### 3/5 — Can't invite partner to join

*2025-07-04, version 2.0.5*

This app is simple and effective, but my partner has never received the invite email to see/add to the log for our dog. This makes the app somewhat unreliable since I can't always record our dog's actions when I'm not around.

### 4/5 — Love the app

*2025-05-07, version 2.0.5*

I love your UI and how easy it is to add events. Would be super cool if there was also the ability to add notes to an event, and notes for a time. Like an unsuccessful attempt to get the puppy to pee.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2025-04-23, version 2.0.5*

Amazing app, so helpful, especially as syncs over two phones. My only improvement would be adding an option for sleep/nap times.

### 4/5 — Please add

*2025-04-11, version 2.0.5*

i’d really like for you to add a button for outside to track when we take them outside but they don’t do anything

### 4/5 — Good overall, but one issue

*2025-02-28, version 2.0.5*

Great basic app for logging intake and elimination. Love the notifications! 

Only struggle I have is with the scroller thing to select the times. It’s too low on the screen and doesn’t provide enough room for your finger to scroll properly without causing the iPhone Reachability function to kick in.

### 3/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-02-25, version 2.0.5*

It’s very easy to log events, but reading the predictions is not intuitive and is confusing. I’m moving on to another option.

### 4/5 — Simple app that’s too simple

*2024-10-27*

This is a great little app that does all the basics of logging potty activity, but it’s lacking some capabilities that I think would help:

- Logging multiple activities in the same minute. For example, if your pet pees two times in the same minute, it would be nice to log that accurately.
- Support for Apple Shortcuts. I’d like to set up simple Shortcuts to log activities with one touch, or on voice command.

### 4/5 — Good but would love one addition

*2024-02-26, version 2.0.5*

We would love a button for “tried to take out but didn’t go” to keep track of the (many) times this happens

### 4/5 — Great app, needs scheduler

*2023-12-12*

Love this app! My trainer recommended this app and it’s been great. It’s so helpful to have breaks and food tracked in one place. I wish they would add the ability to create a custom schedule. We are trying to create a routine for a puppy so a schedule tool would be helpful. Also wish the selector could be a multi select. If devs expand the app it would be great to add medication application and/or throw up. Would be helpful to track and look for correlations!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2023-09-21*

My husband and I find this app useful to communicate when our puppy has gone to the bathroom and when he has eaten. It’s really nice to not continue to ask each other. 
An improvement I’d like to see is a “tried and didn’t go “ option. It’s nice to know the puppy just went so we aren’t unnecessarily taking him out minutes apart. I’d also like to be able to write in our own action, like medicine given or treats given.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2023-04-17, version 2.0.5*

Very helpful and easy app to use, but wish the developer would please fix/upgrade the following:
-add app for apple watch for easy tracking
-fix share issue with other family members
-sleep or play time
-medications/vaccinations/other activities would be helpful too!

### 5/5 — Super Helpful App

*2023-04-04, version 2.0.5*

Best app we found for tracking and predicting our puppy’s potty habits as we were training him. The predictions were pretty accurate even with only a few days of input which was great. My husband liked the app too - definitely recommend!

### 3/5 — Needs Additional Accident Options

*2023-03-04, version 2.0.5*

Solid, easy to use tracker. Would rate it 5 stars if they added the ability to differentiate between a pee and poo accident. Helps users better identify patterns after feeding or drinking water.

### 4/5 — Good for potty, would love to add other elements

*2023-01-29, version 2.0.5*

Potty stuff is great. Wish it included walks, playtime, crate time. Would be perfect then!

### 4/5 — Very Useful

*2023-01-05, version 2.0.5*

Very useful for tracking and remembering what time your puppy last went out and also good for seeing patterns in toileting. My only wish is that you could choose which type of accident they’ve had, rather than there just being an ‘accident’ button. When you first get a puppy they often have lots of accidents and you can’t always tell what type of accident they had from the record as it’s not specific. Other than that the app is good and I would definitely recommend it. It’s not time consuming to use at all and I’ve now been able to identify when my puppy is most likely to go and how often he needs to go out. A simple and free way of tracking their feed, water and toileting.

### 4/5 — Great app/ need type of accident and export feature

*2022-12-08, version 2.0.5*

Good app for sharing and multiple dogs. Other users previously noted needs the type of accident and a data export feature

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-10-29, version 2.0.5*

Really useful app. Predictions not perfect but puppies aren’t robots and things change. It is good to give you a rough idea and very easy to spot your dogs patterns. Access to the same puppy on multiple devices has improved communication which has resulted in better training. Only thing I’d change is that the sat/sun isn’t taken from previous week

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-12, version 2.0.5*

No notifications despite diligently logging everything

### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me share

*2022-08-15, version 2.0.5*

I can’t share information with anyone. I send invites and the other people receive nothing, idk what’s wrong. Wish I knew.

