Candid shots of pets are great, but only when you're not trying to get the attention of your cat or dog—with the BarkCam photo app, there's no more struggling to get a furry friend to look your way. The app uses the sounds of squeaky toys, meowing and doorbells to direct a pet's attention towards you, so that you can capture the perfect shot of their face. The app is a lot like Instagram in the sense that you can add filters and make other photo enhancements, but the sound feature makes it totally unique.
After snapping the perfect pet photo, images can easily be shared to social networks. The BarkCam app is free to download for iOS devices and there are plans to introduce an Android version later this year.
