Introducing myClassicPet, An Android Application

Firstly I would like to welcome everyone who reads this to my Blog on my Android Application called myClassicPet.


Finally the application has gone into Beta testing and I must say that I'm quite excited to hear people's opinions on the application and see how it runs on different phone models. At the moment the application is still quite low key but this will change in due time. 


At the moment, the application is still very basic in it's functions, but this will all change over time and I ask the people testing the application to have a little patience with it, and I stress a little because updates will be released in fast succession. 


So much for introductions, what is the myClassicPet application?
As a kid I loved the little Digimon Tamagotchi keychains and with the advent of smartphones and all of their functions, I thought it might be a good idea to create an application much like these old digimon tamagotchi keychains. 


At the moment, the application holds 16 different kinds of pets, most of which I won't show here yet, the application holds 8 different little mini games which help increase the stats of your pet, black and white pixel graphics, much like the old keychains and some other small functions I won't post about just yet.


People who would like to test the application can send me an email and I will send them a download link to the Beta package.

  2. First off I would like to thank you for joining my blog!

    The application will have a free and paid version when it gets released, both will have the same basic features, but the paid version will have little extra perks such as changing the background color and such, which will, over time, all be integrated in the free version. I hope that this will suit your tastes?

    If you would like to try out the application in its current form you can always apply for the beta, there is always room for another person!

  4. if your looking for testers I am down!! this app sounds like it would be super legit. i remember back in elementary school battling other students with our digimon during recess or spending day and night trying to get the best digimon. Ill be sure to send you an email ASAP so we can get this app rolling.
