The developers can block your account for no reason and they can’t unblock it so that means that the money you spend goes to waste ### 4/5 — Needs big update *2025-02-03, version 1.0.92* I use to play this a long time ago, but eventually stopped as I must of gotten bored, now I decided to go back on it but found I lost my old account, so created a new one, I've been searching Facebook to find neighbors, but not even sure anyone plays this game anymore 🤔, the official Facebook page ain't been updated since 2023 & I tried searching Facebook groups, but no one has accepted me invite yet, this game is so old I don't think anymore plays it anymore sadly, please give this game a big update to refresh it, you could even add some kpop stuff, like clothes & hair, please make this game popular again 🙏 ### 5/5 — it isn’t optimized in iphone11 *2024-12-05, version 1.0.91* im using iphone 11 and the screen doesn’t fit well ### 2/5 — Sad *2024-11-13, version 1.0.91* i’ve played it for years and invested money into it. but there was an issue on the developer’s end that made my account get locked and I can no longer trade items within the game. so all of the game money and items that i bought/accumulated in the game are use less as I cannot send or trade anything. so be keep in mind when investing real money into the game ### 2/5 — Love this game but… *2024-11-02, version 1.0.91* I’ve been playing this game for over 10 years now. It’s my favorite game ever but the only issue is how much accounts I have lost due to them not syncing to my Facebook account. I was having trouble opening the game because it kept crashing so I deleted the whole app and when I redownloaded it and used my email it kept making a whole new account and im so upset now because I lost all my hard earned progress and money I spent on the game ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-10-02, version 1.0.91* Just started Pet Buddies and loving playing, it’s very relaxing with so much do to. Unrelated to the game itself I ran into a problem that effected it but the developers helped me almost immediately so many many thanks to the Pet Buddies team I have never received support like that in any other game I’ve played many, many thanks 😎 ### 5/5 — Pet Buddies *2024-09-08, version 1.0.91* I’ve been playing for eight years…that says it all!! It’s must game for the whole family. Love, love, LOVE this game and you will too🥰❣️‼️ ### 5/5 — Pet Buddies *2024-08-22, version 1.0.90* Love this app. You can play for free or choose to purchase items for your pet or decorating rooms for your pet. This game is entertaining, interactive, and relaxing. You play on your own pace and aren’t bothered by a ton of adds. It’s one of the very few games I play daily. Highly recommend! Been playing this game a long time, my pet just urged turned 9 in July of 2024. I still love it. There are a ton of FB groups for this game, you can play games, win prizes, and make new friends. We have our own little community! Join us! ### 5/5 — Amazing game and community *2024-08-15, version 1.0.90* I have been playing Pet Buddies consistently for 10+ years. Val and his crew are on top of the game from day 1. Any issues I have had with the game Val answers within the day or two, and solves any problems; which does not happen often but when it does, communication is top tier. There is a huge facebook community within the players of the game, and it is full of generous gifters/traders. You never get bored of this game, you dont run out of coins and have endless shopping options. Val drops new rooms EVERY WEEK! Every Wednesday I wake up ready to see whats new. Rare items that you can only get from groups, always fun promotions going on. You do not need to spend a penny on this game to have fun, but Im happy with buying new packages that come out every week. Val and crew earned and deserve any support I can give. Its rewarding enough to me to spend some money here and there. Thank you Val and crew. ### 5/5 — 8 years *2024-07-23, version 1.0.89* I started playing when I was a child on the good old computer, then I accidentally forgot details. I then restarted in 2016 and has been the best game! It’s been a good old 8 years and still play this game after work. I love the content and how involved the community is. I’ve always loved to decorate especially with other games like the Sims, but this game opens up your own imagination with different themes. I love how Disney princesses are in this game and now a Barbie version! It’s made me be able to make new friends from across the world, and I have met a very good friend from the USA! Thank you Pet Buddies ❤️ ### 5/5 — Cutest funnest pet game out *2024-07-16, version 1.0.88* If you miss pet society or fluff friends this game is amazing. So many themed releases, and so much fun to play. A definite stress reliever!!! ### 5/5 — My favorite game! *2024-06-28, version 1.0.87* I’ve been playing this game since it was first released and the only reason I haven’t switched from an iPhone to an android. I hope one day it’s available on android, but for now I’m just happy I get to chill with this game on my rare moments of downtime or I’m stuck at the airport. It’s so fun! There’s a new release every week and after a few years it’s built up quite the collection of fun things to decorate. Acquiring dollars can be difficult so about 1-2 times a year I spend the $20 for the weekly deal on items that reproduce more dollars. It’s so much more practical if you like playing regularly like I do. They more than pay for themselves x100 if you keep playing. Also Val is really helpful if anything goes wrong. Facebook wouldn’t let me re log in and he helped me until we got it resolved. I highly recommend if you love decorating and creating a cute little virtual dream world! ### 4/5 — Smaller pet *2024-06-20, version 1.0.87* Love pet buddies 💕 I was wondering if anyone knows how to make your pet smaller in size? I’ve seen other pets look smaller . I tried in the stylist store 🏬 but couldn’t do it. Thanks 😊 ### 5/5 — Love *2024-06-13, version 1.0.87* I absolutely love this game I’ve been playing now for 8yrs love my pet Buttons 💕🖤💕 ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2024-05-31, version 1.0.87* Since I was a child I’ve always loved dolls and dollhouses. So this is just the perfect game for me. I’ve met some great friends in this game. Also - and this is a big plus - the game has the best support team of any games I’ve played! