Club Penguin (app)

The Club Penguin App (formerly called My Penguin) is a free mobile application for Club Penguin, fully released on May 9, 2013 for Apple devices and December 18, 2014 for Android devices. The app is compatible with any of the aforementioned brands with operating systems of either iOS 6 or Android 4.0.3 and above. In addition to being released for iPads on May 9, 2013, the app was able to download for iPhone and iPod Wednesday, 16 April, 2014.

Purchasers of the app can choose to play in several different languages: English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian, all of which are available in the regular version for Club Penguin as well.

Summary
Both versions of the game offer a new art style towards Club Penguin; turning the traditional sprite artwork into a 3D model which is used by penguins and puffles. In addition, they both allow you to play all of Club Penguin's games (however on Android the game does not host Card-Jitsu Snow).
