To use the Doggo App, users simply create a profile of themselves and their pet and they can start exploring the various dog parks closeby. Once they enter the park, they are automatically "checked-in" for other users to see. This feature is optional and can be turned off if the user declines to share their geolocation. The Doggo App also lets you broadcast a request to other pet owners in the area that you're seeking a companion for both you and your dog. This app is perfect for [social dogs and pet owners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-care) looking to connect. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Dog Park Apps:** Opportunities for developing more customized, interactive and user-friendly pet apps - **Social Pet Apps:** Growing trend of pet owners using technology to interact and socialize with other pet owners - **Parks and Rec Apps:** Increasing use of mobile apps to find and promote parks and outdoor activities ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Care Industry:** New opportunities for pet care startups to develop mobile apps and provide smart devices for pets - **Mobile App Development Industry:** High demand for pet app developers to create unique and engaging apps for pet owners - **Tourism Industry:** Opportunities for tourism startups to partner with pet app companies to promote dog parks as tourist attractions ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expert-Led Dog Training Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expert-led-dog-training-app.md) - [Dog Matchmaker Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pegada.md) - [Parental Pet Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petters.md) - [Connective Pet Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petigo.md) - [All-In-One Pet Management Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-management.md) - [All-in-One Pet Care Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dotsy.md) - [Dog-Friendly Dating Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-friendly-dating.md) - [Pet Health Support Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddydoc-app.md) - [Nearby Playground Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-playground-app.md)
