DogLog - Track your dog’s life 4+

Incredible App!!!

I never write reviews but this app deserves 10 stars if I could give that many! My dog recently had surgery and my boyfriend and I were completely overwhelmed with his discharge instructions and all the medications we needed to give him at specific times. Not to mention, all the signs/symptoms we needed to watch for such as refusing to eat or regurgitating.

Thanks to this app we were able to stay organized and track all his activities and medications. The app is user friendly and I love that we could make our own custom events for symptoms or anything else we needed to track. The reminders feature was incredibly helpful in keeping us on track with his meds. It’s also amazing that we were able to put notes in the reminders so we could easily see not just the name of the medicine but also what it was for and whether it needed to be given with food etc.

The customer support is also amazing! I had a question and received a response via email fairly quickly. I can’t say enough good things about this app! The best part is it’s totally free! Don’t waste your time on any other app. This one is the best if you’re needing to track your pets needs and activities.

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for the great feedback!

From a pet sitter

This is a great app! Very simple and straight forward, easy to use. I have a pet sitting business and have began to implement this with my clients for easy tracking.

I have reached out to the developers and have discussed several ideas and improvements. I was met with a warm reply and great news for the plans of the future of this app. They already planned on rolling out a few of my ideas I sent in their coming versions. I hope to see other features I recommended as well, as this could really be a game changer for small pet sitting businesses to use on a regular basis.

For what it is, they’ve done an excellent job and I will continue to use it and look forward to their further development.

Downgrading after experience

Initially I was wowed and really enjoyed the app. Even made a contribution of much greater value than most apps sell for as a one time purchase fee. It seems like the developers have gotten a little greedy from the popularity and now want $40 per year for what amounts to rather minor benefits no where near the value.
One simple thing you cannot do with the free version is download the data. This becomes a much bigger problem than you might think, as the app doesn’t store the data locally and downloads the logs every time you open the app. Now it takes about 3-4 minutes for the app to start up, much longer over cellular data, when you have a few thousand log entries. So short term as a free app if you are okay with waiting around a lot, or wipe out your data to start over with a new pack every 6 months or so, it can be okay. It’s too bad as it did seem promising at first. There is also advertising from sponsors too.
