Dog Scanner for Negative User Reviews
✓ RidiculousTold me my 65lb dog is a cat..Version: 8.2.4
✓ Not that accurateI have 4 dogs. 3 are purebred and one is a golden retriever mix that is on the small side and solid white. The only thing that doesn’t look GR about her is her ears. They don’t stand strait up but are not as long hanging as a GR. They look more like Aussie ears. I got this app to try to identify the mix breed. She was a stray we took in. To test this app I scanned my other three dogs which are two corgis and one boxer. It only got one of my corgis correct. The other it tried to say was a mixed breed of some schnauzer mix. Not even close. My boxer it tried to tell me was a mastiff mix. I could understand if it didn’t get mixed results totally accurate but if it can’t identify purebred dogs that are breed standard then I don’t trust any other results..Version: 9.8.8
✓ Not what you think it is…I’ve had DS for over a year and I’m deleting it for good. First, the scanner on this app is accurate 55% of the time. It said my German Shepherd was a greyhound and my cat was a bulldog. Like..this isn’t even close to accurate! Although it is sometimes right, that’s very rare. And don’t get me started on the social feature. It’s absolutely horrible, there’s drama every day, and there’s always that one person who ruins everyone’s mood. Don’t get this app for your own safety and mental health..if you need a dog scanning app then DS isn’t it. Cat Scanner is more accurate and has a better community if your looking to scan cats tho :).Version: 9.8.8
✓ Eh...Well it was a ton better back in august. this app is kinda trash now. listen, the scanning feature isn't that bad, but i'm pretty sure it just goes off of color and points because it's not very accurate, it's said my dog is anything but the breeds he is. but now onto the real problem: the social feature. you have the idiots who just wanna cause drama, you have the dog theifs, and you have the occasional zoophile. yes those have all happened. people complain about anything you do, and then your the one who gets hated even tho you've done nothing wrong. but the biggest problem of them all is that they're banning random people. for NO REASON. email them? you get a snippy response, because that's 'so professional'. there are people who are getting banned for doing nothing, for example; moondog. she's one of the sweetest people on the app and she's been banned i believe twice? it's so annoying. they take 5 minutes to ban an innocent person, but you have a person telling people to k!ll themselves and threatening them, and it takes them days to ban them. not to mention that the app takes forever to load and there's a ton of errors. honestly if your looking to download this don't even bother, it's awful. if you want a sweet community get amino and get dogs amino. and if you want a scanner, just get a different one..Version: 9.0.3
✓ Umm interestingSo I scanned some images of my dog, a young Bernese mountain dog - mostly the app thought mixed breed, a couple of images were thought to be a 35% chance of BMD. Could be fun to guess ancestors of mixed breeds, but if it can’t spot recognised breeds, not got much hope of any accuracy. Too many adverts or games to download when I try and report accuracy. Not sure whether it will improve or not, but not worth paying for an ad free version..Version: 9.1.3
✓ Does not do what it says on the tinIt didn’t get the breeds of any of my dogs correct..Version: 9.6.4
✓ Waste of timeNot even close to accurate. I tried it on seve dogs I know the breed for fact and not even one was guessed correct.Version: 5.0.5
✓ TerribleI scanned my Dobermann who is pure bred from one of the top show kennels in the UK, she has won her class at Crufts in the past and this app can’t identify her as a Dobermann. The first scan said cross breed and the second was a completely different breed. Great idea, just a terrible application.Version: 9.6.4
✓ RubbishCan’t work out cocker spaniel 100% failure rate.Version: 8.1.8
✓ CrashesCrashes my iPhone 7. If I could give no stars I would.Version: 1.4
✓ So wrongI have two dogs one with a pedigree. App was wrong for both dogs.Version: 7.7.4
✓ TerribleHighly inaccurate. Literally tried it out of interest and it got 3 of my 3 dogs completely wrong and my friends dogs wrong also..Version: 5.7.3
✓ Privacy - Asks for too much accessAsks for access to my entire gallery to use. Obviously denied. Wasted my time signing up..Version: 9.8.8
