yes the app crashes on me also and I have to start over to do everything that I had already done. and every 24 hours in game mode the game will tell you the progress and would allow you to save it if you want.

I agree that there should be some jobs to do to earn credits, but there should be a few different jobs

i showed my mom the outfits and she gave me a little description for those who would want to know. the sim suit is like a jumper suit of outfit and the others are similar but with different colours. but for some reason now, I'm not finding the dresses and the coats. I'm not sure if there's a bug but there were new clothing added as i now write this message. as for the rest of the game when you click on the option to bathe the baby you're not actually really doing it your self but there's the baby in the bath tub with water. and in the park the baby is just lying in a stroller. and i believe when you tap the rattle that means she's holding it after you shake it. hope this somewhat helps for those who were interested.

a little while after I posted the last message I checked back with the clothing and the original that was there came back up. so if there's a bug I'm not sure if the new ones will be added to a new update or something. and when the baby has on the clothes the diaper doesn't really show which means that the clothes is covering her so no under- garments is really needed because of that. I hope I made some kind of sense because I tried my best to get a good description. I didn't get any description on the bottle though because when I was tapping on it my mom said she wasn't seeing it so maybe it wasn't visible.

I agree with many other posters on this thread that it would be great to see more interaction options for the baby. More food choices, toys, activities... I thought I'd read on the my baby sim web site that these things were coming in a future update. I really like the app! I find it to be very realistic and more engaging than other apps where you take care of a virtual pet or baby. Keep up the great work! :) I also have the hatchi app on my phone, and now in addition to asking "can I feed the pet on your phone?" my young nieces ask "Can I feed the baby on your phone?" They also love the baby sim app!

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

agree that there should be more activities but I don't think there's a way for someone else to feed your baby on another phone unless if they have your phone to do it. lol.

By flcomputergeek on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

Perhaps my last comment was a bit misleading... My nieces like to use the hatchi and my baby sim apps when I am with them and they can use my phone.

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

I understand what you said about that but It could be cool to play with other people online or something

By vulcansummer on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

Yes, it would be cool if we could have our babies play together somehow. Also, there really needs to be something where we can pause the game at night. My game ended this morning because I didn't feed my baby during the night. So sad. I started another one though.

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

I was so tired last night I fell asleep and the game ended for me because the baby was hungry. I didn't make another one yet. maybe this weekend. but I think they should make us listen to videos to earn credits to hire the nanny in the night time. I know that no one really wants to hurt or abandon their baby but when its time to sleep that's what you have to do. not every one has credit cards and could afford credits. in my country the exchange rate is a little high and it doesn't always stay the same. 1 u.s. dollar is like 6 or 7 dollars for me.

By Paige on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

It would be cool for our babies to play together. I agree with the credits. Every time I go to sleep my baby dies. My friend told me that when you give the baby the bottle there is a bottle and the babies sucks on it. She said it looked kind of gross LOL

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

i just made a new game an hour ago and when i was trying to put on the coat to take her to the park its not showing up. I'm playing in game mode.

Thank you for your suggestion. We are working on implementing the Game-sharing function and on adding other great actions in the MyBabySim game. Hope you`ll see them soon in our next updates.

Hello! Thank you for your ideas. Right now we are working on all these functions and other possibilities of MybabySim game.

By flcomputergeek on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

I am happy to do what I can to support the developers, and don't mind buying credits once or twice a month. I find I want to use the credits sparingly. I think it would be awesome to add an option to enable us to earn credits in addition to the purchasing options. For example, if you keep your baby's comfort consistently above a certain percentage for a day, you could earn a few credits. A pause option would also be fabulous, as I can't always take care of the baby consistently due to work or sleep but don't want to give up on it either.

Hi! Thank you for your support. Now we are thinking about how to make it possible for you to earn credits. We appreciate your ideas and comments. It`s not very easy to implement some functions or actions, but we'll do our best to make the game interesting and accessible for our users.

By AniaAybin on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

In reply to by flcomputergeek

The main purpose of MyBabySim app is to teach a user how to deal with a newborn. We made and go on making our gameplay as similar to the real life as it possible.When you become a parent, nobody lets you to pause your baby and just take a rest. So we decided that current feature wouldn't be appropriate for such type of game.
But there are some functions like "Silent Mode" and "Nanny" that help you to sleep at night and not to wake up from baby crying. You may also save the game every 24 hours.

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

where do I find the silent mode option? and if its turned on, will it harm the baby in the night time? I was looking for the silent mode in the game but not finding it.

By vulcansummer on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

I haven't had any luck finding the silent mode either.

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

after I feed the baby and the food is at 99 percent whenever I try to burp her I get an alert saying that I must feed the baby first then I have to keep doing it till I get to burp her some time after. so that needs to be fixed. and why can't the food go to 100 percent?

By vulcansummer on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

I have experienced the same error about burping the baby. For some reason, the food percentage has never reached one hundred.

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

hope that it will be fixed in the next update. and a few more suggestions for the developer, add a music box so even when the baby has the rattle the music could make them happy as well. and add some stuff toys like a bunny or a rubber ducky and different types of blankets and pillows. and something to do for when the baby is asleep. I still love this game so much and I know it will improve as time go by.

By AniaAybin on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

You asked about burping a baby. To make it you should feed your baby, tap "Burp" button and shake your phone. Tell us if you still have this problem.

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

I did feed my baby and I keep getting the alert that I need to feed and the food level is at 99 percent. sometimes if I do it 5 times after then I could get to burp.

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

something funny happened to me just now. my screen was locked and I heard like about 10 babies crying on my phone. when I checked I got 10 notifications telling me that my baby's progress could now be save. why are there so many notifications just for one thing?

