Current state
PawRelay is not publicly launched. It is in a Google Play closed test. The simple number is this: 6 testers are registered, and at least 6 more are needed.
That number matters less as a milestone and more as a checkpoint. Building the screens with AI was the fast part. The harder part is finding out whether another person can install the app, reach the first useful screen, and tell me where it feels confusing.
The problem PawRelay is trying to record
The app is built around a small household problem:
"Did someone feed the dog?"
"Was there a walk?"
"Who gave the medicine?"
"What time did that symptom happen yesterday?"
When more than one person cares for a dog or cat, these questions repeat. Chat messages disappear into the scroll. A private note is not shared. PawRelay keeps daily pet-care tasks and completed logs in one place.
It is not a diagnostic or treatment product, and it does not replace a veterinarian. It is a care-recording app for households that need less confusion around feeding, walks, medication logs, and condition notes.
What I want the next testers to check
This round is not about a long feature review. I want four practical checks.
- Does the app install on a real Android device?
- Does first-time setup feel clear enough?
- Is the Today screen simple enough to open every day?
- Does shared use feel better than a solo note app?
The third and fourth checks matter most. People do not keep using an app because it has many features. They keep using it when the screen they open every day removes a small annoyance.
What I am not overpromising
Family Sync is intentionally described carefully. Changes are checked automatically, and manual refresh is available when needed. I am not calling it instant realtime sync. Network state, locked devices, and delayed refreshes are part of real use. If I overpromise here, a small delay will feel like a broken product.
Google Drive backup is also separate. It is optional manual backup/import for one user. It is not the family-sharing system. Keeping that boundary clear matters more than making the feature sound bigger.
What decides the next build
The next build priority depends on where testers get stuck: install, first setup, the Today screen, or shared use. I am not trying to add more features yet. I am trying to make sure the first day does not break.
That is the point of this note: keep the build honest while PawRelay moves from an AI-built app into something real people can test.
