Functionality 4/5

The app has an extensive list of sounds under three categories which are dog barks and noises, fun sounds and sound effects, and wild dog sounds and barks. Some of the sounds the app has include dog whistle, dog barking, cat, and more! You also get to learn how dogs communicate with you through their body language. You can listen to the various dog barks associated with particular messages they try to get across.

Design 3/5

Despite being a great idea and offering such thoughtful functionality for pet lovers, the app does not have an equally great design, majorly because of the visuals and choice of background color. However, there are certain commendable factors with the design such as a lack of clutter and clear-cut user interface elements. For example, the tabs are placed at the bottom of the screen and can navigate you to all features in the application.

Usability 4/5

The aesthetic aspect of the application’s interface may be poor, but the design itself with regards to the positioning of control elements provides for simple navigation. Once you are on the Home page, a single tap on any of the buttons on the navigation bar will take you to any of the features you are interested in accessing. This is the kind of application that you will use intuitively, even without tutorials or initial confusion. In various features pages, you have options to choose from, and these are represented by an image and a name title associated with it. This makes it easy for you to differentiate the available options you have. For example, in the Dogs feature, the page has images of various types of dogs and a descriptive title such as Small Dog. There are no user inputs needed such as entering texts and signing up for a user account, and therefore the user hits the ground running in terms of using the app.

Cross-Platform Use 3/5

Dog Sounds & Body Talk is compatible with iOS devices only. This means that the application cannot be installed on Android and Windows mobile devices. You can download the app on the App Store for your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. If you want to install it on your device, there is a minimum software requirement, so your iDevice must be running on iOS 8.0 or later for compatibility.
