User Reviews

Overall, users praise ARL of IA for its ease of use, clear organization, and informative pet profiles that include photos and descriptions, with updates that improved performance. However, recurring concerns focus on missing or outdated animal information, limited notification features (especially multi-species alerts), occasional contact information problems, and insufficient search filters. The app remains a valuable tool for finding adoptable pets, but addressing these gaps could boost reliability and user satisfaction.

Pros

Easy to use and well organized interface.
Rich pet profiles with photos and descriptions (and sometimes videos).
Helps with adoption and connects users with ARL, supporting pet adoption.
Updates have improved performance, making the app faster and more reliable.

Cons

Notification feature removed or limited; users want multi-species notifications.
Inadequate or outdated animal information; missing important details; desire for up-to-date info and posting/arrival dates.
Occasional issues with contact information (phone number out of service).
Limited search/filters (e.g., gender and age).

Recent reviews

The app used to notify you if a certain breed of dog was available for adoption. This is no longer available so you have to constantly check the app which I don’t always have time to do. Before they changed the app, I would get a notification and immediately go to the app to check the dog out. Bring that option back please!

So I’m looking at cats and the small animals. I love how it’s organized. It’s nice to be able to “star” the ones that grab your attention and can come back to. It’s very easy to use and I’ve been very happy with it!
