But it’s not the best. When I first got this game I thought that I could have different dogs instead of one but… Nope! You have to pay money if you want a different dog breed. And also, you should be able earn instead of pay to be a cat. Please fix this. Please read this. Thank you. ### 2/5 — No people *2024-03-10, version 2.0.0* The game is fun and i play as a black cat but ever since i got the black cat i didnt see anyone on my screen or server it felt like i was the only one in the game and now im stuck as the only Player but i dont want to delete the game cause it will delete all my progres.

Until you notice that there's toxic people on it. I was just chatting until someone started arguing with me for no apparent reason. It kept going on until they started death threatening me and calling me a racist word that I'm not going to mention. Please add a report button. It would be helpful! ### 4/5 — Good game but not that good *2023-09-30, version 2.0.0* I’m on level six and I don’t know what to do with the points cause is said to spend my points but I’m like.

They are captivating and interesting— with fantastic themes and ideas shoved into them that give them this charm that I just cannot shake away. Your games shaped my childhood; I’ve played everything, from Dinos Online, to Wolf Online, To XWOLF, To Wild Animals Online / Wild Zombies Online, to Wolf Online 2, to Dog Online - Monster Virus. Heck, I’ve even played your story-based games such as Life of Deer, Life of Wolf and Life of Wolf Reboot. It was what first got me into writing. My first ever self-made novel was about Wolf Online— and was heavily inspired it. I never published it, of course, but it was a fond memory of mine. I’m working on a novel series now— and I would’ve never acquired this fascination writing if it weren’t for you. I love your games dearly, with all my heart. However, I have 2 significant problems with you and your games: * 1. Terrible Communities / Playerbases. * 2. Lack of Attention from Dev(s). Let’s start with Number. 1: Terrible Playerbases. It doesn’t take more than a few minutes in one of your games to see the terrible behaviour of some of your players. As soon as I logged into Dog Online— just to see what it was like after a 1-year break— I saw arguments. People swears, hauling insults left, right and centre; it’s just not great. I don’t mean to be rude to the majority of people who play your games, but GOODNESS GRACIOUS some of you. Edgy, antagonistic pre-teens (and sometimes even grown teenagers) would constantly get into pointless quarrels over pointless things— like the barbarians some of them are. A great portion of your playerbase is, how do I put this, lacking a far-from-favourable amount of brain in the thick skulls of theirs. Nincompoops stirring brouhaha just for the raw sake of entertainment; I see it all of the time. And what do you do about it? NOTHING. AND THE HACKERS. Where do I even start. It only takes a mere few months after the release of another one of your games before the script kiddies invade, bringing with them turmoil every way they go. You game servers are riddled with modders— and it’s nothing new. I’ve seen these people in Dinos Online, in Wolf Online, in XWOLF for goodness sake. They’re everywhere; and their ruining your games. Hackers seep the life out of your games, diminishing them of the bubbly joy that they once emitted; it’s a real shame. And I know that you’ve since made an effort to deal with this; you’ve been banning some of these people. But still. It’s a great problem even now. You really need to step up your game, my friend(s). Otherwise, all of your newer games would just turn rotten upon release; in a blink of an eye, Dog Online had turned into the same diabolical wasteland that it portrayed in-game. AND THE LACK OF UPDATES. It seems that you only update your games for a few months before discarding them. I’ve had a good while to observe the lifespans of your games, and to but it bluntly, it is far from good. You’d only give out major updates for say, a handful of months before giving up. Then roughly a year later, you’d drop a gargantuan update in hopes that it would bring back some of the older players— and then, you’d just LEAVE. I’m aware that it can be hard to keep up with these things, but this is beginning to become horrendous. I truly love you— and your games, but I cannot hold back the pure RAGE I have for how you treat your works. Every game that you make ages like milk; ALWAYS. I can’t stress how much WOE with has created within me; it PAINS me. If only you’d be there to stop this from happening. This has been ongoing for years upon years; I desperately want to create a change. But without your help, these games of yours will morph into yet another bundle of husks of what you games used to be. With all regards, Anonymous. ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2023-08-13, version 2.0.0* F-U-N ### 5/5 — Why do we have to pay for another breed? *2023-08-08, version 2.0.0* In my own opinion, this game is a great game! I really love it. But I wonder why we should pay for another breed, I get tired of only using one breed, we should be able to have 3 breeds for free before we start paying money, great game though, i really love it. 🩵 ### 4/5 — The best *2023-07-16, version 2.0.0* I love this game it’s THE BESTY I love wolfonline to but there a problem with this game u have to pay for another pet and I have no money on my account plz fix this but I love it ur ideas are so fascinating Ty for this game but plz for the problem Ty! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ugh not for iPads *2025-08-25, version 2.0.0* First I can’t even play bc its black when I open it so plz fix for apple ipads ### 1/5 — Little accident *2024-11-29, version 2.0.0* I was playing on my account when all the sudden some one in chat that stolen my account name started saying bad things about me that isn’t true, and I got stressed and deleted the game, I want you guys to do better next time and keep creeps out the game ### 1/5 — The game dead maps you *2024-10-18, version 2.0.0* I spent days levelling up my character only for the game to dead map me. Now I can’t see other players online. Apparently it does it to everyone and I have to delete the app and re download and basically start again. There is no way to report a problem or anything. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-07-17, version 2.0.0* It’s just a reskin of Wolf Online 2. Hideous game with awful gameplay and an unmoderated chat where people bully others and swear constantly. Terrible game. Do not download ### 1/5 — Dead servers *2024-07-07, version 2.0.0* I jsut hate how this game jsut has dead servers,it makes me mad that I wanna delete the game and play wolf online 2 instead. ### 1/5 — Now I will play your game again when you get those hacker away because… *2024-05-22, version 2.0.0* *1*Will, hacker’s can KICK YOU IN DEAD SRVER *2*hackers can kick you out of the game * please feedback *3* why do we need hackers in the group anyway *4*if you make a get a new animal you lose your old one please fix all of this Will if you can *5*⚠️WARNING⚠️ there are no chat filters in this game ### 1/5 — Google laptop crash *2023-06-24, version 2.0.0* When you on google laptop if you gonna make a character and the loading stops working if you click anything it will crash. ### 1/5 — Please remove ragdoll thing *2022-11-22, version 2.0.0* It is so annoying and ruins the game.

