1.1.0
June 17, 2026
Pawcast 1.1 — See where your dog actually walks GPS Walk Routes are here. Every walk is now recorded as a beautiful map of where you went together — colored by pavement temperature so you can see at a glance which streets were too hot for paws. What's new: • GPS Walk Routes (Pro) — Pawcast records your walking route on an Apple Maps view, in real time, even when your phone is locked in your pocket. • Heat-overlay route — your route is color-coded by the pavement temperature it crossed. Green is safe, amber is caution, red means paw burns in seconds. • Walk Recap — tap any saved walk to see the route map, distance, pace, elevation, end-of-walk weather, and walk score for your dog's breed. • Share a walk — one tap sends the recap to iMessage, Stories, or anywhere else. • Live tracking map — watch your route grow under the timer as you walk. • Background tracking — record routes hands-free with your phone in your pocket. Battery-optimized. This is the biggest update Pawcast has shipped. Every walk is now a story you can revisit. To get GPS routes: open Settings → Pawcast → Location and choose "Always" the first time you start a walk. Questions or breed requests? Settings → Send Feedback. Happy walking.
