Description

Pawscout Smarter Pet Tag
The Pawscout App empowers all pet lovers to locate nearby pet stores, groomers, parks, and other pet-friendly locations, to create detailed pet profiles (with health and behavioral issues), and to enlist the aid of the rapidly-growing Pawscout community to find lost pets. The Pawscout App provides additional benefits to purchasers of the Pawscout Smarter Pet Tag, including virtual leash and pet and walk tracking.

The Pawscout Tag replaces the traditional metal tag that has not changed in over two hundred years with cutting-edge Bluetooth technology optimized for pets and available for purchase at widespread retailers and www.pawscout.com for just $19.95.

I'm struggling to get this application working. I have contacted support as the email and password option will not authenticate, nor will the facebook login. I have tried this on 3 different phones, different os versions, wifi/4g, latest version of code in the app store and none of it is currently allowing me to get past the login screen. I got a response from support about a week ago that they were going to pass my case on to the back end engineers, but since then it has gone quiet despite subsequent follow up emails. I am hoping resolution can be obtained soon. If not I will be returning the tag and request a full refund as it is not functionally sound.

Good to have, but community driven. APP needs some TLC REQUIRES WILLING COMMUNITY TO BE EFFECTIVE. No other utility outside of if a pet is lost, but the app accomplishes it's job of storing and sending pet info in case of an emergency. Would like to see more effort in improving app quality (in app help section) & popularity. Urge everyone you know/see in the area to get the app to cover as much area as possible in hopes that someone will overlap with the pet. Product not free from basic bluetooth limitations.

The worst POS I have wasted my money on, for the token. I would give 0 stars if it allowed. Created an account 4 times in four days becuse the account disappeared. Going to see if I can get my money back. DO NOT BUY! IT DOES NOT WORK!

This is a worthless product. Took me seven days of trying to set it up before it finally worked. By worked, I mean set up only. I can't make the supposed virtual fence notify me when she wanders from it. It also indicated she was miles away from me when she was actually standing right next to me.

Community based, with only 1000 downloads,it's a small community. Worst product I have bought. It sat on my coffee table for 2 days and my phone on my couch for 2 days. In that area days I have over 100 notifications and vibrations from pawscout saying my pet has left the lease area. Neither my phone or the dog tag moved positions.

So frustrating. I've tried to refresh it every possible way. The app hasn't worked in months and it's not even a yr old..

Needs a refresh button Great app when it decides to refresh location. If there is a way to refresh on demand i haven't found it. Also, while smaller than other trackers I researched, it's still large and bulky for cats.

Great concept but needs a map option for the Droid Maxx I can log in just fine and view shared pets locations if close by. However I cannot access the general map. Would be a nice feature to have for those who want to help rescue!

Great app I was looking for a cheaper pet tracker, and this product was the best for its price. The app works pretty well, and I feel more comfortable that my dog is safe.

Works great I live in Costa Rica and so far the application has worked just great despite some minor hiccups I had uploading my cat's pic when I was setting it up. Nothing major to beat the developers about.

Kurt Nuke February 5, 2016

Horrible app Really wanted this to work but it does not. Standard NFC tags that populate geolocation when scanned are much more useful.. Neat idea though.

christian barr February 23, 2016

Effectively useless Can only pick up signal about 6 feet away. In no way will this help locate a missing cat

Laura Duncan January 20, 2016

Great app if it work all the time. It keeps crashing. Please fix.

Oleg Roberman January 14, 2016

Cannot upload image from LG V10 Save spinner comes up for a fraction of a second after it has me crop image (new or from gallery) but never actually saves. Cannot move past this in account set up, so device does not work at all.

Does not load and attempts to trigger seizures for people with epilepsy.

System connection fixed Needs to improve on correct location of animal.

Angie Flores November 19, 2015

Does not update location my pet

Chris Torre November 17, 2015

Can't register device LG G4, says "failed to upload" when promoted to choose picture. Have tried pictures on sd and internal memory. No way to skip, cannot finish registration... SAMSUNG GS6, goes to black screen and becomes non-responsive when prompted to upload a picture. Will post updated review when problems addressed

Worked well one time. Now the app will continue to crash and will not load the homepage to track my pet. It works perfectly on apple products, but does not seem to work as well on android devices. I would not be able to use this app if it wasn't for my ipad. Please fix the bugs for the android devices!
