This version was my daily game for the last 7 years. I bought extras in the game too. Now they’re forcing us to buy a whole new game for $24 within a short deadline if we wanna keep our previous stuff. 1 star for the nonsense. 5 stars for the game itself. ### 1/5 — Sad *2025-05-25, version 6.0.1* Take it off the App Store:( ### 1/5 — Jordan *2025-05-23, version 6.0.1* Dont get it ### 1/5 — Why do they still have it up!?!? *2025-05-17, version 6.0.1* Why do they even still have it to download if you can’t even use it!?!!? ### 1/5 — I used to love it so much *2025-05-17, version 6.0.1* I used to love playing this game until it sales us to pay $20 !!!!

I thought the paid version would be like $5, but $20 is crazy. I’m shocked and saddened by this. ### 5/5 — AHHHhHHhH😍 *2025-05-23, version 6.0.1* This game is SO adorable! I’ve loved all things Nintendo for so long, and when I found out about this game, I decided to download it!

Thank you for the memories pocket camp…. ### 5/5 — I got the paid version *2025-05-19, version 6.0.1* It cost £17.99 and I play this when I was little. Thanks for letting me know! (anyways the free version was gone. 02-06-25 will transfer data will be gone forever!) ### 5/5 — •.• *2025-05-17, version 6.0.1* I’m sad that u have to now pay for the complete version because I loved this game since 2021 I played it with my sister before I played the new horizons game. A bit before November I heard on a podcast that it would be shutting down and it would be having no more updates, which was fine because there was so much content in this game.BUT I wasn’t aware that you would have to pay for the new version 😭😭. I might get it again for the content and nostalgia but I don’t wanna be paying for it so much money for just a mobile game like what! ### 5/5 — Aw snap! *2025-05-16, version 6.0.1* I can still play the game on my Nintendo switch but like they deleted it on Thanksgiving Day so I’m reeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy shocked 😮 it’s like Skunk in The Easter Bunny’s Assistant when he says “it’s so…so…pleasent and EXITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” tomorrow is my big day at school I’m doing field day in the morning ⚽️ it’s already been past my school field trip my friends and I saw a play and it took about 15 minutes to start well I’m almost a first grader so I’m only in kindergarten so it’s the a hundred and somethingth day of school.
