Ein paar der Funktionen (aufnehmen von Befehlen) macht aus Trainingsperspektive für mich keinen Sinn, dafür gibt es an anderen Stellen manchmal komische Probleme. So kann man beispielsweise keine Musik hören während die App im Hintergrund läuft weil die Soundqualität absolut furchtbar ist. Beim Aufnehmen und Abhören von Sprachnachrichten das gleiche Problem. Grundsätzlich aber eine zuverlässige und solide App, besonders wenn man nicht mehr aktiv im Training ist sondern nur pro forma aufzeichnen will ob der Hund mal Geräusche macht **Developer response:** Hallo!

The dog monitor device keeps disconnecting when it’s monitoring. ### 5/5 — Great app - does what it says!! *2025-03-13, version 5.1.0* Great app - does what it says!! ### 4/5 — Dog monitor *2025-02-27, version 5.1.0* Easy to operate. Good clear pictures. Very happy with this app ### 5/5 — Jill D *2025-02-08, version 5.1.0* Super reliable app ### 5/5 — It’s great for the price *2025-02-05, version 5.1.0* I do wish it wouldn’t stop playing if we go into another app but it’s amazing for the price. You get what you pay for 🤪 I’m just happy I can check on my daughter I hate leaving her 🐩 ### 5/5 — Great app for pet owners *2025-01-22, version 5.1.0* Love having this app to watch my fur babies when I’m at work or away! ### 5/5 — Doggy cam *2024-12-02, version 5.1.0* I commute to work once a week. This app allows me to check in on my 3 dogs. ### 5/5 — Great way to watch my dog *2024-11-26, version 5.1.0* This app made it so I didn’t have to buy a dog camera and I could use devices I already have to keep an eye on my pup. Worked perfectly! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2024-11-26, version 5.1.0* Easy used ### 4/5 — Plötzlich nicht mehr zu verwenden *2024-11-26* Funktioniert auf einmal nicht mehr. Haben die App jahrelang sehr zufriedenstellend genutzt, vom einen auf den anderen Tag kann sie nicht mehr genutzt werden. Angeblich ein Netzwerkfehler - mit mobilen Daten funktioniert sie auch nicht mehr. Haben die App auf insgesamt vier Geräten - alle nicht mehr nutzbar 🤷‍♀️ **Developer response:** Hallo und vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Sie Probleme mit der App auf mehreren Geräten haben. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns unter helpme@tappytaps.com mit weiteren Details, damit wir Ihnen weiterhelfen können. ### 5/5 — Love your app *2024-11-17, version 5.1.0* I’ve been using your app for about 10 months now and I often recommend it to others. Thanks so much. It’s so simple but works so well. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-11-11, version 5.1.0* Cant be without it! ### 5/5 — Best Little App! for Our Peace Mind *2024-11-09, version 5.1.0* Love the simplicity of it for us to keep an eye on our pups when we aren’t home. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2024-11-09, version 5.1.0* This gives us a sense of security because we can see our pet while away from home. ### 5/5 — Beat $7 I've ever spent *2024-10-17, version 4.11.3* I wish every app worked this well! I paired it with my iPad and it works flawlessly. Absolutely love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-11-07, version 5.1.0* I bought this app, then canceled it and even received an email from someone saying it would be canceled. Guess what, they kept charging me. And it doesn’t show up under subscriptions so it makes it even weirder and more difficult to get it canceled. This company is a nightmare to deal with. ### 1/5 — help *2025-06-23, version 5.1.0* so i bought the app and payed for it but how am i supposed to put the code in on my other phone if i would have to pay for it again on my other device?! is that just how it is that i have to pay 14$ for it? someone please let me know asap. ### 1/5 — Low quality audio when in monitoring mode *2025-03-31, version 5.1.0* My AirPods go into low quality (call mode) for Spotify when also in monitoring mode. ### 1/5 — Nach kurzer Zeit kein Video *2025-03-12, version 5.1.0* Ich hab schon immer mal Probleme gehabt, dass die App zb wenn ein Gerät die pop up Meldung zu Stromsparmodus oä zeigt, die Video Verbindung weg ist. Nun hab ich als Sender ein neues iPhone und nach 1 Minute oder wenige zeigt es kein Video mehr an oder die Verbindung ist komplett weg. Die App ist für mich somit gar nicht mehr nutzbar. ### 1/5 — Horrific *2024-02-21, version 4.11.3* Lets just say it tells maggie is resting ….. when maggie is not even there. Terrible app ### 1/5 — Dog Monitor *2023-10-14, version 4.11.3* Bought this didn’t appear 2nd Device (iPad) therefore useless no help option on App. Roger it ### 1/5 — Crappy Junk App *2023-09-13, version 4.11.3* You can’t run anything else with sound while this app is running or everything sounds distorted. You can’t get movement notifications and you can’t hear the video on the main screen. Only if you go click on the hear every noise. The resting notifications are excessive as well. Not worth the money! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2023-05-07, version 4.11.3* Absolute rubbish just wasted £5.99 I’m not tech minded but this soul destroying trying to set it up so I’ve now deleted it, can do without the stress ### 1/5 — Dog Monitor *2022-12-08, version 4.11.0* Very disappointed I paid for this on both my iphone and iPad, and it’s not working and I don’t understand why. When I use to use this on my tablet and Samsung phone it was fine please help me! ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-12-02, version 4.11.0* Would be a great app if it didn’t stop monitoring every time I use it. The app then tells me the only way to restart is from the camera device. That defeats the purpose completely because if I was home to restart from the camera device, it wouldn’t need to be in use. Since I would, you know, be able to watch with my own eyes. Worst $6.99 I’ve spent. -10000000000/10 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great *2025-10-07, version 5.1.0* No complaints ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-30, version 5.1.0* Love dog Monitor. Basic functionality which does exactly what it says it does. So simple to watch our doggo from both mine and my partners phone. Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Really Great *2025-08-26, version 5.1.0* Updated: This app was really good from the beginning and now can’t imagine life without it. Have been using it for 4 months since we got our rescue. Just discovered the feature where you can playback the sounds the dog has been making in the log. They thought of everything! Being able to change the noise sensitivity of the microphone is so helpful since we have noisy neighbors. The video function is intuitive. And occasionally our dog responds to being soothed by us talking to him (though mostly he is unimpressed since he can’t smell or see us.) This is a thoughtful, stable app. Glad to have it and would buy again. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-08-05, version 5.1.0* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-07-05, version 5.1.0* Simple and easy to use ### 5/5 — Sense of Peace. *2025-06-26, version 5.1.0* This app has helped me have a sense of peace when leaving my anxious dog at home. Has also let me know I have been out too long and go home, or don’t have to go home just yet. As much as it has helped me it has also helped him with his anxiety by being able to talk to him if need be. ### 5/5 — Dog monitor *2025-06-20, version 5.1.0* This is a fantastic app, can see what the puppy is up to and listen in and also talk to them to calm them if upset . Used it with 2 dogs now, would definitely recommend this. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-06-09, version 5.1.0* Works as advertised. Very helpful. ### 5/5 — Best thing I could have got *2025-05-27, version 5.1.0* This is amazing as it’s one less extra gadget in the house, goes through the iPad to my phone. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2025-05-26, version 5.1.0* Had a old iPad to use save me a little money. I didn’t have to buy another nest camera. Also I can use it in my car --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
