Top 3 Pet apps
The impact of pets on our lives should never be underestimated. Whether you own a mangy mutt, a 14-foot python or a memory-challenged goldfish, pets are like members of the family. To make sure we continue to treasure our furry/scaly/slimy/feathered friends, a National Pet Month has been organised to promote responsible ownership, raise public awareness of professional pet services and celebrate all things pet-related. So to acknowledge the contribution our animal friends make to our lives, we have cherry picked the top three pet-themed apps for your enjoyment.
This is an app that you can enjoy with your four-legged friend. Walking your hound not only gives the canine a workout but it also keeps you fit as a fiddle. Connecting via your device’s built-in GPS, this app tracks and maps your dog walking jaunts and records the duration, distance elevation, pace and speed in real-time. It also analyses how many calories you burn and whether you need to step up the march. You can your route with an online account, share your progress with friends on social networks and upload geo-tagged pictures of your walk with Rover for posterity.
Owning a horse can be an expensive business. There’s the stable and paddock to hire, the riding equipment to buy, the vet’s bills to cover and employingsomeone to muck out. If you’re bank balance can’t take the hit then the next best thing is a virtual horse. My Horse gives you the thrill of owning a horse but without the stable smells. The graphics are stunning and very realistic and through grooming and feeding you can build up a special bond strong enough to enter show jumping competitions. You can even visit and take care of your friend’s gee-gee.
Mastering the ancient language of Meow is impossible for us humans. Or so we thought. This app translates your words into fluent moggy-speak. With over 175 samples from over 25 different cats, the app analyses your voice and coverts it into a volley of carefully selected meows so you can have a two-way conversation with Mr. Kittens. Sadly it doesn’t translate what your feline friend is saying back but at least the cat will appreciate the effort.
