### 3/5 — Localisation issues

*2026-05-27*

Looks like a nice app, but despite languages listed in the App Store, most of the app including the start screen isn't in English.

### 2/5 — Repetitive

*2023-10-10*

Keeps asking names that I’ve already 👎🏻’d

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-01-17*

Greate soo helps and inspires you for knee name ideas

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-09-30*

Not loading. Blank page

### 1/5 — Starts with nothing and adds names by charging more

*2020-09-23*

This app starts by giving users common human names, the kind you wouldn't name your dog. Then, they offer other categories that they charge for each. $.99 here, two dollars there. So I deleted the app. It's not worth the money.

### 3/5 — Same suggestions repeatedly, namely “Prunella”

*2020-08-20*

I kept getting the same suggestions... many of which were lord of the rings related. Also suggested the name “Prunella” 6 times in one evening 😂. Fun for brainstorming, but it would be nice to see more options.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-07-31, version 5.0*

Sucks. You have to pay for a fitter like cartoon names you have to pay for all of them I only got like 10 names and it said it was out like wow

### 5/5 — App works well

*2020-07-25*

Make sure you change your filters if you purchase the packs so all names show

### 5/5 — Thank you!!

*2018-11-24*

This app is incredible thanks to them I could choose a name for my beloved Cavachon thank you!!

### 4/5 — Best names ever!!

*2017-06-15*

I like how you can put the names that you like and put a heart I don't like that I don't know how to remove it
