This is a really good app and I love doing crossbreeds and breeding but some breeding takes forever so if u could shorten the time thanks! Also please add more crossbreeds and more animals because I think more more animals would make the game PERFECT! But the game is still amazing I’m just saying some suggestion huge thanks though if you can do that and another huge thanks to the developer(s) for making the app <3 🐾 🐶 ### 3/5 — Fun but needs updates *2022-06-15, version 2.8* I’ve been playing this game for months, I’ve completed all the tasks and got every cat and dog except poodle and Scottish fold since I don’t have enough gems, I’ve also bred every pet I have twice (except Maltese since I only have one). Now, I don’t know what to do. Gems are really hard to get because you have to play days in a row just to get one, there should be more ways to get them. A few dogs I wish were in the game are golden retrievers, basenjis, shiba inus, chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and MUCH more. There should also be more cats. I would also like an exotic pet that costs coins rather than gems. ### 3/5 — Love the game but sad ending *2022-06-07, version 2.8* Hi so I just want to start out saying that I love this game it was so much fun playing, but for some random reason I tried playing the game and it just kept loading so I waited a few days I even restarted my iPad but it would stop so I started to think maybe it was the app so I deleted and downloaded it again and played but when I got the the middle of the game after playing a few days it HAPPENED AGAIN 😡😡😢😢. Anyway i don’t know if it happened to anyone else but I eventually deleted it I just wanted to let you know please try and fix it for other people if it happens to them. Thanks!! ### 3/5 — Ok it’s kinda good *2021-12-28, version 2.8* I love this game! Awesome, has so many breeds. Love it, better than a lot of games like the one I just previously reviewed, saying how this was all a lot better than that one. So yeah I love it so much! Anyone who reading this review, it’s a great game. Worth every penny (although that’s just a saying, I’ve never actually done an in app purchase, I think the only one is more gems) so yeah it’s great but I think the dogs should cost a little less, like the poodle. Although I find poodles EXTREMELY unattractive, cross breed with poodles are absolutely adorable. The only problem is, the petting the dogs. They are all so finicky about where they’re being pet! The only dogs who don’t do this are my border collies (I love you, Cookie) (cookie is my first dog/border collie). So yeah they are all so Judgey where I pet them. If I pet them in the wrong spot, they’re happiness goes down and it gets me really stressed! I don’t want them to be unhappy, I want them to be as happy as could be! But if I pet them in the wrong spot, they aren’t. Only does their happiness go up if I pet them in the EXACT Right spot! Please fix! ### 4/5 — Please fix this! *2021-10-12, version 2.8* OK so I love the game yes there is one problem I can’t get gems easier OK so you got exotic animals there’s like things that cost like 65 gems I only get two gems if you’re lucky enough to get that quest now I understand you want to make the game fun and hard but please us kids we can’t do offers like that yes I am a nine-year-old I can do the offers yeah I have an email blah blah blah but seriously I understand that you want to make the game how can I say this you want to make it fun and adorable which is it is adorable but I really want more animals and I want to make money faster considering I hate the games you have to wait hours and minutes and time freezes to get things done I hate those games but this game is more fun there’s a lot of things to do in it so I give it four stars I understand this is a long review but I hope you read it have a blessed day and please fix this thank you❤️ ### 3/5 — I got mad read why *2020-11-13, version 2.8* When I first got the app it was totally fine it was actually quite fun I had three pets but then I was curious what was storage in edit in the app then so I pressed it and then my pet disappeared so I only have two pets left and that was very disappointing because I have no idea how to get my pet back from storage and iPad storage again I Was wondering how to open so I pressed it thinking it would open there would be a patter was wondering how to open so I pressed it thinking it would open there would be a pet in it but then it took me another one of my pets and I was so sad because I have no idea how to put it back where it was in my in my place so I only had one pet and so I deleted it because I was really upset and I just got it again a few minutes after and wish me luck that it doesn’t do it again 😡😢😊 ### 1/5 — So disappointed *2020-07-14, version 2.8* We got this game and my son was very excited. He worked all week so that he could earn a purchase for this game. When we told him we would get him extra gems he was very excited. We bought three sets of five dollars worth of gems. We never got them. I emailed the company since you can’t call, took a long time to hear back only to be told that they would not refund and we could have gems for another game. This was not acceptable . Not that it mattered as this game had already crashed multiple times and my son couldn’t play it anyway. Be careful of any in app purchases and make sure you don’t need customer support! I’m all for supporting business but not when they refuse to refund for a product you bought and never received. My son was very sad. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2020-05-21, version 2.8* Awesome app I love this game it is sooooooooooooooooooooooo fun and I just love it but the game one time sed downloading update #1 and then it was like that for more than a month and I had to delet the app and download the app agin but other then that it is really really fun and awesome I recommend it to animal lover’s like me if you could fix the #1 thing but I looooove this app and I found something that I did not like. So one of my puppies got sick and I wanted to pay for the medicine but it would not let me I hade to pay with gems and it took all of my gems but ### 3/5 — old bug still needs fixing *2020-02-11, version 2.8* Hey! So I loved Pet City when I was younger, and I had some free storage on my boring phone so I decided to download it again. It was going really good and I got really invested into the game like I had before. Until a pop-up on the screen stopped me from playing the game. It said “Content Update,” and below it read “content downloading #1” with a loading sign below it. Now, I thought it was just processing the process I had done on the game, and I waited a bit for it to do its thing before I got back on. However, I’ve been waiting all day and the screen has not gone away. I’ve looked it up on sites and all I get is old questions from 2013, so if you could fix this or at least tell me how to get the pop-up out the way please tell me. Thank you, and cya later.👋 ## Frequently asked questions about Pet City ### What is Pet City? Pet City is a simulation game where you run your own virtual pet shop.
