### 1/5 — Scam.

*2026-04-02, version 2.0.5*

When you open the app, it asks you what pet you want and what background you want and then it completely disregards all of that and tells you you have to pay for any of the decent cool animals/backgrounds.. what’s the point?? it’s Really seems like all of these apps are just massive scams. They know exactly what animals people want to pick. They design some animals as Cute and others as not and it’s always the free ones that are not.. this does not make me want to pay for your app at all. It actually makes me angry and now I simply want to delete your app because you’re trying to scam me and you made it look like I could get the panda when I couldn’t.

### 5/5 — Hi
