### 1/5 — Buy a book instead

*2025-10-29*

All this thing can do is recognize that you are pointing the camera at a dog. And half the time it doesn’t do that!! It called my American Hairless a “mixed breed” including a Chinese Crested and a Pharaoh dog. It called my Chihuahua, a mixed breed as well.

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2025-06-19*

This app called my papered Shihtzu a Llaso Appso and our papered mini long haired dachshund a mixed breed. That’s all you can do is scan a dog and if it gives you the correct information then it’s probably good info, but when it gives you the wrong information, it’s worthless. It has little noises like whistling and squeaking that you can create but overall, it’s not worth the money.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-06-07, version 1.1.284*

You have to pay for EVERYTHING! and its prolly not that good, unless app!

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-02-20*

Not accurate at all. Both my dogs have the same parents and it gave one full breed chihuahua and the other a mixed breed of like 5 different mixes. Each scan added a different breed in the mix each time

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-12-24*

I tried it on my full blooded Rottweiler. The app said he was a Beauceron. Tried it on my Great pyrenees and it said he was a Dalmatian. You all need to allow clients to correct these issues on your app to Make it better. Make corrections and update the app.

### 1/5 — NOT FREE

*2024-08-02*

Only give you one free scan after that you have to pay.

### 1/5 — Everything is “Mixed Breed”

*2024-05-04*

Two dogs, both obviously some form of husky. It’s silly that a scanning app couldn’t identify what is easily seen with the human eye. 

Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Wrong

*2024-03-25*

This app is completely off on every single dog breed. It’s not even a tiny bit accurate.
Complete rip off don’t purchase

### 1/5 — You have to pay

*2024-01-15*

You only get 1 scam then have to pay.

### 1/5 — You can’t use it without paying

*2024-01-15*

It lets you scan one photo and get the (highly suspect) results, but after that you have to pay to do any more.
