He is a Bernie’s mountain dog mixed with a (bernedoodle) and that was not on there. Other than that the app is alright. I did send in a request to have it pit on there. ### 4/5 — Not good for mixed breeds *2026-03-19, version 13.3.1* Not accurate with mixed breeds but since that in itself is very difficult to assess I’ll give this a 4 out of 5. ### 3/5 — For iPad *2026-03-05, version 13.3.1* No longer works. Requires commercials then goes in circles asking permission to camera ### 3/5 — Eh *2026-02-18, version 13.3.1* Its a great app for scanning and meeting new people but a few of these people aren’t the greatest and get away with saying many terrible things while there are many children on this app. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-11, version 13.3.1* Led me to a deceitful link requesting credit card information. Bogus service, not real scan ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-10-11, version 13.3.1* I have a Shih Tzu and I did the app four times and it come up telling me everything from Havanese to Maltese to all kinds of things, but not once did it come up Shih Tzu and it was multi mixes, and it’s so obvious, even just by looking at his face that he’s This app has gotten really bad ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dangerous ads *2026-08-31, version 17.4.7* The ads appears and explain the iPhone is compromised and ask you to press download. ### 1/5 — Too many ads. *2026-08-11, version 17.4.7* Deleted this app. ### 1/5 — What ? *2026-07-03, version 13.3.1* You thought that the dog was a cat ### 1/5 — No me gusto me están cobrando *2026-06-28, version 13.3.1* Quiero hablar con su dueño porfavor ### 1/5 — Werbung macht App unbedienbar *2026-06-06, version 13.3.1* Wie im Titel schon erwähnt, macht die Werbung die App unbedienbar. Der Bildschirm ist damit komplett ausgefüllt, keine Möglichkeit die Werbung wieder zu beenden, auch nach Minuten der Wartezeit. So ist die App selbst mit Werbung nicht zu gebrauchen. Man muss die App schließen und von vorne beginnen, um wieder an Bedienmöglichkeiten der App heranzukommen. Das geht ein wenig am Sinn der Werbung vorbei. Sorry, aber da bleibt dann leider nur ein Stern dafür übrig, da die App kein Ergebnis liefert, beziehungsweise man dieses nicht betrachten kann. Ein Klick auf ein Detail des Ergebnisses und schon ist es vorbei. Die Werbung wird eingeblendet und lässt sich nicht mehr entfernen ### 1/5 — Absolute Dumpster Fire! *2026-04-14, version 13.3.1* I’ve been on dog socials for a while now and when my previous social got shut down, I downloaded DS to keep up with friends. People here are insane! Dog Scanner is known across many socials as the dumpster fire of a pet social. There are young children running wild, almost no moderation (aside from censoring certain words, which is extremely easy to bypass), *extremely* inappropriate ads, and so much unbelievable content. The advertisements also promote several unethical practices, and I get recommended backyard breeders on the regular. Furthermore, the homophobia on this app is disgusting, and several users have told LGBTQ+ members many horrible comments that I shall not repeat. Please, for the love of anything, stay away from this app. Also the dog identification doesn’t even work. It just uses AI and gives you a random percentage of what breed your dog looks most like 🫩🙏 ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2026-03-07, version 13.3.1* When you scan a dog with pricked ears (e.g some chihuahua mixes) cropped ears, or cartoon/illustrated dogs it says it’s a cat ### 1/5 — APLICACIÓN INÚTIL INSERVIBLE *2026-02-16, version 13.3.1* Aplicación fraudulenta no reconoce ninguna raza de perro subí varias fotos de la galería cómo dicen las instrucciones y no identifico nada ni una sola respuesta NO LA DESCARGEN PÉRDIDA DE TIEMPO Y DATOS UN FRAUDE ### 1/5 — Absolutely wrong breed *2025-12-29, version 13.3.1* My dog is bridle and it matches with dog that is not ### 1/5 — Worst app *2025-11-15, version 13.3.1* I kept giving me the wrong dog bread my dog is not mixed and it said it was mixed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New user *2026-08-04, version 17.4.7* Just started using this app and it has corrected detected all the breeds I’ve submitted ### 5/5 — Top star *2026-07-04, version 13.3.1* This app is great I get to figure out dogs and get to connect with other dog lovers! I give this a top star! ### 5/5 — De Osmary con amor *2026-04-26, version 13.3.1* Me encanta ### 5/5 — Dog scanner *2026-04-18, version 13.3.1* It could tell what the dog wise works well ### 5/5 — The truth *2026-04-07, version 13.3.1* 1.Once,I asked my friend what breed her dog was and she said Cocker-Spaniel so I scanned Pumpkin and it came up with 72.1% Cocker-Spaniel and 28.9% Poodle 2.I love the feature where it tells you about the history of the dog and the description which I googled the history of Jack Russell Terrier and it was exact.I hope this helps your decision on downloading Dog Scanner! ### 5/5 — Five stars *2026-01-27, version 13.3.1* This is so good I scan all of my puppies and dogs and they both got the percentages right I don’t understand how this app works how can a phone scan these kind of things but anyway I read this a 10 out of 10 stars five this is perfect! ### 5/5 — Impresionante *2026-01-20, version 13.3.1* Cuadran mucho los resultados. A mi perra le hice un test de ADN y concuerda mucho con los resultados. ### 5/5 — Pretty accurate *2026-01-12, version 13.3.1* Scanned my dogs right ### 5/5 — Yay *2025-12-20, version 13.3.1* I love it to much that it did not tell what my dog is 🍎🥹🤷🏻‍♀️😀 ### 5/5 — Australian Cattle dog *2025-12-14, version 13.3.1* Great app!
