    Wow! The prizes are awesome! I feel sad though that there isn’t a version for Chrome. I know many people who are using Chromebooks.

    I love the App! It’s so great having Webkinz on full-screen, and I find it runs really well on my Windows 10. The only thing I miss is muting the tab so I can listen to music or listening to podcasts while playing. I would love to see this become a feature of the App after Flash is discontinued.

      I know if you have windows, you can still mute desktop apps by right clicking on the volume icon in your taskbar and opening “Open volume mixer”

    Hi! I want to add that I just got a new PC to replace my ancient Macbook. The new PC would not let me download the new app until I turned off the default ‘S’ Mode, stating that it was not an approved app. (The new Webkinz was on the approved list btw.) I did turn off the ‘S’ mode in my settings so I could download, but I thought that I should bring this to your attention for the sake of other users. FYI, once I turned off ‘S’ mode I needed to use another security platform to protect from viruses, malware, etc.

      Mabel3! This might be why mine keeps shutting down after I install it. Can you please tell me where this default S Mode setting is and how to turn it off? What security platform did you use to protect from viruses?? Thank you for your help!!!

      • mabel3 says:

        Hi! I went into my settings and searched S mode which allowed me to turn it off. It warned me that I would not be able to turn it back on once I did that. I looked at what it offered and decided to do it anyway. Once I did, it immediately offered me the default McAfee that came with my computer. I prefer that i have more flexibility with what I choose to download onto my computer so that was fine with me. Of course, McAfee isn’t free so that’s a downside to turning off S mode. To compare my experience with yours, I wasn’t able to download at all until I turned S mode off. What happened is that when I clicked on the App download button on the Webkinz homepage on my browser, I got a popup saying that the Webkinz app wasn’t on Microsoft’s approved ‘S mode’ list. I took it from there by doing some reading and making the decision to go ahead. I hope that helps!!

          Thank you for your help!! I appreciate your time! If I continue to have questions, I will reply here. If I turn the S mode off, do I lose McAfee? I just paid for a year. Is this my problem? I’ve been with Webkinz since the very beginning and I’m heartbroken to think I may lose it….along with thousands of others. Thanks!!! Enjoy your day!!

            Mabel3. Thanks to your advice, I contacted McAfee and spent over an hour with an awesome rep!!! The problem was definately on their end, and it is now fixed!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Enjoy your day!!! STAY SAFE!!

    I downloaded it a while ago when it first was announced. I have a Macbook, so I am waiting for the Webkinz Next app to be available for that. I know people are sad that (no fault of Ganz) Adobe removing Flash has messed with our beloved Webkinz game. I thought it was perfect as it was, and I have been playing for 12 years!! I hope Ganz can find some solution for the folks with Chromebooks. At least the Webkinz Classic App can be used on tablets. Ganz is doing so much to try to give us as many options as possible. I am grateful that they value us so much. I’m just so hooked on playing Webkinz Classic on my laptop while I am curled up on my couch or relaxing in bed. I have never grown tired of seeing my pets’ happy little faces and playing all of my favorite games. I am a true blue fan. Thanks, Ganz!

    Too bad all four of us play on the same Mac!

    Darn it! I downloaded it quite a while ago. I wonder if you uninstall and reinstall just once if it counts?

  9. mrgower says:

    Cool prizes! And I love the desktop app. It’s so nice to have a little Webkinz icon on my desktop too haha

    I hope there are enough people to get to the home hearth. I downloaded it as soon as it came out. Hopefully if we don’t reach the 10,000 needed downloads they’ll take into consideration all the loyal WW players that have already done it. I guarantee that if we all had to know there was a challenge to do it later and win those wonderful prizes that we all would have waited :)
