Great App!

Just used it after a tick bit me. Well designed app, very fast and efficient, including a detailed response via email

Good Turnaround Time

You get a confirmation right away after posting a picture of the tick and they get back to you quickly with identification and info about the type of tick. They also have resources of what to do. It’s comforting having the app handy. My dog has had 2 ticks this year. Luckily neither had attached to him. I guess because of the flea/tick meds

Excellent service et rapide!

So grateful!

I was able upload a picture and quickly got an answer on type / risk. Thank you!

App intéressante mais...

... mais a besoin de polissage.

Par exemple , les filtres ne fonctionnent pas bien. Pour la province, ca semble marcher... mais pas moyen de rentrer la ville, le filtre se reset apres application. Les filtres de dates ne fonctionnent pas non plus. La map est un peu chargée par defaut. faudrait simplifier le niveau de détails...
Sinon, pour le reste c'est intéressant, mais je vais y revenir, je viens tout juste de l'installer.
