We tried turning the microphone on but It didn’t work. ### 4/5 — Great app, can’t unlock Pup Pup *2023-03-14* My six year old loves looking for Kitty and Pipsqueak, is looking forward to unlocking Diva, and fears Smokey. We adults think it’s a pretty cute app too. Unfortunately, now that the app is nearly three years old, I haven’t been able to unlock the dog character. I submitted my email twice and tried emailing the address mentioned in other reviews, but no luck yet. ### 4/5 — It doesn't meow :/ *2021-06-03* It had my sis close her eyes and I put it under the mat٫ It told her It was done then she called "Kitty!" no answer٫ then she clapped٫ no answer٫ it would be fun if it meowed. Can you please fix that? ### 2/5 — I’m Dumber Than a Cat *2020-07-06* I’m too dumb to figure out how to play this game. I tried it out, walking around calling “kitty” or “nala”. No response. My wife runs in “hey there’s someone outside shouting at us, I’m going to call the police”. “No that was me”. Dirty look. Maybe if I was smart, people would like me. ### 2/5 — Barely working *2020-06-29* It’s only working about half the time, if that, when we try to hide it and use it. Either the phone just sits there and the screen goes black and doesn’t work at all or it’ll work. I’ve tried hiding it in many different spots with the phone face down. My son really wants use it but is a little disappointed with not fully working for us. ### 4/5 — Lots of fun! Some unlocks don’t work. *2020-06-07* I’ve never gotten the email for the dog to unlock, no matter how many times I tried it. The cat that unlocks after playing two separate days also didn’t work. **Developer response:** It was definitely broken last week! Please email me at help@impending.com and I can share the link to unlock Pup Pup. (Less sure what's going wrong with Nala unlock, if you could mention that in the email let's try to figure that one out too.) ### 5/5 — Fun! *2020-05-13, version 1.03* Haha, this such a fun and simple app! My three kids love it! (Ages: 4,2,1) It’s a neat dynamic to watch them realize they have to team up and listen quietly after they call for Kitty! Great app! ### 5/5 — Parfait pour les enfants *2020-05-11, version 1.03* Super simple et inventif. Ça fait disparaître mes enfants de 3 à 8 ans pendant 5 ou 10 minutes et tout le monde est content ! ### 5/5 — “I want to do it all day!” *2020-05-07* My husband needed his phone back and the 3yo said “Nooo! I’m tired of you stopping! I want to do it all day!” 😂 This was after playing it for hours off and on. ### 5/5 — Simple and perfect *2020-05-06* Kids love it ### 5/5 — Amazing Fun w/ our 2yo *2020-05-05* We’ve been hunting the kitty all day. On the quietest setting, it drove the 10yo crazy, but the 2yo running all over the house calling out “here, kitty kitty” is the cutest thing in the world right now next to “do it again! do it again!” when he finds it. ### 5/5 — Génial *2020-05-05, version 1.0* juste parfait! Mon petit de 2 ans court partout en lançant des «Minous Minous ». J’ai pose un petit chat en playmobil sur le tel, ca l’eclate :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fonctionne plus *2020-12-27, version 1.3* Ne fonctionne pas ... ### 1/5 — Not working on iPhone 12 *2020-11-12, version 1.3* Doesn’t work anymore. ### 1/5 — Why is this for kids *2020-06-13* This should not be for kids, such as because your phone can be lost they might not even tell you where your phone is I tried this app and I lost my phone for a week worst app ever! ### 1/5 — One star *2020-05-07, version 1.0* Sorry! But one star cause whenever I put it face down it doesn’t work and I tried shutting off my phone and then back on and It still didn’t work :( But I will try it again soon Sincerely Benjamin Brooks ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad. *2020-05-05* Doesn’t work on iPad. Once game is started, it doesn’t respond. Just plays a quiet tune. **Developer response:** Hey Phil, the game doesn't support iPad right now BUT we are working on that now actually, it should be out by next week. Stay tuned. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-05-04* Enabled mic and turned sound up but doesn’t make any response to “Here Kitty” when hiding **Developer response:** Hey Middleton, can you send us an email at help@impending.com? Let's figure this out and hopefully get it working for you. ### 2/5 — No puedo desbloquear al perrito *2025-12-12, version 1.3* No puedo ### 2/5 — Not fun *2025-06-04* U have to pay a lot of money every week it is sooooo annoying but it is fun when u don’t have to pay so please make it less expensive like 5 dollars each year ### 2/5 — Microphone autorisation doesn’t work *2022-04-16, version 1.3* The app ask for microphone control but I can’t enable it ### 2/5 — Geht nicht *2020-07-07, version 1.3* Nette Idee. Das Spiel funktioniert nur leider nicht. Ich verstecke das Handy und rufe aber Miezi sagt keinen Ton. Schade. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Искренняя благодарность *2026-03-30* Два ребенка играли в эту волшебную игру. Она дала такие ценные минуты контакта родителя и ребенка в те моменты, когда у родителя нет сил на активные игры. Всем родителям малышей рекомендую это волшебную игру. Спасибо, уважаемые создатели! ### 5/5 — So cool and cute *2024-01-08, version 1.3* Best game ever because it is fun for the kids and the whole family. ### 5/5 — So fun! *2021-01-17* It is just so much fun! I love the new friend! ;) ### 5/5 — Free fun *2020-07-15, version 1.3* It is surprising that this game seems completely free with adverts. My two kids love it and it is a good way of keeping them busy during lockdown or on a rainy day. ### 5/5 — Excelente para jugar con niños *2020-07-09, version 1.3* Muy lindo y entretenido, perfecto para jugar en familia ### 5/5 — Fun and Engaging! *2020-06-29* Everyone makes fun of the game until it's their turn and then they really get into it! A brilliant invention! ### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME! *2020-06-04* I downloaded the game for my grandchildren. They loved the game. It kept them busy for a couple of hours until I had to return a phone call. They saw where they could get the puppy. I sent my email on the page to get the dog like it said and didn’t receive a link. I waited a day and in the meantime, my 3 year old granddaughter is hiding the phone and then looks for Kitty😂. I tried again for the dog and it didn’t work. I emailed the company around 9 am this morning. I received a reply about an hour later. After emailing back and forth, we had the issue resolved in a couple of hours. Part of that time was because I couldn’t get to my phone to check my emails because of my granddaughters playing this game. I never leave reviews but because of the fun of the game and the courtesy and kindness of Phil, I really wanted to. Thank you again, they love the dog. We can’t wait to open other animals😁😁 ### 5/5 — Great to play with young kids *2020-05-25* My 3 year old loves this game. It’s a great time passer. ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-05-24* My kids wants to play this for hours at a time. We love it ### 5/5 — Great fun with kids in lockdown *2020-05-16, version 1.03* Great fun with kids in lockdown --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
