Barkwave is a beautifully crafted iOS companion for dog owners - dog management, training journal, walk tracker, and health record rolled into one warm, focused app. TRAINING A focused full-screen training mode with a big tap target for clicker work and a one-tap Recall Whistle button in the corner for cuing your dog mid-session. Every session is timed, click-counted, and saved to a per-dog training calendar so your streaks build over time. MONTHLY ACHIEVEMENTS Hit a 7-day training streak to earn a monthly achievement medal. Each of the 12 calendar months has its own unique medal design, ribbon colour, and theme. Cards accumulate in a swipeable gallery you can share. Keep the habit going and watch your collection grow across the year. WALK TRACKING Dog walk recording. Tap Start, put your phone in your pocket, and Barkwave logs the route, distance, pace, and time. Finish to see a clean map summary with a stats grid and a dog-reaction picker. Share to social with a privacy-aware "trim route ends" toggle that hides your start and end points. HEALTH JOURNAL Per-dog notes by category (digestive, energy, appetite, behaviour, injury, medications, vet visits) with severity tags. Track vaccinations and medications with flexible schedules - daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom days. Mark medications as given straight from the notification. WEIGHT TRACKING Add entries in lb or kg. See the trend chart, summary stats, and full history. Diet card on the same screen tracks food name, portion per meal, and today's intake. PDF HEALTH REPORTS Export a beautifully designed personalised veterinary report PDF - dog photo, vital stats, summary grid, health notes, medications table, vaccination record, weight trend chart, and diet info. Hand it to your vet at the next visit. NOTIFICATIONS Weigh-in reminders, daily training nudges, meal reminders with a custom day/time editor, medication reminders with "Mark as given" actions, and birthday reminders that save to your Calendar. WIDGETS Single action widget lets you open Training, Walks, Health or Weight screen straight from your home screen. MULTI-DOG Manage multiple dogs in one profile. Press on the name of your pet to switch profiles instantly. Streaks, history, and notes are all per-dog. APP ICONS Pick from 5 free themes (Amber, Cream, Sage, Coral, Navy), each with light, dark, and tinted variants. Premium icons available with Barkwave Pro. SOUND LAB Carefully synthesised sounds tuned for dogs: a clicker and two standout originals. The Recall Whistle fires a real pip-pip pattern at 1.8 kHz - a frequency dogs are highly sensitive to, used by professional trainers to build a reliable come-when-called response. The Heartbeat plays a slow lub-dub loop at 60 BPM, widely recognised for calming anxious dogs and puppies - the same principle behind the Snuggle Puppy. Tap to play, tap to stop. PRIVACY-FIRST All data stored on-device. No accounts, no servers, no analytics. Location is only used during walks and never leaves your phone. Sound tuned for good dogs. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Barkwave Pro | $7.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.3 — 2026-07-14 Big reliability and feature update: Your data is safer • Your dog's records are now stored in a backed-up file with an automatic safety copy, so an app update or reset can't wipe them. • New in Settings → Data: export and import your data as a backup file you can keep anywhere. • Pro: Automatic iCloud backups (daily, weekly, or monthly) saved to your Barkwave folder in iCloud Drive. Restore any snapshot with one tap. Walks • Tap the Dynamic Island during a walk to jump straight back to it. • If Barkwave is closed mid-walk, you can pick up where you left off. • Walking auto-pauses if Location is turned off mid-walk. • Bigger, bolder stats on shared walk photos and videos, with a branded loading screen while your video renders. Health • Tap any note to open and edit it; long-press notes, vaccines, and medications for quick Edit and Delete. • Edit existing medications without losing their reminders. • PDF health reports export smoothly without freezing the app. Reminders & widgets • Daylight-saving and timezone changes no longer shift reminders. • Meal reminders now work correctly with multiple dogs. • The Today widget rolls over at midnight on its own. • Log a meal manually from the weight screen if you missed the alert. Plus improved audio handling during calls, clearer pricing, an easier Restore Purchases flow, and many smaller fixes. ### 1.2 — 2026-06-19 What's new • Lock Screen Live Activity - see your walk's distance, time and pace on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while you're out • Achievements - 13 milestones to earn (first walk, week-long streaks, 100 walks, 1,000 clicks and more). View them all in your dog's profile, with progress bars on the ones you're working toward • Pack Master - earn every achievement to unlock an exclusive app icon, a permanent crown badge next to your dog's name, and a special full-screen celebration • Today's walk widget - a new home-screen widget showing your current streak, today's walks, and your closest-to-unlock achievement • Refreshed home screen - cleaner layout, more focused on what matters Fixes • Edge-swipe back no longer occasionally lands on an empty walk screen • Several small polish improvements to icons, spacing, and labels ### 1.1 — 2026-06-07 WHAT'S NEW - Walk share as video – walk summaries can be exported as a 9:16 Stories video that animates the route, counts up the stats, and includes Barkwave branding. - Walk share photo refresh – Barkwave logo added to the bottom of the static walk image. - Onboarding refresh – updated copy to reflect the full scope of the app (walks, weight, training, health, reminders, sounds). Tap anywhere outside the keyboard now dismisses it. FIXES - Text selection (tap-and-hold, drag-to-select, Select All) restored throughout the app. - Swipe-to-delete on the Walks list now reliably removes the walk. - Swipe-back gesture now takes you back one screen at a time - sub-screens return to their parent instead of jumping home. HOW TO TEST THE NEW VIDEO EXPORT 1. Complete onboarding. 2. Walks → Start walk → walk briefly → Finish walk. 3. On the walk summary, tap the share icon → switch to the "Video" tab → tap "Share video". 4. After a few seconds the system share sheet opens with the generated MP4 (1080×1920, ~5 s). ### 1.0 — 2026-06-02 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
