Read full descriptionHide full description
Apricot is an AI character app where you can teach the magical girls Milch and Merku new words and enjoy open-ended conversations with them. Add any word you like to the Dictionary, then use Randomize to choose a topic and spark a conversation. You can also type or speak to them directly. Show them scenery or everyday objects through the camera, and they may talk about what they see. Their affection level changes based on how many words you teach them, while their facial expressions and gestures vary as you interact. They may also pick up new words as you chat. As their vocabulary grows, new forms and special animations are unlocked. Drag a character upward to refresh and see words trending among other users. They may even add a trending word to their vocabulary. With location access enabled, they can also react to your local weather—sometimes holding an umbrella when it rains or snows. Rotate your device to landscape mode to enjoy conversations between Milch and Merku. You can also load compatible character data from the Apricot folder in iCloud Drive and chat with your own characters. HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap the button below the character to open the menu, then select 'Dictionary' to add a word. 2. Choose a topic with 'Randomize,' or start a conversation using text or voice. You can also show them what is around you using the camera. 3. Keep chatting and expanding their vocabulary to unlock new forms and special animations. * Characters you purchase can be selected at any time in Settings. If no character is selected, Milch or Merku will appear at random.
