I sure hope it’s accurate <3
Nov 22, 2020 I love this app. I don’t know how accurate it is, but I feel like it’s close. We have a 13 year old lady who we are pretty sure we are going to lose soon. Being able to “translate” what’s she’s saying to us is incredibly precious. Also being able to listen back to her meows is something I didn’t know I wanted or needed. Perfect timing, thank you :)more -
Dec 30, 2020 I have been using for my cats. The only issue is their cry when dinner is about to be served appears as "I'm hurting," or "I'm going to attack." These translation are in moments of anticipation, purring, and maybe anxiety. Not sure why it translates them as that as they are super happy, maybe it's something to look over for this beta. I have no issues with app from switching between cats to adding their profile. Maybe a video upload of the cats option will be helpful when training the app.more -
Jan 5, 2021 Incredible, great job. The app worked with our cat without any teaching the app. Our cat came to our room meowing at night, it said Mum Dad where are you? When it saw us - Hello, I'm happy. When she bought her toy near me to play it said I'm hunting and Love me. Every situation seemed to match the translation so far. It even translates different purring. Eg I'm tired when she was sitting on the floor chilling and I started patting her. When she came to me and purred it said come relax with me.more -
Has a lot of potential!
Jan 7, 2021 I was so excited to try out this app when I heard about it on Facebook, and it’s super entertaining. Every time my kitty meows (which is fairly often) I pull up this app and see what it picks up. I noticed that it doesn’t pick up some pretty loud and clear meows, which can be disappointing but it still picks up a decent amount. The other issue I’ve had is that I can’t register my cat, so there’s no way for me to save her translations. I registered with my email so that’s not the issue, hoping a future update will fix this. But this app definitely has loads of potential and I’ve still been enjoying it despite a couple of hiccups!more -
Jan 6, 2021 Fun little app which confirms what I have suspected for a while which is that my cat just wants to tell me she loves me! One suggestion I would like to make is to add an option to tell the app that a particular noise wasn't made by a cat, as it keeps trying to translate the noises made by my creaky old sofa and this makes for some odd results!more

Definitely should stay in Beta - DISAPPOINTED
Nov 25, 2020 I cannot express how excited I was to hear about this app. More than one friend forwarded an article to me about this new technology. I immediately downloaded it and the first time I used the app, it worked, sort of. I created separate profiles for both of my cats. I recorded meows for one of my cats. However, I was disappointed that those sounds were not captured in the history at all. I was more than willing to pay for the premium version in order to store the recordings, but the interface of the app is so skimpy that there is no help section or FAQ section or even a way to upgrade to they are premium version. It didn’t matter because the very next time and there after I have received an error message that isn’t even grammatically correct. It says “Something goes wrong. Check your connection.” I have tried reinstalling the app and I’ve also tried creating another account and nothing has worked. It’s disappointing that this app has garnered so much buzz but simply does not work. I have a perfectly brand new iPhone and no other app has any problem with my connection. Not ready for primetime. Don’t waste yours in frustration.more -
Problems
Nov 18, 2020 1) If you use before registering, then decide to come back and register, it does not carry over the recordings of your cats or that you have input any cats at all. 2) If you go back and ‘skip registering’, the earlier recordings and all the input cats show back up. 3) I have 3 cats, one 15 yr old cat who talks ALL the time. According to the app, all he says is Hello. Hello when he gets up, Hello when he comes in the room, Hello when he’s hungry... While it does sound closely the same, the inflection is different . His purring ’I want attention/more attention’ sound is translated as ‘I’m sleepy’. (Not ’I’m content ‘?) I have put in my alternate interpretation, but now I’m stuck with Problem #4. 4) There is no way I can save what I have recorded/documented without erasing it all in order to ‘register’ the app to me/us. 5) The choices are SO unbelievably BASIC that I have to wonder - sorry here, guys! - do you even HAVE a cat or have you lived with any cats for an appreciable length of time, really? (P.S. I am 73 and I have lived with dogs and cats since I was too young to remember so I have listened to a lot of cats.) Good luck!more -
Dec 27, 2020 Fun idea. Execution needs work. Won't let me change to the correct kitty. Seems stuck on first cat loaded. At first every meow cam back I love you. Now every meow goes to a screen where you want me to decide what the meow means. This a pure guess unless she's being pet and purring at the time. Takes away the point of your app translating if I'm doing the translating. Now it won't stop making me fix each meow. You have a good idea but the app still really needs work.more -
Dec 29, 2020 Not accurate and just for fun.. By chance iam watching movie Florence foster Jenkins, and every time she sings, app recognize her voice as cat sound and translates it. I wish it was based on something true -
Jan 6, 2021 I like the concept, then i download it but it is continuously showing error in starting , please fix this problem as soon as possible ,cause i wanna use this app desperately ...

