### 2/5 — please change breed time

*2026-08-16, version 3.20.1*

once you get to level 7+, the breeding and maturing stage of the current frogs takes so long I can’t even imagine when i’m higher level. it makes you start to lose interest when it starts taking over 12 hours to hatch one egg

### 3/5 — Used to love this game…

*2026-08-10, version 3.20.1*

Used to love this game but they (imo) ruined it with the no time traveling there’s over 40k frogs idc if it’s considered cheating how do you expect people to want to keep playing the game when you have to wait about a month to even dex a single breed let alone complete the whole froggydex im ngl I’ve lost interest after that update :/

### 4/5 — fun

*2026-07-24, version 3.20.1*

good game but why did u add the sell all frogs button in a place where ppl might accidentally click it. i don’t wanna sell them all i don’t want that button anywhere near the other buttons

### 4/5 — Mythical frogs too iffy to get unless you pay for them

*2026-07-01, version 3.19.3*

I’ve been playing this game on and off for years. I love the game. Even purchased the VIP package. I’m just not liking the Mythical frog mechanic though. I don’t like spending all my time at the pond, hoping to find one, only for the slight chance of obtaining one through the iffy breeding system.  I don’t have that much patience. And why should I pay to get any of these frogs? I don’t like that either.

### 4/5 — Fun game but needs more habitats

*2026-06-27, version 3.19.3*

I played this years ago on my iPod and suddenly remembered it and redownloaded. I love that there are no ads popping up, and that it is something you can play or forget about for a while without all your progress going away. The only thing I would really love to change is the habitats. I would like an unlimited number of habitats and to be able to buy them whenever you want, not just when you level up. I would like my habitats to look like the froggydex! Plus it is hard to complete the different sets and awards with limited space. That detail alone could make me stop playing because habitats get full and there isn’t much else you can do.

### 3/5 — Good, but needs improvement

*2026-06-25, version 3.19.3*

Overall, this game is relaxing and is a really fun collectors game, however. I feel like that adding a level 50 frog after level 40 frogs is a huge jump and such a power creep. Especially since time travel is removed and making XP quite difficult to farm and it makes it difficult to catch up

### 5/5 — Classic game, but needs new environments and limited edition frogs

*2026-06-21, version 3.19.3*

Pocket frogs is very fun. But I wish there were more colors or color mixing, like how Tempero combines colors of the parent frogs into a unique color. Something like that with the species patterns would be cool too, but that seems hard to implement. 

I don’t like how the racing is rigged against you. Even with a Triquetra with better stats than all other Topologia frogs, it wins inconsistently. Races are my favorite, but I wish the gameplay could be more skill based. This is a classic game, but I think only adding more scenery items and frog patterns in updates isn’t enough. Leveling up isn’t useful once you are past 50. I noticed Flagro had a 10 level gap to unlock breeding, instead of 1 level. The daisy field is a copy of the pond.

I like how scenery limits are increasing. But I hope for a scenery resize option (like 10%, 50%, 100%, etc., increase). It looks unnatural to have 5 rocks be the same size. Different ambient light options for habitats would be amazing. Moving backgrounds and items, like rippling water, sparkly frost, swaying leaves, would be cool. I think scenery item shadows also need advancement.

Dynamic lighting, backgrounds, and items would be valuable rewards.

I think Pocket Frogs can let players be more creative by adding new features, which changes how players use existing scenery items.

Adding limited edition breeds would increase engagement. I think it’s too easy to get them all and be done. It’s good for the company to have some breeds to be paywalled and unshareable, like Mythical class. But adding shareable frog breeds, colors, or sizes that players can only get for a week or two would encourage them to trade with friends and play more frequently.

### 2/5 — Too grindy

*2026-06-20, version 3.19.3*

I used to like this game a lot but now they added mythical frogs that are simply too hard to get and are only obtainable in one way and removed time travel.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-20, version 3.19.3*

Fun game that you can play for ages. Don’t need internet for it which is good.

Monetization is also strong - the ads are optional to watch and there’s pretty cheap in-app purchases. Many apps completely miss the ball in terms of monetization 

They’ve also been improving the app over time
I’ve had it for a couple years now and they’ve several helpful tweaks

### 5/5 — Gold and Silver Frogs?

*2026-06-13, version 3.19.3*

It would be really cool if you guys added a gold or silver type of frog. Even if it was just a limited time only.
:)

### 4/5 — I like frogs

*2026-06-11, version 3.19.3*

this is a good game but to hard to play so make easy for new players

### 5/5 — Pocket frogs

*2026-06-11, version 3.19.3*

I love this game play it everyday but if i could recommend anything the new update flower field is amazing but i think both the pond an the flower field should have more bugs to eat maybe ones that don’t blend so much as its kinda hard on the eyes with the flowers maybe add bugs that come rarely in the pond that feeds your frog right away or gives you the ability to become an adult faster beyond that i do enjoy this game thanks for reading hope maybe some changes happen soon

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-06-10, version 3.19.3*

Good game, cute, enjoyable, and the best part? There is an option to turn off adds completely! You can turn back on at any time, AND they have a separate vip option, that they do NOT force down your throat, like the majority of games.

