Terms of Service
Last updated: 5 November 2026
These terms govern your use of CatLingo, published by Hugo Software. By installing or using the app you agree to them.
What CatLingo is — and what it is not
CatLingo measures the sound your cat makes and names the intent profile it is closest to, with a model similarity percentage. That percentage is not an accuracy score.
CatLingo is for entertainment only.
- It is not a translator. There is no cat language, and the app does not claim to translate one. The speaking game is a game: the meows it plays carry no meaning.
- It is not a diagnostic tool and not veterinary advice. A result is a statistical guess about a sound, nothing more.
- If you are worried about your cat's health or behaviour, see a veterinarian. Do not use this app to make decisions about your animal's care.
You accept that results may be wrong, and that you use them at your own risk.
Subscription — CatLingo PRO
The free version of CatLingo lets you take 5 microphone readings a day, keeps the last 3 readings visible in the journal, supports one cat profile, and includes the eight sounds and the speaking game.
CatLingo PRO is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited readings, the journal (the newest 400 readings per cat), the mood chart and weekly card, multiple cat profiles and a model on your device that learns from your "Was that right?" answers. There is one model for your device; it is not a separate model per cat.
- Plans and price: the available plans (such as weekly, yearly or monthly) and their prices are shown in the app and in Google Play, in your local currency, before you confirm.
- Introductory offers: a plan may include a free trial or a paid introductory period. If it does, its length, its price and the price that follows are shown in Google Play before you confirm. Offers can change, and they may be limited to new subscribers.
- Renewal: the subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the price you agreed, until you cancel.
- Payment is charged to your Google Play account when you confirm a paid period, when a free trial ends and at each renewal.
- Cancelling: open Google Play → Menu → Subscriptions → CatLingo and cancel at any time. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel before the trial, the introductory period or the current period ends. Cancelling stops future renewals; the subscription stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for.
- Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. You must cancel it in Google Play.
All payments are processed by Google Play. We never see your card or payment details. Refunds are handled by Google under the Google Play refund policy; we cannot issue refunds ourselves, though we will help where we can.
Prices may change. If the price of your subscription changes, Google will notify you and, where required, ask for your consent before the new price is charged; you can cancel instead.
Your device, your data
CatLingo stores your readings, your own lines, cat profiles and settings on your device only. We have no copy and cannot restore them for you. If you delete the app data, uninstall the app, or lose the device, the history is gone.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, resell or redistribute the app, and do not use it in any way that breaks the law. The app, its interface, its text and its images are owned by Hugo Software and are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use.
Availability and changes
We may update, change or discontinue the app or any of its features. We try to give notice where it matters, but the app is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
