Newest updates don’t allow the app to open when you have no cell reception. Difficult to check ticks on my dog when the app won’t open at a campsite without cell reception. Fix this and I’ll bump it to five stars. ### 3/5 — ticks *2026-07-12, version 1.3.1* It actually works ### 1/5 — Fishy *2026-06-06, version 1.3.1* I don’t know if this app works or not, never got past the fact that you can’t try it , even once , without signing up .You can’t try and enable the free trial without disqualifying yourself from the reasonable yearly subscription cost of around $39, limiting yourself to the ridiculous rate of $5.99/wk . Seems to me that if this app was all that good , the developers would offer a couple of free scans without the penalty of an expensive subscription ### 1/5 — Not ideal. Doesn’t work. *2026-06-05, version 1.3.1* Upgraded and it was horrible. Refund. Didn’t work. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-06-04, version 1.3.1* App crashes easily ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-06-01, version 1.3.0* Whenever an app prompts me to rate them before I even get to try the app I give one star until they prove me wrong. The app said free on their advertising but you can’t use it without spending 40 something dollars. I also will never pay for an app that I can’t try out first. Looks like a scam. ### 1/5 — No free AND does not work *2026-05-31, version 1.3.0* It says free but they charge you for a year, it says cancel anytime - yes cancel but without a refund. If the tick is ON top of the fur where you can see with your naked eyes, the app also finds. If it’s within the fur, the app is useless. No wonder they force you to pay because if you got to test first you won’t buy. Such a scam!!! ### 2/5 — Garbage *2026-05-29, version 1.3.0* Complete garbage. Will scan a tick for you and tell you what it is but you could get that for free on AI as far as finding text. It does not work at all. ### 1/5 — Crash *2026-05-25, version 1.3.0* Can’t get anything going as soon as I select the scan function it crashes. ### 1/5 — No Good *2026-05-23, version 1.3.0* I installed it even got the free trial but as soon as I went to scan it closed. Uninstalled and reinstalled same issue . Too bad seemed nice to tey but it’s not working ### 1/5 — Waste of Time *2026-05-19, version 1.3.0* Apparently, all this app does is identify what kind of tick you find on your dog. It doesn't help you locate a tick, except for telling you the area is that you're most likely to find them on your pets. No real instructions included. ### 1/5 — No trial? *2026-05-16, version 1.3.0* I want to try it before I buy it. ### 1/5 — Misleading subscription and useless app *2026-04-10, version 1.3.0* I was misled by the subscription. The app makes it look like you are buying a weekly subscription, when it’s actually a year subscription for 49$. And it can’t be cancelled. The app itself is absolutely useless. The only way you can find a tick on a pet using this app is if it has no fur. It’s just a camera with saturation. Not worth the money ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-04-06, version 1.3.0* I just signed up like 5 minutes ago. I took a picture of a tick so just pulled off my dog. Took a great picture and I get an “ooops…” try again later or whatever. Plus I tried to scan my dog and I hit the scan button it goes to a screen that asks me to pick one of 3 different lighting buttons. I checked one and then want? It does NOTHING. There is no explanation? No instructions. NOTHING! I am pretty “P O’d” right now. I want my money back. Is there a contact email or number? I don’t see it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of time and money *2026-08-15, version 1.3.1* Shines a light or shows in different colors you still have to find the tick and it never actually scans. Horrible waste of energy ### 1/5 — 5.99 per week ! *2026-08-15, version 1.3.1* No way. Ya got me but no way $5.99 per week ### 1/5 — Why this app sucks: by me *2026-07-30, version 1.3.1* This app sucks because it says you’ll be able to see ticks but ofc it cost 30 dollars to use it and before you even know what it supposoling dose it will bribe you to rate it and many more reasons ### 1/5 — Really?? *2026-07-28, version 1.3.1* Seems pretty worthless to me. There’s no way your phone camera is going to find a tick…through your dogs heavy coat that’s next to the skin. I mean it’s not like your phone camera is infrared or heat detection or anything like that to be able to find a tick unless it’s on the outside of their coat….which you could easily see with your own eyes. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-24, version 1.3.1* DO NOT GET it is a complete scam I clicked on the scanner it did not scan it told me I can’t scan fix this app now ### 1/5 — Tick checker *2026-07-15, version 1.3.1* Doesn’t let me use the camera ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-13, version 1.3.1* Try it so you don’t waste your time or money. This one don’t work. Every time try scan the app close. You can’t do a scan. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2026-07-03, version 1.3.1* I have been trying to cancel this app since the day I downloaded it and all the emails I get are giving me misinformation and I cannot cancel. This is so infuriating. The app is useless. I don’t want to pay for it! ### 1/5 — No instructions *2026-06-09, version 1.3.1* It's says to choose your mode but the modes aren't labelled. Useless andNOT FREE ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-06-08, version 1.3.1* Can’t cancel, I can’t find a cancel trial or service. No help from customer service was told they don’t have direct access. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Like a flock camera for ticks *2026-08-18, version 1.3.1* Thing works the balls. Love it. if you have an active outdoor dog this is for you seriously. I was skeptical at first, but this turns out to be one of the best things ever ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-08-01, version 1.3.1* Thank you for this App ! Super helpful ### 5/5 — Good jog *2026-07-14, version 1.3.1* This helps me so much ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-06-29, version 1.3.1* Amazing great checker 100% real ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-09, version 1.3.1* Love this app ### 5/5 — Ticks *2026-05-15, version 1.3.0* I don’t understand why they say FREE when it’s not ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-08-06, version 1.3.0* The app is very user-friendly and the tick detection is spot on. I’ve already caught a few ticks before they could cause any harm, which is the most important thing for me. ### 5/5 — T *2025-08-05, version 1.3.0* So good ### 5/5 — Fast detection *2025-08-05, version 1.3.0* I never knew how crucial an app like this one could be until I started using it. It’s amazing how quickly it scans and detects ticks after an outdoor adventure. ### 5/5 — Outdoor safety *2025-08-04, version 1.3.0* As someone who loves spending time in nature, this app has become an essential part of my routine. I also appreciate that it gives prevention tips that are super helpful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
