Helpful App

The illustrations are very cute and the advice is sound. A couple of points of feedback to the designer: there are a couple of proof-reading errors and the quiz could be more comprehensive.

Good content but far too glitchy

I’m finding the content useful user-friendly, but the glitches are maddening, bordering on unusable. It won’t let me look at more than one or two poses before glitching - content is slow to refresh, but even if you wait for all the icon images to load on the screen there’s no guarantee that when you click on a body language or greeting option you won’t be faced with a blank screen—one that not only never loads, but doesn’t allow you to return to the menu screen. The only way to select another option is to close the app and reopen it. Every single time you want to select a new option to learn about.

Super buggy, keeps freezing/crashing

I have to delete and reinstall the app every time I want to move from one description to the next

Excellent resource for dog communication!

Anyone who lives with a dog needs to get this app. So helpful and easy to understand. We monkeys really struggle with the beautiful communication from our canine friends so this makes it so much easier! Can’t recommend enough!

Requesting a refund

I was expecting this to have more useful info. This is all fairly obvious dog body language

Not worth it.

The creator of this app is known to steal the intellectual property of other smaller pet care/training businesses. It’s not worth supporting someone who believes that they are entitled to other people’s labour.

Crashed

Crashed never to return

Want to like but some issues.

I purchased this app after reading an article by the app author that I that was really helpful. Unfortunately, the app does not load images or descriptions for all of the entries. I’m frustrated that I paid $3.99 and it does not do what it claims to do. Please update the app or refund purchases.

Homeopathic scam pusher

Changed and downgraded my review as dog decoder has turned into anti vets pro homeopathic scams and I want no part of them using behaviour education to further those scams. I can no longer trust what they say

Dog Listening

As a professional dog trainer I recommend this app to people all the time. As humans that choose to bring dogs into our lives we should learn as much about what our dogs are saying as possible to improve everyone’s quality of life. This app lets you discover some often overlooked body language that dogs use to communicate with us. The breakdowns of every signal are well explained and the illustrations by Lili Chin are easy to relate to & remember.
