My Pet - The Pet Record Maker

As far as functionality and features this app is pretty good, maybe the best of the apps I’ve tried. But I have one minor and one major gripe. Minor: There is a lot of data and options, this can lead to a confusing user experience. It’s pretty good all things considered but its sometimes hard to find what you want and there are inconsistencies like some kinds of records can have expenses attached but things like vaccinations do not. Major: The data sync in this app is bonkers. You can use their “cloud” or you can use iCloud. iCloud never worked for me. There’s also a web portal which is awesome BUT; you have to manually “sync” from one device to either the [device] cloud or the web portal, then on another device you must import this data from either the portal or the other device. Synchronization implies that this just happens and is seamless which is definitely not the case here. You’re asking families to constantly be push/pulling data and hope their copy is the most current.

I have two dogs and keeping their records on paper is hard. We travel and having all the records on my phone for vets, grooming and other things is great. I love that you can email information to care givers of the fur babies. Both my fur babies have allergies. I now tell every fur baby parent this is a You Gotta have app!!

I am not as smart as I used to be. As a result, this app was so hard to set up correctly that I just gave up and deleted it.

I had 6 years of weekly weigh in data for 3 cats and 9 months of daily weigh in data for 2 cats. I contacted the developers of 3 pet data apps to see if their app could import that data from a csv or excel file. This app was the only one who replied and while the app couldn’t import it, they offered to do so over the web access portal. Absolutely awesome. Now I have all my cats’ weights over time in an app that is meant for them. I love the weight chart and the little up/down/same symbols for each entry. I had to be told “Admin” was the same as the “settings” I was looking for but once there I was able to change it to 2 decimal places and lbs. If I was to improve the app I would make it so on the pets page, tapping the pet would bring you to all the medical records and places to enter them vs going to the medical record you want to add (like weight) and tapping the pet there, but that is just the way my mind works. The app is perfectly fine the way it is—just a little hard for me personally to wrap my mind around it. PS. This is the first app I’ve ever written a review for. I was that impressed by the service.

This app is not functioning as described. I don’t receive an email when I try to link my userid and email. The app doesn’t save information properly and after hitting save all my information is lost when I go back in. The app is adding multiples when selecting deworming medication and then adds the types of parasites to the vaccine list in addition to the parasite list.

The app used to be a great place to store information about your pets. I spent a long time entering vaccines and other health info four my four pets for several years with no issues. However, since the app was updated and the icon has changed, all of my data is now gone.

(1) When I click on “admin” under the more tab, the app crashes. (2) When download records from iCloud or web, expenses are all zero’ed out. (3) When the “use iCloud Drive to sync” is checked, getting an error message when trying to download from iCloud (I’ve done the failsafe mode troubleshoot) (4) Your email doesn’t work ****isn’t a full app check done before an update is released? If I’m going to continually be the only one providing these feedback I should get compensated for my time!***

This app is very buggy, features don’t work as they should, and the interface is confusing. Don’t waste $2.99.

There are not many pet record apps out there and the few I downloaded and tried were lacking to say the least. Many had only dog or cat as the pet category and others weren’t even updated to fit the screen. This app is comprehensive and includes several pet categories, dogs cats ferrets birds cows hamsters, you name it. Medical information is detailed to include medications, microchip info, you name it. I don’t write many reviews and do so only for the apps that I feel are exceptional. This app is exceptional. UPDATE- I’ve had this app months now, it’s better and better. Had suggestions for the dev and he updated the app. The dev is very responsive. Even more categories now and has EVERYTHING you want or need in a pet app!

Crashes frequently, don’t inconsistencies make it hard to use (white text on white background), pages close for no reason. Horrible. Want my 2.99 back.
