Puddle & Pile for Negative User Reviews

✓ Great app for 1st time puppy ownerThis app has really helped my wife and I house train our 8wk old Australian Shepherd! Only issues I have with the app are technical ones: 1 - The "share" results functionality is not working on my iPhone 7. App says "Failure: your device does not support the sending email." 2 - It would be nice to allow others to download the app and track data for the same dog (e.g. my wife). Other people have also mentioned it would be nice to be able to track more than one dog as well. For this app to really get a 5 star rating, these features can't be missing..Jakess87Version: 1.6.0

✓ I can’t believe I paid for thisI can’t believe this is a paid app! Sure, it’s helpful to log these activities for your own reference and the predictability feature is nice, but you’ll notice when you look back the data and history is unreliable. I use this app religiously throughout the day because having a puppy is tiring and your day gets busy, so it’s helpful to know when they last went out. But this app is a rip off & the developers have some work to do. My biggest gripe is the app deletes and changes entries on its own. For example, it shows my puppy “piled” 8x one day. Similarly, it shows I never input when she was fed yesterday. At first I thought I was mistaken and perhaps had forgot, so I’ve started screenshotting the activity and confirmed it does change on its own. I can’t believe the developers are profiting off this when it doesn’t even work as ir should..WReviews1234Version: 1.7.0

✓ ConfusingCan’t really figure out this app, quirky between screens.Nathalia777Version: 1.7.0

✓ Not worth the moneySave the money and just track food and potty on your iCalendar. This app tracks times but it doesn't help you learn their routine. There are no visual aids (like graphs) to help you figure out how often your puppy needs to go. The alerts are only semi helpful IF your phone's volume is up. I've found more use setting alarms on my phone to wake me up at night..CloraeBacaVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Ugly but ultimate useful appThis app is really useful but the design is a unfortunately a total mess. Buttons and text are very difficult to read in a swirly font, especially when placed over a photo of your puppy. I would rate it 5 stars if the design was more in line with the basic expectations of a paid app..YoungKirksVersion: 1.7.0

✓ ScamDownloaded it and nothing opened.Scam4521Version: 1.7.0

✓ Not updated for last 2 yrs - doesnt sync across devicesI am mot sure if it uses learnings from your puppy and/or the general pool because we are a family and it would beed to work for the whole family to log events and know what is about to happen. Great concept — needs someone to invest the resource to make it happen. It would be an acceptable family hobby and to stop developing if you also stopped charging $1.99 for an app with very limited functionality..Arthur365Version: 1.6.0

✓ Needs higher contrast for low vision peopleLove this app! I recommended it to my mother-in-law, but she says she has a hard time reading the white print and inputting data against the photo backdrop. So I had to give it three stars. Is there anyway to put accessibility features on this for people with poor eyesight?.Djdntjr013847Version: 1.7.0

✓ BrokenI downloaded the app and played around with it so I know how to use it when my puppy comes in a few weeks. I then went to show and share and hit clear to remove all the fake times I put into it. However, I ended up getting notifications the next day in the early morn that my puppy may have to puddle! Why is it notifying me when I cleared all data?!?! How is it making predictions when no data is in it?!?!.Tlc4915Version: 1.6.0

✓ Helpful but could be improvedI would give this app 5 stars if it didn’t delete your history over time. I wish it kept record of everything so you could go back and see when your dog had their last accident etc. It seems to delete some info and keep others..GoodhvntingVersion: 1.7.0

✓ IMO, False advertisingAfter paying for this app I must say I'm extremely disappointed that it will not allow tracking for more than one dog. I was specifically looking for an app that would load multiple dogs, we have two puppies. Additionally in the app description it they show a screen shot that says "change dog", this is not an option on the actual app, and it seems very misleading. It was because of the screenshot I decided to Purchase the app and not use a free app I had previously downloaded and started to use. With that said, after reading the reviews, I am hopeful it can aid with predicting my puppies needs even if it can only track one dog..JuJu HuntVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Helpful but not perfectI think this could be better. It could be more predictive and smart. It would also be better if multiple people could share the account on 2 devices. It def helped remind us to take our puppy out and sometimes was def spot on. But it didn’t really seem to learn her habits the more stats we put in..HollacebVersion: 1.7.0

✓ Can’t create accountWould be useful to be able to create an account to have on multiple devices. There’s some odd way to share history via email that didn’t work as don’t use iPhone mail app… Didn’t understand infographics of hearts and stars or percentages either… not the best app.E.UlanowskiVersion: 1.7.0

✓ Could be good...I thought this would be a great app for our new puppy and it did work great at first. As we've had her for a few weeks now her habits have been evolving and aren't the same as the first week. This app seems to pick the same exact times every day that she will need to go out. Even if I just let her out 4:30 it will still say the next time she needs to go out is 4:50. I was hoping this app would learn her habits but it just sticks to a few key times..Abby2010Version: 1.6.0

✓ Mixed ResultsStarted using this app about 4 weeks ago and below are my experiences. 1. App does a good job of alerting you when next expected puddle or pile will occur based off past history entered (though seems mostly like it’s only based on the prior day results - see point 3). 2. Those that have multiple users will need to coordinate inputs and sending history as there’s no user name account to share activity. It’s a stand alone app. 3. No complex report out or analysis of habits. Just a simple data extract of what was input 4. Historical data seems to delete puddle data after only 2 days, leaving history of only piles and/or food or drink habits. I’ve contacted creator on this and he indicated it would be looked into, but no short term fix I’ve seen. 5. Creator has been responsive to questions but app changes come down to developer time..I AM A PIGEONVersion: 1.7.0

✓ Don’t buy this appIt only saves 3 days worth of data. Also, the predictions are pretty useless. Anyone who has a puppy knows that they don’t go to the bathroom at the same time every day (which is the thesis of this app) besides right when they wake up and within a general time frame after they eat. Potty timing depends more on activity changes between napping, playing, etc. which this app doesn’t recognize. Just because my puppy peed at 2:03 PM on Tuesday right after he finished playing doesn’t mean he’ll pee at 2:03 PM on Wednesday when he’s in the middle of a nap as the app predicts. I didn’t really mind the poor prediction ability because I found immense value in looking back at my data for the day to understand how much my puppy goes to the bathroom and to remember when his last accident was. I was hoping to be able to look back and say wow it’s been two weeks since an accident! We’re getting somewhere. BUT PLOT TWIST!! This app ONLY SAVES THREE DAYS WORTH OF DATA! Yep, the developer calls it a “3 day data-space saving feature.” The remedy suggested by the developer was to send myself my data every two days manually if I want a record. I’m sorry but I did not pay for an app to add another task to my to do list. I paid for it to make my life easier! Look elsewhere..OliviairisVersion: 1.7.0

✓ It’s simple but too simpleIt’s a very complex app that track potty progress. The issue is I assumed i would be able to share it with my spouse so when she got home she would be able to see what the puppy did during the day. Unfortunately the only way was to email her the progress from the app and she would have to text me what the dog did and I would Have to enter it while at work. Need multiple functionality to make this app worthwhile. If you are a single dog owner it’s great..Bukakke expressVersion: 1.7.0
