I’m not buying Internet purchases. But it’s too much money for me and I’m gonna pay it for myself ### 1/5 — This is stupid *2025-04-18, version 1.1* I saw this game and thought it would be great, but then all of the sudden I have to buy features in the game?! That’s not even the worst part, I’m guessing this dumb and pricey toy, is super expensive, and hence another item added to what I already have to buy, but then again, I don’t know because there’s no way to find this stupid box. I do not recommend this game, it is a waste of time and a money stealer. Plus it’s a massive ripoff. I hope that maybe the developers can change this game. ### 5/5 — Dr.Panda is great *2024-04-23, version 1.1* We love Dr. Panda ### 2/5 — Dr panda town *2023-12-05, version 1.1* I recemend not getting because you have to have a book ### 5/5 — I love it! *2023-07-09, version 1.1* I like how you can use your creativity. It’s super fun! At first I wrote the review “I don’t know how to get the 📦” but now that I got it I love ❤️ the app. It’s so cool 😎! ### 5/5 — 2-4 *2023-06-16, version 1.1* 9 ### 1/5 — I can not get the box *2023-05-08, version 1.1* My mom thinks it’s in Apple Store but no! So it just gives you the website for the box that you need to pay it with payment (btw I’m doing it) and it’s probably expensive it’s like from 40 or 50 bucks to get it And pls make it cheaper 2nd it says I need a QR code (which is from the box) ppl got confused like is it inside or not? 3rd you can not do some random markers cuz it confuses ppl why is not working? 4th ppl who don’t know to spell is kinda confusing like rd.pandr 5th y I gave it a 1 star cuz ppl need the box and they don’t know how to get it like pls add only available in target or Walmart so they can get espy ### 1/5 — Um can I have the 📦❓ *2023-04-08, version 1.1* Okay so I need the box PLEASE SEND IT TO ME PLEASE PLEASE JUST SEND IT TO THEIR DOOOOOOOOOOR ### 1/5 — No *2023-03-12, version 1.1* Made me watch a video and u have to scan some code and buy something or else you won’t be able to play the game 🙄 ### 1/5 — Why!? *2023-01-13, version 1.1* So I downloaded it and you have to scan it it is so annoying and then I deleted it and I didn’t even get to play it ughh worst game ever😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤 ## Frequently asked questions about Dr. Panda Plus ### What does Dr. Panda Plus: Home Designer do?
