4.6 out of 5
App is very weird

Looks like they took the template of a dating app and put it for dogs.. and ppl dating I guess. Great idea, bad app.

Nobody here

It feels like every single account belongs to someone who deleted Pawmates without deactivating it first. Literally NOBODY has any description written about them or their dog which is super important for a MEETUP app. Wasted a good chunk of time properly setting up my profile for zero return.

There needs to be a requirement for descriptions and also some sort of inactivity timer; without those, Pawmates is just dead.

No active users

And once you’ve gone through everyone it just reshaped you ones you’ve swiped left on.

Backyard breeders

Pawmates is mostly people looking to stud or breed their dogs. It’s illegal where I live. Shame on Pawmates for allowing it.

Useless

I went through the hassle of setting up my profile on this basic and poorly designed app, and when I went to check whether I had received any responses, because there’s been zero activity in the last 4 days, I was shown a new sign in page, and cannot sign in with my email, which is how I originally signed up. I wasted my time, and now I’m not certain whether the next time I sign up will stick. I also question what Pawmates is going to do with my data since I cannot shut down my account.

Secondly, why doesn’t there show more owner info for safety reasons? Who wants to meet up when you aren’t even taking safety protocols like verifying the owners gender, age etc? I personally don’t want to start chatting with an owner for a dog date only to find it’s some creepy guy trying to sleep with me through a dog app. There’s so much education around the issues women in particular have with these, why not make this safe since you encourage owners to meet up?

Can't get past the photo upload.

I've chosen a couple pics but there's isn't a way to choose to proceed.

My opinion:

It’s a fun game and all basically like tinder for dogs, But i haven’t gotten any matches yet so i just started swiping right on everyone hoping to get a match , still haven’t🙄

Also it keeps saying i live in toronto but i don’t? I try to change it but i can’t i just want to find a app thats like tinder but for dogs 🥱 like i want my dog to find love not a play date or be lonely her whole little life 🤷🏻‍♀️

No activity

Ive been on it for a week and theres absolutely nobody active. At least not within 60 miles of my location because that’s how far out I’ve gone now.

Can’t even start

Can’t even get passed the sign in won’t let me scroll or continue.

Oof :/

I cant really do anything

Dog owner

Pawmates seems fine but there’s no one on it in my area… the only filter I set was “large” and male” even with a 50 mile radius in a major city.

Cute app but…

This is a cute app! But I get logged out every day

Great idea but more features needed

The sign-up is easy and simple. Browsing dogs is perfect as can be. I wish there were more possible features added such as questions on likes and dislikes, or some multiple choice questions to help bring out the personality description in your dog instead of having to write that ourselves. Currently, there aren’t many users since Pawmates is still growing but I can see the getting plenty of attention as more people use it.
