Bear Repellent: Scare Bears

Heading into bear country? Bear Repellent plays loud, looping wolf and dog sounds — the kind of natural predator calls and warning barks that bears tend to avoid — with the aim of helping keep bears at a distance.

Just open the app and play. The sound loops continuously so you can clip your phone to a pack, set it down at camp, or carry it as you move. No setup, no account, no internet required.

• Loud, looping wolf howls and dog barks
• Plays even in silent mode — it follows your device volume, so check the volume beforehand
• Swipe to switch between wolf and dog — the sound changes instantly
• Works offline — no signal or data needed
• Simple one-tap operation
• One-time purchase — no subscriptions, no ads
• Can keep playing while you move or rest

Who it's for:
• Hikers, backpackers and trail runners
• Campers and overnight backcountry travelers
• Anglers fishing rivers, streams and lakes
• Foragers gathering mushrooms or wild plants
• Farmers and gardeners working near woods and fields
• Anyone living, working or traveling in areas where bears appear

How to use:
1. Open the app
2. Tap anywhere on the screen to stop, tap again to resume
3. Swipe left or right to switch between wolf and dog
4. Turn the volume up

What's new in this version:
• Step-by-step encounter guide — organized by situation (spotted at a distance / it noticed you / close encounter / before entering bear country)
• Guide read-aloud — tap any section to have it read aloud, so you can keep your eyes on the bear (available in languages your device supports)
• Pre-hike checklist — 6 items covering bear bell, spray, companions, sighting reports, food storage and volume, with saved progress

Important note: This app plays sounds intended to help keep bears away, but it does not guarantee any outcome. It is not a substitute for bear bells, bear spray, or other equipment recommended for your area. Always check local wildlife advisories before heading out, and follow guidance from local authorities. Use this app as one additional layer alongside those precautions, not in place of them.
