Frequently asked
Before you download
Is TrackMyPaw free?
Yes. The free tier records up to five GPS walks and includes every dog, the full care schedule with reminders, the vet report, Places, the journal, photos and stats. Pro removes the walk cap, with a 7-day free trial first.
Can I track more than one dog?
Yes, as many as live with you. At the start of each walk you tap the dogs who are coming, and everything (distance, weight, medication, notes, achievements) is kept per dog.
Can my partner and I track the same dog?
Today one account holds your dogs, so whoever holds the phone records the walk. Sharing a dog across a household, with each person's walks and care tick-offs in one place, is planned.
Does it keep recording with the screen off?
With location set to "Always" in iPhone Settings, yes: the route keeps drawing while the phone is locked or in your pocket. With "While Using the App", iOS pauses recording the moment the screen locks. The app explains this when you start your first walk.
Where do the places come from?
From OpenStreetMap, the map that volunteers keep up to date around the world. Parks, water bowls, dog parks, vets and groomers. You can add your own spots too, and those stay private to you.
Can I give my vet a record of my dog's health?
Yes. The vet visit report gathers the health card, weight history, treatments and daily care into one PDF you can share ahead of the appointment or show on the phone.
What kind of reminders can I set?
Anything with a rhythm: daily tablets, monthly flea and tick, quarterly worming, yearly vaccines, feeding, training, grooming. Each sends a notification at the time you chose, and you can tick it off right there.
Is there a leaderboard or a streak?
No. There used to be a leaderboard and we removed it. Goals are ones you set yourself, and skipping a day changes nothing.
Which devices does TrackMyPaw support?
iPhone, running iOS 15.1 or later, in English and Ukrainian. There is no Android version yet.
Do I need a GPS collar or any extra hardware?
No. Your iPhone records the walk. There is nothing to buy or charge.
What happens to my location data?
Routes are stored in your account so you can see them in your journal. Location is recorded only while a walk is running, it is never sold, and no one else can see your routes unless you share a card yourself. The privacy policy spells out exactly what is kept and for how long.
Does it work in Ukrainian?
Yes, fully. Switch the language in Settings, or let it follow your phone.
