Review on ๐Ÿพ Pawscout Pet Tag (Version 2.5) - Smart Safety Petwork, Lost & Found Alerts, Walk Tracking, Outdoor Virtual Leashes, Medical Profiles, Short-Range Pet Tracker by Renee Cook

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Slightly misleading and disappointing

Be sure to read more reviews on this as the pictures in the listing are misleading. You seem to be able to see a point or something where your pet is specifically within your radius, but the actual app doesn't do anything of the sort, just telling you if they're in range or not - useless to smaller ones Find pets that like to sleep in bushes or otherwise over a larger area out of sight. Also, the radius often inexplicably changed in size, going from large to medium to small, moving inside to outside, or just moving around the area, making it difficult to rely on this app at all. It's also always asking for your location, not just when the app is open, and if you don't allow it or change it later, it'll constantly have a big popup asking you to change your settings! I almost never give apps constant access to my location or similar data (and this app doesn't require location data, which is always on for pet location tracking, since it mainly uses Bluetooth), so it frustrates me that I have to do this every time Find out if my cat would have constant red popup banners at the top of my app along with their location insecurity. I mean, if you need this for a dog that likes to run away from home completely in a metro area with little property, this will probably fit your needs. But if you own a large property, or don't need the ability of other app users to find your pet for you, or want to track your pet in a specific location, you'll probably need to invest in something a little more expensive and reliable.

Pros
  • Collars, Harnesses & Leashes
Cons
  • Hard to tell
