DoodlePet turns your child's hand-drawn creatures into characters they can play with. HOW IT WORKS 1. Draw a creature on paper — cat, dog, dragon, anything 2. Take a photo with your phone or iPad 3. Tap to choose animal type, colors, personality, and a special power 4. Watch it become a character in about 30 seconds 5. Play with your pet in its room, or bring it to the Zoo WHAT'S INSIDE • Three art styles — Cartoon, Whimsical, and Realistic, all included free • Pet Rooms: every creature gets its own space, with the original drawing framed on the wall • Zoo Canvas: drag several pets onto a scene and watch them react to each other • Tap-to-choose customizing: kids pick everything by tapping. No typing, ever • Gallery: see every creature next to the drawing it came from • Share: save a creature and send it to family, behind a parental gate • Delete any creature you are done with, from the pencil menu in its room BUILT FOR KIDS, HONESTLY • Made for Kids, ages 6-8, rated 4+ • No accounts. No login. Nothing to sign up for • No ads. No tracking. No analytics • Kids never type — every choice is a tap • Drawings are sent for transformation and not kept afterward • Everything else stays on your device WHAT IT COSTS AND WHY Free to start: 4 sample creatures plus 2 transformations, no purchase needed. Every transformation runs a paid AI service that costs us real money each time an image is made. That is the whole reason this isn't unlimited. We would rather tell you that plainly than dress it up. Starter Pack ($2.99) — 8 transformations and no gallery limit. One purchase, permanent. Need more? Token packs: 30 for $7.99, 100 for $19.99, or 500 for $49.99. Tokens never expire. Nothing renews. There is no subscription. WORKS ON IPHONE AND IPAD One purchase covers both. THE STORY DoodlePet started when my 8-year-old folded a piece of paper into a "phone" and drew an app on it called pet.com. He'd unfold and refold it to change screens. I watched him play and thought: I can build that for real. Every feature came from real kids ages 6-11 telling me what they wanted. "Make them interact!" became the Zoo Canvas. "Can we still see my drawing?" became the framed picture in every Pet Room. Learn more at doodlepet.app/about
