Very cute and the fact you can have more than one Noa make juggling the needs of all of them super fun. Only complaint is that I wish you didn’t have to buy consumable with real money. It feels cash grabby, and it’s a shame because this game is something that otherwise I would consider superb. If you miss having Your Tamagotchi this game will fill the void! Definitely recommend. ### 4/5 — Super fun but un rewarding. *2019-07-07, version 1.0.5* Very fun game but they are more needy than my real life pets. If you have a job they will 100% be dead by the time your off work, get home, and check your phone. You have to check on them every two hours and I don’t think even real tamogatchi were that frail. Maybe this game is just not meant for me but I really wish I could have a life and also play this game. Some how playing every day isn’t enough, it needs to be all day or your cute friends will die and all your work will be for nothing. I stopped playing this game because I was tired of getting excited to play it when I get a window to relax for the day only to find my noa dead because I didn’t come baby him all day even though he was fully fed, rested, and bathed a mere 4-5 hours ago. Tamogatchi were suppose to be like a pet, and a pet that dies when left alone for an afternoon isn’t a pet people would get, so idk why this game choose to go that direction. Please make it accessible for people older than 10 years old that have to be places during the day. Thnx! ### 4/5 — It’s good what’s with the ads *2019-06-05, version 1.0.5* It’s a good game, but when you want doubles and you choose to watch the ad the ad doesn’t play automatically, not a pig deal you know just press play, but it’s so hard to watch it, sometimes if you press the play button a lot it still does not work and the ad goes away and you have no chance of getting doubles. The same problem is with the gift ad. ### 4/5 — 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾 *2019-06-02, version 1.0.5* Really cute not to many ads most of the ads are optional and this keeps me up at night ### 4/5 — It won’t let me get the third egg *2019-04-08, version 1.0.5* I tried to get the third egg I tapped to get the first shook my phone to get the second and the only other option is to blow into my microphone but it won’t let me ### 4/5 — Amazing Game! But there’s a few issues *2019-04-03, version 1.0.5* I love this game a lot ☺️ I think it’s adorable, well put together, and super entertaining. But the problem is, the pets get tired waaay too fast, and get hungry super quick. Also, it would be nice if there was more interactions with the backgrounds and such. Other than that, it’s great 👍🏻 ### 4/5 — Very cute! *2019-03-31, version 1.0.5* As a few other reviews have said, this is a very cute game, and a clean and different version of tamagotchi. The only issue I have is with the sleeping time. My Noa’s sleeping bar was all the way full, so of course I put it in sleep mode. But I come back maybe an hour or more later to play some more, and it’s not even close to well rested. Maybe lower the amount of time it takes to fully rest the Noa? It makes me less interested in playing if every time I pop in, it’s still resting. I do appreciate that it gains love while I’m away, though. ### 4/5 — Love this app *2019-03-24, version 1.0.5* I pre ordered it once I looked it over because it looked exactly like the tomigatchi they I grew up with. Had to have it. Plenty of things to do, to learn about each noa and currency is easy to earn. But, I did just try to purchase the 2.99 limited offer and it is charged to my card but I go not see the stars, revives or health anywhere. And idea?? ### 5/5 — Nostalgia overload *2019-03-07, version 1.0.5* Honesty this is better than the tamagotchi app imho. Also I love that they’ve taken the virtual pet concept and improved it and taken it into the modern day. My only complaint, and please devs, don’t misunderstand, is that I wish I could check and care for my pets via my Apple Watch. Apple Watch support would be killer. ### 5/5 — This is It *2019-03-02, version 1.0.5* tell me why I would die for my noas. i don’t often spend money on apps but I just might for this one. ### 4/5 — Ads as mechanics *2019-02-28, version 1.0.5* This is a very cute and fun game, but it is very ad-heavy. Obviously you can chose to NOT watch ads and double rewards (and you can play in offline mode so ads are no longer recommended for gifts) but it is a little annoying to constantly have it pop up each time I do anything. ### 5/5 — It won’t let me scroll?? *2019-02-28, version 1.0.5* I’m using an iPad and it won’t let me switch between different noas. I don’t know what’s causing this and I don’t want my Noa to die ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NO ICLOUD SUPPORT. *2019-03-25, version 1.0.5* I now have wasted money... this game doesn’t save your progress or your account to anything but the phone or iPad it’s on. That means that if at some point you need to delete this app off your phone AT ALL all of your purchases, time and progress are GONE. Now, say you have two devices that you thought you’d be able to cross play on but decided to stick with one after finding this out, what happens when they enable iCloud support? Do they pick an account at random, leaving you with a less done account and delete the account spent MONEY on?? This is careless and needs to be fixed. Once it is, 5 stars easy. ### 2/5 — Cute but really confusing *2021-10-12, version 1.0.5* I really don’t understand how to do a lot of things in this app, it is not accessible for people who have a hard time understanding ### 2/5 — It’s cute but the mini games are near impossible *2019-05-17, version 1.0.5* If this is a children’s game, and I, an adult am struggling to beat the ‘most simple’ of games, it needs to be refined. You are given quite literally ONE chance to beat the mini game. Not to mention when you fail the end of the game takes three years to load up how much stuff you got. I mean my god, can’t you make that stuff skippable? This game is absolutely ridiculous, if an adult can’t beat it, then how is your target audience supposed to? Fix it because this is really annoying. ### 2/5 — Noa Time For This *2019-05-09, version 1.0.5* Every day I would make sure all of them had what they needed. They were pooped, washed, fed, played with, and put to bed 3 times a day just to find them dead in the morning. I’ve tried my very hardest as an adult to play this game. I hope children don’t throw money at you in despair as their pet dies over and over. Clearly a cash grab in a game I would of otherwise enjoyed throughly. Note: I uninstalled the app after the 5th unfair death. ### 3/5 — Ability to turn Motion Off *2019-08-21, version 1.0.5* I love the game and what it has to offer but the way the screen moves around and shifts while looking at your phone or Noa is nausea inducing. You’re able to turn off other visual effects, so I hope the ability to turn this motion gets added as well ### 3/5 — Just know before downloading *2019-02-28, version 1.0.5* This game is fun. However you have to watch your pets CONSTANTLY!! If you don’t they get sick or die in legit one day. Sorry I don’t got that much time on my hands and I’m deleting the app over frustration. ### 3/5 — How to hatch new eggs? *2019-02-20, version 1.0.4* I’ve found eggs in the environment but I can’t find anything on how to actually hatch them? I’d be great if there was an in game tutorial on how to hatch them when you find the first egg in the environment. Other than that it’s been fun so far! ### 3/5 — Second Noa? *2019-02-18, version 1.0.4* I have found a spot for a whole second device, but when I touch it I am taken to the skin screen. I see no way to have a second pet going. Help! ### 4/5 — Game is awesome but… *2022-06-14, version 1.0.5* I feel like they should less the time you have to wait when it sleeps it’s like you get to play with your pet for 10 or so minutes if that then you have to make it go to sleep before you can do anything else.. But no one really wants to buy a 50$ Tomogotchi so this is a good option😄 ### 4/5 — Authentic but could use some adjustments to mechanics *2022-04-19, version 1.0.5* This game brings back so many memories. Even the sound of the oversized buttons being pushed. But it also perfectly incorporates modern aspects and integrates them seamlessly. Taking the concept of the virtual pet and making it not so much the main focus of the game but the device itself is a unique and entertaining twist. The in game currencies are easy to earn and while doubling the sleep speed still lands me having to wait longer than I would like I understand that without paid content developers could not release and manage their projects. Now, one thing that keeps me from a 5 star rating is the mechanics of how the Noa is woken up. Pressing the middle button. And I do this by accident consistently when trying to minimize the app window as the controls are located so low on the screen. Two suggestions, the first obviously being to move it up slightly and the other being to add a confirmation prompt that will display before the Noa actually wakes up would be sufficient solutions. Moving it is probably easiest. And it would solve the second problem I’ve had as well. When virtual pet devices were originally designed they had raised buttons making locating them without looking very easy. But with a flat touch screen I find