I need to send a request to my parent before subscribing to anything, due to the fact I am a minor and my parents approve all my apps and things like that I keep me safe. It repeatedly has told me there is an error and although I would love to use this app, I am seemingly not allowed to. Please fix this issue so I can subscribe to the app! ### 2/5 — Great app but since the last update I can't open the app at all *2025-06-17, version 6.3.1* Can't open it ### 3/5 — Good but buggy *2025-02-17, version 6.2.0* I entered one of my piggies birthday incorrectly at first. I went to change it and it shows the old birthday still on the screen with the wrong age but on the specific profile it is correct. I also added their vet visits for each and it still says no vet visits but I click on the specific profile, it shows the visit. But the articles and food options part is great. It has lots of good info with pictures. ### 3/5 — Like the app, but… *2025-01-24, version 6.1.8* I like this app, but I am not able to add my guinea pigs vet date because for some reason it won’t allow me to close my keyboard. Also, for some reason, it has my guinea pigs birthday five years older than they are. I tried to set it to their age, but it wasn’t allowing me to and the calendar was cut off so I had to guess what year it was. I do like the app because it tells me I can’t feed them, but I really wish I could update the information about my guinea pig. When I go to Vet, they won’t allow me to add the date. I just updated the new update. I’m not sure if it’s because of that but I hope they fix it soon. ### 2/5 — Pls change! *2024-11-29, version 6.1.5* Overall it seems like a great app for guineas but i would love to use it if it didn't require apple! Even if i press sign in with apple it would always freeze so please change it so i could use it since its such a disappointment that the reviews make the app seem perfect for me as a guinea pig parent but yeah that seems like the only problem! 🙁 ### 4/5 — Good app tiny flaws *2024-03-10, version 6.0.7* I mostly enjoy the app for foods foods that my gunnie pigs can eat and read articles to help my understanding with gunnie pigs the food section could use a sort feature that sorts the toxic not recommended edible staple etc. ### 2/5 — Data lost *2024-01-03, version 6.0.2* All my piggies info and data are gone after the update to the new app. I was using the pay version. Is there any way to recover all the info? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-12-30, version 6.0.0* I lost all the data and can’t log in :( ### 3/5 — Stopped Working After Update *2023-12-30, version 6.0.0* Love that app until recent update and then it just stopped working. Sad, really did enjoy app. ### 1/5 — The update is terrible *2023-12-29, version 6.0.0* I have just updated the app and it no longer works on both my phone and iPad. It asks to sign in using Apple , it looks like its signed you in and then just freezes. Sometimes it won’t even show anything except a white screen when you open the app. I think you need to look at the update, as the app is now no longer able to be used at all. So disappointed this app was brilliant ### 1/5 — New update *2023-12-28, version 6.0.0* When the new update happend I logged in, I put my piggies dob and name in and pressed the ‘add’ button , and won’t let me passed there ? I love this app so pls fix this ### 4/5 — UPDATE!! Does this app work? *2023-12-28, version 6.0.0* UPDATE: The revamping of the old app has allowed me to enter all my piggies! The information is very helpful that is provided. Looking forward to being able to add their pictures, which is coming and looking forward to what the revamped app will ultimately have for us Cavy lovers have tried putting my Guinea pigs’ profiles on this app and I never see them show up. Is this app still working in 2023? I left 1 star because I don’t know if it is good or not since seems to not be functioning ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-12-27, version 6.0.0* The app has stopped working on IPhone after the latest update. I had a trouble with logging in and can’t add any pig anymore. ### 1/5 — New “My Guinea Pig Bowl” *2023-12-25* DO NOT UPGRADE to new “My Guinea Pig Bowl” The new updated version of the app “My Guinea Pig Bowl” uses a new login method and credentials which DOES NOT use/retrieve the information saved on the old version “My Guinea Pigs”. We have lost ALL records for over 50 guinea pigs! ### 3/5 — I wish u could find *2023-12-20, version 5.0.0* I wish I could find my guinea pig call on the guinea pig lake account finder like I have to scroll all the way down and there’s like no search button so I wish I could find one ### 2/5 — Deleted data *2023-12-14, version 5.0.0* Ive been using this app for years but suddenly when they want us to pay for “premium” all of my data is deleted, im logged out, and unable to quickly log in as usual. I just need to know the dates of their birthdays for a vet visit but i suppose its on me to put my trust in an app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was great until they started using AI *2026-06-11, version 6.3.11* I understand AI is new and being used but I don’t really trust an app for my animal safety and information when they’re using AI. After the update I deleted it and I will not be getting it back. