### 5/5 — .•*•.CRYPTIDHUNTER.•*•.

*2026-10-01*

Yo I love This game Im in love with the new update too :3 >:D

### 3/5 — Confusing

*2026-09-25*

Well, apparently it’s not on your screen and it’s kind of confusing. I don’t know how to add it to screen I need better instructions. not the hate or anything

**Developer response:** Totally fair, thanks for saying it! The new update shows you step by step: go to Profile and tap the widget banner. Still stuck? Write us from Profile > Feedback and I'll help :)

### 5/5 — BEST VIRTUAL PET GAME EVER (read this before you get the app)

*2026-09-03*

I've played a lot of virtual pet games but this one is one of the best ones. It has no ads (but most of the other ones also don't     have ads), it has cute pets, I have a golden retriever irl and I have one in this game, and it also has cute app icons. One thing I wish they could add was more updates. I think it could make the game better.

**Developer response:** Thank you! You asked for updates, so here's a big one: 4.0 brings mini-games, focus quests, new scenes, hats and furniture 🥑 Hope your golden retriever loves it!

### 5/5 — 這遊戲很棒

*2026-07-02*

這個遊戲完全就是我想像中的，但是呢他餵飽了還有沒有需要玩的時候呢？我就會覺得很無聊，希望可以讓讓我在他餵飽或是他已經不需要玩樂的時候也可以一起玩。

**Developer response:** 謝謝你的好評！好消息：在 Boko 4.0 裡，就算寵物已經吃飽或玩夠了，你還是可以隨時陪牠玩，還多了好幾個新的小遊戲。希望你會喜歡，有任何想法都歡迎在 App 的「個人檔案 > 意見回饋」告訴我們！

### 4/5 — Where did my pets go?

*2026-05-27*

The only trouble I had was when I first started playing the game it would delete all my pets. But otherwise I absolutely love the app, especially since I can create my cat who died.

**Developer response:** Hey - first off, I'm really sorry your pets disappeared when you first started. That's about the worst thing that can happen in a pet app, and it was a bug on my end, not anything you did. I hunted it down (a sync issue that could overwrite freshly-made pets on the first launch) and it's fixed in the next update - they'll stay put for good now.

And the bit about recreating your cat who passed - that genuinely got me. That's the exact reason I built Boko. Thank you for giving it a chance even after the rough start. 💛

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-03-20*

Love this app I love how accessible it is to the blind Visually, impaired clear button, labels and clear labels for screen reader users to read, I love the fact that notifications escalate based on your cats needs The only thing I would suggest you don’t do is for the scheduled morning and evening rituals I would recommend you not allow a feature to where you can change the wake and bedtime that way like because if you do, I will constantly be trying to find good times and I want them at the same times they are now and I don’t want those settings to be changed
