Wouldn’t let me make an account
I love the idea as something motivating for people with ADHD but sadly it wouldn’t let me make an account. It kept saying response status code unacceptable: 405.
Love this app but doesn’t seem to work anyone
I loved the rewards for this app, but as of today, I can no longer make it work. None of the buttons in the app work.
“Failing” if people call you
Love this app! Dogs are super cute and this really helps me be more productive. However, you “fail” the session if someone calls you, even though YOU never left the app. Hoping this gets fixed with the next update!
battery
whenever i get a battery notification to put my phone on low power mode, the session always fails even through i’m still on the app and i didn’t even touch my phone. it doesn’t really help with not using your phone because you can just make the session fail and using the apps which are available for your use.

Disappointed... although I loved it at first
I’ve had this app about a week or so now and I’ve been really loving it, I’ve been using it to as a little cute motivation to help me do my assignments and it’s been working well! However, I had collected about 7 dogs and then suddenly I went on the app yesterday and my dogs were no longer there and I was forced to make a new account?? It was both disappointing and frustrating and although I’ve decided to keep the app for now in the hopes that it was a one-off, I will definitely delete it if it happens again as it’s a little pointless. Please make sure this doesn’t happen again! Thank you!

dogs. nice.
This app is fully the only way I’m not failing all my subjects, highkey want some more breeds though
Good app
I love this app - it helps me stay off my phone while studying. However I wish I could breed dogs that are already mixed!
Helps focus a lot
I have ADHD, and resisting the urge to use my phone is extremely hard for me. This has helped a ton with focus and is actually helping me learn more discipline by making me ask myself “can this REALLY not wait 25 minutes? Is this really worth interrupting what I’m doing?”
Beyond focus at work, it’s actually even helping me work on mindfulness/being present by using it while I walk places, watching TV, listen to my partner talk about their day, eat dinner, etc.
One glitch - hitting to ignore a phone call makes you lose progress which stinks. I’ll have to experiment with it because I can’t just leave my phone vibrating on my desk in our open office.
Overall, really helpful!

Help
I love the app it’s great for my revision and the dogs are so cute 🥰 however today I tried to log in with the right details but I can’t as apparently my login is invalid
Progress lost!
After waiting for 4 hours, my progress was lost because I lost connection to the Internet. This is bad.
Good concept!
This is the only game I know of that is like it. A game that motivates someone to stay OFF their phones! Most apps want your undecided attention. So, for that I give this app 5 stars! I removed one star, however, because all you are doing is collecting dogs and mating them. It would be great if there were more to do with these dogs. Maybe interact with your friends dogs or have something for them to do. I love the idea though, so let’s see if anything happens next. Great job!

They Won’t Fix a Known Bug!
I wanted so badly to give this app 5 stars. The idea is genius, the implementation is cute, and I love the app. However, on my iPhone 6, the Generate sessions fail for often than not, and when I reported the bug, I was told, and I now quote the email...
“Sorry to hear about this issue. It’s a bug that seems to happen on iPhone 6’s. Unfortunately, our team has started working on a new app and are no longer supporting Lightdogs, so the bug is unlikely to be fixed. One way to avoid the frustration though is to turn on notifications if you haven’t already. When the app mistakenly thinks you’ve left (rather than just locked it), it should send you a notification warning you that your session will fail. Then you can unlock and relock before the session fails. Sorry for the frustration. I hope Lightdogs is useful for you regardless!”
So if I got this right: they’ll sell the app, but not fix a known bug. Nice.

great app
this app is super helpful for keeping me off my phone and in the moment!
Great, when it actually works
Will randomly say I “failed” sessions with no explanation without me doing anything wrong or switching to another app. Sometimes it won’t let me access my account or log in.
Love it, but...!
Hi! I love this app so so much, it’s really helped me reduce screen time and spend more time doing productive things.
One thing though, I feel like there should be something you can do with the dogs you’ve collected, besides breed. I understand it’s supposed to be a simple app to keep you off your phone but it feels less earning whenever you get a dog. So what, now I evolve and breed it? I just wish there was something more, still a great app though totally recommend, thanks for reading!

Good idea, good app, but...
I was using this app and I was doing the 4 hour session. I turned off my iPhone and walk away for 4 hours when I come back and turn on the app it says session failed but I did not leave the app! I was mad because I had wasted 4 hours only for that to happen. Please fix that glitch!
Some glaring issues
Issue no.1 is that an account is needed before using the app.
Issue no.2 is that every time I scroll up to 4 hours of gen time, the amount of joules rewarded decreases by a small amount. Definitely a bug, if not a design red flag.
Issue no.3 is that it only goes up to 4 hours of gen time. I need at least 9 hours, otherwise getting up at night to check my phone is still rewarded.
That said, an auto-reward for not using my phone from a specified bedtime until wake up time would be nice.

Fun and it works
This is a really cute app that actually works! It’s been remarkably effective at keeping me off my phone for measured time periods. My one small complaint is that there is no option to switch from metric to imperial measurements... it’s a very American problem I guess, but kilograms and meters don’t mean anything to me! It takes away a bit from getting immersed in the game.

Breed Guide not updating..
This app is great. However, as I phase up dogs, they do not always update in the breed guide. Specifically, I have noticed the Knight Vigilant and Steadfast show the puppy version, but not the adult form even though I have unlocked it.
So much fun!
Great app for making me stay off my phone more, it’s so fun seeing what dogs you can create. Best app I’ve had for keeping me off my phone and focused especially in work hours. Really motivating. Can not wait to see more breeds available and maybe some interactive parts.
