It doesn’t work at all and is really hard to control. The only thing that meows (for me) is the cats advertised on the screen and you can tap them for a meow related to the picture. DO NOT DOWNLOAD UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME. ### 1/5 — Not very good *2023-06-11, version 3.5* It does not work 🤨 ### 1/5 — No *2023-05-29, version 3.5* This just scared my cat and sounded terrible ### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish *2023-04-28, version 2.5* It just looks like they want access to microphone for whatever intruding privacy reason I’ve tried talking into the mic and it doesn’t seem to do much. You basically pick a cat and no matter what I say, they make the same noises Deleted ### 1/5 — Did not work wouldn’t let me press record so don’t buy this app it doesn’t work *2023-02-23, version 2.5* Bad ### 2/5 — ₣₳₭Ɇ!!!! *2023-01-23, version 2.5* I know this app is fake one: it does not translate to your cat two: your cat will be SCARED three: this app will scam you four: THIS APP IS FAKE!!! ### 1/5 — 0 out of 5 *2022-12-30, version 2.4* My cat was more interested in a wall than the app your better off whith a dog or a plant to talk to cat’s ### 2/5 — OK, so this is a scam *2022-11-11, version 2.4* OK, so first off I love how you guys are trying but like you know making all those pictures but like it should say what they mean like for example, the cat in the cage eating the bird I’m guessing? I don’t know what it means but yeah and also I have tried to communicate with both of my two cats and they will is not listen or they scratch me and I do not like the fact that like when I download the game it has a ton of stuff but then literally the next day it all goes away, so yeah if you’re deciding to do this game or if you already have it, I would suggest that you just delete it ### 1/5 — Purr = scratch *2022-10-17, version 2.4* First of all when I put the angry meow she purrs I was confused and two seconds after that the cat start hissing not only that when I put the purring sound it scratched me. This is only good if you want to DIE to your cat. ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2022-10-09, version 2.4* Don’t work,don’t work,don’t work!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Record doesn’t work at all!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡DONT GET,ITS A BIG BALL OF FAKE,AND LIES😡😡😡😡😡😡tbh I saw the reviews and I bought it anyways,I need to look at the reviews before I buy cause I never do that🫤. Anyways,don’t buy this big LIE😡your gonna regret it ### 1/5 — 1 star *2022-08-17, version 1.8* I do not recommend this app my cat is just hissing terrible app do not download ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-07-05, version 1.8* But sounded amazing so I would not recommend this app NICE TRY, HEHEEH ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work. But nice try! *2022-05-14, version 1.8* I downloaded this app because I have a really talkative cat. It did not work when I tried. She just walked right past me. And when I pressed record it could not stop recording! So I am pretty sorry to say it does not work. But if it did it would be very interesting! ### 2/5 — Very Disappointed. 😠 *2022-04-30, version 1.8* I got this app thinking I could actually TALK to my cat, but apparently it’s a GAME. And I tried to do the speaker, but it didn’t even work! If you want a game that is supposed to sound like a cat, than you can get this game. But if you want something that lets you SPEAK to your cat, than get another game! If I had wanted a game like this, I probably wouldn’t have deleted the app, but I want to be able to talk with our cat. ### 1/5 — FAKE!!!😡😡😡 *2022-04-04, version 1.8* For you good people. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scammer *2025-08-06, version 3.5* I got scammed for this game 🤬 ### 1/5 — NEVER INSTALL THIS APP!!! *2025-07-06, version 3.5* I tried this on my cat ignoring the comments and I regret it so bad! My cat is usually not disturbed by anything but when I tried this he acted like a maniac ! As if possessed! He was acting so strange and started hissing! I have no idea what this thing is saying to my cat but it is definitely not good!!! Pls don’t download this app!!do it for your cat!!!!! [•_•] ### 1/5 — 😡😡😡 *2025-02-20, version 3.5* I would 1000% not recommend this app it is such a scam there is literally no point at all. It doesn’t make since either. I got this app for probably the same reason you got this app and I was very very disappointed when I didn’t get the results I wanted there is no point on this app so I definitely don’t think you should waste your time like when I wasted my time on this app ### 1/5 — how does it work *2025-02-02* idk how to use it ### 1/5 — Terrible😡🤬🤬 *2025-01-25, version 3.5* The record butten doesn't even work! I tried it on my cats an never worked! Just a total waste of your time. Wish I never downloaded it and it got tooken down. The emojis don't make any since, don't even know what they mean. Just all nonsince, an o e of the WORST apps I have ever had. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE🤬🤬🤬😡😡 *2024-11-09, version 3.5* I tried to use the speaker and it wouldn’t even let me it said turn off mute button and I had it off so this might be a glitch or a bug, but I really hope that it doesn’t work for everybody because if it works for everybody else except for me then it might just be my phone, but I don’t like this game. I downloaded it and yeah it’s horrible so if you see this review well read this review before you download the game because it is horrible. I tried to use those little emojis of cats and it didn’t work. She just sat there looking out the window so yeah it’s a horrible game one star for this game😡😡 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-08-29, version 3.5* This game is horrible. Kid doesn’t even listen to it. ### 1/5 — Got my cat scared *2024-07-17, version 3.5* I got this app for my cat and one day I recorded and said hi And then I said come here and he came here and I said do you understand what I am saying to you and then he got scared and looked at me weird and ran out the window and came back with another cat so I said why are you here to the cat and it hissed at me and then it’s tail went up and it’s furr stood up and I shut the door and it tried to attack me through the door and it kept smashing to the door so I said stop on it and then my cat kept trying to attack me too then on facbok someone posted and said I found a cat is it someone’s and I said yes that my cat so then I got him and I tryed to pet him and he got scared but the he got happy so if you want to scar your cat and another random cat and get attacked by cats the you should get this app and other people are saying too there cats are scared I’m sorry if this is bad I do not know English good. ### 1/5 — It is horrible *2024-04-19, version 3.5* It is just horrible ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-10-01, version 3.5* The cat is now running away from me, and is quite obviously distressed.
