### 2/5 — Direction to play is unclear

*2026-08-16*

Installed today and having multiple questions:
1. How long does it take to refill the energy
2. Discord link not available; clickable one is not working
Everything is good but energy reviving strategy needs to be clean and alternate options must be there or else it is sort of a deadend

### 3/5 — Good game/ terrible energy system

*2026-08-10*

My biggest Takeaway from playing this game over the last few days is that the energy system is basically nonexistent. The game gives you the option to watch videos to get two energy at a time and generally you need at least three energy to do anything. The game says you get free energy allotted to you once per day. It’s been three days so far and I’ve yet to get any energy. The only energy I’ve gotten is from watching ads and even that has a cap. The game only allows you to watch so many ads.

Hopefully this is something they fix because right now the energy system just seems to be completely broken. This is a pretty fun game that analyzes the way you respond to the AI. And I can see why someone would want to spend money on this game however, the way it’s set up right now. I’m not sure I’ll be keeping the game. There’s no incentive for me personally to want to spend money on the game. I’m not going to buy energy when it’s clear. The game isn’t even giving me any energy daily to want to play the game. Where is the incentive at?

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-07-25, version 5.0.32*

I love this game. It knows me so well already

### 5/5 — I love this

*2026-07-25, version 5.0.32*

Not gonna lie I didn’t know anything about the game before I downloaded it. But now after playing I love it and I can’t wait for the future features. Especially where you get a job. I’ve already shared the game with my friend and we talked about how it was spot on about my personality. Please keep up the good work!☺️

### 5/5 — Very insightful

*2026-07-25, version 5.0.32*

The scenarios really help me see patterns in how I interact with people on a daily basis

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME!

*2026-07-24, version 5.0.32*

I am really thrilled for the upcoming updates!

### 5/5 — Great concept, requires lots of patience ⭐

*2026-07-19*

I love the unique art style and the overall concept of Nomi. It is a really engaging and cozy casual game to check in on throughout the day.

### 5/5 — Fun and real

*2026-07-16, version 5.0.32*

This game surprised me with how well the characters react to what I’m saying. It feels very real and very comfortable!

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-07-15, version 5.0.32*

It’s like therapy but not therapy. It’s fun, situation based, interactive, and a great way to get to know yourself more and even test yourself (socially, emotionally, or mentally) if you’re up for it! As an introspective person with lots of thoughts in her head, I love this and I’m excited to see where this game goes.

### 3/5 — Not Bad but Room for Improvement

*2026-07-14*

As the title suggests, the game isn’t half bad considering I came in with rather low expectations given I’ve been on a “download and delete” spree. Some of the things the “therapist” pointed out proved to be rather insightful, picking up patterns in myself I haven’t even noticed and at the same time validating feelings I got while recommending me things to try out. That’s probably my favorite aspect of the game. The events/scenarios are short scenarios where you’re placed with a character and assigned a goal to complete within 5 turns. Since it’s pretty randomized, some of the goals will feel out of place with the setting and or conversation (the character starts talking first so you have to continue off that). You can get up to 24 energy a day by watching ads and each event costs about 5 energy to do, so an average of 5 events a day assuming you don’t talk to the therapist. Plenty if you just want to sink 1-2 hours a day. 

What rubs me wrong though is the fact that if you do want more energy, you’d be given a prompt to join their discord and from there you are given an offer to review the game for 5 stars in order to get 30 free energy. I won’t say anything more on that, just a heads up to others considering downloading the game: take the 5 star reviews with a grain of salt. I don’t doubt there are people who genuinely thinks this game is worth the full mark but given the fact that there were at least a couple hundred threads in their “reviews for energy” channel, there’s probably a good chunk of 5 star reviews that are skewed.

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2026-07-12, version 5.0.32*

Really cute and engaging game.

### 5/5 — very novel idea!

*2026-07-10, version 5.0.32*

i haven’t seen anything quite like this, and the interactive elements paired with the rather keen and very positive responses from the characters is so immersive. it’s definitely a great pick-me-up game to indulge in. you can tell the developers put a lot of heart and effort into the project

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-07-09, version 5.0.32*

I’ve never played anything quite like this before. It‘s very insightful and interesting. Excited to play more!

