The Pocket Scavenger goes mobile

DateThursday, May 9, 2013 at 5:58AM

Fans of Keri Smith’s The Pocket Scavenger are in for a treat. Penguin US has released a creativity app for The Pocket Scavenger for iOS and Android, making this the third of its kind after Wreck This App and This Is Not An App. The Pocket Scavenger app encourages you to look away from the screen of your smartphone or tablet and interact with the world in a different way.

Much like the book, it will ask you to photograph random, quirky items, such as something miniature, a used envelope, etc. and then you can choose to be assigned an alteration like making it a part of a self-portrait. You can upload the result to a map and see scavenges happening around you. Sharing on Facebook and Twitter is possible, too. The Pocket Scavenger app is available for a price of $4.99 USD on iTunes App Store and Google Play Store.
