***UPDATE: As of 6/25/09, Virtual Families is now LIVE on iTunes and is available for your iPhone and iPod Touch!! Woot!***

We are pleased to be able show you some previews of Virtual Families for iPhone and iPod touch. We hope to release the game late this month on the iTunes App Store. Thanks so much to all of you for your tremendous support of LDW and Virtual Families for Windows and Mac!

These previews are actual screen shots of my little family on my iPod touch.

I think it is just amazing how you guys can take an entire game and fit it on an Ipod Touch/ Iphone.

As if I didn't want an iPhone bad enough already!

I'm teasing

Many snaps LDW!

Now I NEED an Iphone .

I congratulate you guys on yet another (hopefully) transition to Iphone! How much money do you receive when someone buys it?

Yeah!! Thanks a lot!! It will be really great!!

Yay!!!!!!!!! I posted on another thread aobut this..and now yo've just GRANTED my wish!!!!!!!! I can play it on my iPod Touch now!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

My friend Pam has been looking forward to playing it on her touch ipod.

Wow, cool, this is amazing, cant wait to play it.

That's great! These games are great for portable devices because it makes it much easier to check up on the little folks while you're out.

Dude totally true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it the end of the month yet?

How about now?

It's real close. We'll let you know here first, once it is submitted to Apple for approval.

Yeah!!
Thanks Arthur!

A word of caution- Apple can, and quite likely will, sit on the game for several days before releasing it to the Apps Store. They have to carry out their own checks first. Don't expect to see it the day after it's sent to Apple!

I just wanna know if it will be likely,to be released in the begining on June maybe?. Cos' like arnie said they have to do aprovals and they might release it in the Apps Store, like 3 days or 2 after?

ya congrats virtual families for ipod touch !!!!

It it out for iPhone/iTouch yet? Now? How about now? I've been roaming the app store just hoping it is there! And will VV3 be made for iPhone/iTouch? Is it done yet???

Sorry! <evil grin> I am in a really boring three week training class and am bored out of my mind, my VV2 can pretty much run itself now, I hate to delete it just to start over since I can't have more than one game on my iPhone, but I am almost to that point!

I, too, have been checking several times a day looking for it. I just started playing VF (have Fish Tycoon, VV1, 2, and 3 for iPod) and like the PC version.

Is it out yet?

I've still got a bit of patience left in me. I havent actually played VF in several weeks though. But that'll make playing it on my iPhone that much more exciting.

Arthur's already said he'll let us know:

Ok...hhmmm does anyone know if it's been approved yet?

There would be an announcement once it has been, as quoted in Arnie's post above.

Everyone can now check the edit in the first post in this thread for the update.

Im saving up for one, whoo, $200 some away.

I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!

I've been so impatient the past couple of days

Is it just me, or does Apple seem to be taking their time with this?

I check at least every three hours to see if it's been approved... I'm desperate...

Its out!

Yessssss!! it is!!

Yay VF for iphone i am still saving money for one but i havent finished paying this laptop yet lol

I have to check this I plug in my Ipod then check the store

It might be well-suited for DS and Wii, but that could be asking too much.

I have both a DS and Wii, so that would work out fairly well for me I've never had a cellphone of any kind

I read the recent Twitter about Virtual Families being available in the iTunes Store for a limited time @ $1.99 for the full version. I have VF for the Mac and was wanting to get it for the PC. Is the version in the iTunes Store only for iPhone or is it also PC compatible?

I bought Plant Tycoon there earlier this week and now I'm wondering if I'm going to have the same problem. I had intended to run it )PT) on the Mac.

All applications that are available on the iTunes App Store are only for iPhone and iPod touch. None of those apps (including our games) will run on either Mac or Windows computers.

Where did you purchase the Mac version of Virtual Families? If it was directly from us, you will be interested in this answer in our Support FAQ.

I'm not sure how you purchased Plant Tycoon from the iTunes Store, since the only LDW games that are available there as of this moment are Fish Tycoon, VV2, and Virtual Families. There is also the mobile version of VV1 (developed by Vivendi/Big Fish Games), which is not the same as our Mac/Windows version of VV1.

Oops, I meant I bought Fish Tycoon at the iTunes Store. Guess I won't be able to play it then. I do have the Mac demo to try out though. I purchased VF right here at LDW. Thanks for the link to the FAQ page, I know I am interested.

Just noticed some reviews of VF on appstorehq.com. Here they are:
http://www.appstorehq.com/virtualfamilies-iphone-45485/app
looks like people are having trouble saving the game...

That is an issue that a very small percentage of people seem to have, and only when they purchase and install VF from the device, rather than iTunes. Although we haven't experienced that issue here at LDW, I worked out a solution and placed an answer in our FAQ to help people who are having that problem. Unfortunately, many people don't appear to use the support url contained in the VF listing on the iTunes App Store.

Maybe someone should post a comment telling them how to remedy the problem It also looked like people liked the game, so that's good

thanks!
I got it AS SOON AS I SAW IT WAS FOR SALE!!!
thanks!
my ipod touch has the bestest app ever on it!!!!!

Me to Lyss! Although my Dad locked away the Wii and isn't a fan of VF, I still have my DS and Christmas presents on my team.
