What's New in Version Version 1.3
Thank you to all of our customers who's support we value and appreciate.
Version 1.3 (Optimized for iOS 5)
• Sound effects work in record mode in iOS 5 now
***Version 1.3 bugs - We discovered two new issues that we were not able to resolve immediately without delaying the iOS5 sound effects fix.
1) Tapping the sun and moon will crash the app. Please avoid this for now.
2) In the Main Cast Builder when a picture is selected from your camera roll, the app will crash after you select "use" Rescaling the pic may also cause the app to crash. The workaround for this is to try a pic that does not need rescaling. Even if the app crashes when you tap "use", your photo will be available when you relaunch. All of your other customizations (Wardrobe, Prop, etc) will still be in memory, so you won't have to redo them.
We are working as quickly as possible to resolve these issues in a future update, but again, we wanted to get the sound effects fix out immediately. Thank you for your understanding and patience.****

Fun
I have a 4 and 5 year old. They enjoy this app a lot. Without being able to read yet, they have figured out most of the app. Good job making an intuitive interface.
As a parent, I like to watch the videos they have created. This lets them uses their imaginations. Their grandparents got a kick out of this too.
Great education app
This is a great education/play app for my 4 year old. He loves it. I searched hard and bought 6 educational apps for him. This app is the best, Monkey Math is 2nd best, the others are OK.
The only problem was, I just got this iPad a few days ago and didn't know how to properly use it, I.e. how to close apps. So with 25 apps open, my son was crashing this app, which he really loved.
I wrote a email to PlayTime Theater people on Saturday explaining as best I could the crash situation. By Sunday, David from support had given me advice on possible problems. Well the problem was mine, I didn't know how to go to the home page and shut off the unused apps by touching the little negative signs.
My son love this app as parents we think it is really great creative play. Just a mind boggling wonderful application. and then, of course excellent support.
My son has found and is already excited about their future PlayTime games.
Thanks PlayTime Theatre for such a great app and great support. Wow!!
