Option to feed pet

I wish one of the actions was to feed your pet a treat or meal. That action would add more emotional connection to caring for my pet. Otherwise, the app is nice, and the animations are adorable!

Response from developer

Thanks for the idea! Glad you're enjoying the app :)

Cute little pixel pals!

I love that my little pixel pets are on my watch, always with me, though I do wish I could play with them on my phone from time to time. A fun addition might be to have each pet emote a heart or smiley face at random when you interact with it.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review! Love your ideas. Will take into consideration :)

Brad‘s review

Is there a way just to have it on iPhone and can the buttons be more clearly labeled like for example, specifically like button walk button play button? Can you guys make an iPhone app?

Response from developer

Thank you for the review and suggestions! We’ll take your feedback into consideration.

Cute

Super cute app! No frills, and no subscription, which is so rare and so great. One little comment, it looks a bit weird that the pet is floating over the scene, e.g. forest. I think the character should be better integrated into the background. Still lovely.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! Will take that into consideration for future updates. =)

Perfectly Simple

Great app! Works very well! Love all the colors & sounds. I also enjoy that it’s time based. There should be an option to take your pet on a walk if you do an “outdoor walk, etc” on work outs or earn coins walking. Also too… it’s called Pixel Paws & there are (NO DOGS!) There are two that look like a dog, but it’s a fox.
