Before you email: most issues fall into one of the categories below. The answer might be faster than a back-and-forth.

Restoring purchases

If you previously subscribed to Premium (or bought Lifetime) and don't see it on a new device or after reinstalling:

  1. Open MyPetLogger.
  2. Go to Settings → Premium, or open the Premium screen.
  3. Tap Restore Purchases.

Make sure you're signed in to the same Apple ID that made the original purchase. Family Sharing purchases are also restored this way if the original buyer shares them.

Walks aren't tracking in the background

Walk tracking uses GPS, so iOS needs permission to read your location even when the screen is off. If your walk stops recording when you lock the phone:

  1. Open iOS Settings → MyPetLogger → Location.
  2. Set access to Always.
  3. Turn on Precise Location.
  4. Check iOS Settings → General → Background App Refresh is enabled for MyPetLogger.

On the Apple Watch app, make sure the watch has a GPS signal (outdoors works best) and that the workout is actively running.

iCloud sync between devices

MyPetLogger can sync your pet data across your own iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. If devices aren't matching up:

Note: MyPetLogger syncs to your own private iCloud database. We don't see your data, and we can't recover it if you disable iCloud and then lose the device. Keep at least one device with the data until the new one has synced.

Apple Health / HealthKit

Walks can be written to Apple Health as workouts. If they aren't appearing in Health:

  1. Open iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → MyPetLogger.
  2. Enable Turn All Categories On (or at least Workouts, Active Energy, and Route).
  3. In the app, open Settings and make sure Sync Walks with Apple Health is enabled.

Cancelling a subscription

Subscriptions are billed and managed by Apple — we can't cancel them on our side.

  1. Open iOS Settings.
  2. Tap your name at the top of the list.
  3. Tap Subscriptions.
  4. Select MyPetLogger, then Cancel Subscription.

You'll keep Premium access until the end of the current billing period.

Refund requests

Refunds are also handled by Apple, not us. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the MyPetLogger purchase, and request a refund. Apple reviews these case-by-case.

Lost data

Because MyPetLogger stores your data on your device, if you delete the app without iCloud Sync on (or without an iOS/iTunes backup), the data is gone. A few things to check first:

If none of the above work, email us — we can't recover the data (we never had it), but we can walk you through any remaining options.

Feature requests
