Inaccurate
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your feedback and for giving the app a try! We appreciate the feedback on the accuracy of the capture. We are currently developing updates to the model to reduce the chances of this happening in the future. While we understand this is frustrating for you, we encourage you to check back in on future updates.
Cute concept. But needs work.

Thank you for your encouraging feedback and for giving the Tably app a try with your cat! Tably is best suited for North American and European adult cat breeds, but we have exciting plans for the future of the app including more diverse results. The Tably app has a >90% precision in identifying discomfort/stress/pain in cats using validated facial pain scales used by veterinarians. We appreciate your encouragement, definitely more to come - keep watching this space! If you would like to discuss more, please join us on Discord - and connect with like minded cat parents and our team. https://discord.com/invite/KzXxpGa5K5
Good idea but it doesn’t work
When my cat sleeps the app tells me he is annoyed or having a bad day. When he’s awake it says he’s fine. I took a video of him in the same positions and one time it said bad day the next, with no changes, it told me good day.
It seems very random and unreliable. Please don’t take advantage of people who want to do right by their pets. That is an awful thing to do.

It has potential!

Thank you for your great feedback and for giving the Tably app a try with your cat! We have exciting plans for the future of the app including more diverse results and making it even more fun and interactive. The goal of Tably is to create a connection with cat owners and their pets to signal if the cat may be experiencing discomfort or stress and hiding it, as cats do so well. With regular use (and now with our highly requested calendar feature), cat owners can recognize patterns of good days/bad days that may be helpful to make adjustments for them and useful for veterinarians to assist with health checkups. We appreciate your encouragement, definitely more to come - keep watching this space!
Magic 8 ball for cats
Response from developer
We appreciate this feedback! And we totally understand, we have more robust plans for the app in future releases and are working hard to create an end to end experience in partnership with potential vet-service providers to make it more accessible to check in with a Veterinarian. Tably now has a calendar so you can more easily track your cats' days over time, providing you and vets with more information as to possible patterns. As we have since the start of Tably, we are building the app in consultation with Veterinarians and using cutting edge AI and continuing to improve the helpfulness of the app - thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
I have an unhappy cat
So, I’m not sure if this app really works or not. I think he’s a happy cat or content cat. He doesn’t mark anything in the house. He only scratches at his cat tree and scratching posts. No aggressive behavior towards anyone at home either.
I’m not going to say”don’t use or get” but, rather use at your own risk.
Response from developer
It sure sounds like you are creating an environment for a happy cat and taking him to the vet on a regular basis. We appreciate that being told he is having bad days or is unhappy on a regular basis can be difficult to hear, especially when it does not seem like anything is wrong. Tably is built in consultation with Veterinarians and uses cutting edge AI and Machine Learning to detect what is incredibly hard to notice in cats; when they are experiencing stress, discomfort, or bad days. Tably should be used on a regular basis as information for you to investigate further and keep track of bad/good days, potentially noticing a pattern over time. Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to leave a review!
I’m the one who’s unhappy.
Not Happy
Overly Simple
Great concept, faulty results
Cute idea, not accurate
Clearly work to do
Good for a laugh
I was able to get it to work quite regularly. I stand in front of my cat, not right up in her face taking the scan at an angle. Light behind me. You just need to play with it a bit and you find the position that works best and it reads pretty quickly.
Good for fun, but I wouldn’t worry about your cat if you keep getting red.
What a joke!
And then I thought that maybe it is right! Maybe using an app to check your cat out annoys them?
The best proof of how awful it is is the good reviews that say, oh, this is new technology, give it a chance! Hahaha, sock puppets.
Used to be bad, update fixed everything
Great idea to build on…
It still needs some work when it comes to detecting cats in darker settings and cats with medium to dark colored fur. Since it takes awhile to analyze the cat’s face, my cats both get annoyed with having the phone in their face for a long period of time. Both my cats are medium gray and it’s a big issue for them.
When I do a reading in bright light it works great and doesn’t take nearly as long, or intrude on my cats activities.
Making the app more light sensitive is an important improvement for the long term survival of the app.
