With Pawscout’s free app, safety and community are always in paw’s reach. Help lost pets, connect with local pet owners, track walks, and browse thousands of pet points of interest. A Free App to Help Lost Pets Most lost pets don’t go far—that’s why it’s crucial to rally your community. Pawscout’s App makes it easy to enlist local pet lovers in the search, and our Bluetooth-enabled Tag (optional) alerts users when a lost pet is nearby. A detailed medical profile helps pet heroes care for your furry BFF until you can be reunited. Connect with Pets Nearby Build your local network of pet lovers with Pawscout’s social tools. Share photos, arrange walks and playdates, and alert neighbors to pet hazards or pet-friendly places. Invite friends and family to expand your “petwork.” Track Walks and Set a Virtual Pet Leash Pawscout, the Smarter Pet Tag (MSRP $19.99), works with our free App to keep tabs on your favorite furball. Track walks and monitor your pet’s activity levels. Or set an outdoor virtual pet leash while you’re outside, and receive alerts on your phone when your pet goes out of range. -The Pawscout App relies on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate with your Pawscout Smarter Pet Tag. Your pet must be within 300 feet of you or anyone with the Pawscout App to locate him or her. -The Pawscout App relies on Location Services and Bluetooth, which must be enabled on your phone. -Works with Lollipop (Android 5) or newer.

so far this app has been okay, a little frustrating because it keeps randomly telling me that the tag can't be found then when I leave the app and close it out of my recent tabs and go back in it, it ...
I don't know why the complaints? The tag is Bluetooth not GPS. A proximity tag. S25 and no battery issues. I paid 3 dollars per QR collar tag and 9.99 for the year to register all my pets. They have n...
will not sign in on a new phone and will not send a password reset email
The map showed that my cat was at the end of our street, while also saying she was 22ft away from me. She was neither, she was 8 ft away, on our porch.

all app does is say... app has stopped!!! The collar I bought is useless
it won't stay open. of as excited to set up this app and always keep an eye on my dog as we are on a farm. downloaded app it opens for 2 seconds and shuts right away!
this app does not help you locate your pet with a GPS signal. it's not a pet locator.
This App Only Shows My Phone Is At. It Does Not Show Where My Pet Is At. It Only Tracks Phone. Useless App. Sorry.
I’ve had a great experience using Pawscout and would absolutely recommend it to other pet owners. The app is easy to navigate and gives real peace of mind, especially when it comes to keeping track of...
