About this app

Connect to the hunt with the Alpha® LTE dog tracker, using cellular technology (subscription required). Use your smartphone to track your dog’s movements with the Alpha® app. Connect your Alpha LTE tracking system to a compatible Garmin VHF dog tracking system (sold separately) to leverage either LTE or VHF tracking signals. Use the Alpha app to navigate and mark waypoints with integrated mapping.

Ratings and reviews

Good but could be better. Works as needed, no issues with maps. Tracking lines are to wide, need to be much thinner. The dog distances are shown in feet, should be shown in yards to be standard with the Alpha handhelds. At least an option to change to yards.

Satellite view maps only show black screen, even if downloaded. Pretty useless...

High gps data quality, but the app lacks the option to export the dog track, for example as gpx file. It would also be good if the track can be segmented for each trip or day.
