I originally developed Bambini for my daughter Chantal. When she was a baby, she liked to sit on my lap and type on the keyboard of my Macintosh. She was always happy when something changed on the screen. From this idea was the first version of Bambini. This showed different shapes - randomly with each keystroke. After Chantal was 3 years old, she had slightly higher demands on computer games. That's why I implemented various other games in addition. The simple forms were also replaced by more beautiful animal pictures by Marcel Möri. iBambini is the implementation for the iPhone and iPad. The operation for these devices has been optimized. In some games you have to assign letters to the pictures. Images are already included, but they are optimized for the German-speaking world. For other languages, you can choose images from the photo album.

When magic meets your phone! Surprise yourself, your friends and family with this little trick. 6 cards, a few clicks and a lot of magic!* Even if we try to make the use of jMagic as simple as possible, it is still a magic trick. Therefore, here are some tips: 1) Never perform a trick more than three times to the same audience. 2) Only show jMagic to one person at a time. 3) Talk to the people while performing the trick. 4) Never be arrogant, always remember how amazed you were the first time. 5) Don’t be disappointed if you find out how the trick works, but look forward to amaze others with it. 6) Keep the secret! Because ... to betray the secret is not sexy! Little story for the "secret keepers" in the App Store: A trumpet player says to the magician: "I've seen how you do the trick!" Says the magician: "I have also seen how you do it with a trumpet: You blow up in and then out comes the music down!" P.S .: For questions and suggestions for improvement please send an e-mail to support@j-apps.com. We try to answer them as quickly as possible. Jesse & Jo from j-apps
