The game's stability is frequently criticized due to numerous glitches and freezing issues that disrupt gameplay, often causing players to fail or lose progress unexpectedly. While some users report minimal lag and enjoy the overall experience, the recurring technical problems significantly detract from the fun, leading to frustration and requests for fixes. Overall, the game's stability is a major concern for many players, impacting their enjoyment.
“I got this about a week ago and I already have over half the pets! Such a good game, 100% recommended because it's just so fun and there are no glitches. Amazing creativity - I love the bios of the pets, the names, and the cars are amazing. The panda is hilarious, and the graphics are top-notch!”
“But even so, it's a great game and the game runs great.”
“Overall, it's a cool app with no lags, no bugs, and no glitches.”
“However, the pure number of times that I have run into lag, glitches, and even an inability to open the game (this rarely ever occurs to me!) heavily brings down my rating.”
“First, when you pick up certain items or when the map loads in, it freezes up and causes you to crash into obstacles.”
“Great game but when you get to having almost all the animals, the game freezes up and won't open.”

The game is praised for its lack of advertisements, providing a seamless and enjoyable experience for players. Users appreciate the minimal in-game purchases and the overall free-to-play model, which enhances the game's accessibility and enjoyment. However, some players express a desire for more content updates and features, despite the absence of ads being a significant positive aspect.
“I love this game! It is very good. I like how over time the rounds get faster. I also like how they added cars that can be used as a shield for one time; it can also make you faster at the start. I appreciate that they added a coin cost for a car instead of all emeralds. There are no ads in this game. Love the game!”
“It is very playable and rarely has in-game purchases, which I like!”
“Best game! Not bad, it is very addictive and has no ads. Very surprising!”
“Ive been playing Dash Tag for years, at one point I thought it was removed from Google Play but I'm glad I still found it. I don't get ads anymore (been a few weeks since I played so that could change) but I would assume that because this game isn't updated anymore, there's not much to update as an endless runner. Some new skins and pets would be really neat, though I know this game will most likely never get another update.”
“It is sad how you have to run from somebody who is not mean, so that is why I really meant 0 stars. If you want me to put 5 stars, you have to put a mean person in it and remove the ads. Of course, I only put 1 star so I can post this, but I really meant 0 stars.”
“I really hate this game and every time I got near an animal I'd die and there were no 'save me' ads.”

Overall, there is a consensus that adding a narrative element could enhance player engagement.
“I love it so much; it's easy and has a story to it unlike most endless runner games.”
“Anyways, I think the game should have more story, like why is the pet running!?”
“Things I dislike about this game: it's not an original idea, there's no story.”

“I think it's hilarious when the panda is floating or the animals tag their clone!”
“Fun and the animals are cute, and their descriptions are funny! 😊”

The gameplay is generally praised for its simplicity and addictive mechanics, likened to an engaging version of Subway Surfers, particularly in the pet-collecting aspect. However, players have reported issues with lag and glitches that can detract from the experience, as well as concerns about cloud save functionality. Despite these drawbacks, many find the gameplay enjoyable and are eager for additional content and options.
“I absolutely love the mechanics and how simple and fun this game is; it's basically Subway Surfers but more engaging!”
“Although, I do wish that they would add more pets and more gameplay options, but other than that, it's great.”
“I can't tell you about bugs, just because I haven't experienced many, but this is addictive! Collecting all the pets is so fun.”
“I lost a few hours of gameplay to the cloud save; if you can, make it so it either asks for which data to load or just prioritize local saves.”
“I think there is something wrong with the horse catching mechanics.”
“The only thing is it is a bit glitchy, but it doesn't affect the gameplay; it can just look a bit weird every now and then.”
