About

DogStations

Read full description

Why do you need this app? If you have a dog you are usually taken one or more walks per day. As it might be boring to walk always the same route you might want to experience new ways and probably drive somewhere. But what happens if you dog make what he is intended to do during the walk and you want to take the poop with you and deposit it in the next trash. Unfortunately you were never there and have no idea where the next trashcan might be. Here is where Dogstations come into play and show you - if an other Dogstations user has been there before and marked the place - where it is. It is quite easy to register a new station while you pass it with a few clicks and every Dogstations user can see it immediately.
