PawBoost - Lost and Found Pets for Android
Used the app when we first lost our dog. We were contacted by several people who had seen him in the area and found him shortly after. A few weeks after 2 strange dogs were running around our street. Opened the app and lucky for them their owner had posted about them the day before. I called them and they are now home safe because of the app. Great app! We check the app regularly when ever we see an animal lose when we're out.
This app could really use some work and then it could be wonderful. Coaching the owners of lost animal on better, more accurate descriptions is absolutely necessary and missing from this app. Long hair? Short hair? Primary color? Distinguishing marks? Crooked tail? Limping? Just shaved? I color? Microchipped? Spayed or neutered? Loves people? Scared of everything? Wearing a collar? What kind? ID tags? I don't know that I've ever seen more than one picture per posting of a lost animal either. That's just ridiculous. And the website? Don't get me started. The cookies don't work at all. It does not remember your personalized settings. It takes seven or eight clicks, navigating and sorting just to get to a search function. For such a noble idea, more work needs to be done and this could truly be a fantastic app.
I do like this app but since I've gotten my new phone the app will download to my phone but will not allow me to enter it. It crashes immedently
It was MUCH EASIER to find your lost pet when you only had to deal with 2 websites. Craigslists' Lost & Found and the local shelter websites. It was very efficient and successful! The more apps and websites dedicated to finding lost pets will only cause confusion and pets to get lost in the sea of apps. I realize they mean well but all these apps will do more harm than good. ????
Please add a place to show the name of the Subdivision where the pet went missing. Allow for a mileage perimeter. Had to lower my rating because I can't tell what neighborhood the pet was list in so it makes it hard to tell from a zip code.
I do like the ability to share through the community when there is a lost or found pet, and that pet boost gives everyone a platform for this, but the app needs work. It's extremely limited in functionality for users. You basically just scroll through a barrage of photos in order to really get to pets in your area, and there's no feature to list reunited pets. My pet went missing last weekend and came back a day later, and he's still listed in the Lost Pets section (because I do not know how to edit any of his info or even delete his listing).
Cool app. BUT, I wish there were a way of ppl updating, when they get their furbaby back, safe and sound. I network them on fb but never know their updates.
AWESOME way to get your lost or found pet noticed! i got a response from the very worried mom n pop of sweet "charlie" INSTANTLY, and he was thankfully reunited within the hour of submitting the post. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THANK YOU PAWBOOST!!!
This app has been incredible in helping reunite animals with their owners. Usually you find an animal but don't know if it's lost or you lose an animal and only resort to flyers. This centralizes the process AND send you an update seen they're reunited, which is often within a few days, so 1.) Shows pseudo statistical evidence of a success rate. 2.) Brightens your day knowing just how often there's a happy reunion.
You don't have to know my location to help me find a lost dog... Information is property and the user should be able to decide what to give. 1 star.
Need to upload photos from camera phone , and update the description of the pet , after I take the pet to the shelter I like to update the info, and take to long to open the app , log in ,take picture , is easy to take the photo from phone camera and then upload it to the app and rewrite the pet info. Thanks .
Am uninstalling after 5 minutes. No ability to sort or search thru an endless list of pets. Easier to look online.
I posted the recent black cat in cage. I want to update this post but doesn't look like I can from this app. I need someone to take over keeping him until owner found or just adopt him now. He needs to be inside. We have him outdoors because of cat allergies in this family.
If I could sort by zip code it would help tremendously. Alerts should only be about pets near me and not all over the metro area. App needs a LOT of work before it will be useful. I will probably delete it so I don't get alerts about people and pets I can't help.
I dont like this at all , someone just took my dog put him on this stupid app and now he is in somones home . you cant even pull up there post because it gets deleted when there reunited . i want my baby back ????????????????
I was able to unite a lost pet with their owner because of this app. Would be helpful if the zip codes could be sorted
2 things to improve: 1. Make sortable by Dog, Cat, Other 2. Configurable range
Desperately needs to allow users to input "miles from me" like email alerts from your site. Uninstalling for now.
This is wonderful what your doing for our pets and for us thank you very much and God Bless each and everyone of you
Awesome..i find animals all the time and search for owners ..sometimes i get lucky and other times i end up keeping the little guy ..but with this app i can actually get the family member back home with their family..thank you
I see it does help it gets the word out that your pet is missing. I think it could help more if subdivision was listed. A street name name is helpful if I know where that street is located. If I know what subdivision pet lives in it helps more. Potential routes and if they might be close by to you.
Way to prey on people who desperate to get their pet back. Shame.
Love you incredible people who created this app for our beautiful furry family that are lost or found...perfect! And it uses Facebook
I love this app. I can keep a eye out for the missing animals.
This app would be great to reunite pets in Hurricane Harvey aftermath. If everyone would just coordinate it, this job would be easier.
Anything that helps to locate your pet is wonderful! I do not like the pricey upgrade features.
Its great to be able to spread the bad news fast..but its way way too expensive..
This is the second time pawboost brought our pets home
Needs to be able to look another areas to be more effective.
I found a pic of my puppy named princess and white. somone just need to find her
It's a great app really helps you find your pet but I'm not getting the updates like I should
Awesome app, but don't want notifications from zip codes that aren't mine or even relevant to me
I think this is a wonderful way of finding your babies.
NOT FREE
Great site for pet lovers!
Great service thank you!
It's a Great App for finding pet's
Hope
Amazing app ????

Do like the concept . has helped many find their pet. Dislike the "near me" feature, be more useful if was more near me, many are no way close by. Also the emails I get when a pet is lost, found etc takes you to all the listings and no way to Know What pet it is. There are some better local apps.
