User reviews

Useful info but app sucks

Too many bugs and glitches. Information is useful but app freezes or glitches every time you use it. Not worth the $.

Great app

This is a great app for dog owners/handlers to better understand dog communication with people and other dogs

So-so

So GLITCHY! Impossible to use the app normally, it would get frozen, blank screen, not responding… ugh

Helpful App

The illustrations are very cute and the advice is sound. A couple of points of feedback to the designer: there are a couple of proof-reading errors and the quiz could be more comprehensive.

Good content but far too glitchy

I’m finding the content useful user-friendly, but the glitches are maddening, bordering on unusable. It won’t let me look at more than one or two poses before glitching - content is slow to refresh, but even if you wait for all the icon images to load on the screen there’s no guarantee that when you click on a body language or greeting option you won’t be faced with a blank screen—one that not only never loads, but doesn’t allow you to return to the menu screen. The only way to select another option is to close the app and reopen it. Every single time you want to select a new option to learn about.
