ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dog and cat care holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dog and cat care has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Pet's Diary's written reviews are positive against 73% of Dog and cat care's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pet's Diary ships an update every 2 months, Dog and cat care every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
