Introducing My Baby Sim -real baby simulator app that supports VoiceOver

Hi everyone. I'll be putting an entry in the app store in due course, if there isn't one already or someone else doesn't do it, but I've just installed this and here are my thoughts on my first run around the park with it.

First, it's beautifully accessible and not too hard to figure things out, although I wasn't sure why I'd need credits. Is there a way of earning them without buying them for those who can't afford to or don't choose to make in app purchases, I don't know. But I had three free ones when I began and buying them certainly isn't as pricy as a lot of games I've seen, so was happy to support the devs in this way. I since used them to buy clothes for my baby, it certainly makes a very nice change to have a choice of how to dress it. I'm not sure if we already have toys or we need to get them, because when I try to shake the rattle I don't hear a sound, but I also don't get an error, so not sure what's going on there.

There is one problem I've encountered. The voiceover seems to be very laggy on the main screen around the main baby graphic. Sometimes it will say "Baby body" and sometimes it won't, and I have a real problem getting to see the actions and care buttons. I can always find the baby's stats and the main menu button, but these important two buttons are sometimes almost impossible to find.

All in all it's amazing to have another accessible sim game and I have nothing but cudos and gratitude for the developers. I'll be interested to see how anyone else gets on here.

Hi, do the features in the holiday pack last after the holidays are over? Also, do the features come with the pack or do you have to buy them along with the pack?

Thank you so much

This game is really cute but I think that it should change a little. In the menu to feed the baby, and the only option is a baby bottle I don't think there should be an option to make a choice because there's only one item available in that menu. Also there should be more toys and things to do in the park and other places to go and do things. Other than that nice game. and keep up the good work.

Hi, I love this game. I agree with the other suggestions, then there should be a way to earn credits besides buying them

Also, I don't understand the toy breaking. My log will say that the toy broke, but all the toys still work fine. What does this mean?

Hi, when the toy breaks, I think of it as my baby has dropped her toy. When this happens, just go back in to the toys menu, and shake the rattle again.

Hi. I'm trying the advanced level for the first time. I like this level over the beginner one, because it actually takes time to give the care that the baby needs. However, I have one question. When bathing the baby, there is a tip that tells you to wipe the baby with a towel if you get water in their eyes. But where is the towel? I can't find it.

Thanks i was very confused. Do you have any vision? I'm asking because in the advanced level I heard that you need to warm the bottle until it is green. If you didn't have vision, how would you know how to warm the bottle? That is the only reason I have not played the advanced level yet.

I don't have any vision. To heat water and milk on the advanced level, first double-tap heat water or milk, depending on if you are feeding or bathing the baby. You will hear something that sounds like boiling water. When voiceover says that the temperature is normal, double-tap that button again. To find out what the temperature is, swipe let on the screen once every few seconds.

Thanks I will definitely try the advancedmode soon. what else is different in advanced mode?

Hi. I've just started with a new baby after being away over Christmas and thought I'd purchase the holiday package, as I read here that you can use it even after the holidays. So I bought it before I started the game and it said the purchase was successful but I don't see it. No clothes, no lullabye, no new rattle, no snow, nothing. I'm playing in game mode on beginner level, but surely it shouldn't make a difference? Has anybody had a similar problem or can anyone shed light? Oh, I've tried restoring purchases with no success. Thanks in advance for any help.

To get the Christmas package to work, start a new game, pick the mode you want, the gender of the baby, etc. There should be something that says, Christmas addition. Double-tap this, and select on, or something along that line. The holiday pack is turned off by default.

When my baby was crying I checked the log and I was feeding her and when she was crying a little I heard another baby laughing. and I'm pretty sure that I'm taking care of one baby so I heard 2. also, sometimes the game would crash on me and when I open it I have to do over everything that I already did before so that needs to be fixed. and for the menus I don't like how it always closes and go back to the main screen like that. if you know you're in the care menu and you want to use to wet wipe and dusting powder when you use one thing it goes back in the main screen and you know you want to go back there to do other things. so that should also be fixed. still a very nice game. in my currency I think the credits are very expensive. maybe you could put unlimited for 9 dollars or 100 for 99 cents. just a suggestion

I agree with all of your suggestions and I have had all of the same problems. Also my log will say my baby is sad but she is making happy noises. But i still love the game it is my favorite

I found another bug in the game. When I choos an outfit for my baby it won't select. meaning, that it tells me to bjuy for 1 credit which I already did and when I restart the game then it would work.

Hi, I purchased the Cristmas edition and found a bug. When I go into outfits, sometimes the Cristmas suit doesn't show up in the list. Also, what do the marine and cristmas suits look like? I am totally blind so I was just curious.

that's the same bug I was talking about in my comment. Sometimes the outfits doesn't show up. and I really don't mean anything bad by this but I've stopped playing this game for a while because it keeps crashing and when I restart i have to do over everything I just did i didn't mind at first but i was playing in game mode and today i just got fedup and discontinued the game. i can't really afford the credits and i can't get to sleep good at nights so until a mager update is done then i will play. at least add an option to pause the game and when ready to play tap on resume.

