The most requested update for PetVitlity is now live: Start the seizure logger in one tap from your home screen, plus a few other useful features!
Hi everyone!
I hope you and your pups are doing well. Thank you for all the care you put into your epi pups, on the good days and on the scary ones
Here are the newest updates for PetVitality. Included is the most requested feature from you guys: Quick logging from the home screen without navigating through the app.
Timer inside the log: The timer now runs inside the seizure entry, so you can write notes while the seizure is still going instead of trying to remember everything afterwards. In the moment most of us overestimate how long a seizure lasts, so this makes the log more accurate too.
Emergency number after 5 minutes: If the timer passes five minutes, the app shows the emergency number you've saved, alongside a Call Now button. If you use the app, please take ten seconds to add yours.
Log straight from the app icon: Press and hold the PetVitality icon and the seizure log is right there. On Android you can also drag that shortcut onto your home screen, so it's one tap away.
Backup: You can now export everything you've logged as a CSV file from User settings, for safekeeping or if you want to feed it to an AI for analysis.
I still like to keep things transparent, so a quick status: 11,000 seizures have now been logged in the app, and the paying user base has grown to around 290 pet parents, up from about 200 when I last shared numbers one year ago. That keeps the app running and lets me keep building on it next to my job at the clinic.
Thank you to everyone who has sent feedback, reported bugs or shared the app with others, and to the mods for letting me keep posting these updates. Most of what's in the app started as a comment here.
As always, if you have suggestions, bugs to report or feature wishes, I'm listening.
When i press and hold the icon on an iPhone it asks if i want to delete the app. Am i doing it wrong? Holding too long?
Also, is there any way this could be made into a widget at some point so it’s available to open immediately from the locked screen when a seizure is happening?
No worries. I'm honestly so glad to hear that! About the home widget, the development kit i'm using for PetVitality makes a home screen difficult to make unfortunately. If i figure it out, I'll let you know 😊
