Baby Adopter Pro

I prefer this. It is much easier amd does not take as much time. I have this amd wish there a little girl magic pro.

OK guys. I hesitated being vulnerable about this, and asking, but possibly against my better judgement in the longrun, though hopefully not, I've decided to. So please know before I begin, this isn't an easy thing for me to ask, and feels a bit awkwerd doing so.

So, I use this app a bit differently than most people most likely. Most think of this as a game. I however use it very theraputicly. We'll simply leave it to say that from past childhood trauma, I've been wounded badly. So, I use this app kind of as a way to help among many other techniques to heal my inner child, since I don't have the ability of literally having children of my own... this is about the closest thing I can do.

So, here is my question. I live with a few people who would definitely most likely make fun of an attack me verbally and emotionally if they knew I was using such app. I'd rather not go into the details of that, but it's what it is. For that reason, any time I'm around them, I've been scared, excuse my language, shitless that I'd get a push notification from the app which might include the sound of my baby cooing, or crying, etcetera. More crying. But anyway, then it would be like... "Um, is there something you wanna tell me?" And then emotionally I'd go off the deep end. So, basically, I'm trying to prevent that from happening. I remember back in the days when I had the free version of this app, if the baby got unhappy, or your power/carma level got too low, this would happen, but only when you first launched the app, but never as a sound with push notifications.

Like I say, I've been just toggling my mute switch when around others, but it's gonna be my luck, one of these days, I'll forget to do that, and the one time I forget, that's the one time it gives me away.

Generally, I try not to let the power level go below 20, just to be safe, but what I'm asking is, are there any sinareos where the kid may cry or something in the app if you're not careful that I may wanna watch out for? The other thing too, not even my other family member withstanding, but just in general for myself, hearing a child cry recording or not is a huge trigger for me. I love the app to pieces, and over all, it is helping, but this is really the only concern that I have. I've toggled off the sounds in the app, but is that all I need to do to be sure I don't get in this situation?

I do kindly ask that you not suggest up here to me if it's that bad, I need pro help. I'm already doing that. So, please. Let's not go down that discussion path... Especially not up here. That's not something I wanna talk about specificly. Please respect that wish!

@AccessWarrior3000 Hi, I am the developer of the game. Right now Veggie Battle does not support VoiceOver.

Egg Match does support VO. It works like this: the game is a typical match3 type of game and you double tap on an egg and then on the neighbor cell to make it move into that direction.

The Free Cell does support VO but right now it would be hard to play since you need to drag cards to the slots at the top. We're working to make it more convenient to play with VO.

Hope this helps!

@glassheart Hi, I am the developer of the game. When the baby gets hungry there is a notification alert with sound. The baby may cry or call "mama". It typically happens 20-24 hours after the last feeding so that you need to feed the baby every day. It will not go off during the night hours though but will wait for morning. When you install the game and feed the baby for the very first time - this is when the game asks for permission to send these notifications and like AccessWarrior3000 said you can set the notifications off in the device settings. Many users requested that we add more notifications to the game so we try to keep the right balance by default. Hope this helps.

Forgive me. I've not looked yet through all the comments in this thread, so if this has already been answered, then please disregard, but first off, thank you for such a detailed response. Second, with me being a blind Voiceover user, can you explain how one would go about using Voiceover to do the egghunt part of the game? Swyping or rather as some call it, flicking, around the screen doesn't yield anything for me at all. Is that part of the game inaccessible? If so, any plans to make it so? I'm honestly not too worried about the Freecel area, as I don't know how to play that anyway, and right now, my life is so busy, I don't have time to learn, but the egghunt may be fun if I knew what the heck I was doing. LOL!

Please don't take this rudely, but actually, I fail to understand how you think as the dev that the Egg Match works with VO.

When I go to that tab, I have to first slide my finger with touch exploration around the screen to even begin to focus in the grid area where the various eggs are.

Second, when at the top left most egg in the grid, I'm hearing column 1 row 9. That is impossible. I even had a sighted person look. I ab-so-lutely! was not on row 9. Not even remotely close! So, yeah. Further, when I double tap an egg, I'm not being told it's selected or anything of sort.

Also, getting back to me having to slide my finger from egg to egg, once I am focused in that area, flicking does absolutely nothing. I cannot flick from one egg to another. And, the eggs are so teeny that even just the slightest little movement of my finger, even just the small little trimmer I have in my hands is enough to knock it off focus.

So yeah. No. Again, I don't mean to be rude, but I neither am going to sugarcoat this. This definitely isn't Voiceover friendly. It needs a ton of work.

@glassheart We are here for the feedback and we constantly improve the game including VO. I agree it needs more work and we're working to improve as we speak.

Currently Egg Match works like so: When you tap any egg - it will describe the egg and its position: columns starting from the left and rows starting from the bottom. If you then double tap the egg and then choose and double tap the neighbor egg - the first egg will try to swap in that direction. It will swap if there is a 3 or 4 match formed.

Thank you!

@AccessWarrior3000 Hi. To get out of mini games you need to use the bottom tab bar navigation, for example you can tap on "Home" to get to the Main screen with the baby. The most right button is called "More" and it opens additional menu items list screen with locations, mini games and Egg Hunt, Settings and more.

Veggie Battle is currently not supported with Voice Over while we're still figuring out ways how to support it as it is a shooting and escape game.

