Great app. However I am having trouble adding a new business in my neighborhood and every time I try to do it the app freezes. ### 4/5 — Amazing but can improve *2024-01-13* This concept is so adorable and I love it so much! My only issue is one others pointed out and that is the small amount of shops shown. Like of course not every shop has cats but it seems that some are missing. Besides that no complaints so cute. ### 4/5 — Love the Concept *2023-11-22* Super cute and fun! Only issue is that it won’t let me add a new shop:( I tried to follow the steps but for whatever reason it can’t locate the shop I want to add. ### 4/5 — Cool app *2023-11-16* Love this apps idea, but I wish they had more cats. I like that they have vets, bookstores, and pet stores, but I’d like to see stuff like bodegas and other more random stores added. It’s kinda a given that a pet store is gonna have cats, so not really much point in using the app for that. I hope to see that improved in the future. ### 4/5 — :3 *2023-11-11, version 1.0* I love this app, But it is buggy sometimes! ### 4/5 — Love, But. . . *2023-11-08* Would love to be able to switch between my personal profile and the shop I Manage. . . Now I can only post as the business/shop page and not my personal profile :( . If I had known, I would not have claimed the business! **Developer response:** You can still post with your personal profile! Email me and I can help: david@shopcats.app ### 5/5 — Wish more people would use *2023-11-08* I wish more people would download this app so I can know more cats are ha ha I love it! ### 3/5 — Cute app, but… *2023-11-06, version 1.0* It’s a cute app but I cant add a location! What am I doing wrong? ### 4/5 — Add more *2023-10-23* Lovely app but pretty hard to add more stores I know plenty of stores that have cats but I wish there was a way to just add the locations so more people can see and go ### 3/5 — Please Update Bugs!! *2023-10-20* Pleease update there are bugs! I can’t add a new shop it shows me unreadable error!!! **Developer response:** Hi there, we've fixed this, please try ShopCats again! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cant get past scritches! *2024-07-13, version 1.0* Its annoying because i cant get past the stupid scritches ### 1/5 — App Crash *2024-05-22, version 1.0* App just has white blank screen ### 1/5 — Can’t get past the scritches *2024-02-27* I’ve removed this app & tried it again. It asks me to pick my hand color but I can’t get past this part of the app on my iPhone! Help. My daughter & I want to use this!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2023-10-23* When I open the app, I'm greeted with a white screen. I've tried refreshing it and even redownloading it, but nothing works. Very disappointed, I really wanted to love this app :(( **Developer response:** This issue has been resolved. Sorry to hear you encountered it, it only existed for about 30 minutes so give it another go. ### 1/5 — Network Error :( *2023-08-07, version 1.0* would love to see cats in my area but it looks like the service is down :( please fix ### 2/5 — Fun idea, execution needs help *2023-11-04* I love the idea of finding where all the shop cats are, it doesn’t seem to be a way to adding businesses. Currently in my town one of the shop cats listed is a lion at the zoo. **Developer response:** Hi there, you can add a shop at the same time you share a visit. If you see places that shouldn't be listed (like the zoo), please tap the "suggest de-listing this shop" and I'll review it. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Very bugged *2023-10-30* This sounds like a cool concept but every time I’m typing something the interface disappears and I can’t do anything in the app. They have no option to report bugs and their website has a discord link that doesn’t work. So unfortunately this seems to be the only place I can report the bugs that basically break the app. **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for letting me know about the issues. I've updated the discord link, please try it again! I'll get the typing issue fixed as soon as I can. ### 2/5 — Tap to pet *2023-10-30* When I get to the petting cat screen at the beginning I can’t get out of it. I haven’t been able to even see what’s in the app. There’s no X to get out of it. 🙁 ### 2/5 — Want to love it but buggy *2023-10-20, version 1.0* I am DYING to add more locations but the app freezes every time I try ### 2/5 — Network Error *2023-08-03* I’d love to be able to use the app, but I keep getting an error message that pops up every time I open it. I tried redownloading the app, switching off my wifi, and turning my phone on/off. Has the app been shut down? Would love to change my rating to a 5 star and be able to find shop kitties in my area! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Adorable cats! *2025-06-12* 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. ### 5/5 — Lovely App *2025-02-19* 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! ### 5/5 — Best app *2025-02-03* This is the only social media app I’ll actually use. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Amazing app but needs an upgrade *2024-08-04* It’s an amazing app, with lots of cats to visit but when I try to add my cafe it says it can’t find it. But im not trying to look for it im trying to ADD it, please fix this ### 5/5 — I should have my head examined *2024-07-20* This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen so naturally I’m obsessed. I, somehow, ended up with every neighbourhood cat in my area and I truly do love everything that has come from that. About 15 years ago while laying in the garden with Bendis (my cm. green iguana) I met Mameow. Mameow and Bendis met one another and the rest is history, they developed an oddly adorable and perplexing friendship that’s lasted years. My heart was shattered when Bendis passed away, of old age, in 2020 which left me with Frodo, a very sweet and special stray cat that bonded immediately with Ben. Mameow is still very present though Frodo has since passed as well. But Mameow and her mother Granmeow have multiplied bringing me first, Fric & Frac and their siblings Boote & Callie. Fric & Boote have each had a litter each bringing my current population up to 10 cats with Callieco and her Nan Granmeow due any day now. It will prove hugely irresponsible of me to download and use this app but the way I see it is, the damage is done — may as well have fun. ### 5/5 — Cute Idea! *2024-06-02, version 1.0* Shopcats is a cute little way to see if there are any fluffy friends nearby during your travels. It adds a little bit of brightness to my day if I'm lucky enough to come across one! :) Also, I noticed that some people are saying it's "missing some cats", but that's just because they still need to be posted! I just added a cat today to the app that I saw while out, and they make the process of doing it pretty simple. So don't be shy sharing your stories! ### 5/5 — The animal related app EVER! *2024-01-14, version 1.0* I love cats, and this is my go to app so I can meet new cats! You should download if you love or even like cats! ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2023-12-22, version 1.0* You can even follow the cats. Amazing ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-12-01, version 1.0* Love this idea really cool and smart of the creator ### 5/5 — My happy app *2023-11-19, version 1.0* This app brings me so much joy. I love cats and I love seeing what they are up too. What a clever idea for an app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
