    Mike, you have the voice of a Game Show host or something, it’s awesome! And Gennelle, you’ll totally get to voice something by Ganz soon, they should have chosen you when you auditioned! Hahah. I love listening to the podcasts, I just play in the Kinzville park and listen to all you have to say. I’ve noticed that a lot of games and apps are mainly on Apple products, not Android or other things. I have a Kindle Fire. Is it harder, or does it cost more to release games and apps on other devices?

    • Matt_Webkinzfriends says:

      Hey Webkinz_Love! Porting and developing for mobile is tricky business. Lots of people prefer to start with iOS (Apple) simply because it’s generally the same across all the generation of devices. With Android, there are many different versions and types of phones, which means something that might work on one, might not necessarily look/work the same way on another. Either way, it will still cost money, yes. :)

    I am wondering if there will ever be in between episodes? Like just a 2 minute episode reaction to some of the new stuff that came out.

  6. Gennelle_Webkinz says:

    Here’s a question about best friends…how did everyone meet theirs? I met my best friend Nick in kindergarten when we were playing with clay, and we’re still BFFs today!

    You are right – Podkinz rocks! I love hearing your enthusiasm for your work. Thanks so much for letting us hear from the real people behind all of the great work that goes into Webkinz. And thanks too for sharing how Michael B created the awesome showman snowman and that lots of practice and his schooling helped him achieve his success. Great to know. Thanks again Mike and Gennelle – Keep up the great work!

    Hi Matt I saw that your name included webkinz friends! Is the webkinz friends app and mobile app available on kindle fire HD?

  9. dogfancy68 says:

    do you play on the webkinz website, or do you just create the webkinz and not adopt them online and stuff

    • Gennelle_Webkinz says:

      We absolutely play on Webkinz! We’re part of the team that creates and writes all the events and features you see, and we love logging on and playing in Webkinz World when they go live. My favorite pet to play with is my Signature Fox. Plus, we hang out in the Kinzville Park sometimes… watch for a Ganz team member wearing a ‘Ganz’ toque!
