Pawchi is great for chronic illness
I love having my stuffed animal helping bring my spirits up. When you have a severe chronic illness even simple things are hard but pawchi helps motivate me with a friend who I already know! My doggy and my stuffed animal both help me try to be as healthy as I can, without nagging or irritation
Garbage
Can’t redo appearances. They don’t actually have voices. No text log.
No free version
They force you to pay and only a 3 day trial. Sorry for a person with adhd i think 7 day trial would be good and a free version. If I were you, I’d make a free version and then make the subscription one but make it worth while to switch over. It’s marketing. Not forcing someone to pay for it. Not cool

Has Potential!
I downloaded this app specifically because I saw they had a rooster avatar available. As a chicken dad, I heavily appreciate the sheer volume of avatars this program is able to create. It’s nearly impossible to find a virtual pet/habit app with chicken representation. I love the completely custom avatars and the plethora of options within the app. However, it’s clear this app is still a work in progress. As it is right now, I don’t think it’s worth $80 a year. There are quite a few more features I would like to see before I would confidently recommend this app. But, on a heavily positive note, I do see the developer working continuously to integrate user suggestions. I think this program has amazing potential. If you don’t like it now, check back later. I’m really hoping to see this turn into a 5 star app soon!

Makes you pay and is ridiculously expensive
When I downloaded Pawchi I genuinely thought I’d found something better than Finch, which is a pretty hard bar to beat. I was really excited, the concept is really cool but to my dismay there is no free version, the app and advertisements are misleading because it makes it seem free. Nope, you have to pay. I could see paying $9.99 a month, maybe. But $9.99 a week is ridiculous. Very disappointed because the app looked awesome.

Requires payment
Payment is required for this app, do not bother with downloading if you do not wish to pay.
Too Pricey for the content
I recommend a different self-care app that doesn’t try to immediately dig in your funds.
Deceptive Ads make you think this app is free
The ad I got on 7/19/26 states the app was free to use however after creating my account the only option available is to pay for a subscription. There is no free trial or free to use option.
literally unusable on the free version.
i signed up and did all the beginning steps of the app in order to get the self-care pet ready, only to be forced into a subscription screen, despite them saying that's the "VIP" or "exclusive" bundle or whatever, implying there's a free version. and there IS. they just made it unusable. the only way i got out of that paying screen is by hitting "restore purchases" and then i was able to go about the app. when i closed out of it and came back hours later, it didn't let me back in. it said i had to pay again. then i click the x button to try and keep using the free version and it logs me out. waste of time if you don't have the money for a self-care app that wants to charge you $40 a year.

Can’t use free or even trial
The app makes you think payment is optional because it gives you a chance to buy “Pawchi Plus,” but that’s the ONLY way to use the app. There is no regular Pawchi, only Pawchi Plus, which is extremely deceptive. you don’t get a trial period either.
Makes me pay.
In one of the videos it says free but after I make an account the only buttons is an X and I lose my account or the pay button.
The app is great!
It really helps me get things done and I would love to see a store in the game so I can give my cat treats and play with him with toys.
