A short guide to PodoCard: how to add a client, record a visit, sign a consent and pay for the subscription. Working with clients is the same in the mobile app and in the web version, while the subscription is paid for in the web version only.
That is all it takes to add a client and start their history.
1
Install or open
The app for iPhone and Android — or the web version in a browser, with no install.
2
Sign up
First name, last name, e-mail and a password of at least 8 characters.
3
Confirm your e-mail
Enter the code from the letter — and 7 days of full access open up.
4
Add a client
Only the first and last name are required, the rest can wait.
5
Create a visit
Mark the feet and nails, add photos and a conclusion.
How to use PodoCard
The sections follow the order in which you usually work with a client. Each one starts with the common rules and then gives separate instructions for the web version and for the mobile app.
Section 01
Sign-up and login
One account for everything: wherever you sign up, it works both in the app and in the browser.
What sign-up needs. First name, last name, e-mail, a password of at least 8 characters and your agreement with the privacy policy and the terms of use. The rest of the form differs between the browser and the app — see below.
The code from the letter. A nine-digit code is sent to the address you entered. Enter it right away: the sign-up request is kept for 10 minutes, after that the code stops working — then simply sign up again and get a new one.
Trial period. Right after confirmation you get 7 days of full access; those who came through an educator's partner link get 30 days. The banner at the top shows how many days are left.
Forgotten password. On the login page click “Forgot password?”: a code is sent to your e-mail (the letter can be resent), and then you set a new password.
Language of e-mails. Letters arrive in the language selected in your account.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
Where to open it. The web version runs in a browser at web.podocard.com, nothing has to be installed: on the login screen click “Sign Up”.
Form fields. First name, last name, e-mail, password and its repeat are required. The phone number is optional in the browser, and the account language is picked right there — letters and documents arrive in it.
What comes next. After the code from the letter the “Dashboard” opens; the phone number and the position can be filled in later in the “Profile” section.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
Where to open it. The PodoCard app for iPhone and Android is installed from the App Store or Google Play; on the login screen there is the “Create account” button.
Form fields. Besides the name, e-mail and the password with its repeat, the app asks for a phone number — this field is required and the number is validated. The account language is picked to the left of the phone field, and below the form there is a checkbox for the privacy policy and the terms of use.
What comes next. The code is entered on the “Confirm email” screen, after which the app opens the “Profile” right away — there you add the company name, country, city and clinic address.
Section 02
Dashboard and search
After you log in, the browser and the app open different screens — a summary of your practice and the client list respectively.
What is the same. Client search starts from two characters and looks through names, phone numbers and e-mails, and the total number of company clients is shown right on the start screen.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
Dashboard. Logging in opens a summary: counters of clients, staff members and visits for this and last week.
Search. The “Find a client: name, phone, email…” box shows the matches as a list and opens the card in one click.
Reminders. Separate cards: clients without signed consents, birthdays this week and those who have not visited for a while (30 days or more by default).
Trends. A chart of visits for the last 12 weeks; the owner also sees visits broken down by staff member.
Statistics. The owner and the manager get the “Statistics” menu item: the client base by gender and age, plus analytics of what visits contain over a chosen period, filtered by specialist.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
The start screen is “Clients”. There is no separate dashboard in the app: logging in opens the client list with the search box and the “Total number of clients” line.
The “+” button. The round button in the bottom right corner opens the “Create client” form; while there are no clients yet, a hint next to it says “Create your first client card to get started!”.
Settings. The gear icon in the top right corner opens “Settings”: profile, language, staff, plans, support and the partner program.
What the app does not have. Counter tiles, reminders, the visits chart and the statistics section — for those open the web version.
Section 03
Clients and the client card
The client card replaces the paper one: contacts, visit history, photos, files and health details.
A new client. Only the first and last name are required. Then come the middle name, gender, date of birth and contacts: e-mail, phone, occupation, Telegram, Instagram.
Search. The list starts searching from two characters, so the beginning of a surname is enough.
What the card holds. Contacts, visits, gallery, files and health details — the same set everywhere, only arranged differently: compare the two blocks below.
Health details. 14 checkboxes: heart disease, blood clotting disorders, high and low blood pressure, varicose veins, infectious, viral and skin diseases, oncology, epilepsy, diabetes, overweight, HIV and hepatitis. Next to them — foot size and notes.
Files. A separate place for attachments outside visits — referrals, medical reports, scans: up to 50 files per client.
