There are so many ads that I’ve decided to delete it and look for a different one. ### 3/5 — Ok BUT…. *2026-06-15, version 11.0* This app is OK, but due to ads, it gets interrupted when you need to use it at times. Additionally, most phone speakers are set for human use and top out below 20 kHz. So setting it at 20 to 25 kHz will not illicit a strong sound if any at all for your pet. Keeping it below 20kHz should let your phone push out the signal intended, as long as the volume is up. Most training transmitters recommend 15 to 30kHz for dogs. ### 2/5 — Expect to pay *2026-05-03, version 11.0* Not free friendly. To function properly expect to have to pay ### 1/5 — Nutzlos *2026-02-25* Viel zu viel Werbung ### 1/5 — Don’t work! *2026-02-07, version 11.0* Don’t work ### 1/5 — Obscene content *2026-01-15, version 11.0* Why is there inappropriate pictures at top ### 2/5 — Terrible ADs!!! BEWARE *2026-01-08, version 11.0* Either pay for the app or dump it. The ads will drive you nuts and turn off your whistle right before your dog comes back! Heck I dumped the whole thing just cos I couldn’t stand the ads after only using it for 2 minutes—very annoying. Made my neighbors mad too cos the volume was up for the whistle then the ads came crashing in… yeah literally crashing. Some dumb game ad I guess. Did I say it was annoying? Oh I should add… I couldn’t test the app since the ads came up so fast. I really wanted to try it. Seems like a good idea and well-packaged, If you pay for it. ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2026-01-04, version 11.0* Only get it if you are willing to pay for the premium version. The ads are just inconvenient. ### 1/5 — Ads immediately *2025-12-30, version 11.0* Installed. Opened app pressed whistle button once see advert for coinage. Uninstalled. Don’t bother it’s just a cash grab ### 1/5 — Scammy *2025-12-17, version 10.2* Scammy ### 2/5 — Beware the ads! *2025-12-14, version 10.2* The app itself is fine but not worth paying for extra sounds and to remove ads unless you have kids. The ads are ridiculously inappropriate and so constant. I could barely use the whistle because it would constantly be interrupted by ads. One of the ads that popped up the most was for some Ai chat thing which would be fine if it wasn’t for the ad basically being Ai p*rn. I have no interest in seeing some barely 18 realistically Ai generated girl taking off her pants in a way that shows her butthole and V. I don’t want to see it and am very thankful that I don’t have kids who could see it. I couldn’t find a way to change my age in the app to hopefully hide the things that shouldn’t be shown outside of a p*rn video/site. So if you get this app, BEWARE THE ADS. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What a joke *2026-08-15, version 11.0* Every time I open it to use it I have to watch app by the time the damn commercials done all Hell has broken loose. Whistle doesn’t do you any good ### 1/5 — Serves links to scam websites *2026-07-14, version 11.0* That the app is supported by ads is not the issue. It is that it links to unscrupulous scam pages, saying your ApplePay account has been used on porn sites, etc. I would avoid this app. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2026-07-14, version 11.0* Simply didn’t work ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK!!!! *2026-07-10, version 11.0* I tried this on my dogs and it didn’t do anything at all. I’m convinced the reviews are fake for this app. There’s just no way. Already deleting it. ### 1/5 — To many adds *2026-07-06, version 11.0* Downloaded and used for thirty seconds and had pop up. A minute later got to try again for 30 seconds and another pop up. Couldn’t even useenough to see if I wanted to purchase. ### 1/5 — Virus Beware *2026-06-01, version 11.0* Not recommended, I opened it and several times a virus appeared telling me my iPhone was infected. Possible phishing or fraud. ### 1/5 — Not working on barking *2026-05-13, version 11.0* 1 of 10 ### 1/5 — Aucun résultat *2026-05-11* Ne vaut rien ### 1/5 — Does nothing *2026-04-05, version 11.0* I tried every frequency possible at the loudest volume possible. My dog wagged his tail the entire time. Did nothing. The clicker doesn’t work because eventually (very quickly) an ad pops up and you end up clicking that ad instead of the clicker. It’s a total gimmick and waste of an app. ### 1/5 — Stopped working on my watch *2026-03-06, version 11.0* Broken app Used to work, stopped all of a sudden. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Trainer is amazing *2026-08-17, version 11.0* This helps me control my husband’s dog’s lizard brain when he starts barking or whining and doesn’t follow commands. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — good work *2026-07-10, version 11.0* the whistle works really well, helped my dogs stop fighting ### 5/5 — Имбаа *2026-05-09, version 11.0* Кошка моментально приходит на свисток ### 5/5 — W app *2026-03-15, version 11.0* I thought it would’ve been a scam but ts actually works w developers ### 5/5 — DOESNT WORK don’t even bother *2026-03-11, version 11.0* Waste of time ### 5/5 — Sifflet *2026-02-24* Positif ### 5/5 — W-2 apps *2026-02-15, version 11.0*  my opinion this is gotta be the best app I have including the Dog Teaser app because I love trolling people on VR and I’ve always wanted to do one of these so I use that troll people on VR ### 5/5 — ❤️💕😍😘🥰🐶 *2026-01-21, version 11.0* My dog is so freaked out by the cat and duck 🦆 that he just started barking at the cats and then he just got up and started again ### 5/5 — AMAZING PLEASE BY *2025-12-28, version 11.0* Ok don't judge I use this for my cat I recommend this so much this has helped my cat this is the best app for training the only problem is the adds but over all this is the best training app in the world ### 5/5 — Super *2025-11-09, version 10.2* Dobra cena, dobra apka.
