Candid shots of pets are great, but only when you're not trying to get the attention of your [cat or dog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paw-parent)—with the BarkCam photo app, there's no more struggling to get a furry friend to look your way. The app uses the sounds of squeaky toys, meowing and doorbells to direct a pet's attention towards you, so that you can capture the perfect shot of their face. The app is a lot like [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blink-break-1) in the sense that you can add filters and make other photo enhancements, but the sound feature makes it totally unique.

After snapping the [perfect pet photo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tails-frames), images can easily be shared to social networks. The BarkCam app is free to download for iOS devices and there are plans to introduce an Android version later this year.
