"It goes ding and you feel better." -- Jesse H., noted fantasy author and spouse The Miracle Modus is a source of hypnotic rainbows and soft bells. I'm autistic, and I wrote this because I wanted something to mitigate sensory overload. I find mathematically-patterned rainbow lights very soothing. After I showed it to a couple of friends and they had similar experiences, I decided to publish it. The first time you open the app, it will make a bit of noise and draw a bunch of lines, squares, and hexes. Once it's done this it should have a guess as to how fast your device is, and be able to perform decently. This is a little unreliable still; improvements are planned. More testimonials from users: "I can stop watching this whenever I want to, I just don't want to right now." -- Magical Princess Lory, webcomic artist "It changed my life and perception. Whether it was for the best remains to be seen." -- brightwave, app developer "I was so overloaded my face went numb and I couldn't get up off the couch, so he showed me the app and said to give it a try, and I felt relaxed for the first time in days. If you are stuck on the couch whimpering, try to slide this app under your prostrate face as soon as possible." -- Luka D., webcomic artist "It's so cool I can't even look at it." - Lerg, app developer USAGE: Watch the pretty lights. Want different pretty lights? Tap in any corner, then tap the arrows to change modes. Most modes are at least a little interactive, but sometimes it is pretty subtle. After you've explored a bit, you may find you prefer some modes, or don't like some of them. We've thought of that! SETTINGS: Tap in any corner, then tap on the gear to bring up the settings page. This allows you to change (or disable) the sounds, enable or disable modes so you only see your favorites, or re-run the benchmark phase if you think it got bogus results. SUPPORT: See the support page. Feel free to email suggestions for display modes you'd like to see, as I enjoy writing new display modes. If you wish to report the app being slow or erratic, be sure to tell me what device you've got, and what it's doing. KNOWN ISSUES: Performance is not as reliable as I'd like. PRICING: The app is free. It used to have a donation feature, but it wasn't worth the effort of maintaining. ABOUT THE NAME: The name "Miracle Modus" is used by kind permission of Andrew Hussie. It is a reference to a device in his webcomic "Homestuck".

My PlayHome Plus is a doll house for the iGeneration. Imagine a doll house where your child can use everything, even the closets, TV and shower. Where you can fry an egg and feed the family pizza. Where you can pour drinks, blow bubbles and turn out the lights. Imagine a doll house where the pieces are impossible to lose and never break. Imagine if it was designed so that even a 2 year old could use it, yet detailed enough to entertain an 8 year old. Imagine a doll house that could excite and captivate your children for hours, months, and years... My PlayHome is the original and best dolls house app. Massively interactive, your kids can explore and use everything in the house. The characters eat, sleep, shower, brush their teeth and more. Want the room to be darker? Close the drapes! Fancy a change in music? Pop a different CD into the stereo! No other doll house app comes close in interactivity, detail, ease of use and just plain fun! INTRODUCING MY PLAYHOME PLUS! My PlayHome Plus takes all the original My PlayHome apps and combines them into one giant world! Now you can jump between houses, stores, school and hospital without having to flip between apps. Includes the original My PlayHome house for free! Already own the other My PlayHome apps? You'll be able to add them to the play town for free! My PlayHome Plus will detect which other My PlayHome apps you have installed and then offer those areas to you for no cost. NEW AREAS! A new mall is being built in town! They're still working on it but they've already opened the food court! There's 4 brand new fast food shops to relax in: * Pizza parlor * Sushi * Coffee shop * Burgers and hot dogs THE CLASSIC APP FOR KIDS My PlayHome apps have been captivating children for nearly a decade now and created a whole new genre of kids apps. My PlayHome is trusted by parents because it's made by parents who also care about what their kids are playing with on their devices. * NO SOCIAL NETWORKS, PUSH NOTIFICATIONS OR REGISTRATION * NO 3RD PARTY ADVERTISEMENTS * NO NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET * NO SUBSCRIPTIONS * NO CONSUMABLE IN-APP PURCHASES For the first time in a My PlayHome app, My PlayHome Plus does feature In-App Purchases exclusively for obtaining new areas to play in. In the past, we would release these new areas as an entirely separate app which would link together with the other apps. However, over the years this become less practical so the decision was made to carefully use In App Purchases for this purpose. We will *never* use In App Purchases in exploitative ways such as for buying virtual money to "buy" things in the shops, or endless tiny purchases for a trivial virtual product. If you understandably don't want to use In App Purchases, the classic My PlayHome apps are still available with the same content and no In App Purchases: * My PlayHome * My PlayHome Stores * My PlayHome Hospital * My PlayHome School However, new content, such as the mall food court are not available outside of My PlayHome Plus. ----------------------------------------------- Clothing store music © Shtar - www.shtarmusic.com Fruit store music © Sam Semple - www.samsemple.com
