Release Notes

Everything that's changed, newest first.

Version 1.6

Latest September 2026

Pawprints 1.6 lets you share a memory the way it deserves to be shared.

  • Share any photo or milestone as an instant-film print — the photo, the title, your dog's age and the date, all in the picture
  • Sized for a Story, a Post or a Square, with caption, age, place, the date stamp and the small Pawprints mark each a switch. Location is never included
  • Two or three photos become a collage, sixteen ways to cut them, and you can zoom, turn and move each photo inside its frame
  • Make it yours with text, emoji and stickers, and change the paper's colour or pattern
  • Your print, your way — a thicker or thinner white frame, or none; let the frame or the photo fill the whole card; tilt the print
  • Then & Now — share a memory from On this day beside a recent photo
  • A whole month or year as pages of prints, as images or one PDF
  • Save it, then share it — the card stays as you arranged it. Save to Photos asks only to add, never to read your library
  • Add past day now uses the values you've set for your Today tiles, and tiles respond when you press them
  • Fixed: opening a month or a year in the Journal now shows that month or year

Version 1.5

August 2026

Pawprints 1.5 is the biggest update yet, with a richer journal and a much faster daily log.

  • Search your whole journal by caption, note, milestone, or place, and revisit memories with On this day
  • Roomier journal entries with up to three photos, longer notes, locations, and formatting that follows your selection
  • Log care in one tap with your usual amounts, last-used times, and Undo right on the confirmation
  • Choose and customise four daily care tiles for each dog
  • Correct the time as you log, repeat a routine by swiping a past entry, or add missed tallies with confirmation before saving
  • More precise care records for meals and treats, flea and worming due dates, and grooming types
  • Log with Siri — walks, food, water, toilet breaks, training, grooming, and medicine. Siri uses your usual amounts and asks which one when you have two dogs; the same actions work in Shortcuts and on your Home or Lock Screen
  • Smoother browsing and small fixes, with clearer places and better photo framing

Version 1.4

This update gives you more control over your iCloud backup and makes care reports more accurate.

  • Create a fresh backup anytime after removing the old one
  • Clearer, more accurate Food and Water totals in exported care reports
  • PDF summaries now match your filters, so what you export is what you selected
  • Quicker, more reliable automatic update checks

Pawprints 1.1 polishes the moments you revisit every day.
