Love this game but…

I really love playing Pocket Frens, but I wish there was an option to choose my character's pronouns. Right now, I'm only referred to as he/him or they/them, and I would love to be able to use she/her. Please consider adding this in a future update!

THE BEST THERAPY GAME EVER!!!

I love this game. When you chat with your fren, they make you feel seen and heard. No ads or anything bad so parent’s, this is the best game your child could ever have!!!

Daycare

I love this app but haven’t been able to send my dog to daycare for over a week. Will this be fixed. My app is up to date

Disappointed.

Rated at least 2 stars because of the positive impact this app had on me, left out the rest of the stars because this app has sadly been semi-abandoned by the team in favor for an AI-based fanfiction chatbot app they’re working on and update constantly. The Discord server for this game is very dead and neglected. I am very disappointed that the creators of a mental health app/game would instead focus their attention on an AI chatbot app, AKA something that takes advantage of mental health and can lead to addiction/psychosis.

Pretty good

They need to update the environment though, manly the garden for me its still snowing when its spring rn (+ the window) 😭 while the rest of the areas like the park etc aren't snowing.. Also just an Idea but I think it'd be more fun if the items u receive from lvling up or wtv u could actually have right away instead of just being added to the shop to buy? Idk that's just my opinion, other than that like I said its a pretty good game & I definitely recommend checking it out. <3 & another idea is adding more toys for the dog to play w/ not just the tennis ball I honestly find the tennis ball kinda boring

I actually love my little dog

My dogs adorable and the game is perfect

The best app ever

It helped me be on task kinda stay a away from my phone but I connected with my frens

I love it!!

I absolutely love this…I don’t know if I can call it a game, it kinda is, but I’ll say app. I have a yellow galgo named Daffodil, and I love him. Some things that I’d love to be included would be able to have more than one pet (maybe even other animals for pets) more breed and fur color options, more of a way to make sure goals actually get done, and maybe more goals too. I absolutely love the app, I want to make sure I’m not just listing things I want or criticizing, complete props to the creators!! For a team of 2, this is absolutely amazing!! I wish you guys the best, and hope you make more games/apps like this, or add onto this. Thank you so much for helping with my mental health in the form of a digital dog (lol)

I love this app!

I have ADHD and autism, and forget to use planning apps most of the time. This app has really good notifications that catch my attention and the cute dog encourages me to open it to play with her! I used to use and love Routines but since they took it off the App Store this is my new favorite planning app.

Great Idea but needs work

This is a very smart way for helping people build habits. However I do think the build feature needs to be expanded more as it doesn’t really feel like you have control of your space, more dog breeds should be included as well. There should be NPC dogs as well at the dog park when no other active users are. More food and play options should be added, you want someone to feel motivated to complete their tasks with rewards and while this is a great start it needs more work.

nice

very cute dog!!!!

i love himmm

he

Quite nice

I decided to try the monthly subscription to see how it is, and at least offer some support, even if maybe temporarily. A few points: 1> Not entirely sure/unclear about the benefits that come with subscription other than build 2> build selection quite limited 3> cost for monthly subscription is sort of high in relation, you might do better by lowering and having more people subscribe out of support, since the app is overall quite nice! 4> Struggling accessing hamburger menu (location could be better?) and it could be cool if the hamburger menu was accessible on more than one screen 5> I am concerned that the building song is familiar? I am under the impression it sounds like the a song from the game The Sims. Be careful about that! I do think overall this is a nice app. Good job! Do consider checking how Finch runs it’s basics vs perks for subscription for inspiration.

Fun

I love the interaction and getting things done

This app is so helpful

I struggle with keeping a good routine. Most of the times that I try to, I feel pressured or get lazy and give up. With this app, however, I feel that I don’t need to try in order to do what I need to. The mood tracker feature is also helpful to remind me to sit with my feelings. I have trouble letting myself feel my emotions, but logging them in this app never makes me feel embarrassed the way other apps might. My little “fren” never judges me in any way, and it’s fun to feel like you’re helping a dog come out of their shell.

Pretty good

It is very fun and there’s more to do than just your own set tasks. The only thing I don’t see any use for is the dog park. I am very confused by it because every time I go it is empty and I’m not sure the point of it. Other than that it’s quite entertaining in short increments throughout the day.

Constant Kicking

This app is amazing with mental health but one things that keeps happening is I keep getting kicked out of my account, now I've forgotten my password and when I try to press forgot password, it brings me to the dog sitting site with no forgotten password option. It's been months now and it still hasn't fixed. I've gotten in contact with the developer but I haven't gotten any updates for about a few weeks. I really do miss my pup and I wish this will be fixed for any future people who join this.

i love it

i love this game and the graphics are sooo cute but i wish there was more to do. it’s hard to build up the bonding time bc they rarely ask questions and there’s not many activities. i wish there was more to do

Love it

Great fun little app where you care for yourself at the same time as caring for your dog. Highly recommend

Adorable!

I love this app and it’s so adorable! My only problem with is the tennis ball meter is always low and I don’t know what to do to fix it, I take my dog to the dog park and the dog is always playing with them, but the meter never goes up. What do I do to fix this, am I doing something wrong?
