Widget Pet: Interactive Virtual Pet Fun

In this episode, Ida gives us an in-depth look at the iOS app Widget Pet.

In Widget Pet, you can adopt and care for a virtual pet. You can select and customize a dog, cat, bunny or other virtual pet from the in-app WidgetPet pet shop. Once selected, the pet can be incubated and hatched. You then feed, play with, and care for your virtual pet, impacting its mood and triggering activities. As the pet grows, it unlocks new capabilities like mini-games and virtual vacations. The app features a customizable widget that follows the pet's health, hunger and happiness levels on iOS screens. It provides real-time updates on the pet's emotions and activities throughout the day. The widget can be added to iOS devices and Apple Watch to keep the virtual pet close by.
