Dr. PetPlay - Pretend Play Veterinarian
© 2013 Pretendasaurus, LLC
Designed to enhance pretend play, this app turns your iPad into a clipboard of the variety that a real vet might hold during an examination. You start by choosing a category of pet from ten available. You then make a profile for your pet, taking a photo with your camera. You can then conduct an examination, using a fake heart monitor and thermometer. The best part is the fake x-ray. Unfortunately the photo you take isn't shown as an x-ray. This app could possibly be of use in an early childhood classroom, where there's a pretend area. Much of what the app does could also be achieved by a low tech clipboard and a piece of paper.
