This update makes medications far smarter — especially the ones you give only when your dog needs them. AS-NEEDED MEDICATIONS • Log every dose, with the time — give a second dose the same day and both are kept • Set "every N hours" and get a reminder when the next dose is due • Note the symptom behind each dose — upset stomach, itching, pain, and more SYMPTOM INSIGHTS • See how often a med is given, flare-up clusters, and the reasons over time • Spot patterns — whether doses line up with hot days, stomach trouble, or skin flares • Share the insights on their own, or include them in your Vet Report DAILY COURSES • Put a daily med on a short course with an end date — its reminders stop on their own when the course is done EMBER SCORE • As-needed meds no longer affect the score — only scheduled meds count, so a day you don't need a symptom med won't ding it • Rebalanced what the score weighs: more on feeding and walks ALSO • Fixed the hot-weather walk advisory so the heat banner reliably appears on warm days Thanks for being part of the founding pack.

Three big additions for the people — and the dog — who do the walking. GPS WALK TRACKING • Track a walk with GPS: live route, distance, and time • Keeps recording with your phone locked and in your pocket • A lock-screen Live Activity shows the walk in progress — with an End button right there, so you never forget you're recording FAMILY SHARING • Manage who each dog is shared with, right inside the app — switch a family member between view-only and can-edit, remove someone, or stop sharing • See at a glance how many people a dog is shared with • Entries show who updated them last, so co-parents always know who did what SITTER MODE • Extend an active sit without sending a new invite (+1 day, +3, +1 week, or any date) • Clearer when a sit has wrapped; works offline and syncs when you're back STABILITY • Fixed crashes when removing a sit or deleting a walk • Fixed a freeze when opening your full walk history • A major sharing reliability pass so shared dogs land cleanly and stay put — the whole care team sees the same thing Thanks for being part of the founding pack.

Sitter Mode is here. Going away for the weekend? Schedule a sit, send a tappable iMessage invite. Your sitter taps it on their iPhone — and they get a focused dashboard with your dog's feeding times, walk plan, and (only if you opt in) medication schedule. Every meal, walk, and dose they log flows back to your dashboard in real time. When the sit ends, their access ends — automatically, no cleanup on your end. Also new: clearer sitter-mode discoverability from the main dashboard, owner-mode view of the sitter's notes, plus the usual round of polish and bug fixes. Built with private CloudKit. No subscriptions. No accounts. No tracking.

Stool Tracker just got smarter the new Insights view surfaces trends, frequency patterns, colour flags, and food correlations so you can spot issues before they need a vet visit, plus a full History view to scroll back through every entry. Family Sharing is also tighter: when a household member logs a meal, walk, or medication, it appears on your device instantly.

The biggest EmberPaws update yet — built around the people in your day. Walking Club Invites, Family Sharing, Daily Routine, Walk Tracker. Walking Club Invites — share a tappable link to a walk. Friends tap it on iMessage and the app opens straight to the walk, ready to RSVP. No code-typing, no Safari detour. Family Sharing — bring the household in. Vet appointments, walks, feedings, and weights sync across every iPhone via private CloudKit. Never our servers. Daily Routine — a morning and evening checklist of every walk, meal, and medication your dog needs today. Tick them off; the dashboard tracks how today is going. Walk Tracker — tap Start when you leave, tap Stop when you're home. Distance and duration log themselves. Battery-conscious — uses iOS visit tracking, not raw GPS. Plus: smoother RSVP refresh, heat warnings, eye health tracking, vaccine auto-schedule, sitter info sheets, grooming reminders, and dozens of small touches. Free. No subscription. No account. No tracking. The way it's always been.

New in EmberPaws 1.1 Eye Health tracker. Score your dog's eye condition on a 1–10 scale and log specific symptoms redness, discharge, cloudiness, squinting, and more. Recent scores flow into the Vet Report. Calendar deletion watcher. Opt in to be alerted when a synced vet or grooming appointment has been deleted from your iPhone Calendar, so your records stay accurate. Milestone photos sync across your devices. Photos you save on one iPhone now appear on all your devices automatically. Plus polish, bug fixes, and the Apple Weather attribution required by App Review.
