I don't normally write reviews. Anyway there's way to many adds and you have to pay for nearly everything. And the app lags so much. Thanks for reading my review. P.S. To the app please fix this for me to bump the stars up to 4 or 5. Have a nice day **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for taking the time to write this, and we really appreciate your kindness in giving us 2 stars! We completely understand your frustration with the ads and premium features. We try our best to balance offering free tools with the costs of developing and maintaining the app. The great news about the lag is that our newest update includes major under-the-hood fixes to make the app run much faster and smoother! Please update to the latest version and give it another spin. We hope to earn those 4 or 5 stars from you. Have a wonderful day! ❤️ ### 2/5 — Badish *2026-05-17, version 1.1.11* Annoying please fix that you have to get premium for EVERYTHING ### 3/5 — Dog lover *2026-05-01, version 1.1.9* I tried this app. The reviews were good, but I don’t think my dog understand it. ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2026-03-15, version 1.1.9* It’s not working at all!!! I got two dogs and they both didn’t move or gave me any knowledge about the sound… ### 1/5 — Bunch of junk *2026-03-11, version 1.1.9* I don’t know how this works, but it seems to me it doesn’t. It may work on some breeds of dogs, but it didn’t work for mine, so I wouldn’t press the get button if I were you. ### 4/5 — I can’t find the translator *2026-02-27, version 1.1.7* I can’t find the translator ### 2/5 — I recommend not getting this.. *2026-02-25* I don’t think you should get this app because every 4 minutes a pop-up will pop-up and will say to get premium and the close button is in the corner and is hidden also very dark to blend in with the background I don’t suggest getting this app **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We use ads to support the development of the free version. Sorry to hear it didn't work for you! We appreciate you trying the app more, even if it wasn't the right fit for you this time. ### 3/5 — Good stuff *2026-01-31, version 1.1.7* I think this app is really cool I would recommend downloading but I think there should be more emotions that’s all ### 1/5 — Trash and needs cash *2026-01-28, version 1.1.7* Every single time i use it a get a add its really annoying im off to go find another app ### 4/5 — Good app, but not if you don’t wanna spend money *2026-01-18* The app is really good. I don’t wanna spend any money so you can do a lot of stuff without spending money like translating dog and cat but something you really need to pay for to do. It’s a good app. I would recommend getting it. But be careful. I asked you a lot if you want to spend money. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! So glad you are enjoying the app and finding it useful. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-07, version 1.1.7* It doesn’t accualy translate anything,and if I could do 0 stars I would 👎 ### 2/5 — There is a add every time you click something *2026-01-03* The translator does not work and the sound to make your dog stop barking does not work and so many #*$% adds! There is an add every 10 seconds unless you pay terrible app. The idea of the game is not fun itself **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We use ads to support the development of the free version. Sorry to hear it didn't work for you! We appreciate you trying the app more, even if it wasn't the right fit for you this time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is the worst *2026-08-18, version 1.2.3* It won’t actually even work and I saw an ad that says for free and it meets makes me try to pay make me pay and it makes me pay for more translations and makes me pay for more like communicator ### 1/5 — Bad experience *2026-08-14, version 1.2.3* Bad app. I translated hi and do you want a treat but it came out the same. My dog always ended up staring at me. ### 1/5 — This doesn’t work!!!!! *2026-07-03, version 1.2.0* This app got my freaking hopes up so I got it and I tried it and my pet did literally nothing ### 1/5 — Omg no these adds *2026-07-01, version 1.1.12* Every time you press a button there’s adds add after add after add it say to pay 35 dollars a month there’s not even a no button. This app sucks. Don’t recommend ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work… *2026-06-16* So when I open the app, it immediately bombards me with an ad. It is annoying because it always redirects you to another website that tries to steal your information. When I try to do the cat translator, it makes me either buy an overpriced subscription or has another ad. I haven’t tried the dog translator, because I have already deleted the app. Total scam. **Developer response:** Hello! We want to reassure you immediately that our app is 100% safe, verified by Apple, and does NOT steal your information. What you experienced was a standard third-party advertisement, which we use so we can offer the app's features completely for free! As you noticed, we give users the choice: you can either unlock the cat translator for free by watching an ad, or you can choose the optional premium subscription for an ad-free experience. We are constantly monitoring our ad networks to block spammy advertisers, so your feedback is noted, but we promise your data is completely secure! ### 1/5 — Don’t download this app *2026-05-26, version 1.1.12* Don’t download this app it won’t let me do anything. It won’t let me translate a human to a pet which you’re supposed to do. It says that I need to pay like five dollars a day. Don’t download this app. ### 1/5 — Why did I think even believe this *2026-05-11, version 1.1.11* So this sucks because I am trying to tell my cat a value him and it ONLY lets you type like 10 letters and EVERY TIME I translate something I need to watch a add thats like 3 minutes long just saying,if you consider waisting money on this garbage please,reconsider and don’t listen to good 5-star reviews because it might be a developer! ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-05-10, version 1.1.11* I can only translate once and the mic and hear correctly ### 1/5 — I can’t use it? It has to pay ur lucky I couldn’t do a 0 star review *2026-05-04, version 1.1.9* Lucky ### 1/5 — My opinion *2026-03-17, version 1.1.9* It had to many adds an it was inaccurate ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-23, version 1.3.0* Cat and dog I have both of them ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-12, version 1.2.1* Cat and dog I have both of them ### 5/5 — The only problem is adds *2026-07-10* Adds are annoying but is good otherwise **Developer response:** Thank you so much!

And I speak. Spoke to my cat, and I said, don't worry about the dog and they were like right up to the gate and were watching him. It works. Again, please download. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We are thrilled to hear you’re finding the app fun and helpful.
