"Good and Bad... This device worked well when on a Verizon carrier but when the service moved to an alternate carrier: It SUCKS! It only tracks when on WiFi and very rarely registers via GPS. I regret renewing."

"I have two of these and the connection is always dropping, data won`t sync. If this is what it`s like during a trial I definitely won`t be paying for a plan. It was great until I set up a second one. The app should be able to sync to multiple devices without constant issues."

"Health ratings way off for my dog. He`s a licker of people, furniture, other dogs, yet I get messages that he has a skin infection. He`s very healthy. I like the tracking service, but not the health service."

"the app is so easy to use and customer service is awesome!! I live in the country so there`s times I can`t track him, just spins..but I haven`t contacted support to see if it can be fixed. I`ve had it for 9 months & this just recently became an issue. in the beginning it done really good but lately it isn`t doing good at all but again I feel that it`s something that can be fixed when I ask for help. the reason for 4 stars is battery life. I only get 1-2 days and I have settings set to conserve."

"I have changed this I had downgraded it to a 1 star because the last update made it crash and they immediately replied and fixed it! Literally overnight! It is so fun to see how far out puppy goes. It`s not perfect it registers something she does as other things. But we get so much enjoyment out of it!"

"This started out perfect, never had an issue. It seems like recently I`m unable to activate the light on the device unless I force quit the app and reset Bluetooth (not sure if an update did this or my phone is being weird). Tracking sometimes lags and doesn`t give me the most accurate information, but I still like it overall."

"This product is horrible. Take today for instance, I get an email that my dog was several streets away, escaped his ``safety zone``. I leave work and waste a half days pay to come home and find he is still inside our house. Seriously!! How does this even happen. Also, we drop him off at doggy daycare. It dosent notify that he is that far away from home. It`s not marked as a safe place. When we try to track, it takes 4 minutes to find him. How sad."

"It saves activities time and dates, distance traveled. It uses Google maps. It`s a little frustrating in the beginning but if you do you best filling out the info the app asks for It`s very easy to change it later on. It takes time to update but don`t worry close the app and start it again. Once you start using it things just fall into place. I paid for the 1 year service plan @ $99. I think it will be well worth it. I hope they add the ability to add pictures to the time line."

"This app is useful maybe 25% of the time. I`m writing this as I am in the process of looking for one of my lost dogs with my Father, for our pet who has a Whistle tracker. It does not use GPS, and if it does it`s a terrible setup. The last ping for the tracker on our dog was 5-6 hours ago about .3 miles away. When we try and update the tracking on our phones it loads and loads and loads for no update or anything and still says it was last pinged 5-6 hours ago. There`s better apps."

"Having been a Whistle customer for about 7 years, using Whistle to boundary train 4 Great Pyrenees and living at the end of the perverbial dirt road in the middle of a 1 million acre forest I can honestly say Whistle has truly improved over the years. Battery life has improved tremendously, even Wifi and cell pick up have improved . Blue tooth was a great addition. My only suggestion(s) would be the ability to change the opening screen when opening the app so it goes directly to ``location``."

"Still really glitchy, lots of issues with connecting to wifi and finding the device. Most annoying, though, is that EVERY time you change tabs, the app gives you a pop-up if you don`t have a subscription. I don`t want one, I just use it for activity tracking. My dogs are trained, I don`t need GPS on dogs who won`t run away. It helps keep me active with my dogs, that`s all. If I want a subscription, I`ll buy one. Harassing me just guarantees I`ll do business with someone else."

"Used to be good but latest app has KILLED my phone`s battery when family trips is on. I have to restrict battery usage to the whistle app but now I don`t have family trips anymore so I get notifications that my dogs are away from home areas, which then drains the whistle batteries."

"The idea is sound, but half the time my Whistle doesn`t track my dog`s activities and I get no wellness score despite keeping the device charged and on. I`d also like to see more of a spectrum than 3 colors representing good, okay, or bad."

DESCRIPTION
Care for your pet like never before with this companion app for Whistle smart devices, including Whistle Fit™, Whistle GO Explore™, Whistle Switch™, and our new Whistle Health™.
Since your pet can’t tell you where they are or how they’re feeling, we created the next best thing—a smart device that makes it easy to track and monitor your pet’s health, fitness, gps location**, and so much more—all from one easy-to-use app!
WHAT DOES A WHISTLE SMART DEVICE DO?
Whistle smart devices give you a 360º view of your pet’s overall health by tracking and monitoring their unique health-related behaviors, fitness, GPS location**, and more—right from the Whistle app. You’ll get actionable science-backed insights that are unique to your pet, so you can make smart, informed decisions for your furry family member.
*Health Trends*
Your Whistle smart device tracks your pet’s scratching, licking, sleeping, eating, drinking, and overall Wellness Score. If changes in their patterns might point to potential health issues, you’ll get notified so you can take action.
*GPS Location Tracking*
GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks work together to inform you of your pet’s location at all times.
*Customizable Safe Places*
Create boundaries for your pet’s Safe Place locations. Plus, you can manage multiple Safe Places for home, office, or your favorite dog-friendly spots (Wi-Fi is required).
*Escape Alerts*

*Activity Tracking*
Help your pet get the exercise they need with customized fitness goals based on their breed, age, and weight. Know your pet’s calories burned, distance traveled, minutes active, and more.
*Celebrate Achievements*
Earn badges when your pet meets daily activity goals, reaches new milestones, hits a new winning streak, and much more. Achievements are a fun way to look back and celebrate your hard work together!
*Ask a vet*

RECENT CHANGES
This release is all about notifications!
You can now control notifications per pet. For example, you can have your neighbor's dog in your app and turn off prompts to walk them or charge their Whistle battery.
Journaling has been a huge hit. You can now receive a reminder to journal on a schedule you choose.
Finally, notifications for non-critical things will now only come during the daytime.