I go to make a new character, and all the characters, and I mean ALL OF THEM get locked behind a pay wall of 1.79 dollars. Really? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The *2026-09-04, version 2.0.0* The most common type of ### 5/5 — . *2026-07-02, version 2.0.0* Игра потеряла смысл, нет того веселья что было раньше. ### 5/5 — Awesome game just fix some things *2026-05-25, version 2.0.0* I love this game a whole lot, and it’s super fun to play 😉 just fix a few things. Ideas: 1. After selecting your skin when you first enter the game, don’t make the rest two dollars. Instead, make them in-game currency. 2. Don’t make every area except city safe from monsters. I like to do role-plays and monsters are everywhere. Bugs and glitches that the devs should fix: 1. I realized the newer skins glitch your dog while hunting. Please fix this problem so I can play as French bulldog again without glitching so much. 2. Sometimes when I get ran over by another player or monster, I get stuck on the ground and I can’t get up. Fix this bug. I know this seems like a whole lot, and I’m sorry, but the updates will get here one day. I hope this review reaches the devs, and thanks for reading🥹💗 ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2026-02-25, version 2.0.0* Played this game with one of my best friends a couple years back we had so much fun playing this game it was very fun we would play on FaceTime together 3 years ago now he is very distant from me and doesn’t talk to me much anymore because I’m not cool enough for him which sucks because he was the weirdest kid in my friend group back then and now he switched up on my whole friend group he got a girlfriend and my made more “nonchalant” friends than us which is a little rude because he was the most chalant out of everyone I knew ever he was the kid that would always wear hoodies and he would play sound effects in class play games and would just be overall silly but now he just won’t hang out with his old friends which left it down to just me and my bestest friend to hold the old group now because our others friends left the group and everyone else transferred schools so it was just me and my other friend after a little we gained more friends and now it is perfectly normal just a little sad to see this game in our old texts from years ago with our faces as little kids in the FaceTime in the corner. Overall just great ### 5/5 — Please make we’re you can make dogs free instead of buying them *2025-10-14, version 2.0.0* Please and thank you ### 5/5 — A game breaking problem plus some ideas. *2025-01-24, version 2.0.0* Cool game but if will often throw you into empty servers meaning you have to reinstall which is short lived because it will happen again eventually. Please try to fix this crucial problem soon. Ideas are try to perk cats like the monsters. Slightly faster attacks and increased dodging chance could be their buffs. Another is having to level up causes you to lightly deal more damage to monsters and to be able to unlock a latch attack that deals damage like in WAO when you are large enough. The last one is unlocking monster by defeating a certain number of them, this could also encourage more coops. As for the review the game is a WO2 reskin the traffics are a little odd at places, like the colorful spiders that don’t mesh well and they could clip you through the map. The enemies have a high detection range and they can easily send you rag dolling far which makes hunting difficult along with other ppl that are free to attack you even if your the same breed. You have many choices but non will make a difference to your stats, like chihuahuas killing a pit bull, and some are just less bugged than others. ### 5/5 — I love this game but their is something about this strange player *2024-10-27, version 2.0.0* So when I first got this game I was excited and made new friends everything was going well until I noticed a strange player who went by the name WOOOO and it was not even a real player to us it only tried to kill everyone and all it seemed to do in chat was spam the word HABITAT and it could scare ppl away from the game and I’m concerned of what WOOOO may do next it just scares me as if it were and npc (non playable character) if u can do something like a ban button only for specific reasons or a button to ban for a few days or so that would help a lot since WOOOO doesn’t seem real it’s just like a robot unsure of what it could be tho thanks for reading everyone and god bless ### 5/5 — I think we should have new dog breeds *2024-09-01, version 2.0.0* Can we have the Turkish kangal Great Dane and more ### 5/5 — Add Tamatoa map *2024-09-01, version 2.0.0* Do you know that giant crab Tamatoa what if we add him to a map that will be sick right, ### 5/5 — Hey 1ganes please make a update of a dragon in caracteres *2024-08-28, version 2.0.0* Hey 1game please make a update of a dragon in caracteres --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
