I disabled the music upon setup and was trying to figure out how to turn it back on, but tapping only flipped to the next card. I tried tapping different corners or long pressing but still couldn’t find a way. The only method I found was to delete the app, re-download and start over. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the review! We made this many moons ago when our first was just a baby so we’re glad you found some use in it! As for the main menu with turning the sound on and off, you basically have to force close the app (side up to close it) and then reopen. It’s not ideal but since you’ve added a review maybe we can push an update to expand upon a few things! Thank you ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-02-20* Nice little app! Apple Watch app is the best. ### 5/5 — Very cool! *2023-12-13* Fun opening it up on my watch and having my little bat around at it. Interesting faces of the people checking it out! **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! It means a lot! ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2023-09-05* I downloaded when it was on a free promo. Put it on all my devices for my daughter. Love the watch app. I think they usually charge .99 to $2.99 for the app either way it’s a good deal for a simple (very simple) app that changes images with a tap. Open it up at dinner parties haha. Heads up ~ Force close it to restart or close. ### 5/5 — Basic but neat! *2023-09-03* If my little needs a quick distraction while in the waiting room or at the airport while on my lap it works perfect! Open the app and just let them tap to see different pics. **Developer response:** Yes, exactly!!! Thank you for the review! ### 5/5 — Very cool! *2023-08-30* Fun opening it up on my watch and having my little bat around at it.
