Looky Looky
Catch their eye for the photo
Only for iPhone
Free
iPhone
Unfold your iPhone Duo and a friendly sun, a bubbly fish or a peekaboo critter cheers from the outer screen while you frame the shot. Tap Hey! and catch their eye.
Getting a little one to look at the camera is hard. Looky Looky turns the back of your phone into the most interesting thing in the room.
Looky Looky is built for iPhone Duo and works best unfolded. You frame the shot on the big inner screen while the outer screen faces your child and plays a cheerful animated character with playful sounds. When they look over to see what's going on, you're ready.
HOW IT WORKS
• Unfold your iPhone Duo and point the rear camera at your little one.
• Pick a character. It plays on the outer screen, right by the lens.
• Tap Hey! for a burst of animation and sound to catch their attention.
• Tap the shutter. A big 3-2-1 counts down on their side, then the character celebrates with them.
NINE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS
• Sunny: a smiling sun that blinks, sways and bounces toward the lens
• Bloop: a squishy teal jelly with one big eye that splits into three bouncing minis after the photo
• Fishbowl: a round orange fish with purple polka dots that blows one giant wobbly bubble
• Rocket: a chubby aqua rocket that loops toward the lens and blasts off on a rainbow
• Peekaboo: Zib, a fuzzy green critter, peeks over a bush and pops up with a "boo!"
• Balloons: a bunch of shiny balloons, and one grows big enough to pop into stars
• Silly Face: a doodle face pulling funny faces for your little one to copy
• Penguin: a round little penguin that belly-slides across the ice and waves hello
• Axolotl: a smiley axolotl that fans out its frilly gills and blows heart bubbles
Each character has its own Hey! move with a sound to match. Every character and every sound is original and made right inside the app.
OPTIONAL PACKS
The nine characters above are free. Add more with one-time purchases: the Pet Pack (toys that catch a pet's eye), the Newborn Pack (high-contrast shapes for the littlest eyes), the Birthday Pack (a cake your child can blow out), Ocean Friends, Dino Stomp, Big Trucks and the Seasonal Pack, plus Mirror Buddy, Name Caller, Magician and Bubble Machine on their own. Unlock Everything gets every pack and character, including ones added later. Purchases work with Family Sharing.
MADE FOR MOVING TARGETS
• Burst takes three quick shots each time, so you have a few to choose from.
• 3-2-1 gives your little one a moment to get ready. Turn it off when you need to be quick.
• Auto takes the photo for you when every face in the frame turns toward your phone.
• Tell Looky Looky where the lens is, and the characters glance the right way.
• A mini preview shows you exactly what your child sees.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
• Looky Looky doesn't upload anything. The face check for Auto runs on your iPhone, and the camera frames it looks at are never saved or sent anywhere.
• Your photos are saved straight to your Photos library. Looky Looky asks only for permission to add photos, so it can't see the photos already in your library.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Showing characters on the outer screen needs iPhone Duo, unfolded. On other iPhones, or with iPhone Duo folded, you can still take photos with the sounds, countdown, Burst and Auto, and preview the characters on your own screen.
• Sounds play even when your iPhone is in Silent mode, so your little one can hear them. Use the volume buttons to set the level.
