1

Open the app

Point your phone camera at the QR code above and tap the link that pops up. No app store needed.
2

Add it to your home screen

iPhone: tap the Share button (square with an arrow) at the bottom, scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.

Android: tap the three dots at the top right and choose Add to Home screen / Install app.

Wildtrackapp is a web app that also works on desktop. Adding it gives you an icon on your phone like your other apps; live maps still need internet access.

Log in once

Use the email and password you were given. You stay logged in — you won't have to sign in again every time. You can change your password any time under Profile → Change password.
4

Switch your tag on

On: press the button once — the green light starts flashing.

Off: press and hold the button for 10 seconds until the light goes out.

Fit the tag on the animal outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The first position can take a few minutes.

5

Watch your animals

Home — quick summary of your herd.

Map — live positions; tap an animal for a Navigate button that opens Google Maps.

Animals — every animal, its tag, battery and last ping.

Alerts — warnings when an animal leaves its camp or stops moving.

6

Turn on notifications

Open Alerts and tap Turn on notifications, then Allow. Your phone will buzz when an animal leaves a camp. (On iPhone this only works once the app is on your home screen — step 2.)

Moving an animal to another camp

Open Animals, tap the animal, then the Camp Movement tab. Choose the new camp, pick a reason for the move (grazing, treatment, sale, etc.) and add a note if you like. Every move is saved with the date, so you always have a history of where that animal has been.

Good to know

  • Tags need cellphone signal to report — no signal, no ping until they're back in coverage.
  • Battery percentage shows next to each tag; charge below 20%.
  • Draw your camp boundaries under Camps so alerts know where the fence is.
  • "Awaiting first ping" simply means the tag hasn't found the satellites yet.