Client contacts. A specialist does not see them: they work with visits, while phone numbers and e-mails are visible to the owner, the manager and the administrator.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
Where the list is. The “Clients” item in the left menu, the “Add client” button on top, and the form opens as the “New client” window.
Four tabs. In the client card: “Visits”, “Gallery”, “Files” and “Details” — switched by the tabs at the top.
Uploading files. The “Files” tab accepts drag and drop: “Drag files here or click “Upload””.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
Where the list is. The client list is the start screen itself; a new client is created with the round “+” button → the “Create client” form.
How a client is arranged. Opening a client takes you to the list of visits. On top there is a bar with the name: tapping it opens the “Client Card”, and the two icons on the right open “Files” and the “Client Gallery”.
Client Card. It has two tabs: “Contacts” (with the “Edit” button and the consent blocks) and “Details” — the same health checkboxes.
Uploading files. On the “Files” screen the “Add file” button offers “Upload from files” or “Upload from gallery”.
Section 04
The visit: what gets recorded
A visit is the procedure card. The set of sections is the same in the app and in the web version; only the way you switch between them and save differs.
Six sections. Feet, toes, fingers, correction systems, photos and conclusion — the very same ones in both versions.
Feet. On the scheme you mark corns, cracks, warts, keratosis and calluses, and next to it the condition: pedicure, coating, dry skin, hyperhidrosis, longitudinal and transverse flat foot, hollow foot, valgus deformity, keratosis, mycosis and more.
Toes and fingers. For every digit you mark onycholysis, onychocryptosis, onychomycosis, onychodystrophy, deformation, hematoma or a corn and add a short note.
Correction systems. Ten systems to choose from: UniBrace, titanium wire (Nitinol), 3TO, Fraser, ORA, Snake, nail prosthetics, COMBIped, Podofix and B/S. Every installation has its digit, its state and a note — the diameter, for example.
Photos and conclusion. Photos are attached to the visit and saved as soon as they are uploaded, and the conclusion holds up to 10,000 characters.
Who can edit. Only the specialist who created the visit can change it; for the rest of the team it opens in view mode.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
How to create one. Client card → the “Visits” tab → the “New visit” button.
Table of contents on the left. Next to every section it shows its status: filled in or “Not saved”.
Saving. Every section has its own “Save” button: it appears when there are changes, and PodoCard warns you if you leave the page without saving them.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
How to create one. The client screen → the round “+” button in the bottom right corner (on an empty list the “Create new visit” hint sits next to it); the date of the visit is picked in the screen header.
Six icons instead of a table of contents. Sections are switched by the row of icons under the client's name: foot, toes, hands, correction systems, camera and conclusion.
A single “Save” button. It appears at the bottom as soon as at least one section has changes, and it saves every unsaved section at once.
Data from the previous visit. When a new visit is created, the app pre-fills it from the previous one and says so: “Data from the previous visit has been automaticaly copied for easier completion”.
Section 05
Photos, gallery and progress
Photos live in the client card, not in your phone gallery.
One feed. Photos from all visits of a client are gathered into a single gallery sorted by date.
Comparison. From two to four photos go into a comparison — they are combined into a before-and-after collage.
Collage. Every frame can be zoomed and moved, the date of the shot is printed under it, and a separate switch turns the grid on. The finished collage is saved as a JPG — handy to show the client or to post on social media.
Deleting. In the same selection mode the photos you do not need are removed in one go.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
Where to open it. Client card → the “Gallery” tab.
Selection mode. The “Select photos” button, then “Compare” or “Delete”; the hint reminds you: “Select 2 to 4 photos to compare”.
Collage with a mouse. A frame is moved by dragging, the zoom is changed with the mouse wheel, the “Grid” switch turns the lines on, and the “Save as JPG” button downloads the result.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
Where to open it. The client screen → the picture icon in the name bar (“Client Gallery”).
Selection mode. Press and hold a photo — the “Selected: N” counter with the “(no more than 4)” note appears on top, together with a row of buttons: collage, download and delete. The on-screen hint says the same: “Press and hold the photo to access selection and comparison features”.
Collage with your fingers. A frame is moved and zoomed with gestures, the “Grid” checkbox turns the lines on, and the arrow button saves the JPG to the phone gallery — the app replies “Saved to gallery”.
Section 06
Consents and documents
No paper forms needed: the client signs on the screen and the PDF stays in their card.
