6) Q: My device does not have a rear facing camera (camera used to take pictures of others), will it work with any of the Popar apps?

A: No, your device will not work with any Popar apps as they all require a rear facing camera.

7) Q: When I start the app and get into the Augmented Reality (AR) experience, my screen is black. What do I do?

A: Make sure you select “Allow” when there is a prompt to access your smart devices camera. If you did not select “Allow,” completely shut down the Popar app and all other apps you have running in the background, go into your phone settings, and make sure to select “Allow” on your camera settings for that specific Popar app, then restart the Popar app you would like to use.

8) Q: The app continues to crash, what do I do?

A: Popar apps take a lot of your devices energy to run properly. When there are a lot of other apps open that are running in the background, it has a tendency to slow down your device similar to that of a computer that has a lot of programs open at the same time. Please shut down all the apps you have running completely (not just going back to the home screen), and then restart the Popar app and follow the on screen tutorials.

9) Q: Do I need the internet to use a Popar app?

A: You only need the internet for the initial download of any Popar app that is over 50 MB (any app download over 50 MB requires the internet to download). After the Popar app is downloaded, you no longer need the internet.

10) Q: I can’t seem to find the serial key for my Popar smart product. Where do I look?

A: Each Popar smart book will have the serial key on the inside of the front cover on the copyright page. Each Popar smart puzzle will have the serial key on the inside of the top of the smart puzzle box. Each Popar smart chart and smart mat will have the serial key on the backside of the smart chart. If for some reason you still cannot locate the serial key, please contact support@popartoys.com and make sure you have a proof or purchase.

11) Q: How come Popar apps do not work on my Apple iTouch?

A: Popar apps do not work on Apple iTouch because of the hardware restriction of only having 256 MB of ram, when at a bare minimum 512 MB are required to run a Popar app. Popar apps work on Apple iPhone 6 and up, with Apple iPad Air and up, running iOS 11 or higher.

12) Q: Do Popar smart products work with the Kindle or the Nook?

A: They currently do not work with either the Kindle or the Nook. The Nook does not have a rear facing camera and the Kindle has the Amazon store instead of Google Play where the Popar apps are housed for Android users. Popar plans to develop for the Amazon store in the near future.

14) Q: Do Popar smart products work with the Leap Frog or VTech tablets?

A: No, Popar apps do not work with Leap Frog or VTech tablets.

15) Q: How come when I am in Virtual Reality (VR) mode and I move my device, the virtual scene on my device does not move like it says it’s supposed to?

A: This is because you do not have an gyroscope/accelerometer inside your device that is required for this function to work, or you have engaged the joystick which will turn off the functionality of your gyroscope/accelerometer. There is a joystick that is at the bottom left of your screen that can be used as a substitute if your device does not have an gyroscope/accelerometer, or you just do not feel like moving your device around.

16) Q: Why can I not see the entire Augmented Reality (AR) animation in my Popar smart book?

A: The reason is probably because you are too close to the smart product with your device. If you back away from the smart product a little bit, it will become more immersive and you will be able to see the entire 4D animation. The Augmented Reality (AR) tracking if fairly robust so you can move away and around the smart product to get a better look at different angles.

17) Q: Will the “Popar Interactive Puzzle” app work if I do not complete my puzzle all the way?

A: Yes it may work if enough of the smart puzzle is built, but we highly suggest that you build the entire smart puzzle so the product can work as effectively as it was designed.

18) Q: What is the “Popar Viewer” app?

A: The “Popar Viewer” app is merely a demo app that will work with a Popar catalog, or your can even create your own Augmented Reality (AR) tracker.

19) Q: Can more than one person use a Popar smart product at a time?

A: Yes they can. As long as each user has a serial key to enter into the app, multiple users can be using a Popar smart product simultaneously.

20) Q: Are Popar smart products in other languages besides English?

A: Yes, some Popar smart products have been converted into other languages. You can simply choose a different language by tapping the “Languages” button, and then select the language you wish the app to be displayed in. If the language you desire is not there, we apologize as we are working as hard as we can to get as many languages as we can into each smart product.
