I played the game where it has the same mechanics but with horrible graphics and isn’t even pleasant to play. Unless this game get a complete revamp, in both looks and functionality, wouldn’t recommend ### 5/5 — Like Pet Hotel *2023-05-14* Played Pet Hotel years ago and loved it until they in longer supported the app. Was happy to find Pet Island to play with let’s once again! ### 5/5 — Wish they’d update *2023-03-11, version 37.0.0* I love this game, I had to start from new, which I didn’t mind. But it’s not allowing me to create an account. They also haven’t updated the animals or anything else since I last played, several years ago. Please come back and update this! ### 1/5 — Upsetting *2023-01-19, version 37.0.0* Was really missing playing tap pet hotel so I decided to try this but it’s just not the same :( ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-01-16* I LOVE this game. I used to play Tap Pet Hotel about 12 years ago when I was little and it was my favorite game until thy removed it. Every few years I would remember that game and try finding a new updated one in the App Store. Well the other day I thought of it again so I searched up on the App Store and this game popped up so I downloaded it. It’s literally exactly the same game!!! I’m so happy I I finally get to play this game again 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 ### 3/5 — Difficult to get hearts *2023-01-12* Difficult to get hearts without spending money. Fun game to play ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2022-10-30* I love this app my cousin made me get it so I did and I loved it! I’ve only been playing 2 days and I’m on level 11! But it was not so great until I found out you could move your pets!Lol😅So then I had way more room! You have to try this game it’s super cute and fun but it is hard to get gems just to warn you! ### 5/5 — New Levels Please!! *2022-08-17, version 37.0.0* I’m near level 40 and would love more levels and animals please!! That would be great (especially a wolf!) ## Frequently asked questions about Pet Island ### What is Pet Island – Build Breed Grow about?
