DogTrack App Reviews

Every time. Makes nice maps, easy to use with no learning curve. The GPS is accurate enough, although you get some anomalies near buildings if youre doing urban. I think this is a GPS challenge not an app problem, though. App developer is very responsive to questions-- a huge plus! Definitely my favourite tracking tool so far (dog excluded).

Once my husband and I figured out how to use it this app has been wonderful. As with anything new it took a few tries to get it down. I found that attaching the phone to her harness showed me where she was actually going. In many cases she did better than I thought she had. This program along with video taping what Juno does is very helpful.

First and foremost. Im an AKC tracking judge and a tracking judge for the Australian Shepherd Club of America. Ive been an AKC judge since 1992. Needless to say, I felt that the app would be terrific for my use. Went to use it today. The instruction screen totally locked up, although I had read the instructions before, I was checking to make sure I was doing everything correct. Nothing. White page that then locks up the app. You have to exit the app and then shut your phone off to get the app working again. In the instructions, they tell you that the color will tell you how accurate the GPS is. I had green all of the time, which means the best accuracy. Well, the yardage was WAY off. Half the time it had me walking on the top of buildings (Im doing VST work). Even if I werent an AKC judge, youd still be able to walk down a sidewalk and know that youre walking in a straight line. Not according to the app. It had me all over the place. Save your time and money.

The newest updates and interface is mediocre. This used to be a decent app to use. Problems: the app will shut down while using a laid track even with accuracy in green. The app will not mark an article found unless either the dog or myself are standing exactly where it’s marked. There’s been plenty of times I’ve had to recount my articles after looking at the app, only to have a correct article count that was properly found. Lastly, when using around buildings, especially campuses, the app again even with green accuracy, it sometimes shows my path through a building. I understand there are limitations with satellite/gps accuracy. Maybe you should collaborate with those at What3words to have better accuracy.

We train dogs every day and only use this app. Is without a doubt worth the money. Very easy to work once you figure it out. Never had any issues from it. Highly recommend getting it.

It’s a little hard to get used to laying a track AND dealing with the phone and noting drops while dealing with flags and articles, but I think it will be awesome once I do. I’d love to know how people have attached their phones to the dogs’ harnesses, especially a 16-pound dog.

This app makes tracking training so much easier. I logs the time aged, let’s you place flags, even share tracks with training buddies!! Paid version is absolutely worth it.

I’ve never made it past the opening screen. I have a friend who uses this app and can at least get it to lay the track, but then has an error somewhere in the middle. I’d just as soon get my money back! I DO NOT recommend this app.

This app is very useful and has helped me a lot

Great support and good app to see where exactly dog is in relation to track. Can follow the dog and not worry about not knowing where the track is. Gives handler more confidence in training.
