Disappointing

Right now very discouraged with this app. Give me a totally ridiculous result and now won’t let me try again after spending the time and energy of subscribing.

Wildly inaccurate

Same dog, 3 photos, 5 mins: 3 completely different answers. It came up with everything from Husky to a Mexican hairless breed. Only 3 photos permitted before you’ll need to purchase a more expensive subscription level. To be fair, it would be hard to get this technology right, and my expectations were low. But golly; it’s almost comedy to get the results I received with 3 carefully taken, carefully posed, well-lit photos.

Pure breed Border terrier mot recognized

Bought app. Scanned my own dog. Totally wrong. Cancelled app.

Terrible service

Purchased the yearly subscription and it wont allow me to do more than 2 scans

Not good

I have a long hair German Shepherd, which it identified as a great Dane and some kind of a huge mountain dog. Wrong on both accounts she is a AKC registered German Shepherd.

Certainly uncertain

The same dog has come back as several different breeds. Ranging from a lab to a a tiny breed that has absolutely no likeness to the breed standing before me. I would not use this app for anything serious only for fun to see what it comes up with when I was bored. I feel it was a complete waste of time and money. Hopefully others are having better luck with it. I certainly don’t understand the rating it shows before purchasing. I see now how it got such a good rating. It doesn’t allow you to send a bad one!

Coyote

This app could not identify a coyote.

So stupid

Its so dumb how u need to pay just too look at your information when you can just have a look on google make your cash i guess🤨

Probably not reliable

Just for fun I uploaded my two dogs who I know what their breed is. It identified them as separate breeds despite them being sisters, and was way off on what they did categorize them as. Lol. I used the unpaid version, so that’s worth mentioning. The paid for model may be better.

Crashes and is wildly incorrect

It crashes when you upload a photo about 80% of the time. But when it identifies a photo it is really really off every time. It said African wild dog but a puppy that we know has a pekingese mom.

How wrong can it get?

I uploaded this app in the hopes that it would give me some information on our rescue dog. I scanned him three times and the first time it said he was 99% Chihuahua, the second time it said he was 69% Chihuahua and 40% Scottish terrier and something else. The third time it told us he was 40% Scottish terrier 3% Shibu Izu, something else and Chihuahua. What a joke! He is a shelter dog, but we were told his mom was a collie because they brought the entire litter in, but they didn’t know what the father was. Don’t waste your money.

Not even close any of the pics or guesses

Zero. Disappointed….yes i have his lineage

Not correct in any form

Scanned my Pomsky and it said he was a Boston terrier. Scanned my lab pit mix and it said she was a redbone coonhound 😂. Good thing I didn’t pay for anything.

Huh?

I got a different “breed” every time I tried with my dog. So, I took pictures of human family members and found out that we are an Old English Sheepdog, an Akita, and a Chihuahua. This is a joke app-I am SOoo a Pit Bull.

Ridiculous

Wasn’t even close.

Not happy with this app at all This app sucks!!!! Don’t waste your time!!!!

Can’t even test it!!!! Just wants you to pay for it!!!! There are other apps way better than this one and they are free!!! So I wouldn’t even bother downloading this app!!!!

I would give it 0 Stars if I could!!!

Bad app tbh

When I got in the app I tested a dog I knew the breed of and it got it completely wrong and I tried a different dog I knew the breed of but still it got it very wrong and I tried my dog which I don’t know the breed of but it was definitely wrong because I asked someone who knew his breed and it was wrong plus you need to fix the 3 scans you get I need more this is definitely a scam.

Merely OK

About as reliable as the personal opinion of casual viewers of the National Dog Shows every Thanksgiving.

Dog Scanner

So bad, it called my Labrador a dachshund and didn’t give any right information at all. Do not recommend any of the apps just go get a test to see what your dog is if you don’t know.

I have a Dobermann

I have a Dobermann and yet you keep saying he’s a coonhound with dachshund and all different breeds lol so you need to update this a lot .
