The 'There’s A Pony For That' video features imaginary phone applications that bear similarities to some of [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-underdogs)’s most popular apps. 'Ponybook,' 'Rarity’s Secret,' and 'Angry Mare' are just a few of the phony pony apps used to showcase the show’s various characters. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic premiered on The Hub in late 2010 and has already gained quite a following of fans young and old.
