CarmenTheMaltipoo

really bad app- it said my maltipoo was 30 something havanse but like 8 or something unknown breeds. They couldn’t recognize a Maltipoo.

Nonono

Every breed is wrong I know so many they call a border collie poodle I mean don’t get inaccurate very do not get bad bad bad

Not buying a second time!

I bought this app once, but won’t restore purchase and wants me to buy again. Not impressed and NOT buying it again. It’s not worth it!

Waste of Time Do Not Buy!!

I have a wheaten terrier, and he is nowhere close to looking like a Pomeranian this app has no accuracy or detail why pay for something that’s probably not even going to be correct and I also do not recommend this for mixed breeds. You will get a bunch of information that will absolutely not make any sense honestly, if I was one of the devs, I will take this now because this is just a piece of garbage and a waste of time and also a waste of money if you want to bite us app.

Fake

It changes every time and I know my dogs DNA and it is completely wrong

Everything cost money

I did find out my dogs main pedigree which is a lowchen (I can see this looking it up on google) however I have to pay to see the rest that’s hidden. I wasn’t expecting to have to spend money to find out. Thanks for some what of a percentage of my puppy baby dna.

So annoying!

They get the breed so inaccurate! My dog is a mixed husky! She looks nothing like a greyhound!? Also you have to pay to find out the other breeds? I’m only gonna use this once why would I pay?! I rather go to the vet but since quarantine I can’t!

Do not get this game

OK first of all even though my dog is a corgi from a different angle it just says it’s all different kinds of dogs inside my brother is part Dalmatian that doesn’t make any sense so please don’t get this game😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Not free

This was supposed to be a free app for a limited time, ITS NOT!!! Scam!!! Deleting it now

Oferta no verdadera

Ofrecen una app gratis, pero esto no es cierto

Free but 3.99$

Upgrade is announced as free for a limited time on the App but when go for it, it is 3.99$ !

Otherwise, the real free version seems working, but the interface need a better design touch.

Total fail

Found a picture of a black and tan dachshund online. Full shot on a white background: no other images to disrupt the app. It came back with and 83% back and tan coonhound and only a 15% dachshund.

A coonhound stands between 10 and 15 inches taller than even three biggest dachshund!

At least it was free.

Please please please DO NOT pay for this app. It seems to employ the most rudimentary image recognition and is pretty awful at best.

Just for shiggles, I then flipped the same image to be mirrored and then it was apparently only 71% coonhound. Huh? The exact same picture just flipped on the x axis now produces a different result?

Awful. Absolutely awful.

Waste of time

Unless you truly enjoy wasting your time and your money, this app is best left undownloaded. Giving this app the benefit of a doubt is your prerogative. Just don’t rely on the “DNA” to manage your expectations.

Poorly trained CV model, even worse app design

Backend wise, very rudimentary, correctly implementing cnn would yield far greater accuracy with minimal effort.

UI/UX seems like it followed a quick start guide on phonegap.

Kind of Pointless

It should bill itself as entertainment not an actual ID app, especially with a name like DNA. Cute but kind of pointless.
I got it free and if you’re inclined to try suggest doing so only keen free. I don’t think it’s worth much money. But reasonable minds may differ 🐕

Accuracy is questionable

This app has an interesting concept and presumably it could work if it had a well tuned sophisticated machine learning algorithm behind the scenes. I tried multiple different photos of my dog and the app gave wildly different results even when I used almost identical pictures that were taken within a few seconds of one another with very subtle differences in the position of my dogs head. My dog is a fairly rare breed — a canaan dog — and though he’s AKC registered he doesn’t have a classic canaan dog color pattern. Nevertheless he was never identified as being more than 25% canaan dog though I uploaded 15 different pictures and some profiles didn’t mention canaan dog at all. His mother was identified as 97% canaan dog however which I thought was impressive since it is a rare breed but she was a national champion so it’s possible that her picture may have been used for breed recognition training purposes. In any case, it’s an interesting concept but needs much more work...

Ridiculously off

My dog is a German Shepherd. No doubt. I tried different pictures of him and got Belgian Malinois in one and Norwegian Elkhound in another. Okay, my dog is not the traditional coloring. He’s sable instead of Black and Tan, but come on!!!! Would have been cool if it worked.

Well it’s ok

I have a registered Purebred Labrador Retriever. It’s picking that as main Breed but also throwing in a couple of other Breeds (Cane Corso?) dependent on picture. Will be trying out some other pics & taking some new pics to see if it will drop other Breeds. I’d recommend trying it out.

Trying to UNLOCK everything on DogDNA app that is supposed to be free today..

The app is good but I t was supposed to be a free upgrade to premium on the day of download. It was not, and wanted 2.99 for the upgrade!
