This app does not take real X-rays. It draws simplified cartoon bones for pretend play. It cannot see inside people or pets, and it gives no medical information.

How it works

Three steps to your first scan

A grown-up reads the welcome, then the little doctor takes over. No name, age or sign-up needed.

1

Pick your doctor badge

Fox, Turtle, Dinosaur or Octopus. The badge follows you into every scan, and you can change it any time.

App screen titled Pick your doctor badge with Fox, Turtle, Dinosaur and Octopus portraits; Fox is selected
2

Hold still and scan

Point the camera at a hand, chest or face and watch the bones glow. Prefer no camera? Every live scan also has an illustrated version.

Questions

Questions grown-ups ask

Restore, Ask to Buy and more are answered on the support page.

Read support answers
Is this a real X-ray scanner?

No. It is pretend play. The app draws simplified cartoon bones over the hand, body, face or animal points it can see, or shows a body-part illustration. It cannot see inside a body or diagnose anything.

What is free?

Hand, chest and head scans, plus photos of people, faces or hands. There is no limit on the number of scans and nothing to recharge.

Can we play without camera access?

Yes. Choose “Play without the camera” during setup. Illustrated rooms and photo scanning stay available, and a grown-up can change camera permission later in iOS Settings.

Can the app see all our photos?

No. Importing uses Apple's photo picker, so only the picture you choose is shared. Saving asks only to add an image to Photos, never to read the library.
