### 4/5 — Can’t play with friends

*2023-12-30, version 2.4.1*

Fun game, but can’t play online with friends.

### 5/5 — Seriously addicting even for a dog lover!!

*2022-06-23*

My friend got this card game while here on vacation and we played every day until she left. We went out and bought the game the same day and the expansion pack! It’s seriously addicting. Once you learn to play it goes pretty quickly or as slow as you want it to! Such a great game and could be enjoyable for children as well!

### 5/5 — We loved it

*2022-04-14, version 2.4.1*

It is so fun to play it’s hard to stop playing

### 5/5 — Love Love Love

*2022-03-10, version 2.4.1*

Our kids and friends love to play with us.

### 5/5 — App is as good as the board game!

*2022-03-04*

I love this board game but don’t have many people who will play with me. I wish there was a solo mode but as there is not, this app is a great option! Please add the expansion :)

### 5/5 — Love it so much!

*2022-03-01, version 2.4.1*

Love it so much!

### 5/5 — Such a fun and cute game!

*2022-01-30, version 2.4.1*

I have the card game also and both are very fun to play with friends and family! Cute drawings and easy rules to follow.

### 5/5 — Faithful to the Physical Card Game

*2021-11-28*

I really enjoy the physical card game and this is an excellent implementation. The AI is well balanced IMO and it’s a fast easy game to play while waiting for things. There’s even pass and play!

### 3/5 — Meeehh

*2021-09-23*

No multiplayer
No addons
Wat … …. maannn??(((

### 5/5 — Race for the Galaxy and this

*2021-07-16*

I love Race for the Galaxy, but my wife will not play with me. This game is cute and with the achievements, you can play competitively and still let your wife win so she’s happy. Beautiful game. Would love to see more features like guard dogs and chasing coyotes.

### 5/5 — Fun and easy to learn

*2021-06-10, version 2.3.2*

Very cute !

### 4/5 — Cant play online with others

*2021-04-26*

My family loves this game and to find the app was such an awesome find. The graphics are amazing and it is really reminiscent of the actual game. The only downer is I wish you could play this online with other people. That is quite a disappointment as you can only play against the computer or someone if they’re sitting right next to you. If someone is by me I’m going to play the real game, so it was a disappointment to not be able to play online as that was the main reason I downloaded this.

### 5/5 — So fun and fast!

*2021-04-18*

We have the tabletop version of Cat Lady and have always enjoyed it. I’ve been playing this digital version for about a year and it’s so good! Super fast and satisfying, I can get several games in during on session of playtime. Love it!

### 4/5 — Please add online challenge

*2021-03-12, version 2.3.2*

Please add online challenge so I can play with my friends online,that would be great 

Otherwise this app is great

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2021-01-16*

Just right to fill in a few mins. Love the cats :)

### 5/5 — This game is great

*2021-01-03*

I’m turning into a cat lady! Good card game with multiple ways to accumulate points

### 4/5 — Cute implementation, wish it had online multiplayer

*2020-12-22, version 2.3.2*

Great game, I have the physical game too.  Nice quick play, well done.  Wish I could play asynchronous with others.  In Covid times, in person pass and play is hard.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-10-25*

I own the card game and really enjoyed this great implementation with the app as well.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Glitch in scoring board view

*2021-08-10*

The score comparison top view hides because of iPhone black zone.

### 1/5 — Cant access

*2020-09-27, version 2.3.2*

Cant access challenge mode or pass/play mode

### 1/5 — Can’t feed cats

*2019-12-14, version 2.0.1*

Since the Christmas update I can no longer feed the cats. All I can do is collect the cards

### 1/5 — Gros bug après la dernière mise à jour

*2019-10-18, version 1.6.0*

Gros bug et ralentissement après la dernière mise à jour

### 1/5 — Requires Facebook login

*2018-12-28, version 1.4*

Requires Facebook to access challenges, which is why I purchased this. I was also considering buying the board game for a friend. Uninstalled for blatant monetization of privacy violations. Devrloper, let me know when you come to your senses and fix your app. I wish I could get a refund.

### 1/5 — Looks awesome, sadly unplayable

*2018-12-25*

This one looks really great and nicely done. I played this as a real game and it's a fun one. Sadly the app is not programmed well. There are several corners off the app, where you can "get stuck" because you can exit. That way sadly unplayable.

### 1/5 — Connect with Facebook?

*2018-12-05, version 1.3*

I’m very displeased that I can’t play half the game because I don’t sign in with Facebook. What a stupid decision. I won’t buy from this developer again. It’s a shame, because the game itself is great.

### 2/5 — Why Facebook???

*2019-04-03*

I love this game and wanted to play it with others online.  The mobile version is great, but it requires Facebook in order to play with other people.  I do not have Facebook and don’t plan on getting it, so I’m locked out of this feature and have to play with AI. After paying for the game I am really bummed to find that out and that there are no other options for playing with others.

### 2/5 — Great game but challenge mode is awful

*2019-01-31*

Love the game, it's fun and well done.  However,  am extremely annoyed that you require a Facebook account for challenge mode.  I don't want to have to get a social media account for competitive play.  Why not enable Game Center integration?  It would be far better.

### 3/5 — Expansions are missing

*2023-12-20*

When will the developer add the expansions to the game?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Super cute

*2025-10-25*

Fix one little thing….  At the end of each game, it forces you to go through the little living room, full of achievements. I like that it has achievements, that can be fun; however, it’s almost as bad as an ad when you have to sit through it every time.

### 5/5 — Purrfect card came for cat lovers

*2025-03-22*

Adorable card game where you try to be the bestest cat lady you can be. What a gem! Highly recommended!!!

### 5/5 — Love the card game & Love this app!

*2025-02-16*

This app is the perfect way to satisfy your Cat Lady cravings when you can’t play the card game. The app game moves fast and it fun & official! I highly recommended it! Love the music too :)

### 5/5 — Great Family Fun

*2024-12-05*

Easy and fun to play together with the family!

### 5/5 — 고양이들이 잔뜩!!

*2024-09-05*

한글화가 되었으면 좋겠네요 제품판도 한글화 되었는데 ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!❤️❤️

*2024-08-09*

I love this game and I have the the actual game in person and when I heard there was a digital one I bought it right away it’s so easy to play in the car on a plane and eating dinner

### 5/5 — Cat Lady

*2023-10-09*

I really love the IRL card game - this is a fun way to remember the good times with friends. 

A short quick version of Cat Lady

### 5/5 — Customization?

*2023-06-05, version 2.4.1*

My daughter would be bananas if you could change the cat’s names - any chance?

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-11-06*

I love that I can practice this game on my phone so that I’m better at it when playing IRL with friends. Please could you create a “skip” at the end of the game when it’s loading each of the percentages in the achievements. I find that a waste of time.

### 5/5 — Nice game but

*2022-09-22*

I wish there was a way to skip the animation for the achievements. Like a double tap or a skip button. 

I also wish that on the end scoring, if a user taps on the item that the scoring break down for that item is shown.