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-04-10, version 6.2.2* I got this app years ago to help me keep track of my Guinea pigs’ weigh ins. It has now turned into a fully pay to use app. I’ve also lost record to all of my past history with this new subscription change. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t let me sign in *2025-03-06, version 6.2.0* Got to the ‘use apple account’ no other options and just didnt let me go back or tap on anything else very disappointed ☹️ ### 1/5 — Pls change! *2024-09-23* Overall it seems like a great app for guineas but i would love to use it if it didn't require apple! Even if i press sign in with apple it would always freeze so please change it so i could use it since its such a disappointment that the reviews make the app seem perfect for me as a guinea pig parent but yeah that seems like the only problem! 🙁 ### 1/5 — No longer usable. *2024-02-06, version 6.0.5* This used to be such a good app. Now only Apple ID can sign in and even then we can’t sign in. So.. as someone who paid for the lifelong subscription I’m kinda angry. ### 1/5 — Update *2024-01-05, version 6.0.3* Since the new update, the app won’t let you sign in, and is now unusable. ### 1/5 — Update gone wrong *2024-01-03, version 6.0.3* Giving only 1 star as all the data I had on all my piggies is gone along with their profiles I had everything on each piggie in there along with when they passed away and it’s all gone with the revamp of the app ### 1/5 — Faulty update *2024-01-02, version 6.0.2* I noticed that the app had been updated but as soon as I open the app I have to add my Guinea pig and when I click add nothing happens so I don’t have access to the app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2024-01-01, version 6.0.0* The app doesn't work anymore and now I've lost all 13 of my guinea pigs birthday dates. ### 1/5 — New update not working *2024-01-01, version 6.0.0* This app was great and yes it had bugs that needed to be fixed however, now it has more issues you sign in and it asks you to add your Guinea pigs names and birthdays into it which I tried but once you click the add button nothing happens ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app for my piggy’s *2026-04-25, version 6.3.10* Love the app, so helpful for DOB, keeping notes on them, reminding me to do a health check and weights, also love the fact I can check the food chart to see what they can eat when I’m out shopping 🥰🥰🥰 ### 5/5 — Русский язык *2024-07-07, version 6.0.10* Хорошее приложение. Не хватает русского языка. Было бы классно добавить функцию изменения фотографии в профиле морской свинки. ### 5/5 — APP UPDATE VERSION 6.0.0 12/26/23 *2023-12-26, version 6.0.0* I have been chatting with the devs via email for a few months now anticipating this new version. I love the new update!! Wow! It fixes most of the issues the app was having beforehand. One of the drawbacks is it seems most of the data on the old version has been deleted. I signed in with my google account on the old version, but with the new one- the only option I had was signing in with Apple, so I couldn’t use the same account I think? Not sure. Either way the app refresh is very welcome and I’m so excited to see where this app goes. I LOVE to recommended topics feed on the main page to help inform guinea pig parents of how to correctly care for their little ones :) Thank you so much devs! Your work is extremely appreciated. ### 5/5 — Bug. *2023-12-03, version 5.0.0* Needs an update because nothing is loading besides food ### 5/5 — Unbelievably good *2023-08-07, version 5.0.0* Literally tells you everything and anything about Guinea pigs and there care! Sad they took down the social part where you can post about your pigs, but still great! ### 5/5 — I love it *2023-07-29, version 5.0.0* Me and my sisters are getting genuine pigs and this helped us so much I really recommend this app although a food planner you have to get premium I really love the concept and everything about this. If your getting a genuine pigs I really recommend this app ### 5/5 — 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 !!!💖💖 *2023-06-24, version 5.0.0* 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐠𝐮𝐠𝐬 💗💕💕💕 ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-05-02, version 5.0.0* Love this apps. Helps new GP owners like me ### 5/5 — Sooooo good *2023-04-22, version 5.0.0* If I could give this 1000000000 stars ⭐️ I would ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-04-10, version 5.0.0* I have 2 Guinea pigs and this app is great to keep track of their diets, it also shows different sounds that they make, what to feed them and what not to feed them, I’m so happy that I got this app, I highly recommend it! I do wish that there where less VIP customizations. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
