### 4/5 — Important app idea

*2025-12-01, version 1.2*

I think this app is great for owner to track changes for own peace of mind and home tracking. However I do feel like interpretation of lameness and pain can be missed by people who aren’t attuned to seeing this regularly. For example what constitutes “lameness” or “stiffness” to the owner? 

Could it be more specific by giving examples for owners to think about such as “does your dog seem more hesitant using/getting on to furniture”/“does your dog vocalise or seem laboured when getting up from rest or changing position” / “does your dog ever hold their leg up on a walk” / “does your dog “bunny hop” when running” etc etc. 

I think the question asking about whether they stop or sit on a walk is a really great example of this and how more specificity may be useful to detect things that may otherwise be missed. Great idea and great app though more honed info like this would further help guide owners I think (speaking from experience of friends/family who haven’t detected it in their own pet as didn’t know what the signs of mobility decline were)

### 5/5 — The Goose

*2025-07-27, version 1.2*

Great App to help and educate dog owners track their dogs mobility. Easy to use and helpful reminders.
