Tick Detector vs TickBug

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.
