Tracking-Dog for Android

App is generally great. Tracks your path (ish) but can get sporadic if you change the orientation of the phone: I have it on a chest mount and when I bend over to reward/pick up something the track looks like I got the zoomies. The one feature that really has made me explore other apps is the lack of one las run-through, or repeat a previous track. You record your track, you get to run it once, and I desperately wish there was one more “pick up” that tracked your blue dot to the original path. As it is, you lay, run, and that’s it unless you leave it running and it will go nuts while you’re putting your dog away (see comment about bending over). So, it does the job. It roughly measures the track while I’m laying, and I haven’t lost anything since using it- although I “pause” the run after the dog finishes to go back and then the time/distance are wrong. Would pay more (maybe feature unlock) to run a “previously saved track” to pick up markers.

The track according to the GPS is a little askew, but that is to be expected given changing skies. I am very unhappy that the clock is off by about 3 to 4 hours. I have to detail that separately. Setting articles on the track is difficult, sometimes it does not register. And, there is entirely too much to do while setting and running a track.

GPS doesn’t work properly! Records weird tracks. All settings are nice like the Details about name, weather, ground, time.

The GPS function doesn't record the track properly, showing a path I didn't take and then not lining up even vaguely with the track the dog took. I was in an open field so there is no reason the GPS didn't work. The app also crashed repeatedly. I like the idea of this app and the journal and weather functions are good but there are other free apps that work just as well for this. I wouldn't recommend this app until the GPS function improves.
