### 1/5 — Does not work

*2019-08-14, version 1.2*

I have an Apple Watch. I downloaded the app to my iPhone then launched it. The app then says you must have an Apple Watch paired and the app installed on the Apple Watch... so I went to the watch app to double check that my watch was still paired then I went down the list of apps to make sure this app was turned on for my watch. However this app isn’t even listed in my app list in the Apple Watch app so I have no way to download it to my watch. Because of this, this app
Is completely useless. I had high hopes too because of the reviews. Simply put - this app
Is broken and does not work.

**Developer response:** Hi GSTLJohnny, I'm sorry to hear that you were experiencing issues getting PetriPet to work with your Apple Watch.  If you are willing to give it another shot, it sounds to me like your watch may not have met the minimum requirements for PetriPet to install.  It does require watchOS 5.2 or later.  If you are able to update your watch and use the Watch app on your iPhone to ensure that PetriPet is installed on your watch, I think you will have great success.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2022-04-14, version 1.3*

It’s pretty good but it’s buggy and I have no clue how to make my pets health fill up without a purchase. If the bugs got fixed I wouldn’t mind maybe making a purchase on this app but as it is now it’s pretty buggy and I’m not sure if it’s gonna work in the long run. Sad but will probably never be fixed as the dev hasn’t updated the app since iOS 13 and as of now we are in iOS 15.

### 3/5 — Yes

*2019-09-27, version 1.2*

Can not level it up. The training bar is all the way up but it will not level up. Otherwise this game is fun

**Developer response:** Hi CheezIt, thanks for the review and I'm glad you are enjoying PetriPet.  Regarding level up, your pet will level up as it ages.  The Training bar will give you a splice bonus where you will be able to change your pet's DNA the next time it does level up.  So if your pet is say age 6 right now, when enough time passes for it to reach age 7, a full training bar will result in a free DNA splice so you can change your pet's color, shape, and other physical features.  Enjoy!

### 5/5 — PetriPet - Virtual Pet

*2019-04-09, version 1.1*

This game has been so much fun. You grow your pet from a PetriPet dish and wait and see which pet you’ll get. You can splice in DNA changes and as the pet grows you can put fun outfits on him or toys. So much fun! Now we’ll see if I can keep him alive as well as my tamagotchi...

### 5/5 — Miss having a Tamagotchi?? This is the best replacement!

*2019-03-06, version 1.0*

Have you been looking for a tamagotchi type pet for your Apple Watch since getting one? ME TOO. I’ve tried other apps, but none work the way this one does. Other apps most of the game play is on the phone, not on the watch! This is the first I’ve seen that has the game play on the watch. It’s a fun game with a science aspect where you can splice DNA as you feed, clean, and take care of your pet!
