FEATURES

GPS TRACKING 
On vacation? Friend walking the dog? Instantly track your dog's location no matter where they are. Fi gives you the confidence to know they're safe from anywhere, anytime.

STOP ESCAPE ARTISTS
Designate safe zones around your home or dog's favorite places. If they leave without a trusted person, we'll alert you immediately. So if they wander anywhere, you'll be the first to know.

ACTIVITY MONITORING
Track your dog's step count daily and start streaks by achieving custom goals you set. Then see how they compare with similar dogs in the Fi community. Every step goes a long way toward keeping them happy and healthy.

AI BEHAVIOR INSIGHTS
Fi Series 3+ tracks more than just steps. Spot trends in activity, rest, scratching, licking, drinking, eating, and barking so you can stay in tune with your dog's health and habits, every day.

LOST DOG MODE
Never lose track again. If your dog goes missing, activate Lost Dog Mode to turn on rapidly refreshing live location updates until they're found.

BATTERY LIFE
With best-in-class battery, our collars lasts up to 3 months on a single charge. No other collar even comes close.

SUPPORT
Need help? We're here for you and your dog. Our support team is just a chat or phone call away when you need.

APPLE WATCH INTEGRATION
With our all new Series 3+, you can view your dog's location and activity directly on your wrist, so you're always connected, even without your phone.

OUR COLLAR
Available in 4 different colors and 5 different sizes to fit dogs of all sizes.

Fi works best when connected near a Bluetooth connected device with the Fi App or the provided charging base. The latest iOS version is required to run Fi. Learn more about what we're building at: www.tryfi.com.

### 1/5 — Location always on required

*2026-08-25, version 3.139.0*

The app is completely nonfunctional unless you allow them to always see your location no matter what even when the app is closed. That is idiotic there is no reason they need that other than spying on you.

### 2/5 — Collar Great - App Is Spyware

*2026-08-25, version 3.139.0*

The collar appears great.  Lots of potential.  If what you want is a Fitbit for your pet, this is it.  

BAD - This app gives off vibe as data collection company and they are using this collar to do that.

The app wants ALL of YOUR data, not just the collar.

It won’t let you set up unless you give it your location data and your movement data.  It literally won’t allow you to continue unless you check the boxes to give it that access.  

Then when it has background app refresh on it sends you notifications that I closed and to reopen it and leave it going in the background.

It wants your Bluetooth turned on full time even though the collar has WiFi and LTE, and offers to scan my area for more devices.

I want a collar that does what they say it does.  Nowhere would I have thought it relevant to the collar functionality requiring my personal phone data.

### 1/5 — Fi is a Scam

*2026-08-24, version 3.139.0*

I bought three of these and wish I could return. They are useless unless you are willing to give up your personal data that has nothing to do with your dog. I would like to know if my dog leaves the perimeter I set but the app locks if you don’t turn on your PHONE’s location tracking etc.

### 5/5 — Success

*2026-08-23, version 3.139.0*

This review was originally not great, but the team has done a wonderful job of changing my mind.

### 2/5 — Ads & Unworking features detract

*2026-08-23, version 3.139.0*

Expect daily marketing notifications and pointless “streak” notifications if you ever want to know when your dog leaves a safe zone. These cannot be turned off. 

The app must fully connect to the internet to pull up the GPS map. If you don’t have internet where you are you will not find your dog. Maybe someone with access at a different location could track the dog, but that’s yet to be tested. 

The walk tracker consistently stops tracking halfway through your walk, so it’s always wrong. The health monitoring would be fine if I didn’t observe myself how wrong a lot of it is. Maybe if they ditched BS we could have a better functioning app.

### 4/5 — Great ask with one bit of feedback

*2026-08-22, version 3.139.0*

This is a great app. It has given me so much reassurance that I can find my dog if he ever gets lost. He's not a runner, but he does tend to wander, especially when we are in the woods or at our cabin. 

My one bit of feedback to the product owner or act developer is that the notifications can be quite annoying.  If I am walking my dog, I don’t need four or five notifications to let me know where he is because he is at the end of the leash, likely sniffing or trying to roll in something.  Unnecessary notifications make it much more likely we’ll pay attention to the necessary.

### 5/5 — Peace of mind

*2026-08-22, version 3.139.0*

I love my fi! When I’m at work I can track her movements and it gives me peace of mind she’s happy and playing

### 1/5 — Would never buy again

*2026-08-21, version 3.139.0*

App now requires me to share MY phone location always and won’t work if using only during app use. There is no reason for that. I want to track my dog not the company to track me

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-18, version 3.138.1*

Only tracks within Bluetooth/wifi range. Will not track a dog that leaves the yard in a rural area. We’ve had nothing but problems in lost dog mode. We’ve had these collars for more than a year, and tried to live track hundreds of times. It has not worked once.

### 1/5 — Stopped Being Reliable

*2026-08-18, version 3.138.1*

When we first got Fi it was pretty reliable. At a certain point the dog tracking became completely unreliable to the point of not working at all. 

During that period they changed the app to no longer easily show a link to open your map app (Apple/Google) to allow you to navigate to your dog. That’s assuming the tracking actually works. 

I almost question if the development and support of the tech slipped so they could focus on silly social media sharing of your dogs pictures, steps, rankings, etc. 

Or, they possibly hobbled their old versions to force users to upgrade to their new starlink version. 

I contacted their support with some valid questions and their support team has zero idea about the product and app. They are likely offshore support that don’t use Fi or even have dogs. Zero follow up from my original support requests.
