### 1/5 — Lied about ads, a million pop ups also!

*2026-09-01*

After level 40, the pop ups never stop. Then, after around level 45, it’s CONSTANT ads to keep playing!  Why do devs LIE like that????  Don’t they know the game will just be deleted?!

This dev, like all the greedy liars out there, WILL fail!  No one likes being lied to…
This dev is scum and I will delight when people catch on and delete this game in droves!  Shame on you!!! 😡😡😡😡😡

**Developer response:** We’re sorry this has been frustrating. Our ads are always optional and only shown when a player actively chooses to watch one—they should never appear automatically or interrupt gameplay.
If you need more resources, you can earn them through Daily Challenges, Survival Mode, and Easy Mode. Alternatively, Pro unlocks all main-story levels directly.
If you experienced automatic ads or any other issue, please email me at wangziwei9401@gmail.com. I’d be very happy to help resolve it.

### 5/5 — Fun & challenging

*2026-08-29*

I downloaded this after reaching level 270+ on Meowdoku, & this one is sooo much better. Will definitely be upgrading to the pro version. Kinda sad because after I downloaded it & did a round I went to delete other game apps I wasn’t using anymore & accidentally deleted this one, immediately redownloaded it but the gifted wizard cat avatar was gone from my inventory & I didn’t get the prompt to accept it as a gift after the redownload 😭💔 tried to clear my cache & nothing seems to be working. Other than that, really enjoying it.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and support—we’re so happy you’re enjoying the game! We’re really sorry about the missing Wizard Cat skin. We found a restoration issue where the gift could be remembered as claimed after reinstalling without being restored to the skin collection. We’ve fixed this for an upcoming update, and previously claimed skins should be restored automatically. Thank you for reporting this, and especially for your support and interest in Pro—it truly means a lot to us! ❤️

### 5/5 — No-ad option

*2026-08-19*

You can pay a small amount to ban the ads, and the game is relaxing and fun.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you find the game relaxing and fun. We’ll keep working to make the experience even better.

### 2/5 — Worked great for a week then crashed

*2026-08-18*

I downloaded this game a week ago, paid the extra $ for more perks.  But today, i can open the app, but as soon as I click on something to play the app closes.  I rebooted my ipad, i re installed the app, but no luck.  When it was working I loved it.

**Developer response:** I'm extremely sorry. There was a problem with one of the versions last week! I have resolved and urgently updated this issue! You can try to update the version. If there are still problems, please do contact me. The email address is: wangziwei9401@gmail.com! Once again, I'm sorry for causing you a bad experience. In the future, I will conduct more comprehensive tests during the update! (o_O;)

### 5/5 — Love this doku

*2026-08-18*

I found dogdoku because meowdoku just wasn’t challenging enough. The way I earn hints and tips is better than the other app and these puzzles keep me sharp. I sent feedback to the developer and they replied positively within the same day. I normally don’t review apps on App Store but this is a true banger. 5/5 would doku again.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support! We’re thrilled that Dogdoku feels both challenging and fun, and we’re glad the way you earn hints and tips has been helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review—5/5, keep on doku-ing! 🐶

### 4/5 — Honestly

*2026-08-07*

I have seen better games I thought this was going to be fun it was but it was so confusing

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the game felt confusing. We’re improving the controls, board coordinates, and Next Step explanations to make the rules and suggested moves easier to understand. We appreciate you giving the game a try and hope a future update feels much clearer and more enjoyable.

### 4/5 — Reset

*2026-08-03*

I would have given it 5 stars if there was a reset button

**Developer response:** Clear still doesn't meet your requirements. Do you want to clear the dog as well? You can contact me directly via email! wangziwei9401@gmail.com

### 5/5 — Favorite

*2026-08-03*

I love the different dogs and the marking option. That makes it better than all the others. Also, very helpful support. I’m a senior and the logic stimulates your brain. I don’t write reviews often but I do read them so try it!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoy the dogs, marking feature, and brain-stimulating puzzles. Your kind words about our support mean a lot to us—happy puzzling!

### 4/5 — Problem

*2026-08-02*

I couldn't get the app on my iPad so please fix it

**Developer response:** Please tell me how many times your iPad system has crashed? I will try to troubleshoot the system compatibility! You can contact me directly via email at wangziwei9401@gmail.com.

### 5/5 — No adds!!

*2026-08-01*

I downloaded the app thinking “oh, there must be adds,” but there’s not a single one! Also the levels are great! I will never delete this game!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! We’re thrilled that you’re enjoying the levels and the ad-free experience. Hearing that you never want to delete the game truly made our day! 🐾❤️
