So GOOD!!

I thought this will be bad but I actually really like it my Otto is so cute it’s name is peanut butter and it’s a she/her definitely get this

Love

Very motivating!

I love OTTO

My cut little otter always helps me get my tasks done when I need to, and it’s helping me improve my health habits.

Full crashes

Every time i try to make a reminder set for midnight, the whole app crashes and i cannot reopen it, i am forced to uninstall the app and the account is inaccessible without the app crashing

Creatures

It would be cool if we could enable all of our little creatures we find on our adventures! The fish and the bugs and butterflies.

OMG ITS SO GOOD

I had it for 4 months and I have a 6 pack

BEST SELF-CARE APP!!!

I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH! Its so awesome and great Otto helps me keep track of what I do in a day 🦦🦦🦦

Will continue to use!

I have a couple of meds I need to take at different times throughout the day and I’m frequently getting distracted. I use the app to set recurring reminders to take them at specific times, and because I earn pearls to decorate my otter I actually open it up to check things off so I can go back and make sure I’m not double taking my meds when I’m not feeling well. Some people use pill holders, but I’m bad at remembering to fill those. So this was a very nice compromise and I don’t snooze it like alarms. It’s also become my daily todo list app now too lol

To big of screen

I get through the first part of the setting it up, but at the end, there’s a button at the bottom that I can’t scroll down to get to and when I try to tap the small bit of it that shows, it doesn’t do anything. I can tell it’s a nice app though!

Was cute and promising, but now abandoned :(

This review was written before the developers decided to abandon this app for a soulless AI self-care pet app. No response to my emails, the official Otto Discord was pretty much deleted, and the devs went back on their promise to never use AI with how the Otto website redirects to an AI-powered app. Otto still functions as a self-care pet app, but the numerous bugs will likely never be fixed and no new features or updates will be pushed out which makes Otto vastly inferior to the likes of Catzy or Finch. Shame, considering how open and transparent the devs had been with us, but that's just corporate greed for you.

This app helped me drink water

I rarely drink water and it actually works

MUST TRY!

So fun and it helps me with self care! The only thing I would add is when your otto gets back, you can write your own message to him and he would actually read it unlike finch. (Sorry finch you are amazing) but yea, and more colors for the flower like black because I NEED that for my fit.

Awesome!

Review written by the daughter of this account‘s owner- AMAZING!!! I have an intense special interest in Otters and know all 13 species by memory and have so many otter items! This helps me so much with routine and hygiene as a person with autism & ADHD this helps alot,also helps with anxiety! 100% recommended. Also, which Otter species is Otto? Seems like a mix of some River Otter with a Sea Otter,-the Sea Otter because it floats on water like them,yet the appearance of some River Otter !🦦

Abandoned App

Left a positive review here after interactions with the developer team making Otto on their discord. At the time they shared that they had no plans to implement AI features in Otto and even thanked those of us who asked about it for caring. A few weeks later they announced that they are going to stop adding new features to Otto so they could focus on selfcare and scaling the app more intentionally. It’s been a few months since then so I checked in to see how Otto was going. I was genuinely disappointed when I tried the website only to find that it now redirects to an AI self care pet app. Whatever’s going on behind the scenes, this is not a developer team I would trust my mental health with.

So fun and cute

This app is so fun and cute you can name your otter an color it and you get to make a route but it’s like all routes games to help so it’s not to fun but it’s cute try it and see how it is

Deceitful team making an AI app

Left a positive review here after interactions with the developer team making Otto. A few months ago they indicated that they had no plans to use AI and were in fact taking a self-care break to scale the company more intentionally. Well, they’ve stopped updating this app and are now redirecting the Otto website to an AI based self-care Koala app. I overlooked how much they copied from competitor apps and that was a mistake.

Free!! Super useful for adhd people or just those needing to be motivated

I downloaded this app thinking as soon as I enter I’d have to delete it because it’d need a subscription or something to use it but to my surprise it was free and I’ve been using it for a while now. I absolutely love this app and have told my friends about it. Super helpful and motivating. The creators of this app are so wonderful for such an app.

Dead

Seems like the company has gone scorched earth on this game. They deleted their discord, replace the Otto website with another app, and aren’t replying to any emails. Honestly I don’t know how they are allowed to keep the game up for people buy. Pretty sad because it was decent.

Otro

It’s really fun and entertaining I love it it feels like ur a mom

Not being updated

Sadly, the development team is no longer updating the app so there is not going to be any new content and just a lot of repeated experiences. It was fun while it lasted but unfortunately I guess it just wasn’t worth the effort to continue. If they start up again, I’ll gladly change my review.