Amazing
Jan 8, 2021 Overall this is a really amazing app the movie thing I wish was different was if there was more choices for what your cat says because what if your cat is just a different type of cat and they always make a grumpy mouse what happens then is it always says I’m in pain or I’m angry so I definitely wish that they were like choices to tell what kind of cat your cat ismore -
Jan 15, 2021 With my quite vocal cat manages to translate extremely well (based on my previous experience and obvious cat behaviour). Very impressive AI, keep up the good work!

This app is entertaining
Nov 19, 2020 Meows translated may not always be correct for your specific cat but I’ve got a ton of spot on translations. It’s also fun to see translations for meows you are unsure of and what you can take away from it. The one recommendation I have is for the app to allow you to change cats in the history. I had the automatic translation on (for my cat Ben) so it was constantly running. My other cat Ollie also started meowing but it logged under Ben. You can’t change the cat assigned to that recording in the history. You can only change the cat if you initiated a single recording. If that feature could be added that would be great!more -
Jan 12, 2021 so it not bad it's just sometimes it takes my voice and thinks it's a cat so if you can improve on that that would help a lot and I would give a five-star review if it didn't take my voice for what it was so now I have a category for not a cat.bye hope you have a GREAT LIFE 🕶️🤏😋✌️more -
Seems cool but I dont have the chance to actually use
Nov 24, 2020 I saw this on tiktok and it seemed pretty cool so I decided to try it out. I tried signing up and apparently my email is already in use even tho Ive never used this before in my life so I had to use my work email oh well. When I was successfully signed in started finishing creating my cat profiles but when I tried pressing done it just said “Ooooops!” Or something so I cant please fix this.more

Problems with History
Nov 22, 2020 For some reason, only some of the meows I record have saved! I set up an account and have made all of my cats profiles, but I’m sad that a lot of the recordings for the app haven’t saved - especially since my cats aren’t big on meowing so it’s hard to get them to continuously “chat.” I’m not sure if anyone else has experienced this so far, but I have and am not sure how to resolve it. Aside from that, the app is cute and while it isn’t always correct with translations some of them have been spot-on. Hopefully they have a new update soon!more -
Dec 27, 2020 I know the app is in beta, and I waited long for this problem to get fixed but, my app won't even open, it just shows me a bla k white screen with the accept button that I cant even click on. And, that's it, it never goes beyond that.more -
Potential for good and trouble
Nov 24, 2020 I would suggest adding a temperament or some other variable, selectable in cat profile creation, that would make this more accurate for each user right off the bat. My siamese mix has always had a really grumpy, fussy sounding meow. The app keeps saying “I’m in pain!” when she’s clearly happy, or just wants to be let outside. I would be especially careful with that one, or you’ll have people running to the vet saying their cat is in pain, and they know so because their cat translator told them.more -
Jan 2, 2021 I like the concept. But I can't get it started. Everytime I try to log in or continue without an account it says "MeowTalk encountered an application error" -
Jan 14, 2021 Received error message trying to install. Had to Uninstaller and reinstall 4 times before I was able to get it to work.

Jan 11, 2021 Application Error - it won't let me login. It keeps coming up with an error that other people seem to be also experiencing. -
Doesn’t work
Dec 16, 2020 The only response the app gives me is “I’m resting” even when my cat isn’t resting and is making multiple kinds of meows. It also gives this response sometimes when he hasn’t meowed at all. I tried to edit the result for a few I thought I understood but it keeps reverting back to “I’m resting” for ALL of them. And when I have a few recordings (all saying “I’m resting” as the “translation” it won’t play them so I can’t delete the ones where he didn’t meow at all because I can’t tell them apart. Great idea for an app but truly terrible execution.more -
Jan 4, 2021 Once you responded to the issue of the app not working, I was able to use it - ONCE only for each cat. Am I only allowed one recording for a cat? Multiple saved recordings would be nice. -
Jan 6, 2021 Cant sign it. Constantly says application error. I change password. Same thing. Doesn't work at all. Continue without account: application error!!!! Does anything works here?
What’s Groovy
At first the app was saying my cats were in constant pain (I can only assume they need attention so much it hurts or they are just DYING waiting for their dinner to be placed on the floor). Recently it's given much better results that make sense, like "I'm hunting" when they are waiting for food or something like "I need love" when the attention hungry cat meows. I would really like to be able to change the cat like you can change the translation, and to save mp3s of meows.

What’s Subpar
I did the following test: Recorded single cat sound on the computer and played it several times to the app. Here are the results for this one, exact, same sound: - Going to fight you..etc: 3 times - Don't feel well.. etc.: 3 times - Want attention. etc: 2 times - Hunting: 1 times - Where is my dad: 1 times I would expect a normal pattern recognition model to be more consistent. Probably the results are randomized in the hope to make a lucky guess. 2 starts for the idea, implementation is lacking.
