### 3/5 — Cool!

*2026-06-08*

I love seeing the world through my pups eyes! I just wish the video recording portion worked. Currently, the whole app crashes when I try recording video.

### 4/5 — Good simple app

*2026-02-19*

The one thing I’d like is to be able to apply the effect to a photo or video I have, rather than only being able to use my live camera feed.

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2025-05-17*

No images on iPhone 15Pro. Just a black screen and no way of contacting for tech support.

### 5/5 — Perfect simple app

*2024-04-08*

This app is exactly what I wanted. It’s a simple camera view of how dogs see with only blue and yellow vision. It’s perfect for demonstrating a dog’s view to children. It’s not slow and doesn’t have a lot of confusing buttons like other apps. Works perfectly on my 14 Pro Max.

### 4/5 — Simple and fun

*2023-08-07*

It’s a great simple app. I do kind of wish you could upload a photo. Sometimes I’m browsing dog products on my phone and want to see what it looks like to the dog without getting a second device involved.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-07-30*

Complete junk. Does nothing but claim it needs access to the camera when there is nothing at all preventing it from doing so. Waste of time and data

### 3/5 — This is a nice app

*2023-04-19*

I’m no expert, however, it seems to translate red colors to yellow. Pet MD shows a comparison spectrum set that seems to show reds being gray instead of yellow. Fun to play around with.

### 4/5 — Overall, very good. Just two complaints

*2022-10-19*

1. The camera will loose autofocus when I move the camera quickly after obtaining focus, and sometimes does not recover. I have to fiddle with the camera (zoom in/out, or move the camera again, or restart the app) or wait several seconds before it regains focus.

2. There is only 1x and 3x magnification on my iPhone 13. Wide angle is not available. Also, “pinch to zoom” feature does not work.

But, for $0.99, what’s not to like?

### 5/5 — Important for owners

*2022-09-07*

Works as described and expected. No frilly features. I click the app and doggy vision opens up on my phone with no other steps. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Works well, version 2.0 is nice

*2022-02-06*

Worth $1, works well. My family loved seeing what our dog sees. 

I was hesitant to buy based on old reviews but their responses about the new version proved correct. Asked permission.
