What’s New Version 1.2.3
An update that gives you a better overview of your tracks.
• Active and Archived – your track list is now split into two tabs so active tracks aren't mixed with older ones.
• Detailed view – show a map image of each track (map or satellite) right in the list.
• Articles on the map – mark found articles by tapping directly on the map in the results view.
• Minor improvements and stability fixes.
Description
Spårhunden — the smart scent tracking app for you and your dog.
Lay tracks, time the aging, follow with GPS and keep all your tracking training in one place. Built for dog handlers — from beginners to competitive trial dogs.
HOW IT WORKS
Lay the track — start GPS recording, walk the track and drop articles with a single tap. Choose the material for each article and mark the end stick.
Wait out the aging — the app tracks it in the background with a Live Activity on your lock screen.
Follow the track — articles are detected automatically when the dog stops at them.
Evaluate — see the full track, statistics, weather, training tags and an AI-generated training summary.
DISCIPLINES
• Tracking (Bruksspår) — lay and follow according to SBK rules, with end stick and class selection
• IGP — full support for IGP 1–3 and IFH-1–3: article materials, stride calibration and step count

• Decoy Tracks (Pro) — lay a crossing distraction track and train your dog's ability to hold the line
FEATURES

Build 886850463v1.1.102026-06-12 07:04:53
Spårhunden 1.1.10 — photos on your tracks, a custom track-line color, and full Norwegian support.
NEW
• Track photos — add photos straight from your library or camera. Shown as a thumbnail in the track list and full-screen with zoom.
• Custom track-line color — pick from seven colors tuned for contrast against satellite maps.
• Norwegian — the app is now fully localized in Norwegian (Bokmål).
IMPROVED
• The map remembers your satellite/standard choice automatically.
• Units (km/mi) now follow your device's region setting.
• Tidier subscription card and various small fixes.
Build 886414398v1.1.92026-06-02 18:36:42
This update is all about tracking precision, smoother training with templates, and a cleaner result view.
• More accurate tracks in the forest – we've improved how the app records your path under dense tree cover, so the map better reflects what your dog actually did. Fewer gaps and fewer shortcuts in the track line.
• Place articles freely from templates – when laying a track from a saved template, you can now drop articles wherever you like, to vary the layout from session to session.
• Tighter map view at track start – see your immediate surroundings more clearly before you set off.
• Nicer sharing – when viewing a track in full screen, a discreet Spårhunden logo now appears on the map, perfect for screenshots you share with others.
• Cleaner result view – times are shown without seconds and we've removed rarely used fields.
Build 886394053v1.1.82026-06-01 23:34:18
• Easier to get started – new users are now guided straight to adding their first dog
• Hall of Memory – view and open all past tracks for your honored dogs
• Minor cleanup and under-the-hood improvements
Build 886322035v1.1.72026-05-30 20:54:47
This update makes tracking calmer and more reliable.
• Cleaner tracking view – time is shown without seconds and the aging timer is hidden while you track, so you can focus on what matters
• "Add note" – mark a spot along the track with a discreet note. The button has a new, friendlier look
• New IGP setting – show detailed articles for training tracks too
• Improved GPS – tracks now start from a more reliable position, with special tuning for IGP on open fields
• Fixed a crash that could occur when sharing a track
Build 886208717v1.1.62026-05-27 20:32:51
GPS and forest tracking improvements
• GPS calibration now works correctly when standing still — the app receives all signals until accuracy converges, instead of getting stuck on "Searching for signal"
• Improved GPS accuracy in dense forest — the threshold is now tuned for Swedish conditions under tree canopy
• "Ghost tracks" is now called "Area tracks" — a clearer name for the feature that shows nearby tracks from your area
Build 886079276v1.1.52026-05-25 00:06:42
Article auto-detection — now actually working.
We found and fixed three issues that combined to make automatic article marking unreliable, especially in woodland terrain or when the handler stopped near an article.
It should now work as intended: pause near an article for a moment, and the app will detect it.
If you've experienced problems, we recommend resetting to defaults under Settings → Track Following.
Build 885960195v1.1.42026-05-21 22:33:23
Minneshallen - a place of honour for former tracking partners
No one should have to delete a friend.
