Why is the ‘winter scene’ item not how it looks in the store?
Cute premise, but doesn’t quite deliver.
I would have given this game 3 stars, but I also wasn’t a fan of the fact that you seem to only get paw points if you walk at least a mile on a given day. That means you can really only play this game on days where you are exercising over a sufficient distance for the game to reward you. I have been walking a dog while I had this game installed, but our walks never quite seem to cover a mile according to my phone, so I have not been able to buy anything from the in-game store.
So I give this game points for effort and cuteness, but I think the gameplay needs some improvements to make it a decent, rewarding way to gamify walking.
Response from developer
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to deliver a review, and providing candid critique. I am sorry you have not had a positive experience with the app and its features - your thorough feedback will ensure significant improvement in its next update. The premise of coin award quantities was based on daily goal of 10,000 steps (with a minimum of 1,000 steps) and will be reconsidered per your feedback, as will the impact of possible variations in step data. While cat care is an intrinsic element of the app, planned updates to interactions and gameification will hopefully lighten the obligation and enhance the enjoyment of using the app. While this original concept was very minimal, I hope to transform this into an app you can enjoy. I hope once these updates arrive you will see the positive impact of your review in action. :)
