Still scratching and licking himself a lot. Very picky about his food. Doesn’t like the food you gave me. ### 2/5 — Out of date *2026-03-10, version 14.0* App has some helpful information. A lot of the links to outside sources are broken and no longer function. Looks like the app is withering on the vine…. ### 1/5 — You can’t add extra pets or update info *2025-11-12, version 14.0* Going elsewhere, not interactive enough ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-06-22, version 14.0* Consistently wrong organization shown. Never confirmation about if anyone ever reads the info given. Can’t even use the app with this foster because it keeps saying I’m fostering with a different rescue. Ridiculous questions. ### 5/5 — Two cats *2024-01-23, version 14.0* Both cats are doing great. They no longer hide from everyone, but come out to greet them. They are still wary of a strangers touch, but are getting better. ### 5/5 — Pretty cool *2023-07-13, version 14.0* This is a neat concept for new pet owners to be able to identify Im weather or not their pet is settling in just fine or not. It allows you to maintain records and also gives adobes on proper care for your new pet. ### 1/5 — It’s a scam! Do not buy! *2023-05-28, version 14.0* Do not buy. Was told to get this when I adopted my dog from the aspca and when I went to use it, the app does not load. It’s been a year and I still get the same message saying it will be back online soon. ### 4/5 — It’s a helpful app but I’m not one to fill out surveys. *2023-05-02* This app is great and allows you to ask questions and get advice for whatever help that is needed regarding your pet. It’s also a nice way of tracking your pets previous history, but I do find it somewhat inconvenient as you cannot update the information on the pet profile that to get from the adoption agency like for example you can’t update your rabies tag number or any distinguishing marks they may have or coat patterns. The app is helpful because I can always have a place to keep track of his weight and his vaccines in one place. The only downside of this app is that they ask you to do a survey every month, and not to mention when I first adopted my pet it was sending me surveys every week. it’s great if the survey does apply to you and your pet and you do need further assistance with their behaviour or any medical emergency, but if you’re not one to fill out information monthly or weekly this app might not be for you. Let me add: you’re not required to fill out the survey but if the survey is not completed the notification does not go away. ### 3/5 — Cool, but wish there was more to it? *2023-03-26, version 14.0* This is cool for the first two weeks after you get a dog or cat. I haven’t gotten a single survey or anything since the two week mark. I also can’t share pictures like the shelter advertised. Cool to keep track of weight and vaccines though? ### 1/5 — Spy app, sells personal information *2022-12-21, version 14.0* This is a spy app, the sell your personal data and log intrusive amounts of information from your device to sell to third parties and pretend to be a helpful tool for your pets but really they’re theives ## Frequently asked questions about Maddie's Pet Assistant ### What does Maddie's Pet Assistant do?
