### 1/5 — Company no longer exists, app does work

*2025-07-19, version 2.6.8*

Please remove this app. The product and app don’t work. You can’t log in or great a new account.

### 1/5 — Scam!

*2025-07-08, version 2.6.8*

This company no longer services new users. Bought the duo and it’s worthless. You cannot log into the app and the website support page is permanently down.

### 1/5 — Absolutely Terrible Service – Two Years of Trying to Cancel!

*2025-03-13, version 2.6.8*

I cannot express enough how frustrated I am with Findster. For the past TWO YEARS, I’ve been trying to cancel my subscription, and no one has bothered to respond or assist me in any way. The customer service is completely nonexistent. I have reached out multiple times, both via email and through their support system, and I’ve received nothing but silence.

It's honestly baffling that a company can be so careless with their customers. Two years of endless attempts to resolve a simple issue and not even a single acknowledgment from their support team. I’m left paying for a service that doesn’t work, with absolutely no help in sight. If you’re considering using Findster, I strongly advise you to reconsider. You might find yourself stuck in a never-ending loop of frustration, with zero support when you need it the most.

Save yourself the headache and avoid this app at all costs!

### 1/5 — It won’t let me make an account :(

*2024-10-10, version 2.6.8*

can’t even use this, no matter which way I try to sign up it gives an error

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2024-07-23, version 2.6.8*

Can’t register as any email I use says it’s already been registered which is bizarre as it definitely isn’t. Can’t pair, can’t “change password” if it was registered. I just don’t get it. It doesn’t work. End of

### 1/5 — Discontinued

*2024-05-20, version 2.6.8*

I purchased this in 2020, haven’t used much but new cat keeps escaping and went to charge and use product. Unable to sign in. Waste of $300.
This company is now called ‘maven.pet’ so beware if you are considering any of their products. 
Even though it’s a disgraceful company. Can they at least remove their app and delete the website.

### 1/5 — Company no longer in business?

*2024-05-19, version 2.6.8*

I don’t think this company is in business anymore, I can’t seem to register an account.

### 1/5 — Is this even still a business?

*2024-01-05, version 2.6.8*

I been trying to register but it won’t let me as it says my email already exists as a user but that’s not true at all. I thought this would be the most perfect device for my pup and I’m very disappointed to see that this business is no longer. Would’ve been perfect.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2023-09-04, version 2.6.8*

The website no longer works as well as the App. Should have spent more money and gotten a product that I could have used for years. Sent an email and will see if I get a response. If I could give zero stars I would.

### 1/5 — Dead app, product is worthless

*2023-07-19, version 2.6.8*

There is no way to log into the app anymore, which means the products I have a worthless. No way to contact support. Assume the company is dead.
