Ready to meet your new best Furiend? Adopt your very own Augmented Reality dog in Furiends, the interactive virtual-pet game that keeps you active and entertained! These adorable dogs need loving owners to feed, walk, and play with them every day. Bring your dog wherever you go — with the latest AR technology, your pup comes to life right in your world, ready to explore, play fetch, and pose for photos. Stay active and earn rewards! Furiends integrates with the Apple Health app to track your real-world activity, converting your steps into Furcoins — the in-game currency used to buy food, treats, toys, and accessories. The more you move, the happier (and more spoiled) your pet becomes! Build your bond. Play fetch, throw toys, give water and treats, and watch your dog respond with joy.
