Allerdings erfolgen bereits gelöschte auch weiterhin und das ist nervig . ### 5/5 — Perfect little app *2026-03-23, version 4.1.1* There are three of us looking after our dog at various times, and this app allows us to know whether she’s had walks, food, pee or poo without having to message one another relentlessly asking the questions. It’s a small work of genius. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-01-28, version 4.1.1* I never missed a walk or bathroom break ### 3/5 — Setting up is a pain for two puppies. *2025-12-23, version 4.1.1* Sorting out reminders makes no sense. Need the ability to add more than one dog to each event reminder or the ability to copy an event reminder to other dogs. Took all night to set up two puppies in the app. Finding some bugs. Like logging walk manually after the fact. The controls to edit date and time do not do anything when clicked (iPhone 16 Pro Max). They just turn the field blue. Can’t change the values. Restarting the app fixed this issue. ### 5/5 — works great for cats too! *2025-12-19, version 4.1.1* this might be my first app review ever but i am OBSESSEDDDD with this app. it is exactly what i was looking for to mark all the little habits and things i do for my kitties !! super customizable it’s perf ### 5/5 — Very useful *2025-11-16, version 4.1.1* Two years later still very useful! One of the most important apps we have. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-11-09, version 4.1.1* We have 3 dogs and it’s a great app to keep track of all our pets activities. I have even used it for our reptiles and cat. We know exactly when each eat, drink and potty. I like the photo feature and how easily others (pet sitters) can join and easily be removed! ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-10-20, version 4.1.1* First of all great app for proud dog parents, so great since you can personalize your notifications and put in everything anyone would need to know about your dog. Secondly, love being able to see what events are going in the dog lover world very convenient and cool since I love to walk my French bulldog Eddie. ### 2/5 — cool app but no support for exotic pets *2025-09-22, version 4.1.1* I have a gecko and would love to use this app but it seems to only be for dogs and cats. please open it up to other animals! ### 5/5 — Game changer! *2025-09-20, version 4.1.1* This app is awesome. It really has improved potty training for our new puppy. There have been so far fewer instances of having to clean up messes inside. We can track all of her needs. The whole family helps! I can’t say enough how this app has helped us be better puppy parents. ### 4/5 — Dog Mom *2025-07-29, version 4.1.1* Love this app. I can coordinate everything in one place. Thank you. Only one problem. I took out a couple of reminders I had set up. Yet, the app is still sending me and my husband reminders twice a day. How can I stop this? I removed the entire reminder. Thank you for a great product. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2025-07-16, version 4.1.1* It is pretty good I love it ### 4/5 — Dog activity tracker *2025-06-15, version 4.1.1* I’ve recently started using this app again to track walks and dog park visits for my 2 dogs. I like that I can customise the event types I want to use to log things. Only downside is I have noticed a section for family activity summary and dog activity comparison, but the data points shown are all zeros, not sure why there is no data here when I have logged lots of events for both dogs. Unable to figure out how to get this to generate data. Does not seem to be a premium only thing. ### 5/5 — Can’t thank it enough *2025-05-30, version 4.1.1* I never knew when to let my dog use the bathroom but with this I now know when. ### 5/5 — WHAT WE NEEDED! *2025-05-28, version 4.1.1* The easiest to use app. All the additional analytics have been great. The monthly walk leaderboard has been incredibly motivating in our house. Fantastic! ### 5/5 — So Far So Good *2025-05-25* Just downloaded this app and started using it. I really like it so far. I have four dogs and no yard so we really needed to find a way to track potty breaks for all of them. I absolutely love that it lets you create custom events so that I could track regular potty breaks versus accidents inside. You can have up to three dogs in the free version which is great compared to other apps. I am trying out the free version to ensure I like the app. But will likely upgrade & add my 4th pup. ### 5/5 — It is so amazing *2025-05-12, version 4.1.1* I really like this app because it reminds me when I need to walk my dog or feed him. It is great for keeping track of walks and runs. I would highly recommend getting this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Subscription not included in description *2026-02-25, version 4.1.1* App requires subscription in order to use all features of the app. Subscription was not mentioned in the description of the app. 1 star rating for lack of transparency. ### 1/5 — Fun app *2025-07-12, version 4.1.1* I wish there was the ability to see a map of the runs so I could have my dog sitter use DogNote. Also, how do I account for my dog running off leash a bunch on our walks? Still a lot of UX improvement opportunities but otherwise a nice app. ### 1/5 — Too much personal info tracking *2024-09-01, version 3.6.3* After a brief trial I decided not to use this app because of the exorbitant personal info tracking it lists on the App Store. These invasive privacy practices are unacceptable. ### 1/5 — What pet? *2024-04-17, version 3.6.1* I was excited for this as my dog has some medical issues I’m trying to monitor but I couldn’t add a pet. Nothing happened when I clicked the + or the “add a pet” link. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Costs Money To Add Pet *2024-04-12, version 3.6.1* Not paying to add a pet delete ### 1/5 — Meh *2024-03-20, version 3.6.1* Too expensive for what it is ### 1/5 — Really? Now we have to pay for more than ONE pet? *2023-12-16, version 3.2.5* Ridiculous. Before you could have two pets on the free version, now you can’t even get that? Disappointing ### 1/5 — No instructions on how to use this app. *2023-11-10, version 3.2.1* No tutorial. Useless ### 1/5 — Pay for more than 2 pets *2023-04-27, version 2.6.2* I was really hoping this app would be great for reminders and rare events like every 5 years for rabies shot, 6 month cleanings, etc. I added my first 2 dogs and when I went to add a 3rd, it was either $30/year or $3/month. I do not understand why they want you to pay for the service if you have 3 pets and not 2. Deleted it. I’ll just use iCal. ### 1/5 — Unreliable AT ALL *2023-04-15, version 2.4.0* I downloaded the App just one month ago, and entered all details and treatment record of our new puppy, adding reminders for new treatments. The App crashed, won’t open and I lost all records. I am so furious 😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Laylay2345 *2026-07-15* First time ever using this app, but it is so good. I can literally keep track of my dog honey so well it helps me raise her cause she’s just a little puppy so it’s really helping me out. I’ve been able to keep her from having party accidents in in my house for a at least a week now it is so nice and I give it a five star review because that’s how well it is. ### 5/5 — Pretty good 🐾🐶 *2026-07-13, version 4.1.1* It is a good app other than the paying I got this app thinking it would be so good cause I have a dog and I wanna track all their stuff. But when I realized I couldn’t do all this stuff without pain I was pretty sad, but I could still do most things, but I can’t do the good things that I wanted to do. I think they should put the paying prices down. Because it’s like 49.99 every month and who wants to be paying that just for a dog app. but I do recommend it. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-07-11, version 4.1.1* Great for all pet owners. ### 5/5 — grate app nothing wrong with it *2026-06-02, version 4.1.1* it is amazing ### 5/5 — Simple and functional *2026-06-02* Love this app. Partner and I needed something straightforward to keep track of who was doing what with our new dog. Would also work really well if we needed to add a dog sitter or walker. Other apps we tried had bells and whistles that we didn’t need or had the features that let us see the other’s activity locked behind a paywall. There are a few wishlist features that would be a cherry on top for me, such as the ability to multi-add items or start tracking a walk from my Apple Watch, but ultimately this is an excellent app for keeping track of pet care. ### 5/5 — Everything I Want *2026-05-21, version 4.1.1* Been using this app for years! Love that there’s no ads and I can journal my dog’s activity. ### 5/5 — This is a very good app *2026-04-26, version 4.1.1* I’m taking care of 4 dogs and this app is very helpful to remind me when to do take care of them it is also very helpful for other things too I recommend this app for for all dog owners. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, so practical *2026-04-23, version 4.1.1* Been using DogNote for probably over a year now. Started as a way for my partner and I to simply track who took our pup out last. It’s turned into an app I can’t live without! Easy to set-up and easy to add custom events/tags. ### 5/5 — Obsessed! Necessity for multiple caregivers *2026-04-17* i absolutely love this app!!! it’s been a complete game changer for managing my dog’s care, especially since because i work long hours & she has a daily routine, i have multiple walkers and sitters rotating. having one shared place where everyone can see when she last ate, went potty, or had a walk makes everything so smooth. whoever is with her always knows what to expect just by looking at her previous logged events without needing to text or guess, which takes so much stress off of me. i also love the reminder system; being able to set reminders for everyone or only specific people is super helpful, and the fact that each person can choose to turn off notifications on their end is perfect for walkers who don’t need constant alerts. the customization and analytics are another huge plus, i love being able to track patterns and stay on top of her routine. and the fact that you can log events while a walk is still in progress without stopping the timer is such a thoughtful feature! my only wish is that the app supported video uploads, but aside from that, it’s honestly amazing and exactly what i needed. ### 5/5 — Love doggy note *2026-04-10, version 4.1.1* I love doggy note is so helpful to me because I know when too change the water or take him for a walk is so nice guys try it out --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
