Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An iPhone app lets children control cartoon animals and games with smiles, winks, cheek-puffs, and other expressions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The app describes two input modes: Apple's on-device expression tracking and Touch Puppet mode for devices or situations where camera access is declined. Its feature set includes eight animals, eight games, four seasonal packs, 48 stickers, family leaderboards, and replay videos. The page says the camera image never leaves the phone and that optional real-face replay is off by default; App Store availability is presented as forthcoming.
