tracy has gotten back to me immediately. Would highly recommend this for any trouble dog!

### 5/5 — Great tags and great customer service

*2019-07-18, version 2.0.6*

I initially had problems with my Doggone tags but Tracy was fantastic and I was able to swap for new tags that work perfectly. I am able to track the dogs now.

The app is easy to use.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-07-16, version 2.0.6*

I’ve recently got Doggone tags for my 2 dogs and just had them away on holiday with us this last week. It picked up my dogs locations constantly, wherever we were. What a fantastic service Doggone offers and the App is so easy to use. Big thumbs up!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Low quality app

*2020-04-12, version 2.0.9*

App routinely fails to report dog sightings. Developer has tried to help but unable to fix problem. Will not be purchasing this service from the Hutt Council when registrations are renewed this year.

### 1/5 — SLOW & Not innovative

*2020-02-15, version 2.0.9*

Takes days to update your dogs location. Doesn’t support multiuser, even using the same account, only 1 can be logged in at a time. As I write this review it shows my dogs location from 4 months ago. My phone is an iPhone 11 so that’s not the issue. On top of this it states my dogs registration number belongs to another dog, obviously hugely flawed app.
Wouldn’t recommend spending the extra. 
Great concept but obviously should have waited until it was perfected before launching. GPS signal obviously almost non existent. 
Everyone that got one of these should be refunded!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2019-09-27, version 2.0.8*

Great app useless hardware. First tag stopped working after a few weeks second tag same story.

### 1/5 — Does not support multi user

*2019-07-03, version 2.0.4*

Cant have more than one user per dog absolutely hopeless - often out of town and partner needs access also. Waste of money I should have purchased GP tracker

### 1/5 — Can’t log back in now I have registered??

*2019-07-02, version 2.0.3*

Asked to reset password and it’s not even sent an email - very frustrating

### 3/5 — Pretty decent!

*2019-07-15, version 2.0.6*

Works more or less as intended. 

A bit problematic in a) it’s very slow (feels like a long time communicating with the server) and b) asks you to login daily, which is a significant pain combined with a).

### 5/5 — Doggone is such a good protection service for your pets

*2024-02-27, version 3.1*

We love this service to protect our gorgeous puppy. It’s great how simple and quick it is for people to reunite a lost dog. I would highly recommend for every pet to wear one of these tags if you, as an owner want your pets to be safe at all times!

### 5/5 — Simple & Sendible

*2022-12-13, version 3.1*

Easy to use and super handy particularly if you don’t want to have your personal details printed all over your dogs collar tags

### 5/5 — amazing app for peace of mind

*2021-05-07, version 3.0.2*

great to see this type of innovation coming out of New Zealand. the peace of mind is invaluable to me for my dog. and the text reunite service is a brilliant service. i love the way that the whole community can help quickly and safely reunite a dog with its owner.

### 5/5 — Clever App!

*2021-04-08*

How good is it to be able to trace your beloved dog if they go missing. It’s a clever innovative app that gives you peace of mind. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-03-22, version 3.0.2*

My dog is a Houdini at getting out, Doggone gives me peace of mind that he will be found and spotted quickly now and easily and every time. Such a great idea and app and so easy to use, every dog owner needs this!

### 5/5 — Doggone

*2021-03-07, version 3.0.2*

Such peace of mind knowing there is an ability to track down your lost dog. Any queries I have had regarding the app and how it works, have immediately been answered - could not fault the top notch customer service.

### 5/5 — Great concept app

*2021-03-05, version 3.0.2*

Great app for locating lost dogs, everyone’s worst nightmare to have your closest go missing, we had experienced this a few years back and wish the app was available then !

### 5/5 — Peace of mind

*2021-03-05, version 3.0.2*

Peace of mind to all dog owners. Great initiative and awesome customer service. Thanks for being so creative!

### 5/5 — Taking the stress out of reuniting dogs

*2021-02-26, version 3.0.2*

This app really saves a huge amount of time stress for dogs and owners. I wish Christchurch City Council were using this service to ALL dog owners as part of the license fee. Regardless of that using it as a dog owner is a great idea. 

Easy to use making the whole experience simple.

### 5/5 — Doggone

*2021-02-05, version 3.0.2*

Naughty Flo likes to taker her son Freddie on little walks ....to try and loose him I think!
Feeling safe knowing that I  can see where abouts they are. Well done Doggone 👏👏
