## What is Tick Detector?

Tick Detector turns your iPhone into a lightning-fast tick scanner for dogs and other pets — no internet, no sign-up, just instant peace of mind.
Optimized for dogs but also usable on cats and even horses, it uses a real-time negative filter so bright dots pop against the coat and help you spot ticks and fleas before they bite.

Why Pet Owners Love It
• Offline scanning — perfect for trails, parks, backwoods
• Torch mode — one-handed checks in low light
• Reminders — daily, every 2 days or weekly with 1-hour snooze
• Privacy — images stay on your device

How It Works
1. Open Tick Detector and aim the camera at your dog.
2. Inverted colours highlight ticks, fleas and other tiny pests.
3. Move slowly — bright spots stand out in negative view.
4. Tap the flashlight if lighting is poor.

Key Features
• Negative Filter: real-time, contrast-boosted view for dog fur
• Smart Reminders: auto-skip if you’ve scanned today
• Notification Actions: Snooze or Scan Now straight from alert
• Tip Jar: optional in-app tip to support updates
• In-App Review: prompt appears only after meaningful use
• Lightweight & Battery-friendly: no accounts, ads or tracking

Quick Guide (30 sec)
1. Brush your dog’s coat.
2. Use good lighting or enable the torch.
3. Scan slowly and watch for bright dots.
4. Remove ticks with tweezers, disinfect the area and monitor skin.

Disclaimer
Tick Detector is a visual aid, not a medical device. Detection accuracy is not guaranteed. If you find a tick or notice skin changes, consult a veterinarian.
