### 5/5 — Wow

De todo

### 4/5 — awesome But..

*2025-03-14, version 1.91*

I really enjoyed this game because I recently made my own cardboard vr and I can use this app as a horror game. The only things that I think should change are the spiders being able to be seen through objects. I also think you should add a hunt option we’re the spider chases you instead of you having to tap the screen so it will follow, move, or attack you. Other than that, this game is awesome, and my money is definitely well spent.❤️❤️❤️

### 3/5 — Cool app to play with

Absolutely beautiful AR app where you can have Spiders as pocket pets in your phone very fun and cool that you can interact with them and have fun very interesting fun to learn about spiders and a great way to conquer your fear our 8 legged friend I highly recommend this app sincerely Captain Richard

### 5/5 — Cute(ish!)

*2024-05-13, version 1.91*

A great app that puts a spider on any flat surface, you can change the spider size & there are 5 different spiders to choose from. Once you have your spider in place you can then film it moving around and use different screen taps/ swipes to change its behaviour (tap the❓icon top left before you start filming & it tells you exactly what to do). The filming filters are great and the movements surprisingly realistic.
