Bow / Meow Cam
The most creative, quirky and effective way to photograph dogs and cats with your iPhone. Two iPhone hits from Tokyo, now available worldwide.
TOKYO, JAPAN - February 2nd, 2009 - APPLIYA Inc (located in Minato-ku, Tokyo and run by CEO Haleo Shiiya, hereon referred to as "APPLIYA") proudly launched Meow Cam and Bow Cam, two meowing/barking iPhone applications that captures your pet cat or dog's attention for great photographs, valued at $0.99 at the iTunes Application Store.
Meow Cam and Bow Cam are applications that significantly increase the chance of capturing fantastic shots of cats that don't want to look into the camera, or dogs that keep running around everywhere.
When you press the MEOW (or BOW) button, your iPhone will emit meowing and barking sounds that will make your pet look in your direction. That's your perfect photo op! The application includes 10 different sounds such as various meows/bows, as well as other noises (plastic bags rustling, the sound of opening a tin can etc). Experiment with different sound effects by changing the sound setting from the settings screen.
Through the Meow Cam and Bow Cam applications, APPLIYA aims to facilitate quality communication between cat/dog lovers and their pets worldwide. The company goal is to sell 30,000 downloads of each application.