### 5/5 — Very interactive

*2026-07-09, version 5.0.32*

I just started playing this game and so far I love it. You get to choose your own dialogue which makes the connection between the characters way more personal. 

The game also targets what you need to work on mentally and works it into the character interactions.

Also you can create your own custom interaction with any character you like in the game. Very cool!

### 5/5 — Favourite

*2026-07-06, version 5.0.32*

This has become my comfort game. It’s been so helpful for my social anxiety. I absolutely adore the whole concept and I can’t wait for more updates.

### 5/5 — Incredible concept

*2026-07-06, version 5.0.32*

I love everything about this game! I cannot wait for future versions if it’s already this good! So fun and genuinely a good way to learn more about yourself and I love getting to know each character’s personalities. Really really enjoy it!

### 5/5 — FUN GAME

*2026-07-03, version 5.0.32*

it’s a very fun and easy game to play and it doesn’t feel like a chore to talk to the therapist!! honestly i could spend HOURS playing it 😁

### 5/5 — Fun game to play at work!

*2026-07-03, version 5.0.32*

When work gets busy, I just click ads and farm energy while working. When it’s slow, I can spend hours on multiple interactions lol. I really appreciate Dr. Reid’s reads lol, I feel super exposed after every session, and love the little personality cards after each interaction event! I’m excited for this game’s development and the day we get jobs and more social media features like DMs! Also hoping for a deeper romance mechanic if possible!🤞🏽🤞🏽

### 1/5 — Hmmm

*2026-07-22, version 5.0.32*

Why not add the black male on here as a start avatar? Are we not to play this game? Do we not seek help?

### 1/5 — Great app ruined by bribing users for 5-star reviews

*2026-07-21, version 5.0.32*

What I love:
The core concept is awesome and I immediately had high hopes. It’s so immersive and realistic, the responses arrive quickly and make logical sense, the system of analyzing my responses to interpret and explain my personality traits has been accurate and interesting. This is absolutely the kind of app I would adore and maybe pay for (which I rarely do). 

What I don’t love:
It provides little to no context about the scenarios into which it drops you, giving you 5 turns to achieve a goal in a conversation when you don’t even know what your relationship to these characters is supposed to be. That’s stressful and unpleasant, and it feels like I’m in Quantum Leap. 

The dealbreakers:
I struggled to locate a way to contact anyone to ask questions or send feedback. The contact info is a discord link that, for me, opens discord but leads nowhere. Eventually i found a link to their discord on some other site. Eventually I also found a contact email, which was on another site and, for me, buried at the bottom beneath overlapping text. It’s probably not purposeful, but it was unsettling how difficult it was to reach out. 

The biggest issue for me was that they offer free energy in exchange for a 5-star review, which I understand is against the App Store rules. Incentivizing reviews in itself isn’t a problem, but requiring them to be 5-star reviews artificially inflates the ratings and is not okay. I would have been okay with the other issues I had, but this is dishonest and not in good faith. 

I do appreciate the intensely hard work of independent developers. This app is such a wonderful concept and has so much potential. Even with unfinished features, it’s an excellent experience. But the lack of transparency regarding contact information and the manipulation of the rating system really ruined this for me. 
Please consider discontinuing the incentivized review practice. It’s such a good app on its own, it doesn’t even need the falsely inflated reviews.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-07-01, version 5.0.32*

This would be such a good game if you didn’t have to pay for energy after 1 go, I waited 2 days had 1 go then ran out of energy? Annoying

### 1/5 — Take to long to do anything and keep trying to force you onto there discord

*2026-06-29, version 5.0.32*

They make you spend money or watch ads for more then ur free daily talks and play along the game could be fun if they gave you more stuff to play i get there a small team but it annoying when you cant even play a game without spending money also endlessly putting ur discord all over annoying game was fun but grew dull af after a hour or so had potential and fully failed maybe if they fixed there stuff it be better

### 1/5 — The ads are disturbing!

*2026-05-30, version 5.0.32*

The game is pretty good but the ads are so inappropriate and disturbing. Completely ruined the game for me. 
It is so sexual, it should NOT be in a 13+ game. 
There are kids man, take that stuff off.