HI, I have a suggestion for earning credits. What if, like the blindfold games, you could earn a few credits by listening to videos?

Thanks for making such an awesome game. This is truly as real as it can get. I do have one suggestion though. I think that we should just be able to feed the baby once, considering the fact that we must heat up the milk first. I mean, from a realistic point of view, the current feeding system doesn't make much sense. In real life, a bottle only gets heated up and given once during feeding time. Imagine this. You have a hungry baby. Now you must heat up the bottle. You go and give it to him, but he only takes one or two sips and spit out the bottle. To make matters worse, the milk temperature magically drops to 0 and so you must repeat the process about 10 more times. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining, nor do i find it problematic. I only find it a bit unrealistic, considering this is such a realistic game. Other than that, i find this game super awesome. Thanks again for all your hard work. I appreciate all your effort in making the game so accessible for us. It is always a pleasure to support such an awesome developer.

Hi. So i was playing a game in training mode. Not advanced just regular training mode. Been feeding the baby by just pressing bottle. But 3 times it has asked me to "heat up milk" and i thought that was only in advanced mode? Could this be a bug or is this apart of it?

I was playing at one time and I had the same thing happen to me in training mode. the one thing I would like fixed in the game is the notifications. sometimes they go off like crazy and when I check the baby is fine comfort and food levels are good. so sometimes it just goes off for no reason.

Glad i'm not the only one. It happened a few days ago and i thought i was maybe just dreaming or half asleep. But then it happened a few more times and i was sure it was real.

sometime the clothing doesn't show up when I choose a specific one and then I would have to back out of it and then it would appear when I select it. and more suggestions to the developer is to add different types of baby food and more interaction with the baby and more toys

Hi, I have recently switched from a plan that had unlimited data to one that gives me to gigs of data. I know you have to create an account to play, but is there any way you can play offline when you can't use data or when a wifi network isn't within range. I would hate to have to stop playing the game because I switched to a chepar plan with far less data.

for the clothing please put a little more description or a more info button to for persons who are totally blind which would give a description of the suit for example marine suit or pink one piece I don't know if its a top or an under-wear. and add some baby shoes keep up the good work.

Hi. I think all of the clothes listed in the under ware section of the clothing menu are meant to be worn under the baby's outfit, so you would put the under ware on first, then the outer ware.

to the developer, could you put the option to massage the baby's tummy in the care menu and fix it so that we won't have to turn voice over on and off to do it? this would be helpful because sometimes when I turn vo off to do it it would go it to another menu then I have to keep doing it till I get it right. keep up the good work and all the best.

Alternatively you can leave voice over on and put your finger in the middle of the screen. Your phone will make a clicking sound without saying anything. Now double tap and hold anywhere, then move your finger left and right a few times. Did you get my 2 messages regarding that other app we talked about?

I didn't check the messages yet going to in a little while. I was able to finish the baby sim game well this time. how I was waking up early these past few days so I did well

where do I go to find the private messages you sent me I checked my email but didn't find it

They should be in your gmail. When you sent me a message, it went to my icloud. Just scroll past the links. It should be there.

The app works quite fine, but there are some annoying workarounds. You need to turn off voice over, then swipe right with 1 finger to access the main menu. Turn on voice over and click on any of the unlabeled buttons to see where it takes you.

I am really enjoying playing this game. I really appreciate the developers for making it accessible to us.

Here are a few obsevations and suggestions. First, how do I turn off the baby notifications at night. I can't hire a nanny at the moment. Is there another way to turn the baby off so I don't get woken up at night?
Also, when the baby is happy, it sounds like he or she is fussy. It would be nice to have a few more happy sounds, for the baby.
It would also be neat if we could download different sounds of a baby babbling or sucking on a bottle and so forth, just for some variety.
Also, it would be nice to be able to have a preview of what is in the store, so you can decide if you want to buy credits.
Can anyone tell me what kinds of things are in the store?
Also, if I'm understanding it correctly, if I buy the holiday packs, I have to start over with a new baby? If that's the case, perhaps that could be changed so that we can use them on the current baby we have.
Again, I am thoroughly enjoying this game and appreciate all the effort and time that went into making it accessible for us.

Does anyone have a description of the baby clothes

I was asking the same question about the clothes. even there are outer weir and under wear I still don't know what the baby sim suit looks like or the marine suit. I don't know about the notifications but sometimes I just wake up in the middle of the night like really late and take care of her and leave her till about 6 the next morning. by that time she will be needing food and change of clothes. and I also hope that in the next update there will be more interaction with the baby and more things to do and also things to do when the baby is asleep. and one more thing is that when I try the Christmas lullaby the baby does nothing. she only falls asleep to the normal one.

like when the baby is asleep you could work to earn credits to buy clothes and toys and other things.

Do you have to save your game if you're playing in game mode, or will the app automatically do that for you? Also, I noticed people talking about different levels. How are these levels reached?
Also, the app keeps crashing on me and I have to start over what I have already done. Is anyone having this problem?
I like the idea of working to get credits.