✓ USLESSUsles i would give it a 0 if i could makes up the dog bread and doesn't know anything ect dont recommend.Version: 9.1.4
✓ Absolutely TerribleI scanned my dog it said she was a dachshund she is a Cocker Spaniel. I tried to find a app that told you how old she was. It would not let me try find out she is. The app is Absolutely Terrible never use this app. Please answer back soon as you see my review..Version: 9.1.0
✓ 2 stars, got my mates dog wrongYeah that’s pretty much it.Version: 9.5.0
✓ Seems my Greyador is a mix of a Poodle, and a CorgiWhat a joke of an app. I'm sure it can easily spot purebreed dogs, however it's an absolute joke when it comes to mixed breeds. It spat out some random breeds, and my Greyador is a "school book" example of his mix. Lab ears and coat color, Greyhound body type, snout and temperament. Thanks for serving me 100000000 ads in <6 seconds btw..Version: 9.5.0
✓ EhI couldn’t get it to work it It would also say the app is too busy So I’d wait like 2 hours and I even waited over night to do it but it still wouldn’t work I’ve only been able to do one photo.Version: 8.6.1
✓ Not accurateI’ve had my dogs genetics tested with 2 different companies. The dog scanner results weren’t similar to the genetic testing.Version: 9.8.8
✓ Very bad appMy pedigree Staffordshire bull terrier the app thinks it’s a Boston terrier which look nothing alike. And my border collie they think is a welsh corgi .... apps a joke plus use different pictures of same dog and get different results every time. Don’t waste your time downloading this.Version: 2.6
✓ Would do 0 if possibleSo inaccurate it’s laughable. Assumed my JRT was 35% “wire haired pointer” whatever that is..Version: 9.8.8
✓ Need to add a way to suggest a breed not in yours listedGuessed my dog pretty wrong. He’s a full breed lemon Dalmatian and guessed he was only 9% a Dalmatian, likely because of his coloring. Although it would let me tell them it was wrong and tell them his breed it wasn’t listed and there was no way of suggesting it. Need to add a way to be able to not only search and select a breed but also type in a breed for ones you may not know about. It guessed both my chihuahuas correct but it’s also pretty hard to get them wrong..Version: 9.5.0
✓ Don’t get thisThis is an absolute waste of money.Version: 9.5.0
✓ Didn’t workUm yeah. Came up with completely different suggestions each time..Version: 8.1.8
✓ UselessScanned all of my dogs, x 2 purebred cane corso (dna tested) cavalier King Charles spaniel and cocker spaniel. According to the app all four dogs are mixed breeds. Don’t waste your time downloading it.Version: 9.4.4
✓ Did not correctly identify my senior dogI have a 13 year old female German Shepherd/Lab mix (actually did a DNA test 85% German Shepherd; 15% Labrador Retriever ) with all German Shepherd markings and soft ears like a Lab. This app gave me several breeds mixed, yet not a one of them were German Shepherd or Lab…so I’m not impressed at all. I’d give zero stars if I could. I mentioned her age because at 13, she has the body of an older dog, not all fit and trim like a much younger dog. The results were so off that after two attempts to get a ballpark result ( she’s not a mastiff in any way shape or form, like the app insisted) I had no choice but to delete it..Version: 9.6.4
✓ Not to badLovely fun idea one out of two dogs wrong atm.Version: 9.6.4
✓ Not recommendedI’ve never used one of these before, but it had good reviews so I figured I could test it and compare it to the real dna test my dog received. It’s a decent scanner. I wouldn’t say it’s trustworthy, however. My dog is about half mini Aussie, with a quarter Siberian husky, the three other identified breeds not really adding anything. This app was determined to say she was part Aussie, but the percentage was off by 20-30%. At times, the app thought my dog was mostly Saint Bernard, which isn’t even close, as she did have unidentifiable breeds but they were less than 1%, and the app said the Saint Bernard was normally in the 60-80% range, which I’d say is too off to be forgivable. The app also thought border collie, but, though she does have border collie, the percentage was normally raised more than quadruple the true percentage. I wouldn’t recommend this if you really want to know your dog’s breed, as if often off in percentages or downright wrong. You can’t even twist it to be fun, like see what it says when you take pictures of your dog’s tail or paws..Version: 8.0.19
