It just sends you to open the app. This was after the app wouldn’t accept the password I set so haven’t actually had access to the app yet! Argh! ### 5/5 — LIFE SAVER ♥️ *2026-01-06* I have been using this app for a few years now, and I love it so much! It's literally helped me out more than I ever imagined it could. I'm so so sad that after today I will not be able to use it anymore for the 24/7 chat. I pray and hope that it doesn't stay like that, and reverts back to the original way it was. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do without it. It's given me and my Evee girl so much help and ease to our minds. I will miss it so much. 😭 ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-21, version 2.17.1* Payed for the subscription but it still says my password or email is wrong ### 5/5 — Saved Me Hundreds! *2025-10-18, version 2.17.1* I had downloaded this app a couple of weeks ago to keep my 4 cats records & progress together, so I had filled in the details I wanted. My Bengal has a special place in my heart & seeing that he was having trouble urinating, I was very concerned. Last time this happened, it cost £900, so I was stressed out. I couldn’t lose him. I was messaging with a vet within a minute & the conversation lasted about 20mins, I wasn’t rushed, he just made sure that we understood each other. I had some medication left over that I was able to use, as it was out of hours for my own vet & was guided to order a urine test online, saving me the cost at my vet, along with out of hours call out. After our chat, I was emailed a full breakdown of what we discussed, what was recommended, and follow up, along with the reassurance that I needed. This chat saved me hundreds, and as for my own vet using Pets App, it’s “3 days” later and I still haven’t had a reply. The best £4.99 I ever spent! But money can’t buy the comfort we get from our animals, we owe them the best we can give them, & I know my boy got the very best from these guys. Thank you very much, you have no idea how much Nic-Nak and I appreciate it. ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything *2025-08-24, version 2.15.1* I downloaded the app. There’s a pop up to sign up for the premium plan. If you click the x to go to the app it logs you out. There’s literally no way to use the free version like there is on the website version. Major fail. ### 5/5 — Reassurance when you need it the most *2025-07-12, version 2.13.0* Access to advice and reassurance and instruction when you need it the most and I’ve twice got through to my vet at the practice we attend. So grateful. ### 5/5 — Pet lover *2025-05-29, version 2.11.1* The kinship app has been so great so far. The vet reached out to me immediately! Lovin it! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-05-01, version 2.10.0* I asked a question on the 24/7 vet advice service and the vet really settled my mind and gave me some great advice. This app is perfect for those of us who worry about our dog constantly. ### 1/5 — App isn’t very functional *2025-03-29, version 2.9.0* Downloaded as have a free premium subscription through the vet. But the app is constantly freezing and not scrolling. Tried to contact my vets through it, but can’t find the option. Feels like it should be a game changer but the tech isn’t right. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-03-28, version 2.9.0* It doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do, type in a message and get absolutely no reply hence totally useless. Also it’s a real hassle to load and if your dog is not well you certainly don’t want yo be wasting time with this rubbish. ## Frequently asked questions about The Kinship app ### What is the Kinship app?
