It makes the exact same bark every time. ### 1/5 — Blah *2025-12-29, version 1.2.1* This app sucks my dog doesn’t even move. It’s a joke. ### 1/5 — Joke *2025-12-23, version 1.2.1* Waste of time. Doesn’t even work ### 1/5 — Maybe it’s my dog *2025-12-23* I have a Chihuahua mixed with a miniature pinscher and all the commands I played she did not doit So maybe it works for certain dogs. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience.

I tried and they literally acted like nothing happened. Then I tried to cancel my subscription but there’s nowhere to cancel. I wrote customer support and no response. If you’re going to charge people you need to make it possible to cancel if the app doesn’t work. It might work with some dogs but not mine. **Developer response:** Hello, We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and understand how frustrating this situation must be.

Three second trial. *2025-11-21* I wanted to see how my dogs reacted and it allowed me maybe three recordings, and all of the unlocked emotions were not actually unlocked. Seems like they don’t want you to realize it’s nonsense. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback.

Just avoid at all cost. Did I mention it is fake and doesn’t work! **Developer response:** Hello, We’re very sorry to hear about your experience — this is definitely not the way our app is supposed to work. If you were charged during a free trial period, it may have been caused by an App Store subscription issue or the trial not being properly activated on your account.
