Reviews for Pawscout

the device is okay. but if I find something that works better I will definitely be switching. the company says the device is not GPS based it is Bluetooth based, however I would be willing to pay more for a device that used a combination of GPS and Bluetooth or GPS only. the settings feature […]

Loses connection when standing right next to your pet. Device not water resistant. A little water and the battery and tag are done. No I’m not going to bother opening another ticket. I’m done. I’ve discontinued the subscription. My dog went for a swim and fried another tag. It was constantly losing it’s connection when […]

Not great. I expected it to be able to use other devices with the pawscout app installed to help in triangulation (something it should be able to do with the existing hardware, allowing multiple family members to walk around looking, giving more accurate results) but it can’t. Instead, when multiple are searching, results are far […]

It’s a pretty good option for tracking your pet, as there is no recurring fees like GPS trackers have. It functions via your phones Bluetooth, so it works best when you’re outside. The best thing about this app however is the customer service. The reps will do everything in their power to make sure you […]

It was advertised more to make you believe that it would track there whereabouts. No. It doesn’t. Like, AT ALL. Basically, it is bluetooth only, and lets you know if they are in range of your phone only. There arent enough users to bluetooth track enough connected phones. And it doesnt show you their path […]

can’t even set my location! uninstalled/reinstalled twice and it won’t let me set my location so i can’t even see who is nearby that has the app. the map will only move left/right not up/down so impossible to manually move to my location, and when i hit “set location” it says it’s unable to find […]

I like the easy setup and physical flexibility with any dog collar. As a software support specialist this lacks a lot of what I need, so I hope the developers are really watching posts. Comparing the gps tracking with the one used by “MapMyWalk”, its not good. I have been walking my dogs for 3 […]

The app is neat, fairly easy to navigate, and the location is fairly accurate. Pros: -the ability to have other caregivers who watch him also be able to track him/his walks and communicate with us via app. -easy to use once set up -resources to help find a lost animal Cons: -the need to be […]

I love the idea of being able to keep track of where my pet is at and keeping them safe and I’m glad I took the step to buy her a tracker, but the app is not the best, it gives you the general area of where your pet is at, except it is not […]

It worked fine when I bought it, then not at all. I tried again 7mo later, no problems. Then it just asked me to update her tag, then blank. I’m having issues w the tag/app, but when it works, it works great. Just wish it was GPS instead of Bluetooth. She’s going to be my […]

Cool concept, very poor execution. My wife set up the tags, and shared me as the co-parent, but I can’t pair with my cats (even if she’s not home and well out of bluetooth range) unless I set them up as new pets. Then she loses them from her app. Useless if we both want […]

Don’t waste your money on these. Our tags will not stay connected. There is no on off switch so it runs the battery down fast. It will not register a walk even though it will start it, end it, then just tell me walk was too short and make me discard it cause it recorded […]

I would love to give 5 stars, though I can not. We discovered this gadget through our neighbor and their outdoor cat and thought it was nifty… in case, when our cat or dog got out. They’re both escape artists, houdini’s. Who loves nothing more than to explore the neighborhood and harass our fellow neighbors. […]

I give it two because I like the idea. It just could be a lot better and there are better ones out there. I did have pro to get the most of the app and the price is amazing. If you have a chewer DO NOT GET THIS PRODUCT!! Mine had it chewed up the […]

Wish I had read reviews before purchase. Same as many other reviews, when setting up a new tag, it won’t allow you to add a picture, and won’t let you continue. Doesn’t matter how you set up permissions. Also not stoked on how “social” this app is. I simply wanted an easy way for someone […]

Tags are a little hard to set up because they would not sync. We changed the batteries out and after 3 weeks, it would not locate my dogs. App is not very user friendly. The only thing easy was setting up my babies profile. Had a little issue with downloading pic, but finally got it […]

I like this system BUT both with the old model and new model, regardless of a new battery, every time we go for a walk, I open up the app and it “can’t locate tag.” So I have to manually push the tag. It lights up blue and then it connects. I have to do […]

Great idea, huge battery drainer. I really love this idea. I really want it to work. But the app even when running in the background was using 35% of my battery. The next 5 apps combined didn’t even come close to using that much power. Optimise the app for power consumption and I’ll consider reinstalling […]

Do not buy if you love your pet. The device is very unreliable. Every couple of days it constantly tells me my dog is out of range when its sitting right next to me. Had subscribed to pawscout pro trial which was suppose to give me quick troubleshooting service. That was a joke so I […]

The app is horrible. Bought this to track our walks and to have a backup method in case one of the dogs gets out. This will not do either.The app is clunky at best. Something as basic as searching for a friend’s profile on there is impossible. The tracker itself constantly doesn’t work, we have […]
