An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A charming idea: a dog on your Apple Watch face cheers your steps and motivates you to walk. But the tech stumbles: the complication shows the pet as a white silhouette or vanishes entirely after iOS updates, and step counts are consistently off by a couple thousand for some.

What people use it for

Dog lovers who want playful Apple Watch motivation rather than pharmacy-grade counting accuracy.

What reviews praise

The dog on the watch face genuinely motivates walking, and the breed often matches your own pet.
For those where it works, pleasing the pup every day feels rewarding.

What reviews complain about

After iOS updates the dog disappears or turns into a white silhouette, the app crashes on newer iPhones, and step counts can run thousands short.

What users experience

after the most recent update, the pet just shows up as a white silhouette on my apple watch
