Ratings and reviews

I've had this for a year now and use it about 4 nights a week without any problems. just purchased 2nd collar and it works perfectly. there is a latency of tone/shock over long distances but that's to be expected. Up close and to 2 to 300 yrds tone/shock is immediate. Battery drain for phone hasn't been an issue at all. All the map features are awesome. App has run great with no crashing or need to restart. only time I've had signal loss was when dog got in a hole at about 800 yrds.

Have been using this system for about 3 years and have had a great experience with it. Until the latest update. App will no longer run in the background, as soon as my phone screen goes off, it will shut down & stop tracking my dog. I have gone over all the settings and cannot find a way to make app keep running. Only thing I can do is leave phone's screen on, but that dramatically affects my battery life, and I have never had to do that before, it would continue to run and notify me.

App seems to work correctly, however. I would like to see the maps move as I move. I don’t like having to pan every little bit to keep me and my dogs on the screen. Google Maps, Waze, etc. maps stay with you as you move around, wish this one did. I can’t find a setting for it, so I believe it the way it was designed. I would like to see some other functionality added like the ability to take a picture or video without leaving the app and the ability to connect to galaxy/android watch like you can with the apple watch. Overall a decent app just needs some updating.