✓ Not super accurate, super rude people postingI scanned my dog to see what he was and compare it to the results on here from his actual DNA test. They got none of the breeds right even with several photos of him. But it’s hard to guess a breed just on a picture. Also was scrolling through the news feed and there were so many inappropriate posts that they just allow on there. Yet I got yelled at for posting half of my face with my dogs picture. I think my face is less of a threat than someone telling me to die..Version: 9.1.4
✓ It’s okaySo my puppy is a pure breed Australian shepherd mini and not a mixed breed (like it said) so in MY preference I deleted the app and WILL not go on the app again. p.s the app doesn’t even let you say what the breed actually is which is kinda annoying because if the app gets the breed wrong then you can’t tell your dogs right breed 2/5 stars from me. Make the better dog scanner.Version: 9.6.4
✓ From: Summer DavisI love the feed!! Everyone is soo sooo nice and I love looking at pics of all their dogs!! The only part I don’t like is that it glitches soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. Also if u could make it possible to post vids that would be great!! ❤️ Also there was this very rude person on this app. Her username was “min lee ❤️ sunny” and so she was full of lies. She pretended she had cancer and a severe mental disorder even though she didn’t. it was very offensive cuz we all know people who have those diseases. She also threatened to kill everyone on this app. She was a jerk!! Also these people on the app are amazing- Makaya Nichols, rookie rocks, my Marley, Luke Jackson, adalyn and pups, Charlie, Boston terrier lover, Lillie bug, snuggle pup, Clark, pet lover2, sunny dog, and anyone else I missed.Version: 8.0.9
✓ Doesn’t workI have had this for 1 week now and every single time I try use it it says to much homework. Pay to check offline. Im not paying for an app that you can’t prove works..Version: 8.2.4
✓ Typical bullying the pitbull breed!!!!My dog is a mix of American Pitbull, shih tzu, and American bulldog according to a DNA test he took months back. I tried the app to see how accurate it was and it wasn’t terrible but it only said pitbull. ANYWAYSSSS when I continued reading about the pitbull on their app they were MEAN!!! They just kept saying how they’re dog and people aggressive and they’re bred for dog fights (which isn’t true they were originally bred as nanny dogs in the UK, not dog fights) AND IT KEPT GOING ON AND ON ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE PITBULLS ARE!!! Like are you serious?? Saying they’re aggressive and the main cause of deaths from dog bites. Literally not giving like any other information other than basically saying they’re terrible dogs and will kill you no matter what. It even said that it’s in their genes to be aggressive. Which that’s not TRUE!!! Listen my pitty mix is the sweetest most gentle dog you would ever meet. This app is created by people who obviously hate American pitbulls. Y’all are the worst. Glad I didn’t give you my money. Bye..Version: 9.6.4
✓ Make more social.Please Please please make it so that we can post videos...please please please please. Other than that the app is good the scanner is good.But please make it so we can post videos please please.Version: 9.4.4
✓ AdsBombarded with ads and you don’t get to see what the app has come up with for the dog breed. Depleting.Version: 8.0.24
✓ CrapEverything’s a mixed breed to this app. Waste of time & not worth wasting data allowance on!.Version: 9.6.4
✓ Just a bit wrong…My dog is a white German shepherd not a chow chow 😹.Version: 9.5.0
✓ App only crashesThe only thing this app does currently is close itself, not very useful..Version: 1.4
✓ Not greatTried this app for a little bit of fun didn’t even come up with the breed of dogs we scanned and know from the breeders erc they are they breed very disappointing not accurate.Version: 9.6.4
✓ Not accurateIt said my leonberger was a mixed breed.Version: 9.8.8
✓ Not greatSorry but not my app this keep using different kinda of dogs not even my type of dog sorry not my app.Version: 2.6
✓ THE WORST!!!STAY OFF THIS APP! First of all the scanner is not accurate. Second of all, the amount sex jokes, harassment, bullying, and mean comments on this app is just crazy. The owner of the app hasn’t been active then over a year. The app is poorly designed. Has comments and captions but no notification alert. 75% of the people are kids and stupid. This app is not 4+ might as well put 18+. People have shared phone numbers on there, met in real life, and gotten a 12 year old pregnant. Might as well stay away. Also people will steal pictures of your dogs..Version: 9.8.8
