Ruftiere: Sprachnachrichten

Calling Animals is the voice of the family, completely screen-free.

The child has an animal figure – fox or owl – with two buttons: speak and play. When they press the speak button, the message goes directly to your phone. You reply in this app, and the child hears your voice on the Calling Animal. No feed, no ads, no browser, no strangers in the chat.

This app is the companion app for parents and grandparents. It only works with a Calling Animal.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THE APP

• Listen to your child's voice messages and reply with your own voice message
• See who has already listened to a message
• See if the pet is online and when your child was last online
• Set up the pet: Scan the QR code, connect to Wi-Fi via Bluetooth, and give it a name

• Invite parents, grandparents – everyone has equal rights

• Adjust the volume, brightness, and maximum message length

• Set a conversation window: Replies play immediately when your child is at the pet

• Put the pet to sleep when it needs a break
