### 1/5 — App does not connect to collar

*2026-04-21, version 3.0.6*

I had to reinstall this app and now the collar won’t connect.  Now I have a blinking collar. What happened?

### 1/5 — Uhh

*2026-03-20, version 3.0.6*

Could never get it to connect to the device. On Android, it works nice tho

### 1/5 — Collar will not pair with the app

*2026-03-10, version 3.0.6*

The collar will not pair with my phone. I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled the app but it won’t work. Customer service is very slow and offers no help to remedy the issue. Do not buy from this company.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2026-01-01, version 3.0.6*

Does not work with iPhone 17.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect collars in new iOS

*2025-12-24, version 3.0.6*

Trying to pair the collar on my iPhone 17 and the connect button doesn’t function anymore

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 17

*2025-11-01, version 3.0.6*

I got a new phone and now the collars won’t work anymore. I have read other reviews on here that say it doesn’t work on their iPhone 17 either. 

To developer:
Please fix and let us know when this issue is resolved. I would be happy to update my review once it works again. The collars are totally un usable for me now.

### 1/5 — iPhone 17 not supported!

*2025-10-06, version 3.0.6*

I've used the collar with my iPhone 15 Pro for a while. It's not a perfect product, it requires you reconnect all the time, but can work with multiple phones.

However it does NOT work for iPhone 17 and 17 Pro. I could not get it to connect on the iPhone 17 Pro, even after reinstalling the app, but it still connects to the iPhone 15 Pro.

It's not an issue with the collar, and as an IT professional, I troubleshot it far above and beyond reason.

Do NOT get this product until they fix it for iPhone 17!

### 1/5 — Bluetooth will not connect

*2024-11-08, version 3.0.6*

I’ve purchased one of these collars in the past and had no issues with it but with my recent purchase of another collar, this one will not connect to my phone.

### 1/5 — Bad collar not bad dog

*2024-09-15, version 3.0.6*

Oh my -where to begin ?  Just read the reviews and believe them. It’s that bad

### 2/5 — Watch app

*2024-07-06, version 3.0.6*

I’ve had this collar for a week now. I’ve notice the “auto bark” portion of the collar doesn’t work fully. My dog has barked several times for extended periods each time and not once had the collar “auto detected” the bark and gone off appropriately.

Additionally, since I had first received the collar and downloaded the application, the Apple
Watch has never worked. I’ve followed the listed instructions for allowing the watch app the function properly (listed through the phone app) but still will never work for me and I don’t know why. Very disappointing that it’s advertised as a feature but has and won’t work. 

I would try and reach onto go someone but there is not advertised contact info for doing so.
