I click on it but it doesn’t let me do anything with the rabbit ### 3/5 — 楽しいけど、、 *2026-08-14* 実績ウォーターボーイはどうやって達成するの？まず水を用意されてるから水を汲みに行く必要ないし、井戸あってもタップしてもなにもできない！！たすけて！！ ### 4/5 — Great game! But… *2026-08-10, version 5.7.6* I love this game and spend hours playing it! I love that it does not require Wi-Fi (Except to buy new animals which is a little annoying) and that you can buy new animals with coins alternatively to real money. However, I do wish there were less ads. Also, I have some suggestions! The first one is that maybe the animals could be worth more. It takes a while to save coins and one coin per animal is a bit annoying and gives no real benefit for buying new animals who should be worth more. So, Im thinking dogs and horses could be worth more and the starter animals, less! Also, the customer prompts get kind of old. Plus, with animals being worth more, customers can now have budgets! Similarly to the customer prompts, the animal’s sicknesses get a little old. Some new sicknesses like stomach aches, overweight, hangnails, etc, which leads into my last suggestion! Maybe animals could be pregnant! They would get special care and when they eventually have babies, you could name them yourself and put them for adoption in the shelter! This would add baby animals in the shelter we did not have before like baby bunnies, Guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs, cats, etc! Devs, I hope you see this! :) ### 3/5 — Its great *2026-08-07, version 5.7.6* Its so good and fun. But all they need to ad is that you dont have to buy the animals. ### 4/5 — Honest opinion *2026-08-07, version 5.7.6* I love this game so much I just wish the prices on the new animals was a tiny bit less I want to play but with the price it gets boring ### 3/5 — PLEASE READ THIS!!! *2026-07-22, version 5.7.6* This game is just kinda tiring. The same thing happens with every animal, and you just get bored like after 5 or 6 days of playing. Plus, the sound sometimes does not work after adds. The dogs and stuff are so hard to get because you have to pay so much in-game coins for them, and you don’t get a lot of those without buying them. Like no way I am going to spend 4 dollars just to get a virtual dog shelter, and I barely have any coins. Okay, I know, it is really hard to make a game, but it is just really confusing but thank you for making it anyway. Just PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Please help *2026-07-17, version 5.7.6* This game is so fun to play I paid for all of the animals and now when I sell all of them and the only ones I get are squirrels and goats. I have four animals at the most and it’s two squirrels too goats please help.L ### 3/5 — Noice *2026-07-08, version 5.7.6* So I really like this game but like why are the other animals soooooo expensive. Like the cats and dogs are like 300 coins and you only get 1-2 coins each time someone buys an animal it’s insane. Other than paying the workers (u and me playing the game) less than minimum wage and the price of other animals the game is pretty good. ### 4/5 — How to improve your game… *2026-07-02, version 5.7.6* I write this review now as a young adult, but I remember first playing this game when I was around 8 or 9 years old. I recently downloaded it, and the passion, love, and consistency I once felt when I was younger, has come back. I love this game, but it has so much potential that can make it 1000x better than how it is now. I will list several suggestions :) 1) ANIMALS INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER: When I release the animals outside to play in the grass, at least the bunnies, goats, sheep’s, they don’t interact with one another. So it gets quite sad-looking, something as sincere as having them play with one another will liven up the game. 2) GIVING US THE ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE OUR SHELTER: Sometimes when I open the game, it can feel very repetitive, seeing the same map, over…and..over…again. A better way to add more engagement to this game, is allowing your users to actually re-theme the entire shelter to their own liking. If that’s too much, then you should make a variety of different shelters so that the users can save up their coins and buy a different shelter. This will elevate the game as a whole! 3) ALLOWING US TO DECORATE, buy toys for PENS/CAGES/STABLES: This will allow the users to feel more attachment to the animals, because I think what ends up happening. Is that we don’t really see the animals, as animals. Our objective has been to make sure their status is always at green, which over-time becomes extremely repetitive…and gloomy. But allowing users to decorate or add toys will better the bond between the users and its animals. 4) CREATING AN ONLINE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE GAME: You might be familiar with this, as many games have the option to make online friends, or other people so that you can visit their map. In this case, you should allow people to friend one another, or simply give us the option to make our shelter private or public so that we can visit other shelters. And maybe gift other people animals, or other sorts of gifts. It can strengthen the community of this game!