The idea is great but there is much to improve
The core functionality of the Dogo app is fine; the tracking tools and lessons are useful for teaching new behaviours. And I like having a place to store the vital statistics of my dog along with reminders about stuff like flea treatment. However, the app forces a heavy amount of "gamification", such as leaderboards and constant milestone tracking, which it is impossible to opt out of. Because you cannot disable these competitive features, the overall experience becomes really unpleasant. Instead of being able to log our progress and use the training tools in peace, I constantly feel hounded and hassled by the app's need to turn everything into a competition. Reminders is also a useful function but needs better management for being able to bulk delete overdue reminders that haven't been ticked off in the app. It also appears that it is not possible to export historical data - so I cannot have my own personal record of things like vet visits and worming treatments. If there were a simple setting to turn off the leaderboards, and the possibility to export historical data, it would be a great utility. But as a result of all of this, I barely open the app now, even though I paid fo a year's subscription at the start of 2026.