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Missing Faces 😱 *2026-03-06, version 1.0.95* Doesn't open with new update..crashes..must be a bug, hopefully could be fixed 😊 thank you (⌒‿⌒) ### 1/5 — No head! *2026-02-18, version 1.0.94* Just downloaded this and when I start playing my pet has no head or no face 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — NEW GLITCH *2025-12-07, version 1.0.93* After the new update the head won’t load! I’ve tried resizing it over and over but that’s a temporary fix! As soon as you get out of the game, and go back in, the head disappears again! Please fix!! ### 1/5 — HELP!! *2025-11-29, version 1.0.93* I WOULD RATE IT HIGHER BUT MY PETS HEAD WONT LOAD!! :((( ### 1/5 — App crashes *2024-04-08, version 1.0.86* I’ve repeatedly reached out to creators on Facebook over and over again about app crashing. I’ve spent real money on app and can’t even play. I’ve gotten no response for almost a week. This is extremely frustrating. Happens on fiancés phone as well and it’s a completely different phone. ### 1/5 — My son gone *2024-03-21, version 1.0.85* First of all it was a good game dont get it twisted but it ruined my mood cause i was playing tryna buy the vampire buddy girl for my son then the game crashes i try to go and play again sign in with apple as always and i hadda restart like wassup with you developer fix your game ### 1/5 — Account blocked why? *2023-10-01, version 1.0.80* My account won’t let me do anything with it says it’s blocked but I haven’t done anything wrong , I’ve reached out and haven’t gotten any answers please help . ### 1/5 — Not f2p friendly *2023-08-20, version 1.0.80* Literally 70-80% of things need to be purchased with paid currency. Can’t even get a decent hairstyle for coins. Pet pals is so much better, have tons of options that are f2p, with top up purely optional for premium stuff. Deleted Edit: devs response show lack of empathy and understanding of feedback given. Maybe take a look at this pathetic cash grab of a game from a players perspective and see how ridiculous it is f2p wise instead of blaming players for their supposed lack of understanding and needing to “explain to you how to earn free currency”. Got friends to delete as well ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-06-11, version 1.0.79* I recently changed my cellphone to an Iphone 12, the app does not work and I have to delete it and download it again always so that I can play for at least 30 minutes. ### 1/5 — Locked out *2023-05-29, version 1.0.79* I have been logged out of the game and can not get back into the game. When I go to log back in it keeps trying to make me create a brand new pet! I don’t want a new pet! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Needs some kind of fix *2026-03-19, version 1.0.96* I love this game always will but it keeps closing on me!! ### 5/5 — Love!! *2026-03-18* I’ve been looking for this game for SO long, I could always remember the main aspects but never the name! Recently, I found it again and I’m so happy!! It’s such a sweet and cute game, I’d really love for it to become more active and maybe have a few more things to do, especially when you’re low on money lol. Thank you for keeping this game on for so long!! <3 ### 5/5 — Please fix I love this game *2026-03-08, version 1.0.95* I’ve loved this game since I was a kid I’m so thrilled that it’s still on the App Store one problem, I created a new pet but she glitched and doesn’t show up anymore and I’ve opened and closed the app several times. I’m giving it all 5 stars because it’s an amazing game I just have that one problem at the moment, please please fix if possible thank you!🩷 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-01-07, version 1.0.94* This game is stress relieving. Love it. ### 5/5 — This game saved my family! *2025-11-28, version 1.0.93* It’s fabulous ### 5/5 — Very calming but there’s a glitch *2025-11-16, version 1.0.93* I play this game before I go to bed because it leaves me feeling peaceful and fulfilled. There’s a weird thing going on with the hand soap item which I’m not sure is a glitch or not, but other than that this game has been a perennial favorite in my family for years. I recommend this to everyone! Except this one little glitch. My pets don’t have bodies. It’s just the hair and clothes. Even when I try to fix in the stylist part it never saves or fixes ### 5/5 — Very calming *2025-09-20, version 1.0.92* I play this game before I go to bed because it leaves me feeling peaceful and fulfilled. There’s a weird thing going on with the hand soap item which I’m not sure is a glitch or not, but other than that this game has been a perennial favorite in my family for years. I recommend this to everyone! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2025-08-27, version 1.0.92* Lots of fun ### 5/5 — Cute game *2025-08-23, version 1.0.92* I’m 25 and I love the game ### 5/5 — Pet Buddies is wonderful! *2024-12-09, version 1.0.92* Me and my sister have been playing for about 8 years and I love it! It’s always gotten frequent updates and unlike some games, there is still a lot of beautiful furniture to be bought without having to save up the special currency. Even so, it’s always exiting when you get enough tickets to purchase furniture or outfits you love! I adore the art style and can definitely tell a lot of care was put into every bit of the game. The music is also amazing! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
