### 2/5 — Great but..

*2026-09-07, version 8.0.3*

You should be able to edit photos  after posting every other social app allows that, and there should be an option for parental controls. There also needs to be a toggle for turning of AI filters and posts I love the app and the idea of it but I will never support the use of AI especially for such unnecessary uses.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2026-09-01, version 8.0.3*

I’ve lived here my entire life and didn’t know about half of these dog friendly spots! Great app! I wish it had a feature where you can save locations you want to visit, that would make it 5 stars for sure!

### 3/5 — Constant notifications after I turned them all off

*2026-08-26, version 8.0.3*

I continue to receive notifications from them even though they are all turned off… it is, kind of its own turn off.

### 4/5 — Great idea but…

*2026-07-18, version 7.3.1*

I love the idea of this app, but the AI images on the homepage are SUCH an ick. seriously though if the app were generative ai free, it could be 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Super cool.

*2026-05-25, version 7.2*

Amazing app.

### 5/5 — Super Useful!!

*2026-05-22, version 7.2*

Love how useful this app is! The community has taught me so much about my Husky! Also such a cool way to find Dog Friendly places!

### 2/5 — Went downhill fast

*2026-05-10*

At first the app was great, how fun, a social media for the dogs. 

Now? Hooooo boy. It’s a hot mess. Encouraging and pushing AI, which is unethical, onto users, in fact actively encouraging the use. “Verified” accounts so people who don’t pay get lost in the way and no one sees their content. Flooded with businesses instead of just dogs or a mass of backyard breeders promoting their BYB puppies. It’s awful. The app had so much potential to go so far and now I barely touch it. I was hoping to use it to enjoy looking at peoples dogs and now I hate it. I hate it so much. 

But I’m sticking around and hoping that the people fix these errors and make it better again. Removing AI, at least mixing unverified through the verified at a night mix instead of it dominating the main page, and removing business accounts.

### 3/5 — Mejorable

*2026-05-06, version 7.1*

Que aparezcan hoteles by booking que no acepten perros?? La app parece una aplicación para vender publicidad. Mejorable

### 4/5 — Nice

*2026-04-23, version 7.1*

We like it here

### 5/5 — The must have app for every dog lover

*2026-04-23, version 7.1*

I've been using DogPack for a while now, and I can't recommend it enough! As a proud dog owner, this app has truly made a difference in both my dog's life and mine. The interactive map feature is incredibly helpful for finding new dog parks and trails nearby, complete with reviews and photos from other users. It's made our weekend adventures so much more enjoyable! What I love most about DogPack is the social aspect. I’ve been able to connect with other dog owners in my area, set up playdates, and even join community events. It's not just an app—it's a supportive and friendly network of dog lovers. The user interface is smooth and easy to navigate, and I appreciate the helpful resources provided, from training tips to health advice. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into building this platform. If you're a dog owner, DogPack is an absolute must-have. It’s made our lives happier, more social, and so much more fun. 5 stars all the way!

### 3/5 — Good app

*2026-04-20, version 7.0*

Fine app but i can't find an option to delete my account, i just haven't been using the app really but it's not letting me delete the account i made

### 5/5 — Dog Pack is the best

*2026-04-18, version 7.0*

Going to get a ad for my lab mixes 12 th Birthday in June. I love the videos and their merchandise.

### 5/5 — Great Space

*2026-04-11, version 7.0*

Nice park, full of tall grass and flowers.  It is fenced, has benches and water. Bring your doggie bags. Second time here, it’s a Saturday and it’s very peaceful. Unfortunately, Elsa was the only dog here both times so… Needs more dogs!

### 1/5 — Cringe AI dog podcast

*2026-08-24, version 8.0.3*

See title

### 1/5 — Started great, became trashy

*2026-08-18, version 8.0.3*

This app started out amazing. I was excited. Soon it was flooded with horrible generative AI that looks sloppy, ugly and distasteful. Premium accounts are all you see, never the non premium accounts. There are ads flooding everything. Pushing of backyard breeders and glorifying of designer mixes. 
I had so much hope. And now I barely touch it. I’ve moved to BamChi. Similar to Instagram but for all pets. Their layout is amazing. They don’t push genAI, they don’t do premium accounts. Everything I had hoped for from this, I got elsewhere

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-07-18, version 7.3.1*

Deleted almost immediately. Not at all what I expected, seems to be an arm of Booking.com. Only gives you information on where you are, which is not very helpful if it’s where you live, I was hoping to find some different walks around the area. I’m also not interested in other people’s chat