### 1/5 — Too many glitches

*2022-05-30, version 2.0.5*

Seems  a great idea for an app, but this app is too buggy.  It stopped letting me enter events on the third day.  The “predictive” function really just tells you it thinks your dog will go potty at the exact same time as yesterday.  I hoped it would figure out my dog goes potty every hour and 45 minutes, but no such luck.

### 1/5 — Good Idea, very badly done

*2022-05-10, version 2.0.5*

Dreadful user interface which is counter intuitive. Enter historic result using the 24hr clock but shows in the App as am and pm??? 

Here’s some news for the developers, 04:00 is the following morning, not late at night the day before. 

Could be good but needs a complete overhaul.

### 1/5 — Too basic, no point, didn’t help

*2021-03-16*

This app is little more than a notepad. Why does it promise a “prediction” if the “prediction” is merely a replication of the day you have just logged?!? Disappointing and annoying.

### 1/5 — Needs sound

*2020-12-14, version 2.0.4*

How do I get the app to make a sound on an iPhone so I do not miss alerts? If I could get this working it would be a 5 star app.

### 1/5 — I loved app until data went missing

*2020-07-18, version 2.0.3*

I’ve used this app for 2 months. It’s very helpful especially when you have a small do with a bladder the size of a walnut. My problem is that when I got a new phone and had to re-sign in, all my previous data was gone. No way to contact anyone for support. I’ve looked everywhere. For that issue alone, I would not recommend.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync

*2020-05-25, version 2.0.1*

Doesn’t sync between two different users properly. It only sends an email to the other person asking them to download the app, not share the same puppy log.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2024-02-10, version 2.0.5*

Randomly stopped working after 5 days. All it does is list out previous days of entered data anyway, so the predictive ability is nil. Notifications only worked for one day too. Also needs ability to add more info like sleep. Unfortunate waste of training time for my pup and bummed because it came highly recommended. :(

### 2/5 — So Much Potential!

*2023-02-02, version 2.0.5*

I live how simple and intuitive this is. SO easy for potty training. BUT THE LINKING DOESNT WORK! The most important part of this for our household is to share info between puppy parents. But the sharing isn’t working 😢

### 5/5 — Simple and good

*2025-08-03*

Our elderly Chihuahua started to have some “accidents“. This often occurred because my wife and I were never sure who had taken her out last and when. Discount automated that process. It’s extremely simple to use. Our puppy gave the app a five star rating and ask me to let you guys know! She’s more comfortable in her than no more incidents. It’s also free if you have one dog.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-20, version 2.0.5*

Really meets our needs.  Simple and easy to use makes it better than others.  I do wish it also let you log kennel in time, kennel out  time and medicine.  Not in a lot of detail.  Keep it very simple.  Would highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Love the app generated notifications that puppy needs to go out

*2024-10-24, version 2.0.5*

With a few days of data the app is right most of the time.  It will tell us that our pup needs to go out and even warn us that an accident is likely.  We’ve learned it’s best to listen to the app.  It is helping train us and our puppy.  

Just wish it was available for Android!

### 5/5 — Simple. Easy. Love it. Bow wow!

*2024-10-18, version 2.0.5*

I love the simplicity of this app. I can input the essentials for my new pup and not make it the Magna Carta on her. 
It suits the way my visual mind works stellarly. I love it and am so glad I found it. Every other app was just waaay too much. Try it, you’ll like it.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-10-14, version 2.0.5*

Thanks to the developers who kept this free without any ads. I realized that there aren’t new updates anymore but this basic app helps in track the puppy schedule. I wish it has features like play,crate and sleep tracking.

### 5/5 — Simple & Easy

*2024-08-29, version 2.0.5*

App is terrific for what it is—a simple, quick, and easy to use tracker. Fantastic that all members of household/canine caregiving team can easily use and share info. Plan to use it with new puppy (@ 2 months old) as well as current family pet (11 years old).

### 5/5 — this app saved me

*2024-06-01, version 2.0.5*

didn't have to waste time going through a long tutorial and setting it all up. i just downloaded it, logged for a few days, and it works. my puppy has outgrown the app now, but i can't recommend it enough for other puppy owners

### 5/5 — Amazing and useful!!!

*2024-05-21, version 2.0.5*

Was surprisingly accurate with the predictions and I still use the app even after my pup finished potty training. Highly highly recommend!!!!!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2024-02-04, version 2.0.5*

I needed to used this app for only about three weeks! It felt like we were taking one step forward and two steps back. They I found this app and things immediately improved. I consider our dog house trained now!

### 5/5 — A big help with potty training

*2024-01-20, version 2.0.5*

We had been struggling with potty training our puppy and this app was a big help. It took about a weeks worth  of data  entry before the reminders became really accurate. But now after a week it seems to be right on and two days in a row now with no accidents - doesn’t sound like much but it feels huge .
