Friends

Friends are an important aspect of gameplay. They are other people who also play the game, and they can be presented with a gift once every 24 hours, and they can be given a treasure chest once every 24 hours.

Add friends through Gameloft Live, Facebook and now Google Plus.

Friends are accessed via the Menu Scroll, under the "Social" button. When "Social" is tapped, a new screen appears showing the player all of his or her friends, as well as other Gameloft, Facebook or Google+ friends who can be invited. Gifts are collected in the Inbox tab accessed from the same screen.

• Please note: Friends will be listed by their in-game name, not their code number. If you prefer to send treasure chests with others in an even exchange, be sure to provide your in-game name along with your code. There is no way to confirm who has sent you a treasure chest, however.

When viewing friends, the first one will always be Princess Celestia, then the order will be higher to lower level. Players have the option to gift individual friends by tapping on them and selecting the present icon, or to visit them to leave a present by tapping on the pony house icon. If the player is pressed for time, he or she may select the "Gift All" option to send a gift to all friends.

Friends list for under-13 players

For those under 13 the game automatically provides eight friends: Princess Celestia (level 50), Princess Cadance (level 40), Spike (level 30), Rainbow Dash (level 2), Pinkie Pie (level 20), Applejack (level 50), Fluttershy (level 30), and Rarity (level 30). They all have towns that can be visited, but the state of their towns does not match their reported level. Princess Cadance, Spike and Rainbow Dash's town layouts are the same. The social icon is colored pink and has only one horseshoe rather than two.

In Windows 8, there is only Facebook option.

Directory of Friends

A new directory has been created to allow players to add their MLP codes to a list. In addition to codes, players provide their in-game Pony Name (ID) and answer sinple questions about gifting and dancing. By joining the directory, players will increase their chances of making new friends, thus earning more hearts from social activities. Submitting your answers on the form will automatically populate the directory list (spreadsheet). For those players who are seeking new friends to invite, the directory makes the list of codes easier to find, instead of having to scroll through pages of comments below.

Add your game information to the directory using this Google form:

• Directory Form: Join the MLP Directory of Friend Codes!

Use the directory to locate codes to invite new friends to your MLP social list.

• Directory List: My Little Pony App Friend Codes

You can use the Sort button to sort the list by newest first, platform used, code number or pony name to find people more easily. Please note that now most players can add friends from other platforms. You will be able to send them gifts and dance with them, but you may or may not be able to visit their towns and leave them treasure chests.
