Pls ty (not forcing creators too) ### 4/5 — Overall good but one problem. *2025-11-01, version 13.3.1* The problem is it crashes every time I try to open it but I get to post my cats and have followers. ### 1/5 — N importe quoi *2025-10-27, version 13.3.1* Franchement du grand n importe quoi ! Ça marche pas du tout ### 3/5 — Прикольно *2025-10-17, version 13.3.1* Норм норм ### 1/5 — Nicht ernsthaft zur Bestimmung geeignet *2025-09-29, version 13.3.1* Hat bei unseren Rassekatzen völlig andere Rassen identifiziert. Nicht im geringsten erkannt ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-09-02, version 13.2.2* Did not fo anything ### 2/5 — Pas fiable *2025-08-16, version 12.0.3* J’ai scanner mon Angora Turc pour voir si l’application fonctionne bien, pour connaître la race de mon deuxième chat (noir avec un point blanc a peine visible, sur le torse) mais le scanne ma répondu à côté de la plaque… pas fiable ### 1/5 — 使い方わからん *2025-07-19, version 12.0.0* 慣れればいいのかな ### 1/5 — “Tabby cat” is not a breed *2025-07-03, version 12.0.0* Told me my cat is a tabby. That’s not a breed. Had to watch the longest ad I’ve ever seen for a game app before it would show me anything about the “other” breeds it thought were relevant. ### 4/5 — Its really good but a few things… *2025-06-29, version 12.0.0* It keeps on glitching. Please can you fix that? ### 2/5 — Great idea but *2025-06-13, version 12.0.0* The app may have been accurate but it kept shutting down while I was reading the results. I guess I’ll never know ### 4/5 — Y’all don’t believe the false comments about this app this app is wonderful! *2025-05-28, version 12.0.0* This app is just wonderful! You can post to other people , find the breed of your cat which is quite accurate and enjoy the app! Do not believe the lie comments, this is the best app in the universe! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — My lap is mixed breed *2026-06-05, version 13.3.1* Just for s&g’s i took a picture of my lap and it told me it was a mixed breed. I assumed the app was trash and I was proven wrong! I’ve been petting my mixed breed lap for 2 hours and things are starting to get real. ### 1/5 — No. Just No *2026-05-17, version 13.3.1* Uploaded several photos but the app wouldn’t use them. Had to do a scan. I guess this function only works if you pay, but that is not indicated. After being forced to watch a long ad for a video game that it wouldn’t let me exit out of unless I bought the game (had to close app and open it again to get results) it identified my cat by her coloring as if it were a breed. Tortoiseshell isn’t a breed, and I didn’t need an app to tell me her coloring. So, beyond not trusting this apps basic function, getting it to work with all the pop up ads aggressively trying to get me to upgrade or buy games before I could even explore the basic features, was a real turn off. ### 1/5 — nein *2026-05-14, version 13.3.1* jedes mal was anderes ### 1/5 — Katze als Hund erkannt *2026-04-24, version 13.3.1* Völliger Schrott. Mein Kater wurde als Hund erkannt. Vllt ist die gekaufte Version besser, aber die kostenfreie ist einfach nur Scam. Bin mir zu 100% sicher, dass ich eine Katze und keinen Hund habe! Der angebliche Hund miaut auch und schaut 0,0 wie ein Hund aus 😂 ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-03-21, version 13.3.1* Inaccurate ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-02-15, version 13.3.1* This app doesn’t even allow you to read up on your cat after scanning.It goes straight to an ad, and you cant go back unless you download whatever app they want you to see.. ### 1/5 — Guessing game *2026-01-04, version 13.3.1* I posted pics of my Bengal cats and they did not identify them ### 1/5 — FULL OF ADDS!! *2025-12-31, version 13.3.1* There are way too many adds to the point you cannot do anything. ### 1/5 — Horrible sexualized AI ads *2025-12-06, version 13.3.1* This is rated 4+ and immediately some gross AI girlfriend ad popped up! Do better . ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-12-06, version 13.3.1* Cette application est nul J ai scanner mon chat ( européen croisé Maine Coon) et il m’a dit que c’était un Tabby avec du Bengal et du Européen Donc je met quand même 1 étoile mais bon… Et en plus il y a plein de pubs ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It works *2026-03-09, version 13.3.1* I used this while I watched cats 101 and I got interested and tried it and was astonished ### 5/5 — Horrible *2026-02-10, version 13.3.1* My cat is a siammess and it said it was a tabby ### 5/5 — All I ever wanted *2025-08-28, version 13.2.2* I’ve always wanted to know my cats breeds….this is amazing! It is quite accurate, I searched the breed up and it was exactly like my cat. I can not believe one of my cats is a Russian blue! Most of my cats are mixed breeds. People saying the chat says bad stuff are wrong, the only topic in chat is cats, and everyone is really nice. Download this if you want to know your cats breed. It works. You just have to make your cat sit still 😅 which is hard. It’s also free which is AMAZING 🤩. When you get your cats breed you don’t have to post it ether. You don’t even have to do anything in chat. This is a very awesome game and I recommend it to anyone who has cats and can’t figure out there breed. 99% right most of the time. This app is Amazing. Get now. This is one of the few apps I’ve tried that are actually not a scam 😅😊love this app. ### 5/5 — It’s so good *2025-08-27, version 13.2.2* I love it!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-03, version 12.0.0* It’s amazing not only does it actually get the scan it’s a great way to get to know your cats breed i use this whenever I want to know a cat’s breed A+ app for me ### 5/5 — above expectations *2025-07-22, version 12.0.0* i have several different identification applications and all are less than mediocre and leave a lot to be desired….this app is actually incredible and even goes into the gene makeup of different breeds. i was super impressed and was not expecting such complexity. cat scanner is a stellar identification app. i have recommended this application to so many and will continue to do so! ### 5/5 — Cat Scanner *2025-05-03, version 12.0.0* I love s game so much!!!!!!
