This ap identified her as a border collie. ### 1/5 — Dont pay the money *2023-10-09* This app is terrible and entirely inaccurate. It said my hound was a golden and doesnt capture any mix. Also scanned 3 other dogs who are mixed, names one breed and the breed was not even one in the mix. $3 lost in an instant. ### 1/5 — Pure Garbage *2023-10-07* This application is garbage and was developed by garbage with garbage skill. It literally does not work, rarely ever identifies anything and when it does it’s WAAAAAY off. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2023-09-23* Had to pay $2.99 which was reasonable. Used the same photo of my dog 4 times and got 4 very different answers from a small terrier to a Great Pyrenees. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Very inaccurate *2023-09-02* All the breeds that it identified in my dog looked nothing like her at all. There were no similarities. One time it said 74% chihuahua for my 80lb dog while another said mastiff which was not even close ### 1/5 — Wrong *2023-08-21, version 1.1.177* Absolutely incorrect results ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2023-05-23, version 1.1.152* I had my dog tested for her breed. I did this for the fun of it. Its inaccurate. ### 1/5 — Me dog poo on tha nks givin turkey *2023-01-31* How to pleas help mi dog poo on turkey how to clean for beginer ### 1/5 — Couldn’t buy *2023-01-08* Could not use current payment method. Couldn’t add payment method. To bad looked like cool app. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2022-10-21* We have a foster of unknown breed that I wanted to try this on, just to see how accurate it would be (which I knew it wouldn’t but I’m bored), I scanned our purebred toy poodle first, the app said it was a Portuguese water dog. This poodle is 4lbs… anyways, I go to scan the foster, jokes on me, you have to pay for the app to scan more than just one dog and give you inaccurate results. Don’t bother. Have a good day!! ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2022-08-24* Way inaccurate and hard to get camera to lock to take pic. Wast of 3$. ### 1/5 — Hello *2022-07-20* I don’t like where you have to buy something to take a other scan because people don’t have that much money so please add more scans 🙏🙏 ### 1/5 — Deserves zero stars *2022-05-13* Scanned my dog once, it gave a vague possibility I took a better picture and it wanted me to pay. It would only let me scan the once and never again gave a probability. Not wasting money on an app to guess ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-10-13* I used on my dog and every time I use it gives me a different dog. What a waste of my money! ### 1/5 — Mad *2021-08-30, version 1.1.9* Not working as I expected and I paid my money I’m not happy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I hate it *2023-04-25* You have to pay for scans ### 5/5 — Cool *2022-05-29* Works good for me AND $2.99 a life time👍🏼 ### 3/5 — It’s not letting me go again and I didn’t go yet *2023-03-03* It’s not letting me go again and I didn’t go yet ### 3/5 — Simon Emery *2021-03-20* Good but does not recognise all breeds.... especially my dog - the German Mittel Spitz. Keeps coming up with Pom! Which would upset my dog if he knew LOL! Can you up date please. ### 2/5 — Not good ! *2022-08-24* So it only let me do one scan and then said I had to pay for more after 1 scan ! Though if u did want to pay it had a good dog whistle thing you can use to get them to listen whilst u take a photo but other than that I wouldn’t recommend if u add more scans it would be pretty good ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
