### 2/5 — Great for only 4 entries

*2026-01-18, version 4.13.3*

It’s great for a few entries and then you have to pay.

### 3/5 — Almost great

*2026-01-17, version 4.13.3*

Apps shouldn’t require you to have subscription to use it. If so worried about money make the app cost money. Not paying 4 bucks a month for something I can add to my alarms.

### 4/5 — Decent

*2025-06-12, version 4.12.0*

Too expensive for what it is but we gave it a shot and drastically reduced the amount of accidents. Smart reminders are great but need to be more dynamic, I can easily set up a timer for free. Hoping for better updates in the future to really make this app really worth it.

### 2/5 — Not working

*2025-02-22, version 4.10.0*

It’s not taking my updates deleted and reinstalled but geeez I have a new puppy to deal with  and can’t deal with a poor app

### 3/5 — Watch app is very glitchy

*2025-02-09*

The app has great features and it helps a lot. The watch app is extremely buggy and leaves a lot to be desired. The watch app is a great idea because you can quickly log events without taking out your phone, but in practice most events logged through my and my wife’s watches do not get recorded. Or you open the watch app and it is extremely out of date and takes more than 15 seconds to become functional (and still will miss logged events). I have contacted the developer on several occasions and they haven’t been able to find the issue. Great potential but the watch app is a bit of a show stopper.

### 5/5 — Perfect until

*2024-11-15*

The app stopped working with this last app update. Just a couple of days ago and the Support page on here just goes to a website to take you to the app download page. So I thought I would mention it as a review. I absolutely love this app but, currently it does not work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, didn’t help. Multiple times. Thanks for any assistance.

### 2/5 — Subscription

*2024-08-25, version 4.4.2*

The entire point of the app is to track events. After five or so events it tries to force you to subscribe. Not every app we use in our daily lives is worth a subscription, and this is definitely one of them. It’s such a basic app and to try and force you to subscribe to use it is outrageous. Maybe make an app worth subscribing to first

### 5/5 — Perfect training tool for a group

*2023-10-28*

This has been a big help for training.  We can see a trend and it is so much easier than trying to keep records on paper to share with one another.  The best part is the customer service.  They are incredible.  After sending an email, I get a very quick response.  I highly recommend this app if you are trying to track your dogs potty, feeding, medicine, schedules.

### 5/5 — Really nice simple tool

*2023-07-05, version 3.9.0*

Nice and simple to serve simple purpose, track your dog's schedule! I love it. It's the best tool in App Store! 

It would be nicer if developer can add API through the Apple Shortcut so I don't need to open the app to log my dog's activity!

### 4/5 — Just what I needed but lacks some features

*2023-04-22*

I love the app very easy to use and track, but lacks some important features. 
Calculate average time between meals and potty to give the user an alarm when the dog might want to go after the last meal/water provided.
Add a button to register if it was an accident or not, and chart this, easier to see how many times and how often he has accidents.

### 5/5 — Great for new puppy parents

*2023-02-20, version 3.6.3*

This app is so extremely simply and so extremely effective. It takes zero time at all to log a potty moment and the automatic reminders are excellent. Having a reliable record of when your pup last went outside is invaluable for housebreaking. Highly highly recommend!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Demands Paid Subscription

*2025-02-26, version 4.10.0*

Could barely add any reminders (3+) or track events like going potty for a a full day without being told I couldn’t add anymore events or do anything without subscribing.

### 1/5 — Incredibly buggy, unusable

*2024-12-17, version 4.8.2*

The interface for entering and event disappears while you are logging an event, rendering this app unusable. If you can’t enter and save an event successfully, this app has no point. So incredibly frustrating, especially for an app with so much potential.

### 1/5 — A subscription for this is insane

*2024-11-03, version 4.5.3*

This app could be made in Claude or ChatGPT in an hour. I will be doing that instead of paying some dumb monthly fee (9.99) after reaching a 5 event limit at 1:00AM.

### 1/5 — Membership

*2024-08-21, version 4.4.2*

You are able to track around 5 events then it asks you to pay for a membership to be able to track any more events. $9.99 just to take note of when my puppy did her thang, wack. Do not recommend this app unless you’re going to use it for one day.