Two standard forms. Consent to services and consent to photo documentation — both are filled in with the client's data automatically.
Form language. It is set separately from the interface language; eight are available: Ukrainian, English, Russian, Polish, German, Georgian, Kazakh and Spanish.
Signature. The client signs right on the screen, the signature is embedded into the PDF, and the document is stored in the card with the signing date. If the client has an e-mail, a copy is sent to them automatically.
Who can download. The signed document is available to the owner and the administrator; a blank form can be opened by any staff member — so there is something to show the client before signing.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
Where to sign. In the client card, in the consents block: an unsigned document has the “Sign” button — the “Signing the document” window opens.
The signature. The client signs with a mouse or a finger in the “Client signature” field; a bad stroke is removed with the “Clear” button.
Document settings. The “Documents” item in the left menu (for the owner and the manager): “Document language”, the switches of the two forms and “Custom consents” — your texts go into the PDF instead of the standard ones.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
Where to sign. “Client Card” → the “Services Consent.pdf” and “Photo Consent.pdf” blocks; an unsigned one is marked “Agreement not signed”. Tap the block — the document itself opens with the “Sign” button, and a signed one opens with “Download”.
The signature. The client signs with a finger right on the screen; the signature field carries the “ROTATE THE SCREEN” hint — it is easier to sign with the phone held horizontally.
Document settings. “Settings” → “Change Language”: below the app language the company owner gets “Documents language” and the “Consent to the provision of services” and “Photo Consent” switches. Custom consent texts are turned on only in the web version.
Staff members share the same client base, and the role defines what each of them can do.
When it is available. Staff members come with the Team plan and during the trial period; on Pro only the owner works in the account. Staff are added by the owner, and a manager adds administrators and specialists.
Owner. Full access: plan and payments, clinic details, all staff and clients.
Manager. Runs the branch: adds and edits administrators and specialists, works with clients.
Administrator. Responsible for appointments: keeps client cards, visits, photos and consents.
Specialist. Provides services: works with visits and fills in the procedure card. Client contacts are hidden.
What the staff form asks for. First and last name, e-mail, phone, position and role — the password is generated by the system. A manager cannot assign the manager role.
What arrives by e-mail. The staff member immediately gets the letter “You have been invited to join a team in the PodoCard app”: who invited them, with which role and a nine-digit password to sign in. The letter comes in the language of the person who added them; if it is missing — ask them to check the “Spam” folder.
How the staff member signs in. No separate registration or e-mail confirmation is needed: they install the app or open the web version and sign in with their e-mail and the password from the letter. The password from the letter is changed on the login page via “Forgot password?”. When the staff member signs in for the first time, the owner gets a letter about it.
Switching a staff member off. The toggle in the list closes their access while their records stay with the company; they can be switched back on with the Team plan.
Moving to Pro. When Pro is activated, everyone in the company except the owner is switched off — after returning to Team they can be switched on again.
Colleagues' visits. Records are visible to the whole team, but a visit is edited only by its author — so the history is not rewritten after the fact.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
How to add. The “Employees” item in the left menu — in the browser it is open to the owner only — and the “Add employee” button.
Resending the letter. While the staff member has never signed in, there is a “Resend the password email” button next to them: a new password is issued then and the previous one stops working.
What else is in the list. The “Employee clients” button shows their client base, the pencil button opens editing, and the toggle switches their access on and off.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
How to add. “Settings” → “Staff” → the round “+” button in the bottom right corner. On a plan without staff the app replies that the section is available on the Team plan.
Who sees the section. In the app “Staff” is open to administrators and above, but only the owner and the manager can add staff members.
Editing or switching off. Tapping a staff member opens the “Select action” menu with “Edit” and “Delete”, and the toggle in the row switches their access on and off. Without the internet the form warns: “Changes will sync when online”.
Section 08
Plan, payment and renewal
One subscription for the app and the web version, paid for in the web version only: pay in the browser and the access works on the phone as well.
Who pays. The plan is chosen and renewed by the company owner — the other roles have no payment section at all.
Period. Payment for 1 or 12 months; a year costs less — a 30% discount.
Where to pay. Payment is available in the web version in a browser only — by bank card via WayForPay. There is no payment in the mobile app, but a paid subscription works there right away.
Auto-renewal. The subscription renews automatically, but it can be cancelled at any time: the charges stop and access remains until the end of the paid period.
