Turn the cats and dogs you meet in real life into collectible cards — then watch them come alive. PawCatch combines camera play, a living field album, card progression, and friend-to-friend trading in one cozy collecting game. MAKE A LIVING STICKER Bring a pet you have caught to life as a short looping animation. Set it as a Home Screen widget, send it as an iMessage sticker, or share it anywhere. It is still your cat — same photo, same markings — only now it moves. Included with PawCatch Plus, or available as a single purchase. CATCH REAL CATS & DOGS • Frame a real pet's body and face with the guided camera • Play the timing-based catch encounter • Turn a clean photo into a die-cut sticker and interactive foil card • Give each pet a name and discover its rarity and traits BUILD A LIVING FIELD ALBUM • Browse your collection as a binder or sticker grid • Tilt or touch foil cards to move the light • Flip a card to revisit its memory • Dress pets in over 100 wardrobe accessories, including four premium collections • Stage a photo shoot with backdrops, props, and a shoot-only wardrobe REUNITE, UPGRADE & LEVEL UP Start from a pet's profile when you meet that same pet again. Take a reunion photo, review the visual comparison, then make the final identity decision yourself. Confirmed reunions can raise the card's level after the cooldown. You can also use keepsakes earned from daily check-ins and login milestones to upgrade a card and grow Bond, Charm, Instinct, Focus, or Vitality. EXPLORE YOUR MEMORIES Add a catch to your map only when you choose. PawCatch rounds its location to an area of approximately 50 meters and does not request background location. CONNECT & TRADE Sign in with Apple to: • Add friends with a code or QR • Browse accepted friends' card albums • Send one-for-one trades or gifts • View friend map cards and offer trades • Join weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards • See friend and trade activity in the Journal Shared catch photos are shown only after review. Report and block controls are built in. KEEP COMING BACK Daily check-ins award treats and card-upgrade materials. Earn coins through catches, field goals, and a weekly album across active days. Grow your streak, earn badges, and climb the ranks. KIND BY DESIGN • Core play works in guest mode • Sign in is only needed for PawCatch Cloud and social features • No advertising • The core game stays free • Camera analysis and cutout creation happen on your device • For signed-in sharing, PawCatch uploads the resized cutout — not the raw camera frame PawCatch is free to download and play. Optional in-app purchases include PawCatch Plus (monthly or annual) with cloud backup and sync, a monthly coin and treat stipend, and a gilded card frame; coin packs; single Living Sticker generations; premium wardrobe collections; and a one-time, restorable Supporter Pack.
