## What is TickZone?

Ticks are a daily question across the country. TickZone answers it with one honest number: a 0 to 100 tick activity score for your town that reflects conditions right now.

WHAT YOU GET
• A live tick activity score for your town that moves with current conditions, plus a 7 day outlook
• Live conditions right now: temperature, humidity, recent rain, and a plain note on what ticks are likely doing at this hour
• What is driving the score: season, weather, habitat, and your county's Lyme rate
• Which tick species live in your county (deer tick, dog tick, lone star), from CDC surveillance
• Scores for nearby towns, plus any place you save
• A morning brief notification with your town's score, around 7 am
• Spike alerts when a saved place jumps a risk band
• A field guide: prevention that works, what to do when you find a tick, and alpha-gal syndrome basics

BUILT ON PUBLIC DATA
TickZone covers 32,000 towns across all 50 states, from New England to the West Coast. Every score is built from public, citable sources: CDC tick and disease surveillance, state health department case counts, Open-Meteo weather, ESA WorldCover satellite habitat, and U.S. Census town boundaries. Full methodology at tickzone.app/methodology.

HONEST BY DESIGN
The score reflects what is actually happening: current weather and the time of day, layered on season, habitat, and your county's Lyme rate. It moves the way risk moves, ticks pull back in the midday heat and pick up toward dusk, and the app always tells you plainly what is behind the number. Where data is missing, it says so instead of guessing.

TickZone is an awareness tool, not medical advice. If a tick bite worries you, talk to a clinician.

Location is used to find your town and to center you on the map, only while the app is open, and is never linked to your identity. You can also skip location entirely and search for any town.

TICKZONE PRO
TickZone Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription that unlocks hour-by-hour forecasts, a 14 day outlook, spike alerts the evening before, unlimited saved places, and the home screen widget.
• TickZone Pro Yearly: $29.99 per year, with a 7 day free trial

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.

### 3/5 — Broken?

*2026-07-28*

- Weather is basically raining down cats and dogs
- 0’0” of recent rain

Yeah sure buddy

**Developer response:** You caught a real bug. The recent rain total was covering the last 7 days but cutting off at yesterday, so the rain falling on you that day never counted.

It's fixed on our end, so it's already working in the app you have. Sorry about that, and thanks for calling it out.

### 5/5 — So Helpful!

*2026-07-22*

This app has honestly been so helpful for me and my family. We are now able to plan our hikes on days and times where the risk is lower and I’ve been finding significantly less ticks. I am also finding myself much less stressed about being outside and I’ve been getting much more fresh air!

**Developer response:** Planning hikes around the risk instead of skipping them is exactly what we hoped people would do with this. Thanks for writing this!

### 5/5 — Una aplicación increíble

*2026-07-21*

Esta aplicación me ha cambiado la vida. Antes tenía miedo de salir en el bosque por esas garrapatas malditas, pero ya estoy bien gracias a usted!

### 5/5 — Wish I had this earlier

*2026-07-21*

I love TickZone! I live in an area where ticks are present and have a dog who loves to run in the woods and three active kiddos. .. two of my kids (and dog!) have gotten bitten by ticks and one developed a disease from it. I believe that if I had had TickZone to refer to for guidance, some of these bites could have been prevented! I love seeing the hour-by-hour prediction and planning my trail and park -outings with that in mind.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.02 — 2026-07-30

Fixed: the "Recent rain" readout wasn't counting today's rainfall, and the forecast could get stuck showing numbers from an old fetch. The risk model was computing correctly the whole time; the bugs were in what the app displayed. Your town now refreshes every time you open the app, and if the network is unreachable, the app says the data is older instead of presenting it as current.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-25

Behind the scenes improvements to stability and performance, plus faster town detection when you first open the app. Thanks for using TickZone!

### 1.0 — 2026-07-21

No release notes.