@AccessWarrior3000 Regarding Music you can turn both Music and Sound off and on on the Main screen - there is a button at the top right. It is also available in the Egg Match mini game also at the top. We will be removing separate music/sound settings from the Account screen.

We have fixed a couple of bugs VO related in the Egg Match mini game. The fix is expected to be available within couple of days - now in review by Apple. Thank you!

First off, I really really appreciate everyones' responses and have just installed the update. I plan to try the egg match, and will report back if I have any issues.

As for my question now, I currently own an apple watch ultra which is on Watch OS 9.3 which just was released the other day.

When I open the Baby Adopter app on my watch, I cannot with Voiceover seem to do much of anything. Is this app more just for viewing an image graphic of your baby, and the carma/power and such, or can I actually interact, (no pun intended,) with the game itself like feeding, caring, etcetera? It would be so much more convenient for me at times to just take whatever action needed from my wrist instead of constantly having to go brab my phone.

Hi there. While I like the concept of the game overall, I just feel that there needs to be some more things added to it. One good thing would be to let you interact with the baby in each room as you add new things to it. Another idea might be using coins to do things like taking your baby to daycare, to the doctor's, etc.

@treky fan
Thanks for the ideas. We have the list of ideas and implement them while the game evolves.

@glassheart
The game on Apple Watch right now is very simple for viewing an image graphic of your baby and the power and mood status. We plan to add more functionality to Apple Watch as we see the number of installs on watch has started to increase lately. Please let me know what you would expect to add for Apple Watch. What functionality is needed there? Thank you.

Hi All! For Apple Watch users: in the most recent update we added kiss and hug care actions that you can take directly from Apple Watch. There is a few minutes delay between actions to earn points. Hope that helps :)

Hi Curly

Regarding your question on Egg Hunt. Eggs may appear randomly in game locations for example rooms and outside locations. They may appear and disappear. Once you tap on an egg - it will be cracked and stay in the specific location until hatched. Need 3 cracks before the egg is hatched and there is a time delay to wait between cracks.

Some eggs are more valuable than others and may appear only if we have a certain amount of karma points above a certain threshold. The Egg Hunt screen is where all available and hatched eggs listed. You can see a karma points threshold for each egg.

Hope that helps!

Basically, what I'd expect to see on the watch would be the ability to carry out all the various different care actions, and also the ability to feed any of the foods. As for the games like the egg match, and such, I'm not really interested in those for the watch, nor for adding things to the various different rooms like the baby room, the bathroom, etcetera. As long as I can care for and feed the baby, that's really honestly good enough for me.

Ooo! Yes! That would be really awesome! I second all of these ideas 1 billion! percent! Just, of course as long as they were accessible with Voiceover.

@glassheart We'd be happy to add more functionality on the watch. The problem is that right now Apple limits the size of the app on the watch. I think it is now 75Mb and previously it was 50Mb. Right now you can monitor the baby's health and do a couple of care actions. With that we're pretty much hitting the limit since we have high quality graphics. Once Apple updates the limit we will add more functionality.

Thanks for the ideas. We have toilet training in the works and we will consider doctor's visit for future development.

Hi Curly

The achievements that are locked for example certain items in the Zoo and Camp. Once you purchase those items - you achieve the achievement and it gets unlocked in the Game Center.

If you are already Amateur in the Egg Match Mini Game - the achievement should be unlocked. I will check this. It sounds like a bug.

Thank you for the report!

Hello! Free Cell mini-game now fully supports VoiceOver. Enjoy :)

To move a card you need to choose it by a single tap. Then double tap to initiate the movement. It would be our movement's origin. Then choose any destination place by tapping it. The destination could be another deal stack card or one of 4 free spaces or one of 4 completed stacks. After choosing the destination - double tap it to move the card we initiated by a double tap earlier. This way we can move either a single card or a group of cards from a deal stack. To move a group of cards we need to choose not the last card on the deal stack.

Hope that helps!

Hi Curly

Thanks for your feedback. Yes - we're reading and we have new features that are almost ready. We will have toilet training among new features.
Thank you for playing the game!

Hope that helps!

Hi there. I agree the game needs new fatures and maybe a few more notifications to add more realism to the game wouldn't be a bad idea either. Do you know about when these new fatures will be released?

@treky fan The new features will be released soon but I can't tell specifically when... It depends we're doing a few things in parallel - developing new games, porting existing games to new platforms and working on new features. Thank you!

Hello lovely beings,
So I see a lot of stuff on here on how to play the game.
But there are no instructions on like what the objective is.
I can move the eggs around in egg match, but what am I supposed to do?
I see all the different colored eggs. So what, am I trying to move one egg to one that matches its type?
I tried that, but it just makes a noise. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
It just tells me to try and collect an x number of shells, but not sure how to do that.
Same with the card and shooting game.
Not sure how to play those, or what the objective is.
Thank you so much!

@SilverMoon The goal of the Egg Match mini game is to reach the goal of each level within a number of moves: i.e. reach the X number of shells within Y moves; remove ice; drop down all coins. Each time there is a match 3 eggs on a row or column - they get disappeared and the eggs above move down. There could be also match 4 and match 5 in a row for which you get more points. Also you get a lot of points for T-Chain or L-chain.

@Curly We do prioritize the existing games.