✓ RubbishDon’t buy as I got 5 different results with the same dog from different positions.Version: 9.4.4
✓ Free version doesn’t workScam, doesn’t work unless you pay..Version: 9.8.8
✓ App is crashingJust got this on pre-order. Not sure how to report to the tech team. App is crashing when it tries to figure out the breed. I have high hopes that once this is fixed it will be a really fun app!.Version: 1.0
✓ Not even closeSmall dog, mix breed… did a DNA test and Dog Scanner app didn’t even match ONE of the breeds listed from the DNA swab. Fail!.Version: 9.4.4
✓ BadBad.Version: 9.6.4
✓ This appThis app said my dog was a poodle but really she is a Havanese.Version: 5.0.5
✓ BadIt it not work I said my dog was a golden retriever and it’s a little dog hahahahah.Version: 9.6.4
✓ App crashesDoesn’t work, just crashes every time I even try to open the app..Version: 1.4
✓ What the heck????This app said my chihuahua is a pitbull mixed with Rottweiler.Version: 8.3.5
✓ No. Just no.So I got this app to look at all the cute little pups and stuff in it first I really enjoyed it it was very fun to play! Then a few days later there was an account that was saying bad comments on each of the post. So I thought that was normal so I just reported them and now they’re gone. At least I think... but then the next day after that someone started posting inappropriate pictures. So then I deleted it. Please update this and when they put a picture to post please make sure there’s a dog in that or there’s nothing inappropriate because they’re a lot a little kids on that app. But other than that it’s pretty good!.Version: 9.4.1
✓ Clickbait kind of appJust full of advertising, waste of time.Version: 9.6.4
✓ The social communityNice app but I think the social network could use a little improvement. For one you should be able to reply to people’s comments and be able to tag people there should also be an option to edit your post after you post it, so you can remove your caption or change it or whatever. It’s overall an ok app but I do think it needs a revamp😌.Version: 9.8.8
✓ Adverts have spoilt the appThis app used to be brilliant. Useful, entertaining and accurate. Loved the app, until using just now and the adverts made it completely unworkable. Every page requires a 45 second avert. Too much and not worth it. Sadly deleted..Version: 9.8.8
✓ Not as good as I was hopingGoes off of the colour too much, if you have a rare colouring on a dog it won’t be able to guess it at all.Version: 8.3.5
✓ Just wrongIt told me my doodle was a dachshund 🙄.Version: 9.5.0
✓ Um.. not reallyDog scanner is a great app but when I take a photo of people it uses the same breeds over and over. Also when and scan my dog multiple times it says different breeds each time I scan her🐶 but it’s a good app to do research on a breed but I would suggest a different app for starters maybe this app. Another problem is when I scan myself like 2 times it says I’m different breeds , first it says I’m a Yorkie then it says I’m a different dog but I guess it’s ok for now but I’m gonna get another app soon.Version: 9.8.8
✓ So many adsYou can’t look at anything for longer than 2-3 seconds before an ad pops up. Tap on another breed to compare? Pop up. Close pop up and look at the new breed? You have 2 seconds to take it all in before a pop up. Not to mention it couldn’t be MORE wrong about my dogs. One of them looks nothing like a Chinese Crested (let’s face it, not much does look like one). Another of my dogs has zero similarities to a Maltese. No idea where the app pulled those breeds from. But who knows, I couldn’t look at anything longer than 2 seconds. Deleting this app faster than a pop up ad!!.Version: 5.0.4
✓ Fun, but no very accurateI have two purebred German Shorthaired Pointers, and it said they were both mix breeds between German Shorthaired Pointers and some other random things. I also found some pictures of purebred huskies, and sure enough, it said those were also mixes. I don’t believe it’s very accurate, but it is fun to mess around with. You can also scan your face! It said I was only 85% human and 15% Chihuahua! Since it is free, I do recommend it, but just note that it is not very accurate. 🐶.Version: 7.1.22
✓ DifferentHi your app I love it and everything but I know that my dog is a silver lab and it keeps on saying that she’s a mastiff I don’t know why thought because I’ve done the research and she is a silver lab..Version: 9.1.0
