Frequently Asked Questions
Can I brand the Scout for Dog Walkers app as well?
Not at this time. However, the next generation of our Scout app will combine the staff and customer apps into a single app. This means you’ll get a branded experience for both your customers and staff.
Can I make changes after the app has been published?
Yes, but there is a change fee of $75 per instance. Changes include design-related changes and app store updates.
Is there a cancellation fee?
There is no cancellation fee. However, if you decide you’d like to re-activate your app after it’s been pulled from the app stores, there will be a $99 reactivation fee.
Why is there a fee when I want to change something about my app?
Each time a change needs to be made to your app, it requires us to go through the entire customization and deployment process again. This includes making the changes to the app, rebuilding it, testing and then finally re-deploying it to each app store. This isn’t automatic and takes a significant amount of manual effort.
Why do you require a non-refundable deposit when paying monthly?
There’s a lot of upfront work that goes into customizing your app, preparing app store assets, testing it, and finally deploying it to the app stores. Because you aren’t billed until the app goes live, we need to ensure that if you were to cancel after the work was completed, we’d be fairly compensated for our efforts.
Will the existing Scout for Pet Parents app still work for my clients?
Yes! Clients that have the Scout app already downloaded will be able to continue to use it.
Will my clients need to download the fully-branded app from the app store?
Yes. Your fully-branded app is a separate app from the Scout for Pet Parents app and has its own listing in the app store.
Will my clients need to create a new account to use the fully-branded app?
Nope! They can continue to use their existing login credentials.
Can I see an example?
Yes. Here’s a video demo of a branded app in action.
Here’s an example of app store listings:
What's included in the price?
Scout will provide the following deliverables:
- A splash screen with your logo and solid color background. (A splash screen is what your customer sees when the app is first opened.)
- Mockups with your colors and logo showing you exactly what your app will look like.
- Screenshots to be used in the app stores.
- A template for your app store description.
- Publishing to the app store.
- All updates to the Scout for Pet Parents app will also be applied to your fully-branded app.
Do I have to be a Scout customer to get my own fully-branded pet parent app?
Yes. The app will only work with the Scout platform so you must be a customer. If you aren’t a Scout customer yet, Signup for Scout and start your free trial.
How do I sign up?
Yes, While we do offer great deals for customers who purchase both Scout and a Sites package, website design is available to all dog walkers and pet sitters.
