Remember when a parcel arrived and the best part wasn't what was inside? No ads. No subscriptions. No data collected. Just bubble wrap. Bubble Wrap Classic is a photo-realistic sheet of bubble wrap that never runs out. Tap. Pop. Feel the tiny buzz. Repeat until the world gets a little quieter. POP IT YOUR WAY • Tap a bubble, or swipe across a row to pop it all at once. Several fingers work too • Bubbles spring back as they pop, and every pop sounds a little different • Haptic feedback: every pop buzzes back • Finish a sheet to see your stats (bubbles, time, golden ones), then roll out a fresh one THINGS TO FIND • About 1 bubble in 500 is golden. It counts as 10 and bursts into confetti • Secret numbers hide in your lifetime count. Try 42. Or 404. • Tricks to master: clear a whole sheet in 10 seconds, or without lifting your finger. Some tricks stay secret until you stumble on them • Everything you find lives in your Achievements MAKE IT YOURS • Three bubble sizes and four photo backgrounds: Box, Kraft paper, Cork and Walnut • Sound and haptics on separate switches • Share your score as a good-looking card • Three clear buttons: New sheet, Share and Settings. No secret gestures • Unfold iPhone Duo for a separate sheet on each side of the fold, plus two tricks you can't pull off anywhere else • For iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, in 10 languages CLASSIC+ Everything above is free. Classic+ is a one-time purchase that adds four wrap colors (Mint, Lavender, Peach, Smoke) and four more backgrounds (Denim, Wool, Suede, Leather). Try any of them for one sheet before you decide. With Family Sharing, one purchase covers the whole family. Bought the app before it went free? Classic+ is already yours. Just want to say thanks? There's a tip jar. NO NONSENSE No ads. No subscriptions. No accounts. No data collected. Works offline, on planes and during very long phone calls (mute it in meetings). Fun fact: bubble wrap was invented in 1957 as textured wallpaper. It failed as wallpaper. It's doing great here.