✓ If your under the age of 14 don’t get this appI got this app when I was 12 and at first This app was useful and fun to use but it went downhill when someone posted a picture of their slit wrist in the tab where you post pictures of your dog. After that I should’ve deleted the app but I didn’t and was soon traumatized when a random account began posting nudes and other pictures of people having sex and oral sex. This sparked others to do it and the accounts were banned so slow. This app description says 4 plus but I’m warning you please don’t download this app it literally became porn but in pictures. ( edit) the app doesn’t even let you past the loading screen anymore.Version: 9.6.4
✓ AdsEverytime I click back on the camera an ad pops up everytime.Version: 9.1.3
✓ Told me my dog is a catApparently my dog is a cat now. It said that my cat thinks that is a dog when I do not have a cat I have a husky. It was quite accurate with other dogs but got one wrong..Version: 8.0.24
✓ Quite interesting!As mentioned in other reviews, the app definitely relies a lot on the dog’s colour to make a decision. For example, it said my Alaskan Malamute is actually a Siberian Husky. Mind you - I had put up only one photo. When I tried at least 3 photos, it told me it’s an Alaskan Malamute mixed with Siberian Husky... still wrong, but at least closer. It’s fun to check out but if you want an completely correct evaluation - get a DNA test. :).Version: 8.5.3
✓ RottweilerAnd your app came up with a I don’t even know how.Version: 9.6.4
✓ Not a great startCrashes my iPhone 8 every single time.Version: 1.0
✓ SPOILERS AHEADSeriously!? You have to pay premium!? AND ITS NOT VERY ACCURATE, lol don’t play this or rate it 5 stars it’s a fraud bozo app that does not work they just want their money, greedy idiot devs why the heck would we want your made in China game, my man devs need to touch some grass and get a brain, it’s kinda hard for them to get one anyway, now it’s time to move in to the made in China cat identifier that probably doesn’t work anyway, Get a brain devs!! Also people were saying people were posting 14+ content on a kids game!! THIS!! IS!! FOR!! KIDS!?!?!? Seriously take down your made in China, not working, lazy, stupid, “Dog identifier” you are better off searching for another dog identifier that works!! Please rate this App 1 stars, cringe not working game!! Go home devs! And don’t even think about sending that dev response probably generated by a robot, “wE aRe SoRrY tHaT yOu HaD pRoBlEms” and just take down your bull-crap game you lazy devs!!! And stop using 5-star bot accounts to make you seem cool, get a life and touch some grass!.Version: 9.6.4
✓ Literally just crashes constantly. Don’t bother.Crashes every time..Version: 9.8.8
✓ Dodgy!! front facing camera recording??Why does the front facing camera record while you’re using the app? It also records while you’re watching adds and if you cover it, the add stops. This is very dodgy practice. It seems the app still works if you deny access to the camera, which is the way I would do it if you still want to use the app. I would also only select some photos and not give the app publishes access to your entire camera roll. People will be way too trusting of this app..Version: 9.4.4
✓ Didn’t workClose… not all dog breeds are registered..Version: 9.6.4
✓ Accuracy???Great and fun app but I’m not sure how accurate it is? I know what the breed of my dog and I got a different response but other than that it is fun to see photos of peoples cute dogs.Version: 9.6.4
✓ What happened?!!Since last time I used it it has changed.. wants a subscription otherwise it won’t let you use identifying from photo.. useless now.Version: 9.6.4
✓ Not accurate at allThey said my dog is boxer and bull mastif!! Haha.Version: 8.0.24
✓ I mean I guess it’s kinda good…I found this app in a magazine and I thought hey I have absolutely no idea what mixed breeds one of my dogs is so I downloaded this. First I did one of my dogs which I know what breeds she is ( chihuahua and Yorkshire terrier) and it would say bla bla bla bla Yorkshire 4.6% and stufff like that and that was completely wrong. It never once said anything about her being a chihuahua and it never said anything about what my other dog was. I read another review and I think it’s right. It’s only going off the color of the dog. I wouldn’t use this app for anything important because you can’t really count on it..Version: 9.5.0
✓ Not that goodNot that accurate.Version: 8.1.4
