### 3/5 — App intéressante mais...

*2024-10-14, version 1.3.4*

... 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.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-05-19, version 1.2.9*

C’est rassurant d’avoir une application comme ça… un gros merci

### 5/5 — 2 day turnaround for tick verification

*2022-08-26*

helped me and my family a number of times and eased our anxiety when we find a tick (or one that turns out not to be a tick). The 2 business day turnaround for letting users know whether it was a tick or not is the killer feature. The map of crowd sourced ticks is very helpful too. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-06-14, version 1.2.8*

I am most grateful to have had this app/service available to identify a tick removed from my son recently. Identification was quick and definitive and guided our treatment of the bite. I’m also impressed that this is a free service.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2022-05-31, version 1.2.7*

I’m so grateful for this app. My yard backs on to a provincial park and frequently have wildlife including deer nearby. We also have a dog so I’m grateful that I can get a quick identification of ticks found in house and on our dog. Thanks for the good work!!! Lyme disease and other diseases from ticks are no joke.

### 2/5 — Was useful….. but not anymore

*2022-05-27, version 1.2.7*

I installed this when it first came out and found it useful. I didn’t want to provide any personal info so I used the “guest” option which permitted me to see where the ticks were in my area. This spring when I opened it I found I could no longer use guest (button is there but doesn’t work)…. I must open an account or provide my Facebook password. Uh….. no…. Decided to uninstall instead.

UPDATE May 27/2022
Developer replied saying the app issue had been resolved.    Reinstalled the app and tried again.    No change, still not working using “guest” option.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2022-05-25, version 1.2.7*

This is a must-have app for people who enjoy hiking or dog owners who walk in the woods a lot. But the icon definitely some improvements.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-05-25, version 1.2.7*

Due to Covid, my local public health directed me to your wonderful app. My daughter was bitten by a tick and I noticed it on her. She was very panicked and needless to say, we were much relieved to know that it was not a deer tick. Thank you for your wonderful service you really put a child and parents mind at ease! Super fast service!

### 4/5 — People fantastic, app a little glitchy

*2022-05-12, version 1.2.7*

After removing a burrowed tick I wanted to know if it was a species that could be a carrier of diseases I should be aware of. The app would redirect me to the website instead of submitting through the app but I got an email back pretty quickly with lots of great information. They were fantastic to deal with. I highly recommend using their services, the app needs some work but it’s something easily worked around.

### 5/5 — A great user-friendly App

*2022-05-12, version 1.2.7*

Used this site recently on my iPad after moving from Ontario to B.C. . It took the worry out of picking up a tick on my neck while doing some wild flower photography , after straying into some grassy brush and not heading the warning to stay on the established path. The App worked like a dream . It has a video on how to take the photo for identification , and this time I followed the instructions . I received an identification and helpful info in just a few hours and luckily my tick was not able to carry Lymes disease which was my prime concern. Thanks developers ! Well done you.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2022-03-28, version 1.2.5*

Just downloaded this app this morning to report a tick found in my home. I received a quick response  via email regarding species and risks based on my picture submitted with a lot of really great information. Stoked to have this app available in such a tick prominent area. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2021-12-23, version 1.2.3*

Great convenience easy to use and fast reply.

### 5/5 — Great app and service

*2021-07-16, version 1.2.2*

It was a very easy process from start to finish. The app allowed me to upload pictures and I received a reply in less than 12 hours!!

### 5/5 — Quick response!

*2021-07-15, version 1.2.2*

Very impressed with how quickly we got our response after submitting the photo. Turned out what we had was not a tick (could have fooled me!) but they replied not even 15 minutes later, and put our son at ease! Definitely recommend the photo submission!

### 5/5 — ETick App

*2021-07-14, version 1.2.2*

So happy with this app, very easy to use. Easy to take and submit a picture! I received a reply by the next day. I was pleasantly surprised to get responses to my questions! Such a good resource ! Especially for ppl with pets and children!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2021-07-05, version 1.2.2*

Very prompt (within 12 hours) response with lots of useful information - thank you eTick.ca team!

