### 5/5 — PIKMANIA

*2026-11-01, version 156.0*

THIS APP HELPS ME KEEP OFF A HUNDRED POUNDS

### 5/5 — Peak

*2026-11-01, version 156.0*

It’s peak

### 5/5 — 5th Year playing, Luvin’ it!

*2026-11-01, version 156.0*

Honestly as a OG-player from day one, I can say the motivation to Walk is amazing.  Next to PokemonGO it’s my lifeline from one day to the next.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-11-01, version 156.0*

This game is honestly pretty nice, I don't play this as much as I used to but it is quite enjoyable, if you're a Pikmin fan, don't expect some experience like the real games, it is more about collecting Pikmins and destroying mushrooms. My main complaint is that it has felt too microtransaction based, I don't think i could get anything unless I pay but what do I expect from a F2P game. Anyway I do think it's worth checking out

### 1/5 — Cheating reporting and no action

*2026-10-31, version 156.0*

Pikmin Bloom is supposed to encourage walking and exploring, but suspected GPS spoofing undermines the experience for players who follow the rules. I’ve submitted multiple reports with screenshots, player names, levels, locations, dates, and times, yet I haven’t seen a clear improvement.

The lack of visible action or meaningful communication is frustrating. Please take cheating reports seriously and improve enforcement so legitimate players can enjoy a fair game.

### 5/5 — PEAK

*2026-10-31, version 156.0*

This lovely game has only made my life better. I get cute Pikmin and sorta a way to track how my life has been with the little “How was your day?” Thing. You just pick from blue sad face, tan okay face, and yellow smiley face and it goes on a little calendar I love it. It’s like Pokémon Go minus a lot of the gambling so it’s a lot more laid back and just focused on the Pikmin, walking, and. Yourself. The game definitely has some bugs, none that I’ve seen being game-breaking though. They’re typically kinda funny.

### 3/5 — I dont have a nintendo account

*2026-10-31, version 156.0*

I always wanted this app but i can’t use because i don’t have a nintendo account.

### 2/5 — Please update the game. It’s code rotting.

*2026-10-30, version 156.0*

Recently the game has been breaking more and more for me. It started with increased loading times. But now I can’t even do the daily recap due to the mood Pikmin not spawning. Please fix this before the code rots further.

### 1/5 — I can’t log in anymore after a year

*2026-10-29, version 156.0*

Devastated. I’m obsessed with this game

### 5/5 — About this cool game

*2026-10-28, version 156.0*

Sooooooo these Pikmin kinda cute 
So cool l love it I was in Florida too and my rock Pikmin took 19 days to get back to me very long.
