### 5/5 — Amazing team behind this app

*2022-09-03, version 2.4.4*

I am not a fan of social media and don’t have any, except for this app. I downloaded Purrch when I recently adopted my first cat over the summer and thought it could be handy for just tips and help from other cat parents. It has been very helpful! Mostly, the people who’ve created this app are just wonderful. They care about the right things, not about the app and popularity. But just about helping pet parents feel comfortable, knowledgeable and happy with their little ones at home. AND about making the app easier to use and more user friendly. They’ve individually fixed issues I’ve had 1:1 and emailed me directly. They care. And the community of people using the app are a whole other perk. Wonderful various pet owners all with helpful insights and positive reinforcement for others navigating the trials and tribulations of pet ownership. Everyone on it, everyone, has been so friendly and kind, when social media so often isn’t. They’ve even got knowledgeable partnerships with teams of people that can help owners with actual problems too. I most importantly know they listen to me, and I feel heard. Users of most apps can’t say that.

**Developer response:** Dear jakcifnenz - We can't thank you enough for taking time to write such a positive review.  We are thrilled you are enjoying the purrch app but most importantly that you feel heard. Thank you for all of your valuable feedback. The opportunity to get to know you personally has been incredibly rewarding and has helped us more than you know. We want every person in our purrch community to feel this same sense of belonging and acceptance. Thank you for your trust and support. Fondly, the purrch team.