This update introduces Minneshallen (Hall of Memory), a permanent resting place in the app for dogs that are no longer active, whether retired or passed away.
Move a dog to Minneshallen from the menu on their profile page. All tracks and statistics are preserved exactly as they are. Their career is summarised: number of tracks, total distance, articles found, and years active. You can write a personal tribute and update it whenever you like.
Dogs in Minneshallen do not count toward your dog limit.
Fix: "Read more about decoy tracks" link
Tapping "Read more about decoy tracks" in the new track flow opened a sheet that closed immediately. This now works as expected.
Build 885880052v1.1.32026-05-19 22:25:00
Smoother GPS track line
The track line on the map is now noticeably smoother. The app filters out temporary GPS jumps caused by brief signal loss – no more erratic spikes in curves or straight sections.
More "How it works" guides
A new guide explains how to share a track with another handler. Another guide covers how decoy tracks work – accessible via "Read more" directly in the track form.
Training tags for Bruksspår and IGP
Training tags (e.g. "Wind influence", "Water crossing") now appear correctly in the result view for all disciplines, not just Training.
Article count during track following
The number of articles on the track is now shown as a stat alongside aging time and distance during active track following.
Version number in Settings
The app now shows the version number at the bottom of Settings. Tap it to copy build info to the clipboard – handy for support requests.
Bug fixes and improvements
• Back button in the track following view no longer overlaps the stat card
• Sharing tracks via Messenger and WhatsApp now works correctly with a new landing page
• Improved compatibility with other plattforms when sharing tracks
Build 885746380v1.1.22026-05-17 17:54:23
What's New in Version 1.1.2
New track type: Training
Training is now the default when creating a new track — no class required. Choose Bruksspår or IGP when working toward a trial. Both can be freely enabled or disabled in Settings.
Action Button & Siri Shortcuts
Spårhunden now supports Apple's Action Button. Place articles and mark finds without even opening the app. Also available in Shortcuts and Siri.
Promo Codes
Redeem promo codes directly in the app under Settings → Pro.
Improvements
Delete confirmation now appears as a centered dialog
Deleting tracks with many GPS points no longer freezes the interface
Build 885627316v1.1.12026-05-14 00:19:25
Fixed a bug where blind tracks did not show the comparison view after completion. Coordinates are now stored correctly — you can see the laid track against the followed track, just like with an open track.
Build 885497594v1.12026-05-12 14:22:04
**IGP **
Version 1.1 är ett stort steg för IGP-tränare. Välj klass (IGP 1–3, IFH-1–3) när du skapar ett spår. Under spårläggning markerar appen startskylten på kartan och du väljer material på varje apport (läder, tyg, trä, filt, plast, metall, gummi). Kalibrera din steglängd i inställningarna – appen räknar sedan om distansen till steg och visar stegantalet i resultatvyn så att du enkelt kan stämma av mot klassens krav.
**Nytt spår – tydligare knapp**
Den viktigaste knappen i appen är nu omöjlig att missa. "Nytt spår" har flyttats från det lilla plusset i övre hörnet till en tydlig knapp i skärmens nederkant – alltid synlig oavsett hur lång spårlistan är.
**Förledningsspår (Pro)**
Lägg ett distraktionsspår som korsar andra spår och träna hundens förmåga att hålla sin linje. Förledningsspår syns som svaga spökspår på kartan, räknas inte i statistik eller mål och arkiveras automatiskt efter 48 timmar.
**Siri, Spotlight och Genvägar**
Starta ett nytt spår eller öppna en hunds profil direkt med rösten. "Starta nytt spår med Bella" fungerar nu via Siri.
**Apple Hälsa**
Avslutade spår kan sparas automatiskt som promenader i Apple Hälsa, inklusive GPS-rutt, distans och tid. Aktiveras i inställningar.
**Fyra nya språk**
Appen finns nu på engelska, norska, danska och tyska.
**Hundförarens position på kartan**
I resultatvyn visas din position på kartan i upp till 12 timmar efter spåret, så du enkelt kan jämföra var du gick mot var hunden gick.
**Nya IGP-badges och utmaningar**
Fem nya märken för IGP-tränare. Lås upp dem steg för steg allteftersom du tränar.
**Förbättrad liggtid**
Liggtiden räknas nu korrekt från det ögonblick spårläggningen startas – inte från att du tryckt "Klar".
**Buggar och förbättringar**
Kartan zoomar in ytterligare för bättre precision under spårläggning och -följning. Live Activity startar inte längre för spår äldre än 24 timmar. Spårlistan bekräftar nu alltid innan radering.

Build 885327113v1.0.32026-05-06 18:53:51
Betalväggen visar nu provtiden direkt — du ser "30 dagar gratis" eller "7 dagar gratis" redan i planväljaren, innan du bekräftar köpet.
