### 5/5 — Successful

*2026-02-23*

There was an issue where it called my Philly Cheesesteak a hotdog, but other than that, it successfully told me if something was a hot dog or not

### 2/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-02-14*

This app sometimes labels sausage and bratwurst as hotdogs.

**Developer response:** I tried my best. I'm clearly no Jin Yang :-)
