Please don’t buy it don’t waste your time and just. It’s just bad. So yeah. if I was able to give it a zero star I would so yeah do not buy.! !! ! ### 1/5 — Not happy with that app *2024-06-27, version 1.3.1* Didn’t like it, and I think it’s stupid ### 1/5 — THIS IS A SCAM!!! *2024-06-18, version 1.3.1* When I first bought this game, I thought “ wow this is so cool. I can’t believe this game can translate dog language to human language.” But I was wrong. I tried to use it with my dogs, but my dogs didn’t respond to it AT ALL. so if you’re reading this right now, I recommend you DON’T buy this game. And they are way over the top with the money. I accidentally bought something in the game and I can’t undo the purchase. So developer if you’re reading this, I recommend that you fix this game up. IT NEEDS FIXING! ### 1/5 — Why it is so bad *2024-05-24, version 1.3.1* You have to pay so much just for a couple of noises and you don’t even know which type of dog you have so it might not make the same noise and it’s overall bad in general 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Locked up *2024-05-13, version 1.3.1* Went to try to use and after 60 seconds it totally locked up. Must uninstall. ### 1/5 — This is fake just fake do not download *2024-05-08, version 1.3.1* So I downloaded this app I had it for a bit and I got suspicious so what happened I pressed the button without anyone saying anything and it just said let’s go for a walk like the dog said that when he didn’t even say anything this is a horrible waste of ur time u will never get back don’t buy premium don’t even download ### 2/5 — App *2024-04-28, version 1.3.1* App just used random dog noises ### 3/5 — Camera *2024-03-24, version 1.3.1* Sounds are good but the camera was not working and I deleted it and reinstalled it but the camera still did not work. ### 3/5 — Make sure you read this *2024-03-10, version 1.3.1* I saw the ad and I thought it would be fun. But when I was tried to record it would not let me it just gave me a white screen so it’s good but not great ### 2/5 — 2star review *2024-03-04, version 1.3.1* Your dog translator is mid because want a speaker to talk to my dog threw and it wasn’t very exciting and fun for my dog and me so it’s not the best dog translator really please add a Speaker so I can talk about what I was gonna say and I really didn’t like it that much because I couldn’t really talk to my dog so l Gave it two stars because it was not amazing or the thing thought it would be, and my dog wasScared of it.