### 1/5 — Not worth the price - waste of time

*2024-02-23, version 4.2.1*

So it’s a simple app to track puppy activity (very limited activities). But for $4.99 a month it really just doesn’t do much. I can track this just as well with an excel spreadsheet (better cause I can include more details). I deleted the app as soon as the pay wall came along (which is super quick so it’s hard to even gauge if it’s worth it - from my extremely limited usage it definitely doesn’t seem to be). I wouldn’t bother downloading this - it’s a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Mère remember the paid subscription

*2023-04-24, version 3.7.4*

App constantly needs to restore subscription. Very annoying.

### 1/5 — 3 day trial

*2023-03-07, version 3.6.3*

All subscriptions come with a 3 day trial but the app would not let me save more than 5 entries so I cancelled and deleted the account.

### 1/5 — Confusing user experience

*2023-02-13*

It is really hard to use, very confusing UI and UX, I found little value to the app and deleted it within 30 minutes

### 1/5 — Nice “free” app

*2023-02-08, version 3.6.2*

Only it’s NOT FREE! what a scam! Download, set up account etc etc start logging info & after less than 5 minutes of use prompted with $4.99 or $12.99 subscription options. In theory it’s a nice platform; but not as described in App Store. There is no way to use the “Free” version. “In app purchases” usually means “optional” NOT purchase or you can’t use it. Garbage & delete app asap!

### 1/5 — Only good if you pay

*2022-11-17, version 3.3.3*

It only lets you log 5 things for free

### 5/5 — Best puppy app!

*2026-07-05*

Pup to date has helped so much with welcoming our puppy into our family of three. We all can stay on the same page by checking the app to see when the last trip outside, walk, feeding or nap had taken place. We especially like how you can add comments as well for customization.

### 5/5 — Love this app! A great training and health aid

*2026-05-09*

I got this app before our Australia Labradoodle puppy came home and I still use it every week. Our Emma is now 6 yrs old. As a puppy we tracked her potty times and what she did. This was a major help in potty training her and knowing when she actually went. So if I leave her home for hours at a time I can make sure she does her business before we leave. I track and know when her flea meds are due (without getting lost in our own personal or family Calendars) We tracked her bed time and now she keeps herself on schedule, at 6:30 she wants Huggies, potty by 7-715pm then she runs into her kennel to get a treat and go to bed. She developed hair folliculitis along her back so I track her baths and back treatments. 

All of these items can and have reminders so I don’t miss a bath or med and I always know what her history is.  

I absolutely LOVE this app and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to all of my friends and family with dog or starting out with a new puppy. 💕💕💕

Ps. It can be used to track any animal or a person and kids.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-03-25, version 4.15.1*

Wish there are better tags and notes system. E.g. potty in place, potty in wrong place, soft/solid etc.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2025-09-29, version 4.13.1*

Now we don’t have to write it all down! We love being able to log everything into the app. Customer service is fast and friendly.

### 5/5 — Great customer support

*2025-09-28, version 4.13.1*

We had an issue where all our data disappear. Colin was so helpful and prompt. We love the app!! 5 stars

### 5/5 — Great tracking tool

*2025-09-18*

This is a great tool for tracking anything related to your puppy. Potty times, meals, naps, medications, baths, etc. if you have a need to track anything related to your puppy, Pup to Date makes it a simple process. They have built in trackers like potty, meals and naps, but you can easily ad your own and customize it to your needs. Works great with iPhone and Apple Watches and is shareable. You will want to upgrade to the paid version to get the best benefit from the app. I never use anything but free apps, but this was well worth it. Still using for our puppy after 4 moths…and plan to continue.

### 5/5 — Very useful app for pup training

*2025-07-21, version 4.12.0*

My partner and I have been using this to track our cockapoo and his habits and we’ve found it incredibly useful - the smart reminders have been very accurate to remind us it’s likely time for another pee or poo! I had a small issue with my subscription and Colin the app designer was very polite and quick to reply to rectify it on his end. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-06-20, version 4.12.0*

If I could give this a hundred stars I would! This has been so helpful with trying to predict my new puppy’s nap & pee schedule. Only $10 a year seems well worth it.

### 5/5 — Resolved: Apple Family Plan Logging Issue

*2025-03-10, version 4.10.0*

Great app, very customizable. In order to share the subscription, you need to be in an iCloud Family with Purchase Sharing enabled. Thanks to the team for their quick response.
