After you have laid a track, send it to yourself as an email. You can then import the track as many times as you like and use it with several dogs.
Lovely tracking app minor drawback
This is a great app,allows you to have profiles of your dogs, lay a track, flag corners or articles and then let the track “cook”, you can then hit record again and once complete assign it to a dog profile as completed so you can gauge accuracy.
For set permanently marked out tracks that you have completed you can send them to a friend via email for them to open in the app too!
The one drawback is with permanent tracks established, ie for self or for judges that use the same areas constantly for competition; being that once the track is laid you cannot simply save it as a permanent track but have to email the saved track to yourself every time you run a dog over it. It would be easier if there was a function for perm tracks in the app as when you’re in a remote area with limited cell coverage you may not be able to download it.
Overall avg 7/10

Thank you very much for your review.
Great App
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.
This one works!
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 you're 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).

Crashes and doesn't work
First and foremost. I'm an AKC tracking judge and a tracking judge for the Australian Shepherd Club of America. I've 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 (I'm doing VST work).
Even if I weren't an AKC judge, you'd still be able to walk down a sidewalk and know that you're walking in a straight line. Not according to the app. It had me all over the place.
Save your time and money.

Good tracking aid
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.
