Activity Tracking

With the Fi app, you can track your dog's activity and progress towards their daily step goals.

Note: Activity history is only available with an active subscription.

View Your Dog's Activity:

1. Open the Fi app
2. On the main screen, above the map you'll see:
   • Miles walked for the current day. Please note miles are only calculated on walks, not as a total of steps taken, in order for your dog to have any miles displayed, they need to have gone on a walk, away from the safe zone.
   • % to daily goal 
   • Today's step count, tap this to enter the Activity menu
     • In the Activity Menu, you'll see (from top to bottom):
       • X to exit the activity menu
       • Activity Summaries & Fi Rankings: Tap the small black trophy to see weekly, and monthly summaries. This will also unlock your pup's overall rank in the Fi community, and their breed rank. Within ranks, you can toggle by "top" and "my rank"
         • All rankings are based on the past 28 days of activity
       • Step count for the day, with a meter above, tracking % to goal for the day
       • Step goals in blue: you can tap into this to adjust the step goals for your pup. 
       • Steps walked this week
       • Toggle for steps walked by day, week, or month 
       • Within day, you may see how many steps were taken at any specific time, toggle between the bars and you'll see the icon change with step count for that time 
       • How many steps your pup has taken that day, on the center of the screen, if you tap into this, you'll enter the Activity menu

Activity Cards

Activity cards are located at the bottom of the Fi app, and detail your dog's different activities. The first card you'll see is where your dog is at the moment, "live."

You can swipe right to see previous activities, and within the activity card you'll see a few different icons: 

• Paw print: indicates a walk, this will include the name of the neighborhood or area, step count, length of time, and miles walked. You will see "you" or the name of any owner with whom the walk was taken with, and the collar connected to. 
  • On walk activities you'll see a paper plane button that will allow you to share your walks on Instagram, Facebook and with contacts on your phone. 
• Sitting dog: This indicates time your dog was within a safe zone, we'll note what safe zone, length of time spent, and steps taken. 
• Tennis ball: This indicates a play activity 

How are dog steps calculated?

Fi's activity tracking uses a unique algorithm to track your dog's steps. Every dog has a different walking pattern and depending on the ongoing activity each dog can account for different amount of "steps". 

How does my dog's Fi collar track walk routes?

The Fi collar relies on multiple signals to determine its location - knowing that your smartphone device is in proximity (as well as the location that your phone believes it is currently) is a great signal. If you don't take your smartphone device with you when you walk your dog, the Fi collar will power GPS, keep in mind, however, on its own, GPS is:

1. Fairly inaccurate - about 50-60 ft accuracy for each location report due to GPS technology (independent of Fi)
2. Battery intensive - if you take your smartphone with you on your dog's walks, the Fi collar will combine the signals coming from your phone to allow for improved location report accuracy and an increased frequency of location updates to determine the exact route walked. This also allows for battery conservation.
   • Note: Having wifi enabled on your device is also useful as the phone itself uses wifi in addition to its GPS to know where it is.

Note: For the most accurate route tracking, Fi recommends carrying your smartphone with you on yours and your dog's walks, with the Fi app open in the background of your device. If someone else is walking your dog, we recommend having them carry their smartphone, as well, and joining your account as an 'Owner.' (See Multiple Owners)
