Expensive

It was good but you need to pay premium membership to get more than one scan sure it tells you about dog breeds but you can only scan one dog and after that no more scans so would not recommend.

Brilliant

LOVE it! Very funny and takes great pics

Response from developer

Hi there, sorry to hear you're having trouble taking photos. To keep your photos secure, DogCam uses your phone's built-in photo library to store any photos and videos taken with the app. In order for this to work, you'll need to allow permission for the app to save your photos to the photo library. You can update your photo library permissions by going to Settings > DogCam > Photos. If you're still having trouble getting photos to save please do get in touch at dogcam@shipyardstudios.io as I'd love to help fix this for you. - Mike

Scam

This app was a free app called Dog Cam, no doubt designed to get people using it; now, it's changed to Dog Scanner and want $39 per year...

No thanks

Response from developer

Hi there, sorry to hear you've been unable to access some features of DogCam. The free version of the app includes several free sounds, unlimited photo / video capture and limited monthly breed scans. These features have always been and remain to be completely free to use. If you are having trouble accessing these features compared to previous versions then please do get in touch at dogcam@shipyardstudios.io as this is not expected and we want to help fix this.ย 

Great for pets and babies too

I have an over active dog and this helps so much to get his attention. Iโ€™ve gotten SO MANY cute pics with this app. Oh and it also works great with my 3 month old as well.

Response from developer

So happy to hear your dog loves DogCam! We have no doubt they're a very good doggo, even if they are a little zoomy.

This is amazing ๐Ÿ˜‚

Perfect pictures of my dogs and a place to store all my photos. Such a novel idea well executed!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your review. So happy to hear you're enjoying the app as your dogs deserve to have their best angle captured! - Mike (DogCam founder)

Canโ€™t get to open

When I open this app there is a very large text box wanting permission to access my library. I canโ€™t move the screen to scroll to accept nor change the size of the text. So no idea how this app is as I canโ€™t access it at all!

Response from developer

Hi there, sorry to hear you're having trouble taking photos. To keep your photos secure, DogCam uses your phone's built-in photo library to store any photos and videos taken with the app. In order for this to work, you'll need to allow at least 'Limited' permission for the app to save your photos to your photo library. 'Limited' permission allows you to choose exactly which photos DogCam has access to (you don't have to select any at all), but also allows the app to save photos to your library. You can update your photo library permissions to 'Limited' by going to Settings > DogCam > Photos. If you don't want to allow any access to your photo library, you should still be able to access the app, but the camera screen won't be accessible as it requires the ability to at least save photos to your photo library. If you're still having trouble getting past the permissions setup then please do get in touch at dogcam@shipyardstudios.io as I'd love to help fix this for you. - Mike

Doesn't work

I allowed this app all the permissions and it will not take a photo. I've tried everything and it will not capture a photo when I push the button. There is also no place for options. It won't let me click anything on the screen.

Hi there, sorry to hear you're having trouble saving photos. Please do get in touch at dogcam@shipyardstudios.io as I'd love to better understand what you're experiencing so I can help fix this for you. - Mike

Doesnโ€™t work

It doesnโ€™t take photos or video at all!

No

I donโ€™t think you need a different app to take a photo of your dog personally my camera works perfectly fine

Response from developer

Happy to hear the default camera is working great for you and your dog. This isnโ€™t the case for all dogs so your dog must be a particularly good dog. We applaud them ๐Ÿ‘

It donโ€™t work

Bad app

Response from developer

Hey, sorry to hear youโ€™ve had a bad experience with the app. Can I ask what exactly didnโ€™t work for you? Was the app itself broken or did your dog just not react to the sounds?

Works great ๐Ÿ˜Š

Works fine no problems!

Great photos but where are they?

As others have said - the photos arenโ€™t saved anywhere.

Response from developer

So glad to hear you're impressed with the app! Looks like you missed off a few stars when leaving the rating though so I can only assume your doggo was pawing at your phone. - Mike (DogCam founder)

Really good but where the photos go? ๐Ÿค”

This is really good app especially if you are a groomer as me. But the main question is, where the photo get save???? I was trying this and I was like omg the dogs like this and I took a lot of pic. When I went to see them all, there where no photo.

Donโ€™t upgrade

Having sampled the free sounds I opted to purchase the sound pack. Much to my disappointment this was certainly not worth it, the best sounds are included fee unless you want 20 different poor quality barks with the added bonus of a pig, cow and lion

Bought pack too

What a great app. Couldnโ€™t stop laughing with all the sounds and expressions I get with my dogs and clients dogs. Well worth getting.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the review, glad to hear you and your many doggos are enjoying DogCam! - Mike (DogCam founder)

Brilliant App

At last I can get photos of my two dogs, one of whom is a Black Poodle in perfection by them looking at the camera instead of turning their heads at the vital moment

Moo-Moo

My JRT Moo hates having her photo taken this app is perfect, I don't write reviews it's not my thing, but for the first time in 9 years, I have a picture of her full face on looking at the camera.

Well done app developers you know, your dogs especially the awkward one's ๐Ÿ˜Š

Dog Cam

My dog totally ignored it, no matter how high I had the sound up!

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear your dog is ignoring the sounds. This must mean that they are an extra good doggo, we applaud them for their resistance! If you have any suggestions of sounds that would be more likely to get a reaction from your dog then please do get in touch at dogcam@shipyardstudios.io as I'm always looking for new sounds to add to the app! - Mike (DogCam founder)
