### 4/5 — Brad’s review

*2023-05-17*

I love this app I just wish it was more accessible for people who have vision loss like me and you were born blind like me because I use a text to speech software called voiceover on my iPhone and whenever I navigate the app, it keeps on saying label label label I wish I could get notifications on what my pet is doing and how is doing I have not gotten any notifications yet. That is my only complaint, although I love the app what are the evolution stages your patch will go through and how many are there and also like a Tamagotchi can your pets mate and have babies and reproduce?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work right

*2019-05-04*

Doesn’t get steps right or even close like thousands off. Never the same amount of steps required per day. I can’t figure out how it figures it. It could be addicting but the big differences in the steps and the nothingness make this a delete for me. I kept it for awhile to see if something changed, but no.

### 3/5 — Good apple watch game

*2019-03-26*

I like it but I wish u could do more on the app

### 1/5 — I would like to play

*2017-06-10*

I downloaded it but every time I go in the app it crashes and wouldn't let me in

### 5/5 — Simple but fun

*2017-01-05*

Not alot to it, but it is addicting. Since the update, I just want to know to add a friend if you dont facebook

### 5/5 — Lots more fun than counting steps

*2016-12-18*

This app is amazing! I never got into fitness apps, but this is fun and doesn't feel like one. HealthMon rewards you not only for the walking you already do during the day, but also for feeding and playing with a cute little fox. It increases in difficulty, but at a manageable rate, and lets you compare with your friends for some extra motivation. I've really been enjoying it!

### 5/5 — Vibrant and Unique take on a fitness app

*2016-12-17*

This app is a really cool take on a fitness app! Visually its gorgeous and really colorful. It really motivates me to exercise because I don't want my little fox guy to die. 
You can also link it to a Fitbit which is really convenient, but it also works standalone. If you want to add a little more fun to your workouts, download this app.

### 5/5 — Love my pet!

*2016-12-16*

This is a wonderful idea. I love that I get to see how healthy I am by looking at a pet rather than just only numbers. This makes me want to get the Apple Watch-- it's just so cute. Very cute graphics. Thanks for making this!

### 5/5 — Tamagotchi 2.0

*2016-12-15, version 1.2*

Found this app when I searched for an entertaining way to keep me motivated to walk every day. I work on the computer and time flies sometimes - this app makes me want to get up and walk around so the baby fox doesn't look sad or die. My favorite feature is that I can follow my friends and see their status which keeps me even more motivated! It's a new twist on the old Tamagotchi.

### 5/5 — Great idea and great app 👍👍👍

*2016-12-12*

This is such a great idea!!! I love the idea of walking to keep the pet alive. I've been going the extra step 😂everyday to make sure I keep my pet happy 😊
