Poochie App is a lot of things. It has the familiar concept seen on various datings apps of swipable cards, swipe left to pass, swipe right to like - if that user swipes right on you then you can chat to one another. Even if you do not match with users thats not the end of the game, Poochie features a global timeline where anyone can post a status update, whether if be a photo or just saying "hey! what up, this is me an my Pooch" you can browse from people close by or people in Timbuktu if you wish. The goal of Poochie is to connect people (and their Poochie's) both near and far. Irish made - in Žižkov, by REPTILEHAUS the digital agency
