Looks fun, addicting and useful! Downloading now!

Thanks for your feedback!

Great suggestion - thanks!

Great suggestion - we will put this info in the FAQ. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. There is also a code on the tag that you can text to get info about the dog and also texts the owner. We are still working out the bugs on this though... But maybe I should add to FAQ on website?

Does the size of that device bother you or the dogs? My dog would not be okay with that haha.

-Thanks for your feedback - yes to BLE! -we are still negotiating larger scale manufacturing but that is the ideal. -One example of an in-app purchase would be optional tools to organize your dog's life and changing the color of the LED, etc.

What font do you think would work better?

Yes you control the LED colors and you can turn it on whenever - great idea for camping! If you're a dog owner I'd love more of your input maggie@play-tag.com

Exactly - We are rolling out more sensors that interact with you and your dogs daily life! would love to get more of your input on this.

Would that other thing go on a dog collar? : /

Also the only feature that requires this is for the health info of the dog which is stored on the cloud - all other features do not require cell phone service.

So pricey though, and there is a subscription fee. Not to mention the hassle of recharging for 24+ hrs.

I hear ya but check out the crowd sourcing feature where other app users can pick up the location of you dog & get a monetary reward. If you're a dog owner, I would love to get more of your input - maggie@play-tag.com

The cool thing about this too is the user (dog owner) can set a reward for the finder, with this non-dog owners will get on board with the app too!

Exactly! Thanks so much for the input, these is exactly the sort of things that our team is thinking too. Would love to hear more input of yours and chat - email maggie@play-tag.com

Cool! Thanks!

GPS would make the product cost twice as much - and we want to make this accessible to more dog owners. Perhaps version two though! Thanks for your input.

We do have a base station coming out in the next few months! It is called "Play-tag: home base"

We were thinking about crowd sourcing, but still on the fence. What's your thought on it?

It does reduced slightly with objects in the way. Perfect for dog parks, etc.
