Meow is a pocket full of cats. Twenty-seven of them, each with its own mood and its own voice: purring, snoring, hissing, a hungry little kitten, a roar borrowed from a lion. Tap a cat and it meows back. Use it to tease the cat on the sofa, to make a toddler laugh, or just because it is fun. • 27 cats, 27 different meows • Works offline, nothing to sign up for • Share the app with a cat person from the top right • Free with one small banner ad. A one-time treat for the author's cat (or a coffee for the author) removes the ads for good on every device with your Apple ID Available in English, Chinese and Japanese. Bring a cat to your Home Screen. Pair any of 27 sounds with any of 7 characters, then tap the widget to play. Set each widget separately. Widgets require iOS 17 or later.
