00:00Ever wished Pokemon Go had real animals? Well, you've been heard. Meet Catch Cat. Here's how it
00:06works. Snap a photo of any cat, yours, your neighbors, or a stray on the street. In a mini
00:12game, you then throw the cat a virtual snack. The app checks if the cat's already in the system.
00:17If it's new, you unlock a virtual trading card with name, XP count, and combat stats.
00:24The game's algorithm analyzes the breed and builds a 3D version for your collection.
00:30There's also an in-game map that shows felines that other players have spotted near you.
00:35But let's talk privacy. The developer has pledged to respect users' privacy and not sell data.
00:41Cat detection runs locally on your device, instead of uploading to cloud servers. Still,
00:47be wary of any app potentially collecting your personal info. Just look at Pokemon Go. The
00:53original devs sold the game, and user data is now used to train delivery robots.
00:58What's next for Catch Cat? A player versus player mode where your cat cards can battle against your
01:05friend's cat cards. But users report the game's still a bit buggy, as it's still in development.
01:10So, be honest. Is this pawsome or a hard pass?
