Very good

I have autism and ocd and have always struggled to find mediations that works for me but these always work without fail plus I love that damn cat 😅

Helps a lot

I suffer from stress, depression, and I get angry easily. This app helps with all three of those things. Here are 3 reasons this app is deserving of 5 stars ⭐️✨. 1. It is so fun to play with and take care of Amaru!! 2. This app requires absolutely no internet, so it can be played in all places at all times. 3. It has no ads at all, so you can have fun with Amaru uninterrupted. This app was so worth it. Also pls put me on top so everyone can see this

Otherwise focus

Still new, but chose to manage self care tasks of Amaru rather than reacting in a bout of anger. thank you for helping toward a balanced use of language.