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-05-12, version 7.1*

Rubbish can’t delete account says to contact them but they don’t respond , not worth the hassle

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-05-09, version 7.1*

It just lists public parks with wrong info. Strictly prohibited nature parks listed as a dog park . DO NOT TRUST

### 1/5 — No hay alojamientos

*2026-04-26, version 7.1*

Todos los alojamientos que salen en el mapa no admiten mascotas, es como si la app para celiacos tuviese todos los restaurantes que salen el mapa con gluten. Una perdida de tiempo

### 1/5 — Just another Instagram/Facebook want to be

*2026-04-04, version 7.0*

This app is full of scammers. It’s so bad people are putting on their profiles to watch out for scammers. The features are very basic and not very clean looking. You’re better off using Waze, Google Maps or literally anything that’s been around for the last 2 decades. This app is just a quick cash grab and won’t last long.

### 1/5 — Downloaded to find pet-friendly stores/shops/resturants

*2026-02-11, version 6.1*

The advertisements I would watch would portray this app as a place to find cafés, stores, businesses nearby that allow pets to come in for my convenience… I literally can see all the parks that Google can show me and I can see all of the “dog businesses. “ basically grooming services or walking services blah blah blah but nothing for me… I wanna know what business is in my area that are for me that I can bring my dog with like Bass Pro like Marshalls, like winners…

### 1/5 — Too much AI and ads

*2026-02-10, version 6.1*

Used to love the app but now it’s nearly unusable, ads for their AI slop down your throat every time you open the app, a “for you page” as if they ignored all the research about how bad that is so no one sees real pictures anymore just the slop their algorithm tries to push, luckily you can view based on new posts or who you follow but that only makes the stuff they push crazier. Breaks my heart this was my mental safe space to deal with stress but now I hardly want to open it to avoid the AI and ads, I would use Facebook if I wanted that.

### 1/5 — Lugares

*2026-02-08, version 6.1*

Incluí un par de lugares sugeridos para los paseos de FDS.

### 5/5 — Benjamin Loves The Parks

*2026-08-24, version 8.0.3*

Our Red Golden Benjamin Franklin LOVES this app. We travel around the country in our RV and  use DogPack weekly to find Benjamin’s park. It’s the best! Thanks DogPack!!!!!

### 5/5 — Love DogPack

*2026-08-08, version 8.0.0*

As the owner of Pinky’s Pet Resort, I absolutely love DogPack! 🐶🐾 It’s such a fun way for dog lovers and pet friendly businesses to connect, discover new places, and share experiences with one another.

I especially love that it gives small, locally owned pet businesses like ours another way to become part of a larger dog loving community. At Pinky’s, our entire world revolves around making dogs feel safe, loved, spoiled, and right at home, so finding a community filled with people who love their dogs just as much as we do feels like the perfect fit.

We’re excited to be part of the DogPack family and can’t wait to connect with more pet parents, discover new furry friends, and watch this community continue to grow! 🐾💗🐶

### 5/5 — Fantastic App for Dog Owners

*2026-07-27*

Great app for dog owners! It’s easy to use, has a friendly community, and makes it simple to find dog-friendly places and connect with other pet lovers. Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your comment! We’re delighted to know that DogPack is helpful for you. 🐾 If you’re enjoying the app, feel free to share it with other dog lovers — the more in our community, the better! 🐶✨

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-07-24*

Super appli, très pratique. 
Il n’y a qu’une seule chose qui est dommage c’est qu’il n’y ai pas les endroits où on peut se baigner avec nos loulous 🥲

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre message — cela nous fait vraiment plaisir 😊 Nous sommes ravis que vous appréciez DogPack. N’hésitez pas à le partager autour de vous — plus la communauté grandit, mieux c’est pour tous les amoureux des chiens 🐾

### 5/5 — Greatest park in SD

*2026-07-17, version 7.3.1*

Just off of route 90 this is one of the nicest parks we have visited (and we travel all over the USA).

### 5/5 — Awsome sauce

*2026-07-10, version 7.3.1*

Loving it….

### 5/5 — What a fun resource!

*2026-07-02, version 7.3.0*

Tutu the Trickster’s favourite doggie app

### 5/5 — Dog pack

*2026-06-26, version 7.3.0*

I am grateful for you. 😅

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2026-06-26, version 7.3.0*

This is honestly heaven for a dog owner. I get to see SO MANY other dogs, find places to take my baby, and support pet stores that don’t make Jeff Bezos richer!! That’s just the cherry on the cake.

### 5/5 — Great Park

*2026-06-07, version 7.2*

Super clean
