That’s ridiculous. Also, I just want to talk to my dog. Why can’t I do that for free? ### 3/5 — Meh game *2026-07-21, version 1.7.4* After pressing the hold to speak button like only five times it made me pay if I wanted to press it again and I’m like “im not gonna pay for something that barely works!” So imma bout to delete the app. The only thing that’s kind of funny and cute is that when I presses the happy button my dog would win Dixie (no idea if I spelled that right I’m only 11) smile and wag his tail! He is named teddy because he looks like a giant teddy bear and every time he barks he looks like a talking teddy bear 🧸 🤭 ### 2/5 — Really bad *2026-07-16, version 1.7.4* It is super bad ad when I try to delete the app it doesn’t work ### 2/5 — Don’t work I hate it *2026-06-29, version 1.7.4* No it’s trash ### 2/5 — You have to pay *2026-06-20, version 1.7.4* You have to pay ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-06-10, version 1.7.4* It’s pretty good But I don’t know how to translate what my dogs are saying to me. But overall it’s pretty good. ### 4/5 — THIS IS SO COOL *2026-06-05, version 1.7.4* I love this ### 1/5 — Horrible waste of money *2026-05-28, version 1.7.4* Don’t buy ### 1/5 — I did not like it because … *2026-05-18, version 1.7.4* My mom said I could not do 3 days trial to speak to my 8 week puppy🐶 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hate it hate it hate it *2026-08-22, version 1.7.4* It the worst I can’t even do it if I don’t get a premium ### 1/5 — This app is a scam *2026-07-13, version 1.7.4* This app did not let me talk to my dog I told her to sit and to lay down she did not listen and she knows the commands when I tell her in English. ### 1/5 — It doesn't work *2026-07-02, version 1.7.4* I tried to talk to my dog, but he wouldn't listen. He was lying on the ground, and he usually loves his walks. and I asked him if he wanted to go on a walk and he just stayed there. He usually loves his treats, but he wouldn’t listen to a single trick He knows. I was only able to do five commands. And then it said I have to pay for it if I do more just know don’t get the app unless your willing to spend money. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-06-30, version 1.7.4* Absolutely garbage and this is fake ### 1/5 — Awful app *2026-06-29, version 1.7.4* Doesn’t even give the option to delete the app and now I’m stuck with a fake app I’m never going to use that’s just taking up my storage. And it doesn’t work, it shows almost the same sounds for everything. And also they literally just make the same stupid developer review on your reviews like ‘we increased the amount of translations specifically for you! Don’t give up on us, Yar.’ Like they do it to everyone even if that’s not what the person is complaining about! ### 1/5 — This is cap *2026-06-25, version 1.7.4* This literally doesn’t even work. I tried using it on my dog and plenty of times and she doesn’t even react to other than look up find a better app cause this one obviously doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-06-11, version 1.7.4* My dog just ignored me and didn’t listen. You should definitely add more language and give more access to this speaking feature my dog is Spanish, and I would wish you I had more features for different types of dogs ### 1/5 — Change it *2026-06-07, version 1.7.4* 1 star because they need to make it free no pay that would be a great update ### 1/5 — 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 😡 *2026-06-06, version 1.7.4* 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘨 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵.
