## What is SniffRoute?

SniffRoute keeps dog walks, everyday care and memories in one journal.

Record a walk
Record your route with GPS. Track time and distance, pause when you stop, and add notes, photos or short videos along the way. Walk several dogs together and save the outing to each selected dog’s journal. Background location is used only during an active GPS walk with your permission.

Keep daily care together
Plan feeding, medication, grooming and other routines. Mark tasks complete and add location-free potty or stomach observations. Keep each dog’s care notes and history together. Follow a walking plan that makes room for rest and review each dog’s walking rhythm. Share a care handoff guide with feeding, medication and routine notes when someone else looks after your dog.

Free local tools
Core walk recording, basic journals, care notes, manual backup and export remain available without an account or subscription. Use portable backups, GPX routes and CSV exports to keep your own copies. No smart collar is required.

Optional Premium
Premium is an auto-renewable monthly subscription for past route maps and replay, cloud backup and recovery, and shared care for a selected pet. Purchase or restore without a SniffRoute account. Create a free account only for cloud backup, recovery or shared care. Each caregiver needs their own active membership and must accept an invitation; other pets stay private. Shared care is not live location tracking.

Cloud backup is optional and limited to 50 MB per archive. Automatic backups run while the app is open and no walk is active; they may use cellular data. Cloud storage is access-controlled and is not end-to-end encrypted. Account deletion, deleting local data and cancelling Apple billing are separate actions.

The purchase sheet shows your local price and billing period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when confirmed. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; renewal is charged within the final 24 hours. Manage or cancel in Apple Account subscription settings. Restore purchases is available in the app.

Apple Watch and Live Activities
After setup on iPhone, use Apple Watch to control a walk and record moments. On iOS 16.2 and later, a Live Activity shows walk status without pet names or precise locations. Neither is required to use SniffRoute.

No ads or cross-app tracking. Weather sharing is optional. Health, weather and paw-safety information is for everyday planning, not veterinary diagnosis or emergency monitoring.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-28

Getting started now takes five clear steps. Quick log is easier to reach on Today. Journal, Care, and Pets have clearer empty states, less repeated information, and more consistent text and spacing.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-16

Fixed a background color break below the care calendar and improved background continuity while scrolling in light and dark appearances.
Pull-to-refresh now uses consistent sequential paw prints and a fine orange-gold route line, with backgrounds that match each page.
Walk recaps now celebrate growth with a 3D paw medallion, soft lighting and a new level-up animation.
Ordinary XP feedback is shorter, while level-ups have a complete reveal. You can skip or replay without adding extra XP.
Each completed outing earns 25 XP, with a new level every 100 XP.
Reduce Motion presents the final result directly, and growth details remain readable with larger text.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-15

First-time setup now uses paper-style illustrations and lets you set a daily walking goal or decide later.
Refined type, spacing, and cards make the app easier to read.
Each completed outing earns 25 XP, with a new level every 100 XP.
