I created PawtyPal to track my elderly dog's potty habits. She used to have to go at odd times, and so this app helped me track the intervals and quality of her "business." Furthermore, knowing more about the fecal matter from your pets can help determine their overall health! Features: - Add multiple dog profiles - Use Siri to log potties - Save records for each potty break, and select details regarding their fecal matter. Add notes for each record if you want to be super specific! - View historical records for each pet - Glance at how long it has been since your furry friend last pooped. - Quick Actions: Long Press app icon to quickly log poops from Home Screen Have a feature request?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PawtyPal at none against DogJournal's 1. PawtyPal also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 17 months). DogJournal's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
