Common questions

Is my phone number or address shown?

No. The alert shows the area only, and people message you inside the app.

How do QR tags work?

Activate a tag with the code on it and choose your pet. Whoever finds your pet scans it and can reach you without seeing your number.

Someone is sending me junk or being unkind.

Report or block them from the message or alert menu. Blocked people can’t message you, and they’re not told.

What does Protect add?

A wider alert radius, a boost for your alert, and more than one alert at a time. You can cancel any time in Google Play.

How do I change my password or email, or delete my account?

In the app: Account, then Manage account. Or on the web at the a-Paw account page. Deleting removes your account and what you added, in every a-Paw app.

How do I contact you?

In the app: Account, then Contact support. A real person reads every message. Or email support@spot-a-paw.com.
