The Pou app is available for both the Android and iOS platforms and we have further details below so read on for more.

Pou is a virtual pet and the app has various objectives. Users can play games in order to earn coins to clothe and feed Pou, try experimenting in the lab and also can dress their Pou’s with different clothing, glasses and hats, to customize them. The Android Pou app is free and compatible with devices running Android 1.6 or later. It has just been updated to version 1.2.14 and the update brings new achievements, a Match Tap & Color Tap game, breakfast food, Afro wig, more desserts and phone colors, guestbook messages, new sweets and more. Also if you log out you simply need to enter the same email to play with the same Pou again.
