Overlooking Petdar which works with Petfinder is perfect because it’s and overview image of all the dogs in your face right there, easy to access. And once I find the dog I like the most, I click the pictures and read about the dog, and it will also take me to Petfinder itself and show me more info and let me submit an application with the agency the dog is at. Interesting and helpful app I luv ### 4/5 — Information *2021-04-09, version 4.8* Just started this app. Noticed that some of the precious dogs do not have enough bio information. If there is a limited story then it could appear that there may be a serious issue and could turn someone off to fill out the application. That would be ok if we would be able to text some questions but we understand why that is not. So more information would help these beautiful creatures from getting passed up in our opinion.☮️ ### 4/5 — Petdar *2020-12-27, version 4.4* Petdar is an amazing app for finding pets to adopt. I adopted two cats using petdar, and I was able to learn about their personalities and I found two perfect cats for me. I would definitely recommend petdar if you are planning on adopting a pet. Petdar also has lots of different pets, not only dogs and cats, but also horses, bunnies, small reptiles, birds, mice, and barnyard pets. ### 5/5 — Great Idea *2020-12-11, version 4.3* I think this is a great idea. I like how you can look at all the dogs. And the information you need, to make a good choice! I am looking forward to adopting a lifetime companion. Maybe even two little ones. I just want to know what the adoption fees are? And to thank you for this. ### 4/5 — Great app, but bug needs fixed.. *2020-11-20, version 4.3* Hello! This is a really great app! I’ve seen so many darling pets for adoption on here! There is just one small problem. Whenever I go to my favorites, it starts loading up hundreds of other pets that I have not favorited. It makes it really annoying and difficult to find the little guys that I’ve hearted. Please fix this bug! Otherwise great app. 🤗 ### 2/5 — Meh *2020-10-22, version 4.3* Same dataset as Petfinder, but fewer search parameters. ### 4/5 — Needs a “good with filter “ *2020-10-03, version 4.3* Needs a good with filter cause I got young kids in the house and a 🐕 too.overall it’s a good app and I like it but it needs a GOOD WITH FILTER ### 2/5 — No search *2020-09-01, version 4.2* You can’t search anything except for the type of animal, no preference on size or age ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2020-09-01, version 4.2* I love this app, works well. I can see dogs in my local shelters, or look at dogs in other location. Hopefully will find my forever dog on this app. LOVE IT!! RECOMMEND!!! ### 5/5 — OMG!! LOVE IT 😍 *2020-07-31, version 4.2* I got this app so I could find a dog for me! I found so many great dogs that I can love and care for ! It works so well and I have a wonderful dog now! It also downloads in like 10 seconds!! I love it! So much more Than petfinder! ### 2/5 — Needs a little work *2020-05-01, version 4.2* This app is somewhat frustrating, it’s very disorganized, new dogs are randomly slotted in without any rhyme or reason, and so it’s hard to search new arrivals. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2020-04-29, version 4.2* Layout is solid and it finds animals. Nags you for reviews, no ability to search for multiple breeds, doesn’t save preferences or last search criteria, no sort options. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Location *2021-01-28, version 4.5* Requires location service but won’t let you just type a ZIP code?? I’m about to move and want to look for dogs elsewhere ### 1/5 — Use petfinder instead *2020-10-31, version 4.3* Two things about this app... 1) it gets its data from petfinder only, so use the petfinder app instead. 2) it doesn’t save your search/filter criteria, so you have to enter your criteria each time you open the app—very annoying. ### 1/5 — Not great *2020-10-04, version 4.3* There doesn’t seem to be a way to filter ### 1/5 — Puppies *2020-06-21, version 4.2* I seen no puppies not a good app. ### 1/5 — 2018? *2020-05-06, version 4.2* Downloaded then deleted in less than a minute. First dog, I saw with possibilities... Listed in 2018! Nope! Lost interest rather quickly. ### 1/5 — Birds *2020-04-29, version 4.2* You want ppl that know birds to adopt but u can’t be outsid Long Island area good luck with that a bird will be missing a loving home because I’m not in your area ### 1/5 — Can’t find a dog *2020-03-29, version 4.1* I have been looking for a dog can’t find one ### 1/5 — App double....different name is all..... *2020-03-16, version 4.1* This app uses petfinder for its results. If you look at petfinders reviews you will wonder why anyone would wanna copy their info... ### 1/5 — Stop demanding a review!! *2019-09-02, version 3.3* Demands a review every time you look at a dog! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. *2019-07-24, version 3.2* Thing only works 25% of the time. The other times you’ll get a message stating it exceeded its searches for the day. What the hell is that? Then it forwards you to petfinder.com anyways. So just download petfinder app and don’t waste your time. If this app actually worked it would be great. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AWESOMEE *2023-06-15, version 4.8* I usually use PetSmart Charities but it isn’t working so I found this and it’s amazing! Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2022-10-13, version 4.8* This is not only a wonderfully practical app for those looking to adopt a pet, but the variety of pets showing as available in the area is a brilliant feature and much appreciated!
