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.
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 or Facebook friends who can be invited. Gifts are collected in the Inbox tab accessed from the same screen.
When viewing friends, 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.
For those under 13 the game automatically provides eight friends: Princess Celestia (level 50), Princess Cadence (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.
