## What is RUA TRACE?

Walks bring neighbors together on RUA TRACE.

Keep memories of walks with your dog, and share photos and short stories with local dog people.

NEIGHBORHOOD WALK FEED
Create a post with a photo and note, or choose content from a completed walk. Review and confirm before publishing: private walks are never automatically posted. Encourage your neighbors and leave short comments. Report and block actions are available in More menus.

CHOOSE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
With your permission, a foreground location check helps find your current neighborhood. You can also search for and choose an area without granting location access, and browse other neighborhoods.

PET-FRIENDLY PLACES
Find parks, cafes and restaurants with clear allowed, not allowed or needs-checking labels. Share your visit experience in a review. Available data and reviews are not a venue guarantee; confirm current rules directly before visiting.

YOUR PRIVATE TRACE
Record elapsed time, distance and collected GPS samples. Gaps and paused sections are not joined by fabricated routes, and missing historical GPS is not reconstructed. Time-only recording is available without location permission.

NEIGHBORHOOD TRACE
Separate from the photo feed, optional contributions are aggregated into 150m cells and shown only with at least three distinct active accounts. Exact personal routes are not published. Areas with few contributions may be empty.

Register and sign in with Kakao, Google or Apple. Manage your dog and walk records, search veterinary hospitals by area or name, and open the official RUA website through GEAR.

Request account deletion in Account Settings. Processing continues without additional operator approval. A completion notice is sent after final verification when a valid registered email is available.

Support and privacy: cs@ruatrace.com.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

• Refined stationary GPS drift filtering and duration calculations when editing the end time.
• Updated sharing previews and neighborhood route images to match the record design.

### 0.3.5 — 2026-09-23

We refined walk tracking and the way completed walks are kept and revisited.

- Walk time and routes are recorded while valid GPS locations are available, and longer signal gaps are no longer joined by an artificial straight line.
- RUA TRACE can remind you to check the walk when no meaningful movement is detected for an extended period.
- On Today, choose a suggested time window or set your own date and time for a one-time reminder.
- Every 10 completed walks with GPS routes can be combined into one TRACE ART piece in your private archive.
- Save or share a route image, including a version that combines your selected photo and route.
- Today has been simplified so key information and actions are easier to follow.
- Sign-in now uses the official RUA TRACE authentication domain while preserving continuity with existing accounts and records.
- Google Places now provides place search, nearby veterinary hospitals, place details, and available venue photos.
- Pet-access visitor reviews now update place-list status and availability filters after you save a review.
- Added optional installation and usage measurement, which can be enabled with consent and turned off in Settings.

### 0.3.2 — 2026-09-13

Share walks with your neighbors and check places to visit with your dog more easily.

- A neighborhood feed with photos and short posts.
- Create a post directly or choose a photo and note from a completed walk.
- See encouragement and comment counts, leave short comments, and find report and block actions in More menus.
- Search for and choose an area, with clearer pet-access labels and visit reviews.
- Improved Kakao, Google and Apple registration, authentication recovery and startup after account deletion.
- Refined GEAR website links and photo sharing.
- A new RUA icon with a small TRACE wordmark and a charcoal launch screen.

### 0.3.0 — 2026-09-02

What’s New in 0.3.0

- Walk records now preserve the GPS route you actually followed, together with time and distance.
- Added Neighborhood TRACE: share preset walking-area observations and view them only after three different active accounts confirm the same type within the same 150 m area.
- Neighborhood TRACE does not display names, RUA IDs, exact contributor counts, or individual walking routes. You can agree, disagree, report information, or withdraw your own contributions.
- Improved sign-up and login reliability, including social login recovery.
- You can now search for veterinary hospitals directly by area or hospital name without granting location access.

### 0.2.0 — 2026-08-26

No release notes.
