It told me she was some sort of terrier that started with a B that I can’t remember. Just to be extra sure it wasn’t just an unclear photo or something I uploaded a very clear solid photo of my Red Nose Pit. A phot that cannot he disputed as anything BUT a red nose pit. This app told me she is a chihuahua. Chihuahua’s don’t get up to 65 pounds and have a square head. Sorry guys lol. Thanks for the laugh. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-02-05, version 4* This is a terrible app. Doesn't work and doesn't give you any information at all. Don't bother with it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-01-12, version 4* I’ve tried numerous picture attempts of my dog. I always get “sorry try again!” ### 1/5 — Does not work on my iPhone X *2019-12-27, version 4* Have not been able to get this to work. I’m using an iPhone X with latest OS. Always says “I’m sorry please try again” any time I try to pull a pic from an album or take a pic to analyze. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2019-12-14, version 4* It has great info about dogs, but the app needs a bit more work. It’s not getting it right just yet. It worked for some breads, but guessed wrong few times. ### 1/5 — I don’t think this app could tell the difference between a cat and a dog *2019-11-05, version 4* Just guessed my miniature Irish Wolfhound was an Austrian Silky terrier. Fun, but not accurate. ### 1/5 — Sorry try again *2019-10-07, version 4* This app has never worked. Every time I get an error saying sorry try again. ### 1/5 — Said my pitbull mix was a chihuahua lmaoo *2019-07-30, version 4* I didn’t expect accuracy but the app said my pitbull mix was a chihuahua ### 1/5 — Not accurate whatsoever *2019-04-23, version 2.2* Identified our German Shepherds as chihuahuas. What a waste of time!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-04-21, version 2.2* Took about 15-20 different photos of my dog in different light and backgrounds.... not a single photo worked, kept telling me to try again. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2019-04-04, version 2.2* This app is pretty good I read the description and the reviews and I can understand why they have said that it read their dog differently It did to mine to (my dog is a black Labrador retriever) And it said that I’m sorry but, it only happened to me twice so yeah I would recommend this app! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-02-26, version 2.2* So basic & it’s even distorted hahaha. Don’t bother downloading this crap 🤣🤣 ### 1/5 — Not an app...yet *2018-12-29, version 2.2* If you’re interested, go ahead and get the app, but understand it’s still a work in progress. Don’t use it to accurately identify ANY dog! Once all breeds are included, I’m still not sure how it will evaluate size from a photo (and size is a helpful component in identifying a dog). It identified my 95 lb. dog as a West Highland terrier. 😆 ### 1/5 — Does not recognize *2018-12-17, version 2.2* I tried it on my puddle and it does not find it ### 1/5 — Worst App *2018-11-22, version 2.2* Does not work whatsoever. I have tried it on both my dogs and has never once even worked. It hasn’t even misidentified my dogs like another user stated. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Review *2021-06-21, version 8.3* Wouldn’t accept any of my pictures except my sister’s old English sheepdog as a Shih Tzu. Wish I wouldn’t have downloaded this app at this stage. Great in theory now it just needs substance. Disappointing they put it out too soon. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-12-31, version 7.2* Didn’t work for so many clear photos. Same dog in different photos given 2-3 even 4 different breeds for the same dog. Doesn’t define apbt from amstaff ### 1/5 — Absolutely Horrible *2020-11-07, version 7.2* I had a full picture of a recognizable dog breed and they said sorry try again for every angle. ### 1/5 — Awful but funny *2020-08-27, version 7.2* The app suggested my 125lb monster dog a chihuahua. Lol it was a good laugh. ### 1/5 — Great concept, terrible app. *2020-07-12, version 7.2* The idea behind this app is awesome. But it’s pretty much worthless. Standard bred pit, tried several pictures and it kept saying sorry blah blah blah in a gps monotoned voice. Love the idea, hate the app. Wish there was a 0 star option. ### 1/5 — Bad identification *2020-06-20, version 7.2* Horrible at identifying your dog it says our dog is a Chihuahua when she is a bigger dog that will be a medium size dog. ### 1/5 — It’s okay but please fix this *2020-06-15, version 7.2* There was a sign in button and sign up button it wasn’t working so I hit guest. Then said in the app that it would explain about your dog, at first when a was trying to select a photo it wasn’t working. I reloaded the app and it work and my dog is a mix and it got one of breeds my dog is. ### 1/5 — girl u can do better *2020-06-04, version 7.2* whoever designed this app clearly doesn’t know what they’re doing. it’s pretty confusing to use and it didn’t even let me pick a pic of my dog and plus other reviews are saying it doesn’t even work so i didn’t even bother to try to figure out how it works. other than that love u babe, keep up the great work but also do better next time😘 ### 1/5 — Needs work! *2020-05-01, version 7.2* I decided to try this app in hopes it would be somewhat close. I had pictures of my dogs that were Australian Shepard mixes but had German Shepard coloring but one of them was short and had fluffy long hair with a fluffy curled tail and the other was taller, short hair and also a Curled tail. so I was very curious what breed they were. When I tried it said item could not be found, and it said that for my two possible Australian/ German Shepard breed. I also tried this with my chorkie(Chihuahua/ Yorkie) and it identified it as a Black and Tan coonhound which was obviously incorrect. This app is a very great concept! Although it needs work but just have think on it a bit more and hopefully it will be better. Good luck! ### 1/5 — Soooo fake *2020-04-30, version 7.2* I don’t know the exact breed of my dog. We know it is a type of hound. I got this app thinking we could find out. Well it told me he was a Chihuahua. HE IS NOT ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Greatest app *2021-09-30, version 8.3* This app is great. It works like it supposed too and I understand it’s not a puppy dna test is guess based on probability. ### 5/5 — Schindlers list *2020-01-29, version 4* Smelly egg on the side please. Perfect app. Called my wife a French bulldog 69 times out of 69. Faultless ### 5/5 — Hot app *2019-09-01, version 4* Man this app is amazing I went up to a African boerboal and it knew what it was. This app is cold. ### 5/5 — Good app *2019-08-10, version 4* I really enjoyed using this app. Room for improvement for sure but I like it! ### 5/5 — Dogs *2019-07-21, version 4* Great app. My kids love taking pictures of dogs to find out which breed they are. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2018-08-09, version 2.2* Recognized my Maltese with no hiccups at all! Can’t wait for more updates! ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-07-29, version 2.0* Great app! I figured out pit bulls are actually a pit bull terrier ! ### 5/5 — Perfect match on my 2 dogs *2018-07-25, version 2.0* My 2 dogs were correct using this app. ### 5/5 — Worked perfectly *2018-07-25* The app was a great success at our family bbq and worked perfectly! ### 5/5 — Worked great! *2018-07-25, version 2.0* Was able to identify several breeds... fun and easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
