### 4/5 — Do your dogs die

*2025-03-11, version 1.9.2*

Do the dogs die of old age or do you got to free them when there a adult😑

### 4/5 — Meh

*2024-12-26, version 1.9.2*

This is a good game to play but can get a little boring some times I even have it on my Nintendo switch and it’s still is boring but it’s a good game

### 4/5 — Nice

*2024-10-04, version 1.9.2*

Nice

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-05-02, version 1.9.1*

It’s good not good like the cat game but still good

### 5/5 — So cute 💕

*2024-04-26, version 1.9.1*

I like how nostalgic this game is. It reminds me of back when pet games weren’t so complicated. Today there’s a zillion minigames and ads ons on pet games. I like this game because it’s just so chill and simple. It’s really underrated and I just love it 💕

GET THIS GAME

### 5/5 — Super duper

*2024-02-04, version 1.9.0*

Es muy bn pero se tarda mucho en recargar energía

### 5/5 — Kids will love this game so much

*2024-01-06, version 1.8.2*

This is the best way to learn how to take care of your pets, especially when they have been sick for a couple days or more, so you should definitely download this game, it’s free too and it’s a no Wi-Fi game!!!

### 5/5 — LIV THIS GAME

*2023-12-26, version 1.8.2*

This game is so amazing! My first dog was a husky named Slush and he is so cute. This reminds me of the tamagotchis in the 90s and this is technically my childhood game.

### 5/5 — Мне нравится

*2023-12-10, version 1.8.2*

Мне не нравится то что когда вот например я просто лечу питомца Он лечится но Когда я его Перри лечу ну слишком сильно тогда у меня будут пропадать очки за игру А как бы как бы набирать очки с игры очень сложно

### 4/5 — Esta todo muy bueno

*2023-11-21, version 1.8.2*

Esta todo muy bueno, me encanta este tamagotchi y también te avisan cuando tu perrito quiere comer o quiere que le limpien, este juego si es un tamagotchi porque tienes diferentes perritos mas bonitos, yo le pongo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — ✨✨✨✨✨

*2023-10-02, version 1.8.2*

It is SOO cool I love and i really recommend you geting this app

### 4/5 — Нормально

*2023-09-11, version 1.8.2*

Прикольная игра милые персонажи но мини-игры часто надоедают и повторяются

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2023-09-07, version 1.8.2*

Se párese mucho a un tamagochi 
10/10 lo recomiendo 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Super jeux

*2023-07-06*

Ce jeu rappelle vraiment les Tamagotchi d’autrefois.

### 5/5 — Just like the OG Tamagotchi!

*2023-07-02, version 1.8.2*

I LOVE this game—so nostalgic, just like my old Nano Pet and Tamagotchi from 1997. I really like the games that open up as the pet gets older too, much better games than the original virtual pets (more interactive and fun for the user). 👾🤍

### 4/5 — 4 star

*2023-06-27, version 1.8.2*

This game is pretty entertaining and cute. But wish there were instructions on how to play the game cus I’m really confused and didn’t own a tamagotchi when I was younger so kinda annoying.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2024-01-27, version 1.9.0*

It WAS a fun game, until recently. Now the ads pop up literally every 30 seconds. You spend more time waiting for the ads to end then actually playing the game.

### 1/5 — I can’t rlly press anything

*2021-12-31, version 1.8.2*

Can u please fix the controls, I would be happy

### 1/5 — Please change this app

*2021-10-24, version 1.8.2*

Please change this app because people have lives. I have been very upset all weekend because my grandma passed away on Friday and I forgot to take care of my dog named Jeff on this app and the app said he died. I didn’t even know that dogs could die which made me very angry because you did not mention anything about that happening, so I would appreciate if you changed the app. Thank you!

### 1/5 — :(

*2021-05-21, version 1.8.1*

My dog died cuz I haven’t checked on him in a few days I’m crying rn and also to many ads 1 star

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2021-03-13, version 1.8*

Its like the original! But after 2 min deleted it because the ads. Too many, its a shame.

### 1/5 — Noooooooo!!!!!

*2020-02-23, version 1.4*

My dog died!I hate this game!

### 2/5 — Won’t load

*2025-09-07, version 1.9.2*

I got this app along with Catgotchi. Catgotchi works fine but Dogotchi won’t download on my iPad mini 4. I’ve checked my storage and have enough space, says it’s compatible with my iPad, but won’t load!!     (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾

### 2/5 — Good, but gets stale too quickly

*2020-09-30, version 1.7*

I enjoy the retro feel, very much so. However, the mini games are extremely limited, and having to replay them over and over and over just to keep your pet’s fun meter high drains the fun out of it all. It gets repetitive too quickly, sadly. I picked it up for about 5 days and then gave up on it entirely...

### 2/5 — I need to sleep☹️

*2019-05-24, version 1.4*

I played the game and I thought it was fun, until I went to sleep and woke up the next day to find my pet had left. So I started again. SAME THING! The game idea is fun, but makes it hard to do other things.

### 3/5 — Ностальгия ли?

*2022-04-06, version 1.8.2*

Автору конечно спасибо за труд. Но все совсем просто: из активностей пет шевелит только головой или хвостом, даже не ходит; растёт до взрослого состояния (дальнейший рост невозможен) за трое суток. Всего лишь три этапа взросления: Child - Teenager - Adult. В общем вот и все приложение.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-06-27, version 1.9.1*

For my birthday or for Christmas I’m gonna be getting a Tamagotchi UNI and I am super excited to get it so I thought maybe it’ll help my birthday become sooner because my birthday is like in October so it’s pretty far away I can’t wait to get my Tamagotchi UNI and I’ve been so impatient that I needed a game to get my mind off it so I want to be like when is my birthday coming? When is my birthday coming up because soon I just sit around and do nothing and then I start doing it day after day after day and I just can’t do that. Thank you for creating this game the Tamagotchi community really appreciate it, my friend Daphne has a Tamagotchi pix, but she doesn’t have a battery and I really want to play on it because my friend Daphne is tired of it
