Read full descriptionHide full description
Ectolog is a care log for keepers who know their animals: snakes, lizards, geckos, tortoises, frogs, tarantulas and more. WHO'S DUE, AT A GLANCE Today shows who's due this morning and tonight, who's late, and what each one usually eats. Tap an animal and the meal is logged, with Undo if you slip. REMINDERS THAT FOLLOW EACH ANIMAL Set each animal's own rhythm: every 14โ21 days, every Tuesday, or once a month. One reminder in the morning and one in the evening, with Fed and Tomorrow buttons right in the notification. A reminder to thaw frozen prey the night before, and a heads-up when a UVB bulb is due for replacement. YOUR RECORDS, YOUR WAY Feedings and refusals, weights with a clear chart, sheds and molts, medication courses, vet visits, notes and photos. Tarantulas get premolt, molt numbers and leg span, and feeding waits after a molt. Moving from a spreadsheet? Import it. WIDGETS AND SIRI Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with a working Fed button. Log a feeding with Siri. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS Your records stay on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, in sync across your devices. Export a spreadsheet, a full backup or all your photos whenever you like โ exporting is always free. ECTOLOG PRO Free covers up to 10 animals with every log and reminder, the Due Today widget and Siri. Pro adds: โข Unlimited animals โข Weigh day and feeding night: log the whole collection in one go โข Feeder stock that counts down with each feeding โข Insights: meals, refusals, growth and molts in numbers โข A PDF report for your vet, a buyer or a sitter โข Photo compare and the Feeding List widget Pro is available monthly, yearly with a 7-day free trial, or as a one-time purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Akinguar at none against Ectolog's 3. Akinguar also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Ectolog's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
