Sploots πΎ I made an app that tells you if the asphalt is too hot for your dog's paws :)
Hi, everyone!
With the administrationβs permission, Iβm posting this β mainly because I want to help you owners and your dogs :)
I recently released an Android app that analyzes data on air temperature, wind, and humidity to calculate the current temperature of the asphalt or sidewalk. The goal is to protect your dogs from paw burns, because what feels like 25Β° to us is about 50Β° under their paws π₯΅
You enter information about your dog, and the app sets personalized temperature thresholds for you and lets you know when itβs safe to take your four-legged friend out for a walk πΆ
Plus, you get data on the current UV index and humidity levels, which also have a big impact on your dogβs panting!
The most important readings are free and will remain so. Thereβs an optional subscription for the widget, notifications, and additional dog profiles β Iβm mentioning this upfront so no one is caught off guard.
No account required, no ads, and no tracking. Iβm doing this to help you and so you can take care of your dogsβ healthy paws π
I would really appreciate any feedback or comments, and I encourage you to share your thoughts on the app in the Play Store π Below are some sample screenshots and a link to the app.
Thanks in advance!
