Great App

I have had this app for years and am very pleased with it. I enjoy seeing my dog interact with my step goals. Had a question, contacted customer service, and quickly everything was resolved.

Will you update this to work with iOS 27??? I love the app but now I can’t use it anymore! It just says step dog needs to be updated to make it work with iOS 27
