Helped me care for my best friend

I used the Ralph app consistently for over 7 months to track my 16+ year old best friend's health and quality of life. I'd tried other QoL tracking methods in the past and, while they were more detailed, they were so much harder to maintain. Ralph helped me see when my boy was having difficulty, and when he was rebounding. Ultimately, he suffered an unexpected sudden and severe health crisis so I no longer had to decide "When" - but knowing that my tracking through Ralph showed that his quality of life was likely not going to get a lot better, it was easier to know that I didn't want to subject him to further interventions.

Thanks for this app. I'll be recommending it to others.

Response from developer

I am incredibly sorry for the loss of your sweet boy. Losing a companion of 16 years is heartbreaking. Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot to hear that Ralph helped give you some peace of mind during those tough moments. That is exactly why we built it. I also want to thank you for helping me improve the app and make it better for everyone. Wishing you all the best while you heal.

Lovely App

Does just what we need it to do for tracking for Buckley, our 12 year old Boston Terrier. One question - I am not able to save my daily entry. When I try to input data for a previous day, the submit button isnโ€™t active. I know itโ€™s me - what am I doing wrong?? Many thanks!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words and also for reaching out to me regarding the issue you encountered, I'm glad we could resolve it together. I wish you all the best!

Game changer for CCD pup

Weโ€™ve been using this for a couple months to better understand our dog with canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD, aka doggy dementia). Itโ€™s been an absolute game changer by helping to balance our emotions and assumptions with objective data. The trends and tips are helpful too. Iโ€™ve even started tracking for our younger dogs. Thank you for creating this app. It helps so much to have new insight into the wellbeing of our precious pups.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It means a lot to me to hear that the app is helping you care for your dog with CCD. Balancing emotions with objective data during challenging times is exactly what I hoped to support. Your feedback really motivates me to keep improving the app. Wishing you and your precious dogs all the best!

Great tool to help track my older dog.

My vet recommended we start a journal for my older dog to keep track of his good and bad days. I found this app. I love the scale at the top super easy to read. I also love the note section. I canโ€™t thank you enough for the app!

For future updates maybe consider: to have some more details in the sliding scale by making it broader maybe 1-10. I feel like my dog is in between two descriptions on a few. Or maybe a place where we could add our own number of overall how they are doing. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind review! I'm happy to hear that my app is helping you track your senior dog's journey. I appreciate your suggestions about the rating scale. Your point about wanting more granularity makes perfect sense - every pet parent knows those "in-between" days! The current 5-point scale was indeed a conscious decision to keep daily tracking simple and sustainable, with the philosophy that 0=bad, 3=manageable, and 5=great, with steps in between for nuance. That said, your feedback about wanting more precision is valuable. I'll explore some options in the next update. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with my app. Give your senior pup an extra hug from me! ๐Ÿพโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

Needs improvement

Just started using the app and here are a few early impressions:

The water intake scale needs to be somehow modified so that one can indicate abnormal increase in water intake, as well as decrease.

The user should be able to enter information for days previous to the day the app was downloaded. I fully remember what yesterday was like.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback on the app. I'm continuously working on improving or adding useful features. Regarding tracking abnormal water intake changes, I would recommend using the notes feature, which are included in the PDF export. It is actually possible to enter data for previous days either by using the calendar view or clicking the chart dots.