### 5/5 — Excellent service to have

*2021-06-17, version 1.2.2*

We use this service anytime we find a tick, so far three this year. They’re fast to respond and it’s helpful to know what species we’re encountering and important information about the species. Great service, thank you!

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2023-03-27, version 1.2.9*

Couldn’t get signed in properly the first time.

### 1/5 — Great concept but…

*2021-10-15, version 1.2.3*

Seems like a good idea but the camera/photo feature does not work. I’ve been trying for days to get it to work but once you get to that section it’s just thinking and thinking and nothing loads. Super frustrating.

### 1/5 — Update

*2021-09-18, version 1.2.2*

I ended up finally getting it to let me on. It’s been 3 days now and no response.

### 1/5 — Needs a LOT of work

*2021-06-13, version 1.2.2*

The “learn to identify a tick” section is just how to tell the difference between a tick and a spider.
When I try to sort by location, it lists sightings EVERYWHERE. RANDOMLY. Not sorted nearest to farthest, or even alphabetically. It’s a “pick-up-sticks” of sightings from all over the province.
Unable to zoom in on images. A tiny image 1/20th the size of my screen, which contains what appears to be a dark speck, maybe having legs, maybe a piece of fluff. Unable to zoom in to view what it really is.

### 1/5 — Can’t create an account

*2021-06-09, version 1.2.2*

Way too difficult to create an account. The app seems like a good idea, but I’ve used 2 different emails, tried logging in with google, and Facebook and just tells me error every time I try to log in. I can’t try to create a new account because my emails are “already registered with an account”, yet it won’t let me log in due to “error”. Would love to use the features of the app if possible

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-06-09, version 1.2.2*

I could not sign up. Tried multiple times in various ways. Waste of time. Deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Error 1

*2021-06-09, version 1.2.2*

Submitted a pic, answered the questions, and got error 1! Ugh, so frustrating.

### 1/5 — Ecrap!

*2021-06-08, version 1.2.2*

The app tries to log you in with one of your social media accounts which you should never do especially on a shoddy developed app like this one. I tried to sign up with my email address and the app will not let you choose a province so you cannot finish registration for your account. Not well polished at all cannot recommend.

### 1/5 — Did not work.

*2021-06-06, version 1.2.2*

So many questions just to ID a tick and just got an error message so ID was not even successful. Could have been useful but was not. Alert message error 1.

### 1/5 — Ticks are everywhere

*2021-05-02, version 1.2.2*

Ticks are basically everywhere. Always be smart and check yourself. Really don’t need and app to tell me this or set false security.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-05-21, version 1.3.5*

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

### 5/5 — Good Turnaround Time

*2025-10-24, version 1.3.5*

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

### 5/5 — A+

*2025-10-21, version 1.3.5*

Excellent service et rapide!

### 5/5 — So grateful!

*2025-07-25, version 1.3.5*

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

### 5/5 — Excellent response

*2024-06-12, version 1.3.2*

I submitted pics & information on a tick bite & within 24 hrs had a thorough response. It was very reassuring!

### 5/5 — Great customer service

*2024-06-07, version 1.3.2*

I submitted a couple of photos for identification and received an answer shortly after! 
Would recommend this app for sure.
Thanks

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-05-28, version 1.3.2*

This app is super helpful for getting ticks ID’d. I submitted photos and had an ID back within hours. Great client service!

### 5/5 — Love this e-Tick app!!

*2024-04-26, version 1.3.2*

This is an amazing, easy and practical app!! Very easy to get type of tick diagnosed when you find it on yourself or your Pet! Knowledgable and helpful staff! Year-round program! I live in a tick area and I’m using it often. Very very thankful for this app and the dedicated program scientists!!!

### 5/5 — Great Simple App

*2023-05-31, version 1.3.0*

Easy to use.  Simply take a picture of the tic and you get an message soon after with an identification. 

It’s really helpful to put your mind at ease especially if you don’t come across a lot of tics day to day. 

They also have helpful information about potential diseases 

Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Useful and quick

*2023-05-24, version 1.2.9*

Tick identification turnaround time was a couple of hours. Plus the data help public health folks monitor where ticks are. Great stuff!!
