The iFruit App for Grand Theft Auto V

After some Googling I learned that the iFruit app is, in fact, an actual app for various devices.  It was referred to several time in the game so I decided to check it out.  I downloaded it on my iPad and so far it's pretty lackluster.  Unless you have a great desire to alter your in-game vehicles or teach Chop some new tricks....it's  nothing more than another link to your Rockstar Social Club account.

I am a little confounded by the Los Santos Customs part of the app.  It allows players to alter the main player vehicles for any of the three main characters.  I guess it's kind of neat that you can make the default vehicle unique.  I would rather spend my credits souping up the unique vehicles that I have started hoarding.  It does make more sense to spend money making a vehicle that will continue to respawn even better.  Maybe I'll check that app out some more later on.

One other unique feature of the app is the ability to take care of Franklin's dog Chop.  Within the "Chop the Dog" app players have to feed, water, and entertain Chop in order to keep him happy.  There is also a series of mini-games that allow players to earn points by controlling Chop and helping him to keep other dogs away from his "bitch" or to chase off Ballers who are trying to break-in to Franklin's car.  This helps keep Chop happy as it serves as some sort of dog walking equivalent.  You randomly accumulate credits from these mini-games and can use the credits to buy a nicer collar for Chop or to train him to do tricks.  There are some in-game benefits to using this app if you're interested in having Chop look cooler or be able to sit on command.

The app also provides a link to different features of the Rockstar Social Club like in-game photographs taken on Snapmatic or videos created with the video editor.  Here's a funny video someone made.:



If your goal was to create a random character decked out in a matching turquoise outfit who appears to have a great desire to take people out while riding a BMX bike....goal accomplished.