~ 5) ADD MORES ANIMALS!!!!!!!! That’s all I could think of for now! Developer if you end up reading this, or whoever— I really do hope you take this into consideration and make this into a reality! Because this game has so much potential, and I pray that you see the potential that I see. ### 5/5 — Нормально *2026-06-22* Рекламы мало а животных много 👍 ### 5/5 — AMAZING 🤩 *2026-06-20, version 5.7.6* This game is so fun but I think you should not have to pay 💰 for the dogs and cats or hedgehogs 🦔 But I definitely recommend this game and you could work on the less AI people that want a pet ### 5/5 — Love *2026-06-17, version 5.7.6* Super fun and relaxing absolutely my favorite app ### 4/5 — just something *2026-06-15, version 5.7.6* It is kinda good but when I got to someone, he said he owned a sanctuary and when I gave him a iguana it was not suitable? BRO IT IS A SANTUARY, then a pig, but still not suitable, then a squirrel but still not. BUT WHEN I DID THE FOX IT WORKED, BRO WHAT IS THIS LOGIC CHANGE THIS. ### 5/5 — Chef bumcheeks *2026-06-15, version 5.7.6* Love it ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-06-09, version 5.7.6* So I LOVE this game….so far. I had this game on my other device and I loved it but honestly it’s kinda boring. Could you add something to make it a little better. Like baby animals! That would be so cute. Thank you have a blessed day ### 5/5 — This is peak *2026-06-08, version 5.7.6* Nice game worked really hard on it 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — 10/10 but *2026-06-05, version 5.7.6* Ok so it’s amazing and all but why do you have to buy all the other animals? I mean I love the bunnies rabbits gunia pigs and the hamster but why do you have to buy all the other animals? I had this game on my tablet and I got all the animals for FREE! Why aren’t they free anymore? You need to make more free animals! I kept getting this guy who kept asking for a foal and I didn’t have any! He kept coming every single day and I had to keep dismissing him! And it was just getting annoying. Last night when I got it I was playing for hours. And there were NO dogs and then I just started crashing out and almost thew my iPhone at the wall! So I started saving my game money for a dog. Also why is it so expensive? I’m not trying to be a Karen about the game I am 11. One more thing why do the bunnies take so long to one carrot? ### 4/5 — Love this game but I have some update ideas to make it better *2026-06-03, version 5.7.6* Ok this game is really fun but the problem is it’s very repetitive it would be more fun if there was some kind of waiting room system so people come in to adopt pets also maybe make it easier to get coins because it takes very very long to get enough coins to put any decorations down also I would love it if you added more decorations and made the pet shop very customizable :D [Edit: It would also be really fun to be able to interact more with the animals like playing games with them. PS. In game it says “colts” which are male foals this would mean that you can only have male foals. Sorry if I am wrong about that. Also maybe ad workers to help around] ### 4/5 — Bug I’ve noticed *2026-06-01, version 5.7.6* I’ve been playing this game for years since I was in middle school. I find it so relaxing to play when I’m bored and it’s just fun to take care of animals. I reinstalled the game a week ago (because I stopped playing for a while and ended up missing it lol) and I noticed a bug where if you try to use toys to play with the animals when they’re outside, it disappears causing the animal to glitch out of the area. And there’s an achievement involved with playing with animals outside. That’s all I’ve noticed. All in all, this is one of my favorite games ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — GIVE EM BACK *2026-07-19, version 5.7.6* Yo I bought the dog, cat and lamb pack with my hard earn coins (through watching a ton of ads) and now they’re all gone. Explain that….. ### 1/5 — From Lucy *2026-04-03, version 5.7.6* This game is so good because it teaches u responsibility ### 1/5 — Do not get this game if u are looking for a good game *2026-02-16, version 5.7.6* It was fun for like an hour but then I got all the animals and then the game had no point and when I went to start a new game profile I STILL HAD ALL THE ANIMALS THAT WHERE IN MY OLD PROFILE so I wish we could have a way to completely start over and another thing the ads are soooooo repetitive and I wish if we have to watch them please be something other than a Macdonald happy meal ad and I wish we could interact with the animals more than just brushing them but for the first hour I guess it was kind of fun so if u want about an hour of mediocre fun get this game ### 1/5 — Long Treatment Times *2026-01-16, version 5.7.6* I wish I could of enjoyed this game more. The treatments for the animals takes forever. Even with one full day in real time, i’m still stuck on the same day with the same animals in treatment. I like the concept of