### 4/5 — So far so good with minor inconveniences

*2026-03-23*

Some of the fields do not show a cursor makes it difficult to know where you are typing into. Category seemed unclear so I just put Dog. A drop down or a hint would be great. When trying to start up on iPad or Mac after starting with iPhone, it forces you to reenter pet. Would be better if you allow an option to restore from backup. It does help to have iCloud Backup/Restore but couldn’t find iCloud sync. Just started using this so hopefully this is my go to app for life.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2025-10-06, version 4.0*

I’m still learning the app.  Some nice features but the ads are annoying

### 4/5 — It would be nice

*2025-08-23, version 4.0*

If the app auto filled previous used entries

### 3/5 — Good but frustrating

*2025-07-25, version 4.0*

I would be so happy to pay a one-time price for ad free access to this app, but I’m so tired of subscription services on everything these days.

### 3/5 — Nicht Optimal

*2024-12-29*

Die Eintragungen müssten optimiert werden. Die Medikation, Dosierung der Einnahmen sind mengenmäßig nur schwerlich eintragbar. 
Kontakte sollten optimiert werden, so das darüber direkte Kommunikation möglich ist.

### 5/5 — Muito bom!

*2024-11-19*

Nada a reclamar!

### 5/5 — Оценка

*2024-11-04*

Очень классное приложение мне очень понравилось у меня есть два щенка и не забыть про все очень сложно, поэтому это приложение самое удобно из более чем 20 вариантов

### 5/5 — Simple and useful

*2024-07-18*

This is a great app because it does exactly what I need it for    I needed to monitor some complex needs of my dog and having a log of her meds was really helpful. Also impressed my vet! Several medications are not daily so being able to track what the names are and when was crucial.

### 4/5 — Additional features please

*2024-07-14*

The apps are overall good. However, nowadays people are much into social media and much of the media are videos short clip. We would appreciate if the developer can include the videos or short clip to be uploaded too and not only pictures.

### 2/5 — Überfrachtetes Design, Übersetzung fehlerhaft

*2024-07-07*

Nicht mein Ding

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-07-03*

Klasse

### 5/5 — Great l’il app - very consistent!

*2024-06-27, version 2.2.1*

We’ve been using this app for the past 4 years ever since we got our dog. I’ve loved how simple yet reliable it is for keeping track of our dog’s records! We use it every week to track her weight even now, and also when her heat cycles are. Whenever someone asks what their dog is supposed to weight at X weeks/months, I always happily share I have the exact records!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-06-23, version 2.2.1*

I can add so many pets, keep everything documented, I love it

### 5/5 — Perfect for tracking weight for multiple pets

*2024-06-05*

There are ads but they’re not intrusive to the use of the app. I’ve used the free version for multiple pets with good results.

### 5/5 — Harrison review

*2024-05-31, version 2.2.1*

It’s a really cool app it keeps track of my cats age and all of the things I need to know

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2024-03-19*

I highly recommend this app! It’s easy to use and keep track of everything. I especially like that you can take photos of vet paper work and upload it, so you don’t have to keep any non-crucial copies. And then everything is in one place!

### 4/5 — Really helps me with my disabled cat

*2024-02-07, version 2.2.1*

With five cats it is already hard to know who did what, or when. Who has an appointment? I find this especially best to keep medical tabs on my disabled cat who is a giant medical mystery, so we can easily find patterns for her with the diaries. It helps me keep track of frequencies of things on a busy day that i would later forget. 

Been using this for 7 years.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Great for tracking weight

*2024-12-02, version 3.0*

Good app. Nice that it doesn’t steal all of your data too, like a lot of apps these days. Thumbs up!

Update: deleted app after 2 years of use. App has a new data consent form but not all options can be rejected. Shares data with 3rd parties now. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Uso de aplicacion

*2024-08-21, version 3.0*

No jace los recordatorios de las mascotas solo del que esta en uso

### 1/5 — New Will see how it goes.

*2024-02-07, version 2.2.1*

So far ads are annoying but they give you 48 hours ad free for a review. I’m looking for a app that won’t crash to keep track of my babies. So if it is as super and better than Fido then I’ll give it 5 stars and will have everything I need.

### 1/5 — The worst app I’ve ever downloaded.

*2022-12-30, version 2.1*

Be aware when you download this app, don’t click on the START green button because it will take to a different page and I thought they needed to verify my email for free as they said but apparently it was an add which they charged me $39.99 US misleading and dodgy. Scammers.

### 1/5 — Can’t purchase pro version or get help

*2022-05-06, version 2.1*

Wont let me purchase the IAP. I HATE ADS! Deleting!

### 1/5 — meh. too simple

*2022-02-06, version 2.1*

meh. too simple

### 1/5 — Can’t edit entry

*2021-08-20, version 2.1*

Can’t edit original pet description so if you discover that you’ve made a mistake you have to delete your pet's entry and start again! How ridiculous is that? Complete crap!

### 1/5 — List all info

*2021-04-09*

Added all my pets information and it’s all gone.

### 1/5 — Monthly medication

*2020-10-01, version 1.0.3*

How do you enter a monthly medication like Trifexis?

### 1/5 — Needs Cloud access

*2018-01-22, version 1.0.3*

I need to run this on both iPad and iPhone but apparently the only way to sync data is through Drop Box.  Problem: accessing Drop Box on the iPhone crashes the app.

### 5/5 — Супер

*2025-12-25*

Спасибо за чудесное и простое приложение!!

### 5/5 — Best Pet Tracking App

*2025-09-04*

I have multiple pets and have found this app to be amazingly useful in organizing all their records and helping me keep track of things like medical issues, weight, vet appointments, etc.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-07-13, version 4.0*

This app has been so helpful and a very useful tool. I track all my dogs on there and it is awesome very easy to use.

### 5/5 — 5 stars Every time I try to write a review it is deleted as I post it

*2025-07-04*

I just spent close to 90 minutes writing a detailed review and Apple deleted it as I tried to post it. My vets love my use of this app. My vet specialists love my use of this app. My vet ER docs really love my use of this app. Hey, Apple? You going to delete this too? Guess I’m about to find out. Sorry if it posts and I can’t give you a detailed review.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-06-06*

Uso o app todos os dias… tenho 3 cachorros, cada um com uma particularidade médica… todos são medicados diariamente. O app me auxilia muito! Além do histórico médico todo registrado, tem os lembretes nos horários certos … o diário, e ainda consigo exportar. 
Ou seja… excelente 

Melhor que isso só se o app nos enviasse WhatsApp lembrando de algo… de acordo com nossas configurações. 

Mas da forma que está me atende perfeitamente.

Obrigada

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-05-30*

I love tracking all the details of my pets. Especially the diary. It helps me to keep track of when I last fed my snakes so I can keep them on a schedule. I love the medication section too so I can track my monthly flea/tuck meds for my dogs and cats too. I even use it to track my kids, doctors visits, meds, silly things they say, etc. I used to use the TotalBaby all for them, but it was canceled or something. I can’t get to all my notes of my kids. Very depressing. I hope that doesn’t happen with this app. Thanks!!!

Great app, easy to use and track my bunnies.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

This app is easy to use for tracking everything about our dog’s medical history

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-01-17, version 3.0*

Love having one place to put all the important info about my fur babies!
