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 this every day. If he were to actually escape, I wouldn't be able to find him. Which is the point of the app. So I'm looking for something else that doesn't just turn off randomly so consistently.

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 gone on a couple walks now with it, and one didn't show up at all, and one tracked for .11 miles on a 1.5 mile walk. Have had for 4 days and half the battery is gone already. Cust srvc doesn't care either Edited

Immensely disappointing. Not just from a software perspective, but a hardware perspective, my dogs are able to chew the trackers open and access the battery. Thankfully they didn't eat it and get hurt. There has to be better solutions out there for tracking our beloved pets. This solution is not the answer. The app constantly gave me and my partner unnecessary notifications, and lacked consistent connectivity to the trackers themselves. And the Pro service? It's not even worth trialing.

Randy, we are very concerned to hear your comment and want to help. The tags should be difficult to impossible to open for a pet. Please write to us at [email protected].

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 does not actually provide any settings at all. some of the descriptions and features of the device can be somewhat misleading. I did initially have a lot of trouble getting the device to work. Edited

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 canceled that. Update on Dec 29: Discovered I have to delete and then reinstall the app every couple of days when the app says the unit is out of range. That makes it show up again. Bummer! Edited
