## What is The Mantrailing App?

The Best and Easiest Way to Capture and File Your Trainings

Focus on your training – the rest is taken care of with just a few clicks. Record trails, capture key details automatically, and work in real-time with the Virtual Trainer. Thanks to automatic data capture and the ability to visualize multiple trails, documentation and analysis are more efficient than ever.

== Visualize and Compare Trails on One Map ==
View both the runner’s trail and the mantrailing team’s trail on a single map. Analyze performance and optimize your training based on your performance.

== Train More Efficiently with the Virtual Trainer ==
Work without a backup person. Load the runner’s trail into the app, activate the Virtual-Trainer-Corridor, and receive real-time alerts if your dog moves too far from the trail. This makes training more structured and effective, even when working in pairs.

== Highlight Key Events with Waypoints ==
Use Waypoints to highlight key events or locations during your trail. Add them anytime while recording to make your training documentation even more precise and meaningful.

== Live Tracking and Real-Time Sharing ==
Share your trail live via link with teammates or friends so they can follow your trail in real time. Whether they are on-site or at a distance, they can watch your progress as it happens, making training more interactive and engaging.

== Train with Friends and Save Time ==
As a runner, record your trail, export it, and share it instantly from the finish line. No need to walk back – laying long trails has never been easier.

== Generate Detailed Training Documentation ==
No more handwritten notes or disorganized data. With one click, create professional training reports, including maps, weather conditions, and custom notes. Export as a PDF to share or store in the cloud.

== All Trails Always in Sync ==
Create an account to automatically sync all your trails across multiple devices. Access your data anytime, anywhere.

== Automatic Weather Data Capture ==
Log all relevant weather conditions automatically, including temperature, wind speed, rainfall, and more. This ensures precise training records with minimal effort.

== Advanced Performance Insights ==
Analyze trail deviations, speed, search efficiency, and environmental influences to refine your training. During recording, see all key data – including distance, duration, and deviation – at a glance.

== Get Started for Free ==
The Mantrailing App is the perfect tool for every mantrailer and trainer. Optimize your training, increase efficiency, and improve your results.

### 4/5 — Planungstool

*2026-07-29*

Wann kommt das Planungstool? Runnertrails vorplanen, einzeichnen und verschicken?
Ansonsten gern und oft genutzt..

### 3/5 — Spanish

*2026-05-29, version 3.3.0*

Spanish please

### 1/5 — Unable to open runners tracks

*2026-02-04*

Bought pro via upgrade option in app, unable to use. It errors “already an active subscriber using receipt.” Contacted support, days later they send me the same file available in the help section that provides no help, is not relevant, still cannot use and no refund. I have hours into restarts, redownload, and reading help files.  No help from support, waste of $

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. Please follow the instructions on the following webpage: https://www.the-mantrailing-app.com/guides/working-with-gpx-files. If these do not help, please send me an email to help@mantrailing.app and I am happy to help you figure out the problem.
Best wishes,
Niklas

### 5/5 — So muss es sein

*2025-12-16*

Danke für die schnelle Hilfe. Läuft super, bin sehr zufrieden mit der App

### 1/5 — Does not import trails (iphone)

*2025-11-08*

Looks like it would be good, does not show up to “open with” section on iphone to import a shared trail. There is no option in the app to choose  “import” i’ve spent 2 hours updating, re-installing, and googling to no avail. (Iphone 16) I found no help for this, the web help is based on pc use, not the phone. It would be hard to run a trail with my laptop…

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. You can find detailed instructions and help on how to import tracks on your iPhone on the following webpage: https://www.the-mantrailing-app.com/guides/working-with-gpx-files. If these do not help, please send me an email to help@mantrailing.app and I am happy to help you figure out the problem.
Best wishes,

### 4/5 — Feature request

*2025-09-20, version 3.0.56*

Hey can you add option to edit start and end of the path? 
Sometimes I forget to stop the app 🥲

### 3/5 — Add to Apple watch

*2025-09-12*

Love the app and has been very useful for our mantrailing antics but would love to be able to add the app to my apple watch too for even better convenience - any chance that could be done ?

### 3/5 — Ganz gut, mit Schwächen

*2025-09-01*

Ich nutze die App im Training für die Rettungshundestaffel. Sie ist eine Erleichterung, hat aber ihre Schwächen. Die Aufzeichnung ist teilweise ungenau und verbraucht relativ Akkukapazität, seit dem Update ist es etwas besser. Wünschenswert wären auch neue Funktionen, wie die Bedienung über die AppleWatch oder die Möglichkeit mehrere Runnertrails zu verbinden, beim Verlegen einer Versteckperson. Leider bekommt man keine Antwort vom Entwickler wenn man eine Nachricht schickt und es gibt auch keine regelmäßigen Neuerungen. Schade, da die App mit dem Abo sogar relativ teuer ist.

**Developer response:** Hallo, 
vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Die neue Version, die ich vor einigen Wochen veröffentlicht habe, bietet genau die Grundlage für viele neue Funktionen, die ich geplant habe. Diese werden in den nächsten Wochen Schritt für Schritt getestet und für alle Nutzer veröffentlicht. Durch die Veröffentlichung der neuen Version habe ich Mails zu Problemen Vorrang gegeben. Die meisten unbeantworteten Mails sind aber beantwortet. Wenn du noch keine Antwort erhalten hast und nicht länger warten möchtest, sende mir doch gerne eine Antwort auf die Bestätigungsmail, die du nach dem Absenden deiner Mail erhalten hast. Dann taucht deine Mail ganz oben bei mir auf und ich antworte dir in den nächsten Tagen.
Viele Grüße,
Niklas

### 5/5 — 1a

*2025-07-08*

Top App , benutze sie zur Schweißhundausbildung. Bei Problem und Fragen 1a Support. Klare Empfehlung.

### 1/5 — New layout isn’t good

*2025-06-11*

The new version of the pro app is no where near as good as the previous version. It definitely needs looking at again. It’s not user friendly and so much less useful. Please please please reinstate the old version or sort this one out. Layout is hard to navigate. Has anyone actually looked at it 🤔
