## What is App for Dog FREE?

The app made just for dogs- as mentioned in the New York Times, The Daily Mail UK, The Evening Standard and The Guardian!

App for Dog is the first dog activity app designed especially for dogs to use with three canine-approved activities- a painting game, Yes/No buttons and a classic dog training clicker.

The painting activity is included FREE with this version of App for Dog!  Additional paint colors, the buttons activity and the dog training clicker features are available via in-app purchase.
 
Dogs can perfect their art skills with a painting game optimized for nose-and-paw input. The colors change auto-magically and your pup will make a new unique masterpiece every time!  New paint palettes have been added- choose from 9 different color schemes for your dog to express his creativity.  The default color palette is included for free, and you can unlock 8 more color palettes via in-app purchase.

A new painting gallery feature lets you save, view and name multiple paintings.  Save paintings to your device’s photo album, share them via Facebook and Twitter or email them to friends and family so everyone can see your dog’s original artwork!

The Yes/No button training feature is optimized for dog's unique visual spectrum- the button colors are clearly distinguishable to dogs' eyes. The buttons can activate a clicker, a squeaky toy sound or a bell sound depending on your dog's preference. 
Best of all, you can change the text on the buttons to anything you like- set them to Buy/Sell and let your furry friend help with stock picks!

A classic dog training clicker is also included, which can be set to a clicker, squeaky toy sound or bell sound. Great for basic touch screen training! 

The interface is designed for dogs and their people to use together. The activities are all built with large, full-screen dog-friendly buttons so curious noses can't miss. All the buttons for people check to see if you're a human first- so your dog's touchscreen fun is never accidentally interrupted.

This app is a great chance to spend quality time with your pet.  Don’t hog your device, let them play too with the coolest app made just for dogs- App for Dog!
