Update made it worse. New update was pushed today and now none of my favorites or saved rescues are available. My profile won't update. And I'm getting error messages. Uninstalled for now

Loved the app till the last updated, removed features on how to show the range of distance you can look up pets in for example. Removed it. Sad!

2025 Review Update: Even worse than ever. PLEASE, PETFINDER! READ your reviews! Your app needs complete overhaul! 2023: I detest using this app, have for years, and it's never improved, only gotten worse. Searching is impossible: enter location, then enter what you're searching for & location disappears, then vice versa. Searches yield irrelevant results. It's heavily glitched and it's really a shame for homeless animals and rescue groups who really need a dependable and consistent finder app.
