You’re also able to draw arrows, rectangles, ellipses, and lines to add even more context.

If you take a lot of photos for reference, this is the app for you.

Have you ever wanted to be a goat? The thought most likely never crossed your mind, but it’s surprisingly entertaining. Take control of a goat and run around doing whatever you please. You’re able to run, jump, lick stuff, ram stuff, and just tip over. The best part is, you’re rewarded for all of it! Your misadventures can also be recorded and shared with the world.

If you enjoy doing whatever you please, this is the game for you. It’s as fun as you make it.

It’s a pretty large download, so if you’re low on space, you’ll need to free some up.