myself losing mini games because where my thumbs go naturally is above where they are actually located and I can’t feel that I’m missing. Some may not experience this so a thought on solving both problems at once would be instead of relying on the ability to also use the buttons on the device as well as the ones lower on the screen make it so the user can adjust the location of the buttons. To be able to raise and lower that part of the interface. It prevents accidentally hitting buttons when swiping to minimize the app and constant missing of the buttons when trying to press them without glancing from the game to the buttons and simply having them sit comfortably on the screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it. *2022-03-21, version 1.0.5* Love the game. The Noas that need to be hatched via noise can’t be hatched anymore. I was able to hatch one noa that way, but after hatching and raising a few noas via tap and shake I tried another noise hatch and it didn’t work. Edit: I rebooted my phone and the mic feature worked again. ### 5/5 — love love love *2021-05-13, version 1.0.5* Im sad to see this game isnt regularly updated anymore!! I'd deff be open to spending $ if it still got support :C anyway this is so fun, cute, and unique!! I love the aesthetic ### 5/5 — I never leave reviews but THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!!!! IT NEEDS MORE DOWNLAODS *2020-12-13, version 1.0.5* I LOVE this game!! I was close to buying a tamagotchi because I missed the feeling of having it, but then I found them for $50 online so I decided to download a bunch of games instead. I downloaded at least 10 different virtual pet apps. This one is the best by far out of all of them. I love that stars are not difficult to get and you can get free gifts all the time. I also love the fact that the avatar can have a hijab/headscarf because I wear one and it made me so happy that I wanted to write this review. I can’t believe this game doesn’t have more downloads. It’s underrated and it was made sooo well. The Noa Noa pets have fun games and the pets are so cute. You can tell this game was really well made. I am so impressed by this!! This is better than any other virtual game out there and it’s honestly addictive!! Thanks so much for making this it’s amazing ### 5/5 — Yes! *2020-09-21, version 1.0.5* Ive been waiting for an authentic tamagotchi game, and its everything i could have hoped for! ### 5/5 — Good, but gets annoying *2020-02-10, version 1.0.5* This is an awesome game!! The only thing is that you have to constantly check so your part won’t die ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-08-14, version 1.0.5* This game is amazing. Please make more updates in the future with more Noas. I’m already addicted and I’ve been playing for only an hour! ### 5/5 — Cool game sooooo cute *2019-07-01, version 1.0.5* This game is cool and I like it a lot. But the fact I don’t like that there are only four things to do in the noas city. Arcade,gym,academy,and the food spot. It could be better if they add a place where your noa(s) can work or go to the playground it would be more fun but it’s good so far so I hope the developers read this and other people too so that they can add that stuff.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — Best virtual pet app out there! *2019-05-14, version 1.0.5* I absolutely love this cute game. It really brings out the nostalgic feelings I had with my first tamagotchi and Digimon back in 1997. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great experience with a handheld virtual pet! Additional stars for catering to the collector side of me! I can't wait to unlock them all. Five stars. And some love <3 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-04-07, version 1.0.5* It’s so kawaii and very fun! I wish they could add more games and exercises and if he could customize our own Noa’s, but I’m not complaining! ### 5/5 — super cute *2019-03-30, version 1.0.5* super cute game, kind of slow paced but i think it prevents burnout. my only complaint is i wish there was a reduced motion setting. you can turn off “jitter” which stops the letter animation. there is a constant movement within the game though, it is supposed to seem like the movement of your character breathing in and out i think while looking at your noa device. it is so headache inducing, i usually have to take a break from any screen for a few hours afterwards. the ability to turn this off would make the game so much better for me. my other suggestion would be add a sleep potion and/ or energy drink option where you could temporarily have your noa need less sleep/ have more energy. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
