Instead she was identified as a Italian greyhound. ### 1/5 — Not accurate at all *2021-09-23* I tried taking several pics of my dog and got a different result each time. Once it even said she is a toy poodle, which would make her the largest toy poodle in the world, at 40 pounds. Also, it identified my husband and me as African hunting dogs, but our son is a Labrador retriever—yes, he is our biological son despite this odd result. Don’t waste money on this app. I canceled the free trial to avoid paying a subscription. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy- *2021-09-17* Not accurate at all.. ### 1/5 — Got all our dogs wrong *2021-09-17* Not worth the money or times did not get one dog correct. ### 1/5 — Its wrong *2021-09-10, version 1.11* ITS SO BAD AND ITS LYING ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-08-27, version 1.10* Terrible. Dog recognition doesn’t work. Complete and utter rubbish. ### 1/5 — 无法使用，已退款 *2021-03-28* 点进去就要订阅，买了还是转不动进度条 ### 1/5 — Failed to work *2021-02-06* Tried taking a picture of my dog, it was clear and not distanced, error! Tried to upload a picture, error. Unfortunately it looks like the app needs some work. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-01-18* App is pretty useless. Took 3 pictures and still could identify. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2020-12-08* Every time I tried it didn’t work with pic from my phone or any I took directly in the app. Glad I didn’t pay for the $4.99 upgrade. ### 1/5 — No good *2020-12-06* I tried 4 times on 2 dogs and app had an issue scanning, glad I didn’t pay first for the app. ### 1/5 — Crap *2020-10-25, version 1.10* Ten different pictures and it wouldn’t read or find a dog in any of them. Waste of time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tricks you into subscription *2026-03-09, version 1.14* Scam ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-06-21* The app keeps giving me the same message.

Asking me to pay again! ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t know a dog from a cat *2022-07-04, version 1.12* It marked my son‘s German shepherd as a corgi ### 1/5 — Hasn’t got right *2022-03-30* My dogs part dingo this ap doesn’t know anything about the breed ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-11-14, version 1.11* Horrible ### 1/5 — Not even close *2021-11-04* We have 3 chihuahuas and it said it was a hairless Mexican dog, and elkhound and a min pin lol and our Great Pyrenees as a lab. ### 1/5 — Complete waste *2021-11-01* Every single scan has been completely wrong, what a waste of time… ### 1/5 — Stupid *2021-10-16, version 1.11* Literally put a picture of dirt and the app said it was a kelpie ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Buena app *2023-11-15, version 1.12* Buena appp ### 5/5 — b *2023-06-23* 好 ### 5/5 — Archie king *2021-09-13, version 1.11* Mini golden doodle birthday 8/10/2020 ### 5/5 — Excellent appli *2020-07-08* Excellent app **Developer response:** Thank you ### 5/5 — Work great *2020-02-01, version 1.0* Excellent app I scanned many dogs and it works great ### 3/5 — Ky ara *2022-07-17* Me heló ### 3/5 — Great app *2021-10-24, version 1.11* I love this app ### 2/5 — It’s not very accurate at all *2021-10-21, version 1.11* Kinda poop ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2021-10-15* I know for a fact my dog is German Shepard, but I downloaded the app because he is mixed with something and we are unsure what. The app didn’t even think my dog was German Shepard (which it’s very apparent he is), and kept bringing up dog breeds that were different each time and significantly smaller than my dogs size, making it seem very doubtful. You would have better accuracy with a DNA test or maybe even a different app. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2021-09-17, version 1.11* A lot of bugs.has option to correct an incorrect dog breed guess,but no keyboard comes up when it tells you to type the correct answer.very few options in general use of the app.and major delays from one screen/function to the next.I can’t even make a legit assessment as I couldn’t get past the opening screen --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
