What phones does Pookatoo work on?
Pookatoo will work better on phones with large screens. It will work great on most tablets.
The controls may be difficult to use on smaller screen devices - in this case, we suggest using a pinch zoom action to enlarge the screen a little bit.
Apart from that, any phone with a modern web browser can be used.

How can I use Pookatoo with Whatsapp or other messenger apps?
Just save the image file you made to your phone first, then send it as an image in Whatsapp or other apps.
You can also send animated text, however we strongly recommend changing the background colour of the text to white for a better effect (see the question How do I change the text background to white?).
