## What is Dog Mood Monitor?

What's your dog been up to? Has it been disturbed by someone or another dog? Was it playing or just missing you? Now you can easily setup a monitoring session to record your dog(s) and analyze their mood while you are away.

When a dog barks the pitch (or frequency) of the bark changes depending on why they are barking. Disturbed or aggressive barks are low pitched with the pitch increasing when they play or feel isolated (missing you).

'Bark'n Mood' analyses the pitch of a bark and color codes the bark in an easily recognizable manner. The same bark from the same dog will look very similar. If you have two dogs of different breeds then it is highly likely you would be able to visually see which dog has been barking. 

Bigger dogs tend to have lower pitched barks, but the pitch changes for all dogs depending on why they are barking.

Further additional features are optionally available:
・Tune the mood analysis legend to better match your dog
・Remote monitoring over iCloud drive
・Emailed periodic updates and barking alerts
・ Alter the conditions that trigger a barking alert
・ Export 16000Hz copies of monitor recordings to Documents or iCloud Drive
・ Email download links to recording copies in iCloud Drive using iOS mail
・ Email of download links to guaranteed unaltered copies
・ Use of location services to prove where the monitoring took place (with the unlimited version)

'Bark'n Mood' has low disk and battery usage with background and screen-locked recording. Monitoring sessions well in excess of 12 hours are possible.

Note: If you have a barking dog noise problem then please have a look at our premium barking management app "Bark'n Mad - Monitor and Check".

### 2/5 — App closes randomly

*2015-11-02, version 1.1.2*

I tried to listen to the first recording of my puppy and the app immediately closed. It closes every time I try to listen to it so now I'll never know what the little guy does while I'm gone.
