Frequently Asked Questions

  • What devices is Apptivity compatible with?

    Apptivity is currently only compatible with iPad, iPad 2 and the new iPad.  Some Fisher-Price Apptivity items are compatible with iPhone or iPod Touch.  Be sure to check toy packaging to see which devices are compatible for your specific toy.

  • Does Apptivity work with a screen protector on my device?

    Apptivity works best without a screen protector.

  • Will Apptivity toys damage my screen?

    We know a big concern with parents is the safety of playing with a physical toy on their iPad screen.  Acknowledging this, we have developed Apptivity toys utilizing special screen-safe plastic that when clean and free of foreign debris will not scratch screen surfaces.

  • How do I change the settings on my iPad when I use my Apptivity toy?

    From the home screen, tap the Settings icon.  From there you can change a variety of settings including turning off multitasking gestures.  For more detail, please refer to http://www.apple.com/support/ipad

  • How do I control the volume of my iPad when I use my Apptivity toy?

    Use the volume up/down buttons on the side of your device.  For more detail, please refer to http://www.apple.com/support/ipad

  • Why can’t I use my other weapons in flying levels in Apptivity Batman?

    ·         You cannot use your combat weapons in flying by game design as they would not allow you the range and fire rate required to complete the mission.

  • Can I use the Multi Target scope with other Apptivity Batman figures?

    ·         Yes, the Multi Target scope can be attached to any Apptivity Batman figure but not The Bat Apptivity vehicle.

  • Can I purchase credits within the Apptivity Batman game instead of just earning them?

    ·         In-app purchases are not available in this game.

  • My figure isn’t getting recognized by the Apptivity Batman game when I place it on screen.

    ·         First, ensure that the figure is specifically meant for the Apptivity Batman game. You will be able to tell whether it is for Apptivity by looking for the base that the figure sits on.  Only figures with an Apptivity base will work with the game. 

    ·         Check the bottom of the base for debris, and wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.

    ·         Wipe your screen with a soft, dry cloth to ensure the best conductivity with the base.

    ·         Make sure you are holding the figure by the indented grips on its base in order for it to be recognized.

    ·         Do not wear gloves or mittens since the grips need to come in contact with your fingertips.

    ·         Make sure that you are not placing the figure on the frame around the iPad screen. You must keep the figure only within the active screen area.

  • How do I get started in Apptivity Batman?

    ·         Once downloaded and installed, simply tap the Apptivity Batman Icon to launch the game.

    ·         Allow main menu screen to load

    ·         If you do not have a toy, select Quick Play.  If you have an Apptivity Batman toy, you can access level-based play by pressing the Story Mode tab or non-story-based play by pressing the Quick Play tab.

  • Where is the action button on the Apptivity Batman figures?

    ·         The action button is at the center of the base. Hold the base with your thumb and middle finger, and hit the action button with your index finger.

  • Can I play the game without an Apptivity toy?

    ·         You can, but you will not get the full experience and ease of functionality as when playing with an Apptivity toy.

    ·         To play without the toy, use two fingers to activate your virtual figure. 

    ·         Finger play is only available within Quick Play mode. This mode can be accessed through the Main Menu “Quick Play” Tab. Once selected, follow additional game play screens to access play level.

  • Can I earn other weapons to be used with my Apptivity Batman figure?

    ·         Yes, you can earn credits that can be redeemed for additional weapons, combat gear and weapons upgrades.

    ·         Note that you can only have unlimited ammo for the specific weapon associated with your physical Apptivity Batman figure.

  • Can I play flying levels without The Bat in Apptivity Batman?

    ·         Yes, you can play these with your figure, but are only equipped with one forward facing rocket launcher blast.

  • What is the difference between each of the Apptivity Batman toy figures?

    ·         Each figure has unique features:

    o    Batarang Strike Batman has unlimited Batarangs.

    o    EMP Assault™ Batman has unlimited EMP blasts.

    o    Grapnel Attack® Batman has unlimited grapnel blast projectiles.

    o    Riot Cannon™ Batman has unlimited Riot Cannon projectile blasts.

    o    The Bat has dual front facing rocket launchers.

  • The Apptivity Batman game is frozen.

    ·         Touch the screen with your finger to move forward to the next page.

    ·         If the game keeps freezing, try doing a hard reset.  Click the home button on your iPad to get to the home screen. Then double-click the home button again. The multitasking bar will appear.  Touch the thumbnail of the Apptivity game until it wiggles, and then touch the minus button.  Then click the home button again, and restart the game by clicking the thumbnail for the game on your home screen.

    ·         The game also goes into a pause state if your fingers or the figure and base are removed from the screen.  Place fingers or figure back down where suggested by the base outline to continue play.

  • The Apptivity Batman game keeps crashing.

    ·         From your iPad home screen, go to Settings, General, then Multitasking Gestures. Turn off Multitasking Gestures.

    ·         Make sure that you do not press the figure down on the iPad home button, as that will close the game.

  • What are the best kind of batteries to use in Fisher-Price® and Mattel® products?

    A.    We recommend using alkaline batteries with our products, as they are great for long-term use and help optimize performance. We don't recommend using Carbon-Zinc batteries. While Carbon-Zinc batteries may work well with low-power devices, they can drain after a short period of time and cause certain products to not function properly.