### 1/5 — Impossible to get “energy”

*2026-05-03, version 5.0.32*

You can only play for a couple rounds and then everything is pay to win/you need tokens. You get energy by watching ads or paying for it. Don’t waste your time downloading this, it’s just a cash grab.

### 1/5 — Paid Reviews

*2026-04-20, version 5.0.31*

The app offers free energy for joining their discord server but upon joining the only way to get that free energy is actually leaving a 5 stars review. 

These reviews are incentivised and are five stars in order to gain free energy for the app.

They banned me from their discord server when i called them out for breaking app store rules. Poorly run app with a dev team that have zero care for rules

### 1/5 — Eh

*2026-04-08, version 5.0.31*

It’s stupid how you have to have energy to keep playin.. really killed the mood

### 1/5 — Not That Fun A Game

*2026-01-16, version 5.0.31*

There isn’t much to do with this game other than see the psychiatrist. This game isn’t helpful, it’s stressful. I want a way to quit this game.

### 1/5 — Achat d’avis positifs

*2025-10-31, version 5.0.26*

Des récompenses en jeu sont offertes en échange d’avis positifs.
Contenus payant ou visionnage de pub pour pouvoir jouer. 
100% fait par IA, y’a pas un pet de dessin réel. 

Jusqu’à maintenant je m’amusais bien dessus tout de même. Mais bon chiant que ça ne soit plus accessible gratuitement alors que rien est fait par des humains quoi :/

### 5/5 — Fun & Interesting

*2026-08-19*

really interesting and fun to play! Once I started playing, I wanted to keep playing and explore more.. engaging and enjoyable, and I’m looking forward to playing more

### 5/5 — Amazing Game!

*2026-08-14, version 5.0.32*

Didn’t think I’d end up enjoying this game. At first I thought it’d be just like the other life simulation games but after playing it for some time now, it started to piqued my interest. It’s definitely worth giving it a try!

### 5/5 — Feels like one continuous world

*2026-08-11, version 5.0.32*

The best part of this game is that conversations actually connect. What I say to one character carries into how other characters react to me. It’s not fragmented like most life sims, where every interaction resets. It genuinely feels like I’m living in one continuous world instead of jumping between separate scripted branches.
I also really love the custom events feature. Being able to write my own chapters instead of just picking from set options gives me real creative control over my story. I’ve spent real money on energy packs specifically for this, and it’s been worth it.
Really excited to see what’s next for this game🥰

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-08-11, version 5.0.32*

The game has amazing detail and gameplay!

### 5/5 — love love love

*2026-08-10, version 5.0.32*

love this game it’s very interactive

### 5/5 — Good game but greedy

*2026-08-09, version 5.0.32*

Great game but won't give you any energy none after your initial start and the discord link to get free energy doesn't work.

### 5/5 — NoMi

*2026-08-07, version 5.0.32*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

NoMi is such a fun and entertaining game! I really enjoy the overall concept, and it’s the kind of game that keeps you coming back because there’s always something new to do. The gameplay is engaging, the design is enjoyable, and it’s easy to get invested once you start playing.

I especially love how immersive and interactive it feels. It has a good balance of challenge and fun without feeling overly complicated. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating the experience.

Definitely worth giving a try if you’re looking for something fun to play and get lost in for a while. I’m excited to see what updates and new features come in the future! Highly recommend. 🎮✨

### 5/5 — M

*2026-08-05, version 5.0.32*

This game offers a new perspective on role play gaming. Introspection on your own play style. Thrown into social hypotheticals and your answers carefully analyzed. Give detailed answers learn more about yourself. Game needs more hype honestly

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-08-04, version 5.0.32*

This game is simply perfect, from the stunning graphics to the in depth interactiveness from the characters to really make you feel immersed. Would highly recommend this game to everyone considering downloading!

### 5/5 — Wonderfully Innovative

*2026-08-02, version 5.0.32*

So far, I’ve really enjoyed this app. I was looking for a mobile dating sim and I stumbled into this. Getting to write my own responses instead of picking from pre-written ones is such a nice change of pace! It lets you get to feel more connected with the amazing cast of characters the developers have created. I’m so excited to see what else is in store!
