### 3/5 — Scan tag

*2025-12-26*

I can’t even scan the tag once in the app, all it does is open the on the screen as if I’m viewing to take a photo or scan with none of those buttons or options to do anything. Just a clear view through the lens. I checked to make sure I had the latest level etc. I can scan outside the app, just not within.

### 2/5 — Pesimo

*2025-09-12, version 3.0.8*

Nunca pude registrar porque la app al seleccionar la opción, se cierra

### 4/5 — Works good

*2025-07-13, version 3.0.8*

I had to scan the one that said watch video first and then you watch the video and it tells u what to do. I set mine up with overall no issues. I had to scan the tag 2 times before it recognized it but other than that it’s good/easy. Tested it out by scanning the collar tag on my friends phone and as long as they allow location permission (on iPhone) it’ll show you where they are. Also lets you add in favourite foods, your contact info, and medical conditions which is a big plus as my cat has a grade 6 heart murmur. Pretty decent for the price I’d say

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-06-10, version 3.0.8*

Paid extra for this collar for the id scan tag. Cannot register an account. Scammed.

### 1/5 — App

*2025-06-07, version 3.0.8*

Not working

### 1/5 — Won’t send email confirmation

*2025-06-03, version 3.0.8*

Scanned code , downloaded app won’t let me set it up what a waste of money

### 4/5 — Works decent

*2025-05-26*

It’s alright. Don’t think I’ll ever really use it? Just came with the collars I was getting my cats anyway and I wanted to try it out. I didn’t have much issue with registering my pets. Not sure how expensive the collars are elsewhere but I got mine at the dollar store for like 3 bucks- not bad for the price. Works as intended, seemingly

### 1/5 — QR code not scannable

*2025-05-08, version 3.0.8*

QR code is NOT scannable at all using phone camera and thru their app. Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Not working!!!

*2025-04-26, version 3.0.8*

I bought new collars and I also have oldu ones. None of the QR codes are working! Shame on you!

### 1/5 — Breaking bugs

*2025-04-26, version 3.0.8*

QR codes on collars scan poorly on camera and in app. App is locked focus so is very hard to scan and takes a lot of manual work to get the collar into the focus just right so it can be read. Signup section on cats info can’t be passed as the keyboard blocks the last entry field and submit button.

### 1/5 — Tag scanner in app doesn’t work

*2025-04-19, version 3.0.8*

The scanner in the app does not scan the tag. It is blurry and there’s no ability to focus the camera. Please fix this - reading previous reviews this has been an ongoing issue and is not fair to your customers paying for faulty product.

### 4/5 — Ну

*2025-03-20, version 3.0.7*

Поменяйте регион,и все получится,потом в приложении поменяйте язык и код страны у номера телефона и можно обратно поменять регион,у меня все работает отлично,скан отбивается

### 1/5 — Scanner doesn’t work

*2025-03-08, version 3.0.7*

Can’t even add them. Good idea but if the scanner doesn’t work then it’s useless

Not even able to complete the registration - extremely poorly developed app.

### 1/5 — Can’t Scan

*2025-10-18, version 3.0.8*

When I first got the collar, the scanner worked, but now it won’t and says I don’t have my pet registered!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

Can’t even scan the code on the collar. Don’t bother rubbish app

### 1/5 — Max and Molly collar

*2025-07-26*

Well first of all you download the app they never send you the email to load your dogs information on it
I don't work it's like any other ordinary release for $30 net worth it very disappointed I'm returning it

### 1/5 — Not great.

*2025-07-25, version 3.0.8*

Can’t add information because the update/add pet button is under my keyboard because Gotcha’s page does not scroll.  Also my tag does not scan at all.

### 1/5 — Çalışmayan uygulama

### 5/5 — Information

*2026-01-21, version 3.0.8*

You can scroll to write information all you need to do is click at the top like the blank part and write the info

### 5/5 — Essential item for indoor cat owner

*2025-11-01, version 3.0.8*

All you have to do is just scan the collar and register in app then anyone can scan the collar and find your cats profile with your information! They don’t even need the app

### 5/5 — Genial

*2025-09-03, version 3.0.8*

Una aplicación genial. Fácil de instalar y muy clara. Funciona a la perfección.

### 5/5 — I love this

*2025-04-21*

This works with max and molly collars the best and I get emails about every lost pet in my neighborhood and easy info about how to contact the owner. I think the biggest misconception is not having a way to connect your pet to this app properly but if you get one of the collar brands that are partners with this app it’s super easy and extremely helpful

### 5/5 — Needs update for Canadians

*2024-11-30, version 3.0.6*

They need a proper update for Canadians as the date is a day ahead and the time zone is way ahead overall a decent app but need a proper update for Canadians so we can be on proper time with our location, other then that can’t complain if it would get fixed!

### 5/5 — Ginger  McLaren

*2024-11-12, version 3.0.6*

Short hair light ginger color often called Buff

### 5/5 — Customer feedback, bugs are fixed.

*2024-09-04, version 2.1.4*

We purchased two collars and initially found that the app wasn’t working. However, after contacting the owner, they quickly communicated with their developer and resolved the issue immediately. We were impressed with the quick response and attentive customer service. It’s great to know that my furballs are now registered in the app, so if anyone finds them, they can scan the tags to access information about the cats and my contact details. Thank you, Max & Molly, for the prompt response and excellent support and please keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Liking the app so far!

*2024-08-29, version 2.1.4*

So far I can say I found the app and Chloe’s profile to be easy to set up and I like that you can add all kinds of info about them and see if they have been scanned. Haven’t had to use it to locate her yet, and praying I never do, but definitely feel an added sense of peace knowing this tracker and QR code is on her leash.

### 5/5 — App works well

*2024-08-16*

I love the idea of QR codes! The app works just fine to me, no issues at all.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the QR code feature and that the app is running smoothly for you.

### 5/5 — Excellent App with Seamless Registration and Powerful Features - July 27, 2024

*2024-07-28*

I recently registered on the app on 27th July 2024, and I am thoroughly impressed. The registration process was incredibly easy and quick, it took me less than 2 minutes to input both my details and my cat’s details. The app’s functionality is very powerful and intuitive. After registration, I scanned the QR code on my cat’s collar, and the app immediately recognized it. I could see the information in the app’s locator tab right away. This feature is very well-thought-out and executed. I noticed some old negative reviews, but it seems the app has undergone significant improvements since then. I didn’t encounter any bugs on my iPhone Pro Max 14. Overall, I’m very happy with the app and its performance. Great job to the developers!
