### 4/5 — Simple and fun

*2026-06-08*

I’m always (ALWAYS) looking for a game that gamifies life. 

NO app has yet managed to bridge the gap between life and games in a way which is intuitive, simple and fun. 

This game gets so very close. It does soooooo much right! Apple Watch support, no in app payments, unlockable. 

Id lovely to see the ability to upgrade the existing items instead of planting new seeds repeatedly. 

A challenge list with achievements to unlock would also be cool, like a gardening book of sorts. 

Walk one milks unlock the “adventure badge”. Plants one of every flower to unlock the “green finger badge”

You get the idea.

### 5/5 — Fun and Cute

*2025-09-19*

Love the art style and the one time buy feature. Helps keep me engaged with walking. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Nearly Perfect

*2025-07-01, version 1.0.3*

I love this game. Ever since I was recommended it 5 months back i’ve been constantly monitoring my garden to make it as nice as possible. There are hardly any things i’d like to see change as it’s nearly perfect. Though a couple minor issues would be that I do get the occasional miscalculation of my steps, so I sometimes lose out on them, though it rarely happens. Besides that, my only annoyance i find is the lack of expansion per level up of the world tree. My world tree is only level 37, but I have a lot of placed things since i monitor the app so frequently as to not miss out on steps for new purchases. Because of this, i find myself completely cramped up in my world. Struggling to make space despite efforts to organise my garden. Hopefully, the developers increase the expansion rate per level. However, despite this, I adore this game and would highly recommend anyone who’s interested in walking or trying to find purpose in getting out and about for some light exercise. So thank you development team :3

### 5/5 — Beautiful way to make us move

*2025-06-15*

I’m in love with the game! But I must point that there’s a problem with the counting of steps to the newly planted seeds… maybe if you register the step in which the new thing was added to the garden and calculate the difference between the present step and the step when the object was added… I don’t know. The cheap things are ok, but the expensive ones do frustrate me. I do recommend the app anyway! It’s beautiful and to see the new things being added one by one makes the effort worthwhile!

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2025-06-10*

It’s the only app I’ve tried that actually motivates me to walk. I love seeing my little garden grow! 💜

### 5/5 — Cutest app ever !

*2025-01-03*

This game is so adorable and immediately encouraged me to start walking, I went and told my friends and they love it too! 
We really wish there was a feature where we could be friends in app and track each other’s progress/visit each other’s gardens, that would be that much more encouraging, cute and maybe even add a little competition ;). 
I hope you take this addition into concideration! Otherwise amazing app and concept thank you!

### 5/5 — Приложение очень хорошее

*2024-11-21*

Очень классное, но есть маленькая проблема. Не могу понять это только у меня или нет, но, когда расширяется карта, то исчезают реки 😭 Можно их как то оставить?

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте,
Большое спасибо за ваш отзыв!
Извините за возникшую проблему. Не могли бы вы написать нам на почту seele.games@gmail.com, чтобы мы могли разобраться с этой ошибкой?

С уважением,

### 4/5 — So satisfying 😌

*2024-10-28*

Absolutely love this app so far! It’s very satisfying to see my garden grow and i love the pixilated art style/cute animations. It feels so nostalgic 🥰. I only wish that there was a way to flip/mirror items to further customize the space - 
A gem of an app

**Developer response:** Hi ChazLaraz,
Thank you so much for your review! It means the world to us.

Kind regards,
Seele Games