By treky fan on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

Hi. I have bought the ability to fast forward the game in training mode. I've double-tapped that button, and voiceover doesn't seem to do anything. How can I fast forward a game in training mode?

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

you could only fast forward in game mode I think. in training you could choose to start from 1 or choose which ever month

By treky fan on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

You can only fast-forward if you have a game in training mode, which if I understand this correctly, takes you to the second day of the simulation. But how do you activate this button using voice over?

By Ornella on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

when you create a game in training mode you select which month you want to start from and then play the game. I didn't buy the fast forward mode for 99 cent yet so I not sure how that works. You could ask the developer

By DMNagel on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - 07:49

When you double tap on fast forward, the game play will be like 2 times faster. The only thing is that there is no on or off indicater, so you will have to rely on your memory and not forget when toggling that button.

By vulcansummer on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

When I go to the shop, it says the fast forward mode is 0 cents. but when I click to get it it says it's .99 cents. Is anyone else having this problem?

You may have purcheased the fat forward option. From the shop menu, double-tap on restore purcheases and wait a few seconds. You should get something that says something like, purcheases restored.

By vulcansummer on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

No, I haven't purchased it. In their newsletter they sent out, it said they are having a weekend sale. You can get the holiday packs for free, and I thought you could get the fast forward feature for free as it says 0 cents. But I guess it still is .99 cents.

By Iamriley on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

I was able to buy 100 credits for four dollars I think they're on sale

By Ornella on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

when I play either the valentine or Christmas lullaby the baby doesn't respond when I play the common one then she falls asleep. also I got the valentine's package this weekend how it was on sale but I got the outfits to show up and when the baby woke up from a nap I was looking for the valentine's outfit and it wasn't showing up and I wasn't hearing the music in the park like before. I'm still in the same game.

By vulcansummer on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

Is there a way, without starting the game over, to keep using the same baby every time you play? And this might seem obvious to some, but what does the save feature that you can buy with credits to save more than one game for? For example, my game ended with the baby I had, and I saved it. Then when I started another game and tried to save it, the game told me it couldn't be saved. I apologize if this doesn't make any sense. I'll try explaining it better if people don't understand what I'm trying to find out. Thanks.

By vulcansummer on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

Also, how many hours does the nanny feature last when you hire one? Or do you have to specify a time as to how long you will need one?

By treky fan on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

Hi, to hire a nanny you have to indicate how many hours you want by hitting the increment button. Let me give you an example. I have a three hour class this morning. I will tell the nanny to watch my baby for three hours so it won't disrupt the class. I didn't have credits to do that one day, the baby cried right in the middle of a lecture, and my professor was not a happy camper. Lol.

By Ornella on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

since the game has been updated I found a few bugs. The main one is that the game still crashes and I have to keep repeating what I had previously done. The second bug is that when my baby is sad I don't hear her cry and I have to close it off and then reopen it. Because when I changed her I found out that she was very sad and I wasn't hearing any crying only to find out that she was sick and I gave her medicine. and in the valentines package after I choose the outfits and go to the park it fine. but the second time the outfits don't show I mean the valentines dress and body suit doesn't show and when I go to the park there's no music. so that needs to be fixed. I was hoping that we would have more options like different things to do with the kid like more interactions. And its nice that there's an option to take away the pacifier. Other than that keep up the good work and looking for more improvements.

By Paige on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

I have a question, when the log says what's that smell, what does it mean?

By Ornella on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

the question about the smell is that the baby needs changing.

By Paige on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

Thanks

By flcomputergeek on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

Hi. My baby is currently dressed up like a pink Easter bunny, but that's not why I'm writing. :) As of the latest version, all game sounds work with the exception of the baby crying or babbling. She never makes any noise. On occasion, I can open the main menu and click continue, and she will cry or babble for a few minutes. It is better than when it sounded like there were 5 babies crying in earlier versions, but complete silence from the baby is a bit boring and unrealistic, and eliminates important audio clues. Now, instead of gauging from the baby's cry or laughter if she is happy or sad, I have to check the log constantly when caring for or interacting with the baby. I'm hoping this is a bug that can be resolved in an update. I like this game and am happy to support its development by buying credits when I can.

Hello, guys! We take into account all your comments about the sound issue you have. Now we are fixing it. This process takes some time that's why we want to ask you to be patient. Everything will be ok soon.

By Ornella on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

I started a new game today and I think I know why the app would crash and then you would have to redo everything from start. Its because when you do an action for example feed the baby, what happens is that voiceover reads out the entry from the log when you going through the menus and it would cause the app to crash. so what I recommend is that when you do an action just wait like maybe about 2 seconds and then move on so it won't crash. So far its working good,

By Paige on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

Do you earn credits at the end of the game? And how long do you have to wait until you can massage your babies tummy, because every time I do it, she says she doesn't want it maybe later

By Ornella on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

I think massage is only available once every 30 minutes. I don't think you could do it when the baby is asleep. I've never gotten to play to the end of the game in game mode because I sometimes fall asleep and didn't hear the baby and the game would be over and I would have to make a new one. One thing I forgot to say for those who would be interested. about the clothing, when you put on an under-wear and then you put on the outer -wear the previous clothes is then removed. So for people who thinks that you have to put on the pink 1 piece and then when you go to the outer-wear and put on the pink dress the pink one piece would then be removed. So the outer-wear is for when the baby has to go to the park or play-ground and the others are to stay home. I hope I made some kind of sense.

By Paige on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 07:49

Oh thanks for the tips, and also I am playing a game in training mode and I set it for four months, I thought it was going to play for only 48 hours but it's been 48 hours and it still going

By Ornella on Saturday, April 23, 2016 - 07:49

The game works fine after the newest update but I'm not sure if its only me but my baby gives me more trouble in the night time than the day. lol. I can't wait for the new features.
