Nice to always have a reference right in your pocket and the videos are great. Can’t wait to try out some of the new features! ### 5/5 — A Must Have App! *2024-01-30, version 8.5* This app has so many valuable features. Definitely worth more than the asking price! Wonderful customer service! So happy I found it! ### 5/5 — ***** *2022-09-02, version 6.9.1* I recommend this app to all of my students. -Georgia Thomas Havenlea Dog Training Centre ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2022-04-08, version 6.9.1* I’ve tried a few rally apps and this one is the best by far. I love the different modes for practicing signs (audio callouts and the flash card mode are perfect). The videos added are a nice touch too. ### 5/5 — Great for students during COVID-19 *2020-11-30, version 6.9.1* I like that it is mostly kept updated. Explains signs well, and use it to give homework for stodebts. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2020-03-18, version 6.9* I’ve used this app since Ruthann first told me about it when it was first made available. ALL of my students downloaded it as well. We check the descriptions carefully during lessons and they learn so much from the videos! I wouldn’t mind an update with a self-course construction feature and would gladly pay for it. I would also love to see different size dogs do some of the exercises, especially at the Master level. ### 5/5 — Essential tool for Rally *2020-02-27, version 6.9* Most of the handlers and also the judges cannot remember the details of all the exercises. But a memory slip can cost 10 points. I have by now 2 RACH titles and I still take with me Pocket Rally to every trial. ### 5/5 — 5 Stars *2020-02-23, version 6.9* I have pretty much taught myself with this app. Each sign has an accompanying instructional video, you really can’t ask for more. 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Must have app for dog trials *2020-02-23, version 6.9* I absolutely love this app and it’s my go to when I have a trial. I can quickly and easily look up a sign, read all about it and if needed, watch a video to see how it’s performed! Thank you for making this app. Well worth the cost! ### 5/5 — A must have for serious competitors *2019-09-05, version 6.5* It’s my go to reference for every trial. Thank you for all your efforts to make such a comprehensive app. ### 5/5 — Self taught! *2019-07-14, version 6.4* This app is amazing for people who are self taught it gives the description and a video to demonstrate. It is very well designed and very helpful! Love it!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-07-13, version 6.4* This the best app for AKC rally! ### 5/5 — A Must-Have *2019-07-12, version 6.4* This is such a helpful app. I use it to verify I am doing my signs correctly (some are confusing) at trials. I also take my course maps and do a screen capture of each sign in order. I can practice our run both with and without my dog prior to our walk through. Also, the app is great for practice outside of class and when I don’t have my trainer to verify if I’m doing a sign correct. Thanks so much for creating this app! ### 5/5 — Great ap *2019-07-12, version 6.4* I have used this app as I’ve progressed through the levels as an amateur trainer. The written instructions and ease of locating a particular sign help me on trial day. During training, I enjoy watching the videos both to see how a sign should be performed, but also as inspiration for where we should get to as a dog team. Thank you for the love and craft put into this app. ### 5/5 — Great App if You Do Rally *2019-07-11, version 6.4* This app has all the signs with the same descriptions as in the AKC book. It is up to date with the latest changes. The videos are very helpful. Used it at a show recently to make sure I remembered the rules for each. Kudos! ### 5/5 — If you do Rally, you need this! *2019-05-17, version 6.1* This app has very helpful videos so that you can see exactly how to do each sign. Also includes the regulations from AKC so that you can read as you refer to each sign. The app I use the most when training! Thank you for a wonderfully helpful resource. ### 5/5 — Fantastic tool for all Rally competitors *2019-05-17, version 6.1* This app is easy to use and so handy for reviewing Rally signs. The videos are perfect- I recommend it to all my dog training friends. Lots of other neat features as well. Love it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — App is crashing *2019-01-19, version 5.9* I really loved this app but lately I can only get through 3 or so signs before it crashes. I hope there’s an update to fix and pronto! ### 3/5 — Helpful but caught one error *2019-03-18, version 6.0* Great app but there is an error on card #41. Offset serpentine to the right ...in the description says the center pylon will be to the LEFT by 3-4 feet. ### 4/5 — Helpful videos *2026-05-28, version 10.0* The videos are helpful, but there is an updated and amended regulations and guidelines on the AKC site dated August 12, 2025. It would be more helpful if your guidelines were updated to the current ones. There are significant changes. ### 4/5 — Out of date for current sign performance wording. *2026-02-06, version 10.0* Out of date for current sign performance wording. ### 4/5 — Wishing for a bit more *2020-02-26, version 6.9* I like the app and videos. I wish the app allowed me to save or tag signs I am working on. I wish I could save the practice course I design after each lesson for further review during the week. I wish I could search by number or name of sign and not need to know the level the sign is from. Otherwise it’s a great app! ### 5/5 — Great Guide App *2026-06-01, version 10.0* It has been amazing how many times I’ve turned to this app to make sure I’m teaching the skill on the sign properly. ### 5/5 — Always nice to see a quick refresher *2026-05-13, version 10.0* I always have you up at a trial so o can watch a video quick. ### 5/5 — A wonderful training aid. *2026-01-12, version 10.0* A wonderful tool for learning and practacing rally signs. ### 5/5 — Great app for students & seasoned rally folks alike. Thank you! *2025-08-18, version 9.7* I use this app for myself and for my training clients. We’ve often pulled out the app to confirm we’re doing one of the signs correctly during a lesson. ### 5/5 — Super useful *2025-08-14, version 9.7* I carry this app with me to every rally class & trial. I consult it in daily training as well. I love the videos, the timed call outs, the descriptions with emphasis on what gets scored. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great resource *2025-03-30, version 9.7* This app is a wonderful resource. I use to prepare for competitions. And I use it at competitions as a reminder of what is required at each sign. ### 5/5 — Improved Confidence *2025-02-26, version 9.3* I'm new to rally and this app is great! I've used it to learn the signs, to practice and to review before going into the ring. The videos are well done and very clear. ### 5/5 — A Great Rally-O App *2025-02-17, version 9.3* I used this App all the time while competing in Rally. I have been a Rally steward at many AKC shows. Stewards are not allowed to give competitors advice as this is considered training so when a handler would ask me about a specific sign when I posted the maps, my answer was always to download this App. It’s fantastic! ### 5/5 — Excellent teaching tool! *2024-04-08, version 9.1* The quick reference on the go is great!! ### 5/5 — Lots of great stuff here! *2024-03-24, version 9.0* I have only just started using Pocket Rally and I love it! The sign reference includes videos of how to execute all of the signs which is great. You also have quick access to the official AKC sign demonstrations from the "Treat Bag" area of the app. From there just click on the YouTube Video links button. You can set up favorites, design mini courses, access the full (and current) AKC Rally Regulations book, generate random signs by level and so much more! Definitely worth 1.99! This app is kept up to date and the programmer was very responsive to my landscape mode request. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
