Magic Ball
The fortune-telling toy, rebuilt for Apple devices and given a voice. Ask your question, tap or shake, and the ball answers — spoken aloud in the voices your device already has.
What it does
-
01
Ask and tap, or shake
Tap the screen or shake the device. Long-press or use the gear for settings.

Answers with attitude
Every classic reply, plus a wider set written with more personality than the toy ever had.
-
03
Nineteen languages
The interface and the fortunes are localised in nineteen languages, read aloud with the voices available on your device.
-
04
A daily quote
Over a thousand hand-picked quotations, one at a time, separate from the fortunes.
-
05
On your wrist
A standalone Apple Watch app and an hourly complication, so an answer is one glance away.

Tapping Recommend another app asks iOS to present Apple’s own App Store card. Apple fetches and renders it; the app itself sends and receives nothing.
Entertainment only
The app is a toy. It answers by choosing at random from phrases written by hand, exactly as a physical fortune-telling ball floats one of its faces into a window. It has no knowledge of you, your question or the future, and it cannot hear you. Nothing it says is advice — not medical, legal, financial or any other kind. If a question is important enough to ask a toy, it is important enough to ask someone qualified to answer it.
An independent app
Not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by Mattel, Inc., or any maker of a physical fortune-telling toy. Every prediction, image and sound in the app was written or made for it.