the game, just not how it’s set up. Please correct this so I can redownload the app to play in the future. ### 1/5 — READ THIS *2025-10-13, version 5.7.6* To many in game lurches and you pretty much can’t play unless you have money ### 1/5 — Purchased pets disappear *2025-09-14, version 5.7.6* I had this game a few years back, had unlocked quite a few pets then one day they just disappeared and I had to purchase them again. I thought it was a bug, deleted the game and moved on. I decided to download it again for old times sake, and same thing happened. So yeah no, definitely don't recommend the game. You can grind it for days, weeks whatever but your pets just randomly remove themselves. All that time for literally nothing. ### 1/5 — I want my purchases back *2025-08-27, version 5.7.6* My sister deleted this game when I was away and when I re downloaded it all my purchases were erased! You need to add a restore purchases button and give me my money back or restore my purchases please! ### 1/5 — This is the worst game ever do not downloaded *2025-08-08, version 5.7.6* Lycra so I when I was downloading it I said I couldn’t download it because I didn’t have enough space games and I could have to download it download it download it and it didn’t work well it’s not because of this account it’s because my phone but even if I did it it looks really cool and I wish I could download it because it’s like I love animals and I really wish I could download game so it’s really cool please download it just made me don’t download it if you have too much games have enough storage cousin doesn’t work download it download it download it download it download it download it download Apsley banish yeah it’s just really phone your download it and I’m just gonna keep doing this I cover at the hospital but you download it download and I love blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah return return return return return return return return return blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Lala Lala blah blah Lala Lala Lala because I’m gonna sing a song and I write I am I’ve been reading books of old the legends and miss uglies and is going to give me that gives in Spider-Man intro and Ben and with his face angry I don’t see well loving you is the best thing ever ever so before you go is there something I could to get your heart so on fire something that could really really change your mind so before so before you go I are loving you is a losing game so so now you’re in the starts at 6 feet never felt so far I don’t want to say goodbye go to swimming tomorrow forever LOLLOLLOL so loving you is a losing girl she’s a she’s all I want to be I want to be so God so glad she’s another want to be all I want to be so sad she doesn’t want to be she’s all I want to be so losing girl the end myself or Brianna is here Siri you wanna go how much you wanna risk I’m not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts some superhero some fairytale best just someone I can turn to somebody I can guess you’re on an island no I want something just like this do do do do do do do do do or I want something just like this just just just then just like and I am in the never never felt so far because I don’t want to say goodbye to someone means forever and now you’re in the stars of 6 feet never felt so far because I don’t want to say goodbye because this one means forever and ever LOL laugh out loud please download this I’m sorry that you have to read all this just read it all should die so yeah bye ### 1/5 — READ THIS I AM MAD 🤬😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 *2025-07-27, version 5.7.6* first off I have this game as a little kid all free and then now you have to pay 20 bucks to get all the animals or have to spend 75 to 400 game box to get the animals and I’m telling you it’s impossible to save up that high and then it’s not just this game it’s all the games they make and they just decide to give you three animals which is boring so change this or I’m never playing one of your games again and I don’t think you guys should🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — SCAMMED *2025-07-02, version 5.7.6* I just started playing yesterday and I bought the $9.99 dollar pack with 550 coins when I paid for it I reset and reset over and over again still nothing… to the people that made this game GIVE ME MY 550 COINS I PAID FOR! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love pet world *2026-08-19, version 5.7.6* This game is lit ### 5/5 — I ❤️ THIS GAMMMEEEE *2026-08-01, version 5.7.6* It’s a great game and I luv that u can use virtual currency to buy new animals and not just have to pay in real money would definitely recommend 😁😀😆😄😃👏🙌❤️💙💜💗🖤💛💖💞💚❣️💓💘🤟💟🩷🤎🤍🩶🩵❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥☺️<3 ### 5/5 — AMAZING but… *2026-07-31, version 5.7.6* I think the prices for the animals are quite realistic but for a game I would really appreciate it if you could lower the prices accept for that it’s amazing all the animals are adorable and I wanna hug them so much.Thank you sincerely for reading my review and have a lovely day.
