New AlphaPod App - 100% Hype!

Hello everyone!

Today I wanted to share with the Hype community that my AlphaPod app is now live on the App Store!

I want to thank everyone here who helped me out when I got stuck. I couldn't have done it without your help!

AlphaPod

The AlphaPod app has several cool features:

  1. A coloring activity for each animal
  2. A fun memory game
  3. A marimba keyboard to follow along the AlphaPod African song
  4. A fun egg hunt
  5. A tiled musical puzzle
  6. Extra-cool Augmented Reality tool to watch an owl, a polar bear, or even a gorilla come to life in your own room!

Hope you all enjoy it. Please let me know what you think. I'll be launching the iPad and Mac version in the next day or so.

Hey Julian!
I bought a copy of AlphaPod to test on my MacMini M1 as I am considering attempting children's apps as well using Hype. Not to mention I have a 2.5 yr old granddaughter that would LOVE it from what I see in the screen shots.

Installed OK but fails to launch. Here's the header on the error report:

I'm not @julian but it looks like some issue restoring the app. I would try these steps:

  1. Quit AlphaPod
  2. In the Finder, choose the "Go > Go to Folder…" menu item
  3. Type in "~/Library/Containers/" and hit return
  4. Find the folder "com.alphapod"
  5. Throw this folder in the trash
  6. Restart your computer and relaunch AlphaPod

@julian congrats! better and better, I love this project.
just added in the Apps gallery in HypeDocks

I really appreciate it Michelangelo!
