With December 2020 approaching, we wanted to give you an update to the future of Webkinz. Back in May 2019, we released the Webkinz Desktop App, and later in the year we released the Mac version. These versions did still use the Flash Player, just without a browser.
We are pleased to announce that we will soon be releasing a NEW Desktop App that no longer uses Flash Player at all. This version will allow you to play Webkinz for years to come!
And there is no need to wait. By downloading and installing the current Desktop App, you will automatically be upgraded to the new version as soon as it is ready.
We at Ganz are very proud of Webkinz and have no intention of a little thing like Flash getting in the way of your fun! We will continue to support Webkinz with new items, new pets and all of your favorite events.
Download the Desktop Application now, and have fun in Webkinz World!
Is the mobile app getting an upgrade as well and are you going to make the mobile app fully functioning as well?
Don’t know if any WW programmers or powers-that-be haunt these Comments sections or not, but wondering about the Trophies and Badges. All the ones that WW players earn all have the notation “(Web Only)”, which I assume to mean via web browser. Will they be going away, or will they be adjusted somehow to still be accessible/obtainable in the up-and-coming/updated Desktop version? Ah! One more thing. No idea if it’s just too much trouble, or if it’s actually not possible, but could it be looked into to have it open up into it’s own game window with the ability to minimize and maximize as opposed to just automatically taking up the whole screen. It makes it very inconvenient having to get out a pen and paper to take down the codes from the podkinz giveaways and community challenges since it’s very awkward having to toggle between the screens, whereas if the Desktop version had it’s own window, it’d be much more the thing to be able to just switch back and forth between the screens.
Will we be able to do things in the app that right now are only available online?
The desktop app is exactly as the WW browser game :)
desktop needs to be able to watch ads for kinzcash
I am sooooo happy to hear this news! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
I like how the picture makes it look like Alyssa has teamed up with Amanda, Sophie, PJ, and Arte for an epic face-off against Nafaria with her loyal subjects Ms. Cowoline, Tabby von Meow, Ms. Birdy, and Quizzy. The battle of Desktop vs. Mobile. It will be legendary.
Oh good, a new app. I hope it won’t contain the delay from command to action that the current app does, which makes certain games and Academy classes all but impossible! Is that a major priority to fix?
Will it be possible for Webkinz to have a version for chrome software? My only computer runs on chrome. I do have the mobile app, but it doesn’t have all of the features.
Will Flash items purchased at the Estore work in our Desk Top accounts in January 2021 without Flash? I already have trouble with The Picture Perfect Photo Booth curtain doesn’t close or the camera flash and all three of my Origami Waterwheel disappear from the room if you click on it. There are sooooo many Flash items within Webkinz.
hello, i dont have anything to get the desk top app on and the mobile app just isn’t the same as the online, so ganz, what should i do, i dont wanna quit webkinz! do you have any shuggestions? also did a spell that right?
