Not happy with this product ### 1/5 — Me *2018-02-19* You have no honour ### 1/5 — Should have read the reviews *2017-11-26* Wasted my money. Just static. ### 1/5 — Does not work and comes with no directions. *2017-11-14* This app does not work at all. Directions would help. All I get is static. ### 1/5 — Farce *2017-08-23* The application is a farce, just noise ### 1/5 — Don't buy this app. *2017-08-15* Apple. Why are you allowing this app to be in the App Store? It doesn't work and is a paid app. Your team needs to take checking the quality (and in this case validity) of apps more seriously. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-05-15* I was very disappointed to have paid for an app that does nothing. Would like a refund. ### 1/5 — Anti Dog Barking *2017-04-11* Incensed the dogs even more. What a load of rubbish. Don't waste your money. Can't give minus stars as the app won't allow it. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2016-12-20* DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! This app has nothing to do with dogs or deterring barking, it's just a basic low end white noise generator. How was this app even approved?? ### 1/5 — Junk -Stay away *2016-07-20* Got it but is all static. Says if you want to spend another 3.00 to make it work even better. Yah right. Stay away total junk ### 1/5 — Anti-Dog Bark App *2016-07-04* This app misleads you to think it will help deter your dog from barking but all it is is an annoying noise worse than the barking dogs!!!! And then charge 6.20 on top of it!! This app should be removed. ### 1/5 — Dog bark *2016-06-28* All the stations sound like static doesn't work ### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER-Do not buy! *2016-05-12, version 1.8* Price of crap! Do not buy. The functionality is terrible. It does not provide any type or anti-bark frequency. Extremely glitchy. ### 1/5 — RIP OFF! *2016-04-14, version 1.7* TOTAL RIP OFF! GIMMICK WITH ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE! WASTE OF MONEY! Rated one star so people would know there are reviews to read ... Not even worthy of one star! ### 1/5 — Spammmmm *2016-04-09* The app doesn't do anything! Charged £3 for nothing, still full of adverts as well! Stupid design. Why can't we get a refund Apple???? ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of money *2016-02-08* Doesn't make any noise at all unless you "buy" something. I've paid for something I expect it to do something but it doesn't! ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2016-02-02, version 1.7* This app is garbage don't buy it. ### 1/5 — Stop dog barking sound frequency *2015-09-23* This is a horrible app. The sounds are just static, with very little difference in levels. The sound also will not stop when you hit the stop button. Waste of money:( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What? *2026-07-12* Doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-03-16* Fraud don’t work Don’t buy ### 1/5 — All static *2023-11-05* Needs instructions. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-04-24* Don’t buy this does not work at all.

Waste of money ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Poodle *2021-05-26* Frequency 3 worked almost instantly ! ### 5/5 — OMG *2015-03-07* No joke- my neighbours dog stopped barking 5 seconds after playing this! I should have bought this 3 hours ago!!! ### 5/5 — Works a treat *2012-06-19* Had a barking biting puppy problem, as soon as I used it she has complete changed she's a little scared but incredibly behaved!! Seems too good to be true ### 3/5 — Dr.Funkyman *2013-07-08, version 1.3* At first frequency 1 & 2 didn't work right away, frequency 3 made the dog next door, get it after 5 try's, the dog barks 1 time and he gets it. It works for me. I believe that dog gets punished every time he barks. Remember it takes a while for the dog to get it. Ya dig? ### 2/5 — Barking dog *2022-04-30* Doesn’t work. I upgraded and cost me less then $10. All the buttons don’t work ### 2/5 — Frequency 1works on German Shepherd *2014-09-30* On off buttons only work half the time on an iPhone4s. But when it does work, Frequency 1 has worked every time for the german shepherd next door, but I have to run out to the fence to turn it on, then turn it off when it stops barking, then turn it on if it barks one more time, so it works when those buttons work. Dog doesn't bark a third time. This ap needs an audio sensor that turns the noise on when the dog barks, so I don't have to run out and do it. There is another bark ap that does this. I would gladly put my phone on the fence for a while so the ap REALLY trains the dog more permanently! I've hooked the iPhone up to speakers at the fence line to increase the volume because it is not loud enough when the dog is on the other side of the yard. We'll see how that works. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
