## Review summary

Dog Scanner is popular for quickly identifying dog breeds and showing breed percentages, and many users praise its fun, dog-lovers friendly vibe and ability to identify breeds for rescue dogs. However, reviews consistently warn about a flood of ads and a push toward premium features, plus mixed results on accuracy—particularly with mixed breeds—along with frequent crashes and occasional misidentifications. Additional concerns include scammy links and photo theft, and a toxic, poorly moderated social feed with homophobia and other inappropriate content. Overall, it delivers usable scans for some, but reliability and safety concerns are significant.
