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

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Akinator at 4.6 against My PlayHome Plus's 4.0. Akinator also leads on ratings volume (426K vs 10K) and chart position (#97 vs unranked). My PlayHome Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
