Have you ever had issues playing Animal Jam? Does your internet browser ever crash or constantly ask you for flash updates in order to play? Or do you ever just wish you could play Animal Jam on a bigger screen? Well if you answered yes to any of those questions then you’re in luck!!
AJHQ recently released a desktop app for Animal Jam. That’s right, you can download the Animal Jam computer program and play directly from your desktop. No more having to use internet explorer, firefox, chrome, or any other browser! You can play the app on both PC and Mac without using an internet browser.
At the time of writing this, the Animal Jam desktop app is still in beta but so far it seems pretty great! The only issue I’ve noticed so far is that when you make the screen bigger some of the images get a bit blurry. But I think that’s something they will fix over time. Everything else like logging in and overall gameplay seems great!
