★★★★ Kristhw 11/7/2025 v5.1.0
Scam
I bought this app, then canceled it and even received an email from someone saying it would be canceled.
Guess what, they kept charging me. And it doesn’t show up under subscriptions so it makes it even weirder and more difficult to get it canceled. This company is a nightmare to deal with.

Crappy Junk App
You can’t run anything else with sound while this app is running or everything sounds distorted. You can’t get movement notifications and you can’t hear the video on the main screen. Only if you go click on the hear every noise. The resting notifications are excessive as well. Not worth the money!
★★★★ Ad enjoy 12/2/2022 v4.11.0
Awful
Would be a great app if it didn’t stop monitoring every time I use it. The app then tells me the only way to restart is from the camera device. That defeats the purpose completely because if I was home to restart from the camera device, it wouldn’t need to be in use. Since I would, you know, be able to watch with my own eyes. Worst $6.99 I’ve spent.

Video doesn’t work.
I tried connecting to the monitor app while at work and it does not connect to video. I am on wifi at work and my iPad has wifi at home. Do not bother wasting your money.
★★★★★ mw1271 6/12/2023 v4.11.3
Unreliable app
Does not stay on can’t locate dog station
★★★★★ JoshG21Blue 1/31/2022 v4.9.2
Works, but interferes with phone audio
This app works as intended, but I am unable to play any sound from my phone while monitoring my dog. Even when it is on mute. Music and directions audio either won't work or are very messed up and it is caused by this app.
★★★★★ gster1357 12/31/2021 v4.9.2
Keeps crashing
Keeps disconnecting and is useless if I can’t see my dog
★★★★★ sfrunz 8/23/2021 v4.9.2
Great idea, but needs a little work
This is the app I have been looking for. Being able to be notified whenever my dog howls is extremely helpful and love that I can interact with her in real time. The only downfall (which is honestly a major one for me) is that you cannot use any other apps that play music while using it. I have a long commute to work so not being able to listen to music or podcast in order to keep this one going is super inconvenient and hopefully something that gets updated in time.
