### 4/5 — I still like it

*2026-03-25, version 2.0.1*

I don’t really have space anymore even though I have played in 3 days

### 3/5 — Bien mais…

*2025-12-26*

Cette application est très intéressante mais à chaque fois que l’on quitte l’application, tout est supprimé… c’est assez embêtant de tout refaire juste car on a quitté l’application !

### 5/5 — my evil self

*2024-07-15, version 2.0.1*

no one will know i’m a terrorist and have committed 3 war-crimes!   good app btw..

### 5/5 — Add More Things

*2023-07-22, version 2.0.1*

In the family tree feature, when I add family members, I noticed that there wasn’t an action to make pets white. Dogs that are white [or have white in them] are: Samoyeds Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Almost Any Terriers Some Chihuahuas Huskies e.t.c. Please add white and more rainbow-y colors for chameleons and animals like that. Also, add a bigger screen, because I have so much in my family tree and I can’t get to some of my family member characters that I want to put more information about. I support you and love all of your games.

Love, Ms. Reed    [8 years old]

### 5/5 — Oh no again!

### 4/5 — Помогите

*2021-09-15*

Здравствуйте! Ваше приложение замечательное! Но у меня проблема: это глюк когда я выхожу в меню аватаров и возвращаюсь, у моего персонажа изменяется лицо, меняется цвет у эмоциональных окошек, куда-то деваются задания, бывает, по моему, исчезает древо и атом друзей. Помогите, пожалуйста!                                                                                             ХОМЯК
