What's new: old app vs. new app
A quick side-by-side for customers moving from the old OcuTrap app to the new one. It covers the same features, with a few renamed screens and controls.
On this page
You can still do everything from the old app in the new one. A few things have clearer names or live on a different screen. Use this page as a quick translation guide.

Arming your trap
Arming moved into a single dropdown at the top of the Controls card. It has three modes:
- Unarmed: the trap stands down. No catching or alerts.
- Scouting: the trap watches and sends photos, but never closes the door. Scouting events are recorded in the trap's Activity only. They do not send push or email notifications.
- Armed: the trap catches and holds an animal, then alerts you.
Pick a mode and the trap updates over cellular. The dropdown shows the current mode at a glance.
Scouting is the same feature as Scouting Mode in the old app. See Scouting mode for how it works.
New in the new app
A few things the old app didn't have:
- Map: see all your traps on a map with their live location.
- Organizations: share a fleet with a team and bill it together (useful for programs and multi-user operations). See Sharing Traps.
- Command menu: press Cmd/Ctrl + K on the web app to jump to any trap or screen.
What didn't change
- Each trap still has its own subscription, and cellular data is still included.
- Notifications still come from your trap's own firmware. The app delivers and labels them.
- Your capture history and images all came across with you.
