Tap any tab below to learn more about what it does.
Signs
Your complete library of AKC Rally signs. Browse every sign, search by name or number, and pull up the details for any class.
Lists
Where you create, add to, and organize your own groups of signs. Pull together the ones for an upcoming trial, something you’re practicing, or one for each of your dogs!
Practice
Where you rehearse. Run through a group of signs you’ve chosen, or shuffle them at random, with each name called out loud and the timing kept for you.
Guide
Your quick-reference handbook of AKC Rally rules and terminology. Worth opening before any trial.
Free vs. Pro
The free version is a complete, useful app on its own. If you used the old K9Rally app, everything you had there is still here, for free. Pro is the new stuff built on top.
Free What you get
- The complete sign library. Every sign, every level, with pictures, descriptions, and hints.
- A starter field guide, covering the handful of topics handlers reach for most.
- A Favorites list, where you can bookmark up to 8 signs you want to keep close.
- A taste of Practice. A short timed run so you can feel how it works.
Pro What it adds
- Your own lists. Up to 25 of them, 40 signs each, which is far more than any course needs. Keep one list per course or trial, or per skill you want to work on, or maybe one per dog!
- Practice, your way. Set the pace, decide how long a session runs, shuffle the order, and practice individual signs with more or less time.
- A more detailed field guide, with a reference to the corresponding section in the handbook.
- Pick up where you left off. Stop a session whenever you want and come back to it later. Your place is saved, so a phone call, a bathroom break, or just calling it a night for now won’t cost you any progress.
Pro is $1.99 a month or $16.99 a year. A few more exciting features are in development that will be included with Pro as they’re released.
If you’re undecided, the free version is a sensible place to start. Spend a couple of weeks with it, and see if you actually run into the limits.
The app stays 100% Ad-Free for both Free & Pro users
