Ziggy is a little dog who belongs to both of you. Feed him, play with him, love him, and he grows happier by the day. Forget him for a while and he sulks, which turns out to be a very good excuse to text each other. One pet. Two phones. Wherever you both are. WALK ZIGGY TOGETHER Step into a cosy 3D park and walk Ziggy side by side, even from different cities. You'll see each other walking, wave, show how you feel, and talk out loud as you go. Wander from Ziggy's Garden to Cherry Canal, Ziggy Town and the Blossom Park by Heart Lake. Pet the ducks, the bunny and the sleepy owl. Hide love notes along the path for your partner to find on their own walk, and watch golden hour turn into a night full of lanterns. When one of you arrives, the other gets a little nudge: come walk together. A SCRAPBOOK OF THE TWO OF YOU Make books of your favourite days. Add photos, then write and draw on them and stick things down. Pick from papers, frames, tape, torn edges, film strips, cut-out letters, and Ziggy himself in every mood he has. You can both work on the same page at the same time. When a book is finished, print it as a PDF and actually hold it. SEND THEM FLOWERS. ACTUALLY. Arrange a bouquet stem by stem: roses, tulips, sunflowers, lavender, whatever suits them. Choose the wrapping and the ribbon, angle every flower, then tuck in a note. It arrives on their phone like a real one. THE LITTLE THINGS • Doodle something daft and it appears on their Home Screen • Send an Instant, a photo just for them: no feed, no likes, nobody else • Answer the question of the day and see what they said • Tap a heart, leave a note, tell them you're thinking of them • Every moment is kept in your Memories, so nothing gets lost ZIGGY ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Ziggy lives in a widget, so you can see how he's doing without opening anything. When your partner sends something, he's the one who tells you. PLAY TOGETHER Ziggy Jump, Trace Together, Tic Tac Toe, Connect 4, Dots and Boxes and Memory Match. Live, two-player, with a scoreboard that keeps track of who's winning (it matters). MADE TO FEEL LIKE YOURS Two themes, sunny Dawn and cosy Midnight, carry through every screen and the widget. Pair with a private code and it's just the two of you. No public profiles, no strangers. ZIGGY FOREVER Ziggy is free to download, and everything above works without paying. Ziggy Forever is an optional subscription that lifts the limits: • Unlimited scrapbook books and pages • The whole sticker drawer and every brush • Unlimited bouquets • Every Instant kept forever, and saving to your photo library • Printing a whole book • More in the park: pet Ziggy, give him treats, play catch, and unlock extra moods and moves One subscription covers both of you. • Monthly $5.99 / Yearly $29.99 (prices vary by region) • The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase • Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings • Nothing you have already made is ever taken away The 3D park needs iOS 18 or later.