When the period is over. Work is blocked until payment, but the data stays in place — after renewal you continue right where you left off.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
How to pay. The “Plans and payment” item in the left menu → the “1 month” / “12 months” switch → the “Pay” button (“Renew” on your current plan) on the PRO or TEAM card. Card payment via WayForPay opens next.
Cancelling auto-renewal. On the same page, in the subscription card — the “Cancel subscription” button.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
How to pay. There is no payment in the app: open the web version at podocard.com in a browser (a phone browser works too), log in with the same account and pay by card via WayForPay — the subscription starts working in the app right away.
There are no App Store or Google Play payments any more. We have moved to payment via WayForPay: automatic renewal of subscriptions purchased earlier in the App Store is discontinued, access under them remains until the end of the period already paid for, and after that the plan is purchased on the website.
Cancelling auto-renewal. Also in the web version: the “Plans and payment” section → the “Cancel subscription” button. The charges stop and access remains until the end of the paid period.
Prices and currency depend on your region — see the current amounts on the pricing page: Pricing
Section 09
Settings, language and sync
The profile and the language are set once and apply on every device.
The same data everywhere. The app and the web version share one database: a client added on the phone shows up in the browser right away — nothing has to be transferred.
Interface language. Five languages: Ukrainian, Russian, English, Polish and German. The choice is stored in the profile and applies on all devices.
Profile. First name, last name, phone, e-mail and photo; the owner also changes the company name, country, city and clinic address here. A new e-mail is confirmed with a code from a letter — until the code is entered the old address stays.
Deleting the account. For an owner the whole company is blocked immediately, and after 7 days the data is deleted permanently — if you change your mind, write to support within that time.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
Profile. The “Profile” item → “My profile” → the “Edit” button; the photo is replaced with “Change photo”. The position is edited only here.
Language. A separate “Change Language” item in the left menu.
Deleting. At the bottom of the profile there is the “Delete account” button (“Delete account and company” for an owner); the confirmation asks you to type the word “DELETE”.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
Profile. “Settings” → “Profile”, the “Edit” button in the screen header; the photo is changed there too.
Deleting. At the bottom of the profile there is the “Delete profile” button; the confirmation comes as the “Select action” menu with the red “Delete” item.
Section 10
If something goes wrong
Most questions are solved in a couple of minutes — here is where to look first.
Branch ID. The “Support” section shows the unique number of your company with a copy button — tell it to the support agent and your question is solved faster.
Where to write. Telegram, WhatsApp or support@podocard.com — the buttons are in the same section.
The letter does not arrive. Check the “Spam” folder and the address: the sign-up code lives for 10 minutes, and the password recovery code can be resent.
The visit was not saved. PodoCard stores visit sections only when you press “Save” — the button appears once there are changes. How it looks in each version is described below.
In the web versionbrowser, web.podocard.com
Where support is. The “Support” item in the left menu.
The visit was not saved. Every visit section has its own “Save” button, the “Not saved” mark lights up in the table of contents on the left, and PodoCard warns you when you leave a page with changes.
A section is missing. In the browser “Employees” and “Plans and payment” are visible to the owner only, “Statistics” and “Documents” — to the owner and the manager.
In the mobile appiPhone and Android
Where support is. “Settings” → “Support”.
The visit was not saved. The single “Save” button at the bottom appears only when there are changes and stores every visit section at once — until you press it, nothing goes to the server.
A section is missing. “Staff” is open to administrators and above, “Tariff plans” — to the owner only.
Top Questions
Do I have to install anything?
It depends on where you work. In a browser — nothing: open the web version and log in, it is the same program with the same data. For a phone you do need to install the app from the App Store or Google Play, that way it is more convenient.
Is the data in the app and in the browser different?
It is the same. The login is shared: everything added from the phone is immediately available in the browser, and the other way round.
Can I work together with an assistant?
Yes, on the Team plan: the owner adds staff members and assigns a role to each of them. A specialist does not see client contacts, and a visit can be edited only by its author.
Where are client photos stored?
In the client card, attached to the visit and its date — not in the phone gallery. Two to four photos can be turned into a before/after collage and saved as a JPG.
Is there customer support if I have questions?
Absolutely. Our support team is always available — you can access contact options directly from the app
What happens to my data if I don’t renew my subscription?
Your data is retained for two months after the trial period and for two years after you cancel your subscription, so you can restore access if you resume your subscription. You’ll also receive an advance email notification before deactivation
