SocialDog is a handy app for dog owners, especially if you and your four-legged friend like to partake in visiting the dog park on a regular basis.
The app has you covered from start to finish—if you don't know where the nearest park is, the app will help you to locate one. Before you head off, you can check to see if any other dog owners have checked in with their pets, or have reported the conditions of the park. This could save you a trip, or help you determine that you should visit another park, especially if other users have reported that the grounds are muddy.
The SocialDog app also reports the number of dogs, size of dogs and the activity levels at the dog park, on a scale of calm to rowdy. The SocialDog app is free to download for iTunes and Android devices.
