Mobile App Problem Solving

The Time To Pet mobile app is designed to make it convenient for your staff to perform their tasks quickly and efficiently. As with any mobile app, there may be some troubleshooting that is required. This help doc will help you troubleshoot any issues that may come up along the way.

GPS Route Tracking

Sometimes, there are restrictions and limitations with GPS route tracking in general (like weather, tall building, GPS satellite issues, etc.). This can often cause discrepancies inherent in GPS geolocation data. There are a few things you can do to improve the performance of your device recording and tracking the route though:

• Make sure the "Use Low Accuracy GPS" is turned off in your Time To Pet Mobile App settings. 
• Make sure device location services are turned on ( iPhone // Android ).
• Close out any other applications running on the device, specifically those that may be using location services.

It's also important to note that cell phone reception is a key factor for GPS route tracking. If cell phone reception is poor and cuts in and out, this will most likely cause tracking issues in the client report.
