### 2/5 — War eigentlich zufrieden…

*2026-07-28*

Aber jetzt bin ich total enttäuscht, ich habe ewig gebraucht alle Gebiete im forrest of beginning freizuschalten und die Kiste zu kriegen, hatte die Anime Augen drin die aber trotzdem nicht freigeschaltet sind, wozu dann Energie für Gebiete ausgeben 😣
Man kriegt sowieso schon so selten Diamanten durch die Schritte, darum hab ich mich so gefreut die so zu kriegen

### 5/5 — めっっちゃいい！

*2026-06-07*

物凄く良いです！ 私は小学生だから、歩いてお金をもらうとかじゃなくてゲーム感覚でできたのが嬉しいです！ でも、何故か2000歩位歩いたのにアイテムが出てこなくなりました💦 こっちの問題かも知れないですけど、やっぱりムカムカしちゃいます…。 その問題を除いたら、ものすごくいいアプリです！ めちゃくちゃ入れたほうがいいアプリです！！
追記　ものすごく歩いたのにルビーが出て来ません。改善お願いいたします。

### 5/5 — Cute, simple, and effective!

*2026-05-20*

I can honestly say I am stronger and have more energy thanks to this app. I downloaded it last year and it continues to motivate me even without notifications. It has given me the extra push I needed to do my exercises and get my steps in. The settings are easy to adjust to your individual goals. While there’s a small delay between my watch and the app, it has been reasonably accurate. I love the way this app has helped me, and I look forward to discovering other sweet projects by this developer. 💐

### 3/5 — Rubies

*2026-02-09*

Why don't I get rubies? What activities award them?

### 5/5 — Fun encourager

*2026-02-06*

Fun.

### 1/5 — no longer playing

*2025-09-24*

I’ve been playing this simulation for years. But the amount of ads is getting intrusive. If you open your app and see how much data you’re wasting especially with the ads, you realize this app is not work even if you’re under 98% Wi-Fi. I do not recommend buying this game or using if you’re not under Wi-Fi conditions. i’m sorry.

### 4/5 — Cute game

*2025-07-30, version 3.1.1*

I just wish you could preview something before crafting it

### 5/5 — Hops!

*2025-05-07*

Das ist so unfassbar süß! Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass mich dieses kleine Wesen so motivieren kann, aber die Animationen und die Soundeffekte sind so niedlich. Ich glaube zwar nicht, dass die App mich langfristig bei der Stange hält, aber zum Einstieg in ein bewegteres Leben ist Hops so viel schöner, als nur auf nackte Zahlen und Aktivitätsringe zu gucken.

### 5/5 — 楽しく使わせて頂いてます

*2025-01-14*

普段からたくさん歩く私ですが、こういう癒しアプリがあると俄然やる気が出ます。新しい趣味が増えた感じで満足です。

エナジーはなかなか貯まらないので次のステージへの楽しが継続的にあって楽しみになっています。
一方でアイテムは比較的作りやすくプレイしやすいぶん、作りまくっているうちに欲しいものが少なくなってきてしまっています。(2つ目のステージなのに、アイテムはだいぶ作れてる感じです)

もし可能ならば、また新しいアイテムを増やしていただきたいなと思います☺︎

楽しいアプリをありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — Nice daily check in

*2024-06-08*

I love my lil creature and the hopping effect is really soothing. It has helped me stay active in the winter months! And i love the slow and noncompetitive nature of the app. Only wish would be for more customizations or different maps as you progress through. Having the same maps in each round was a little disappointing.
