App Profile: Gotcha! Lost & Found App

Love the concept. The app worked fine for me, I was able to enter everything and I was notified the instant I scanned the tag. What needs improvement is the location of your pet. It shows a stagnant map with an indistinct location. The map should be connected to the Apple Maps so we can chase down our pets or capture the phone number so we can contact them (if possible). If my indoor kitty is lost I would knock on a door to get him back. Too many cases of people adopting out a found kitty vs. taking them to be scanned for a chip so they may be returned to their families.

My wife purchased a Gotcha! Tag and registered it. When I try to scan it will not work. At all. I thought it may need some time to activate so I waited a week. It still won’t work. I thought that maybe the registration didn’t work so I created a new account and tried to register it, but it had already been registered. I now believe the company is a complete fraud.

After much hassle I finally got a registration to take and all my data input properly. However when I test it by scanning the tag it apparently doesn’t report back to the company that a scan has happened. The location link to Google map doesn’t really do anything. Fortunately if someone finds my service dog now at least they can scan and get the information to contact me directly. A heck of a lot of work and expense when it doesn’t really do much more than the metal tag with my phone number on it. Oh - and the collar that the tag was originally attached to broke. The tag was attached by a tiny bit of rubber or plastic that didn’t survive the first test. Bought a new, better collar of a different brand.
