User Reviews

Animal Tracker shows promise with a broad species database and GPS-based tracking, and many users describe it as cool and feature-rich. However, reviews frequently point to outdated data and few active trackers, unclear onboarding, lack of live tracking, sign-in issues, and misaligned expectations for tracking pets. Overall, it has potential but needs data freshness, better onboarding, and reliability improvements.

Pros

Broad species catalog with many species listed and GPS-enabled tracking capabilities.
App is perceived as cool and feature-rich with positive user sentiment.
Useful for tracking animals (specific or random tags) using GPS data.

Cons

Data is outdated with few active trackers; information not regularly updated.
Poor onboarding and lack of guidance on how to use the app.
No live tracking; the app primarily shows historical data.
Verification/sign-in issues (e.g., verification emails not received).
Not well suited for casual pet tracking; expectations to track ordinary pets are unrealistic.
