Adorable cats!

Excellent app, such sweet kitties! It’s a joy to see all of these baby kitties getting attention and love. My next road trip will include shop cats destinations along my route.

Lovely App

I wish that there was a way to send bug reports. Otherwise it is nice with a cute UI, and I don’t mind what bugs there are because they don’t break the experience and the app is still clearly being developed and improved… and of course it brings me joy to meet the cats near me!

Best app

This is the only social media app I’ll actually use. 10/10

cute app but buggy

i like this app a lot. i think the whole idea is neat. i love being able to know where i can find cats near me and just seeing people post about cats.

it is a bit buggy though. one thing that i noticed is that you can not add a place to shopcats through the “share a visit.” it gives you the option, but when you try to, it just stays blank/unresponsive. i figured out the only way to do it is by going to the “claim a shop” and adding the place there and choosing the option that says you will come back after they ask if you are the owner/have permission to claim the shop. i think most people would not think to do that and would just assume the sharing feature is broken. this would lead to missed chances for shops to be recorded on the app.

also, when i update the caption/bio to an already made post of mine, the screen instantly goes dark and the app is unresponsive. i will have to swipe the app out and click it again for it to work.

there have been a couple of times where the app just randomly freezes too.