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-06-09, version 3.19.3*

I really like the pattern and color options for the frogs. I also like breeding them for new combos. I also really like collecting background and decor for the habitats. I took off one star because it is frustrating to only have 8 items/decor per habitat. I feel like it limits me too much.

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2026-06-04, version 3.19.3*

Wish they had more games like this such as breeding butterflies etc

### 5/5 — Trifft mein Sammlerherz…

*2026-06-04, version 3.19.3*

… wer eine unendliche Sammlung anlegen möchte und die Freude über ein ganz besonderes Fröschlein liebt, ist hier genau richtig. Dieses Spiel lebt von der Vorfreude auf ganz besondere Froschfreunde, die man über Jahre suchen kann. Extremes Langzeitspiel für Sammler und Froschliebhaber… hol dir deine Frösche gerne und züchte und sammle unendlich viele neue Frösche 🐸 👍Empfehlung: hüpf rein 🐸

### 1/5 — Stole My Thanks And Pocket Frogs

*2026-07-20, version 3.19.3*

I had 29 tanks all full some rare frogs and when you updated you give me someone else’s tanks that was not mine and not my at level. I had a lot of my rare frogs and I can go visit my own tanks 🤬 And you still will not give it back to me. I’ve been fighting you guys for years for it. What is your problem ? That’s A Low Blow To Me …

### 1/5 — No juego mas

*2026-07-02, version 3.19.3*

Been playing for years, but now that you can’t change the time of the phone.. no more.. 🤷🏽‍♀️

### 1/5 — Won’t Open

*2026-06-21, version 3.19.3*

I played this game as a kid and redownloaded it for the nostalgia. When I go to open the app, it won’t load! I’ve deleted it multiple times and redownloaded it and it isn’t working. I had to get it in my iPad and it finally started working, but it won’t let me send frogs to people. How do I make it work on my phone?

### 1/5 — Update sucks

*2026-06-07, version 3.19.3*

Your update sucks along with your new icon and I’m no longer interested in your app. You can’t leave well enough about Kenya.

### 1/5 — New game

*2026-05-10, version 3.18.4*

Can we get new games the race search puzzle out of date

### 1/5 — Too hard to progress

*2026-04-26, version 3.18.0*

I’m done hopping around to find one dumb frog.  Life is too short and I’m done

### 1/5 — New mythical system sucks

*2026-04-21, version 3.17.0*

Please just make it an option/setting that we don’t have to waste our time hopping around for hours..☹️
Sad to see a great game fall so far because of money hungry multi-millionaires

### 1/5 — Too much

*2026-04-17, version 3.17.0*

Too many new frogs, too often.   No longer fun.

### 1/5 — Used to Love

*2026-04-16, version 3.16.1*

I always loved playing this game but now time travel isn’t allowed without punishment. So 👎

### 1/5 — Broke devs ruining game

*2026-04-11, version 3.16.0*

I just want the frog I don’t want to hop around for hours and I’m not paying you. One of the best parts of this game was the community but y’all are slowly killing it….  Make it an option or at least have times where chances of finding a mythical frog is greatly increased.  This sucks and I hate it, I’m sure I’m not alone..

Great community on Reddit as well

### 5/5 — the best

*2026-07-26, version 3.20.1*

It's the perfect game imo. Genius. Thank you to the developers for continuing to come up with updates, they're great! We're still playing 10 years later and loving it

### 5/5 — Must have game!!

*2026-07-26, version 3.20.1*

I have been playing this game since my mom first downloaded it on her 3G iPhone! I rediscovered it a year ago and have played it every day since! I’m loving this new update where you can walk to mature your frogs!! Genius idea, keep it up<3

### 5/5 — My dad and I

*2026-07-25, version 3.20.1*

My dad and I started playing this game when I was around 8-10 y/o it seems like. I was just day dreaming and happen to think about this game and needed to look it up to see if it was still running. To my surprise it is and I can’t be more happy. This is a simple and small game that my dad and I happen to love playing together and ended up spending hours on it seemed like. Thank you for the fun and memories :)))

### 5/5 — Beta testing

### 5/5 — My Not So Guilty Pleasure

*2026-07-20, version 3.19.3*

I will be 70 in a few months. I have played Pocket Frogs for 14 years. I just love it. It is the only game I haven’t deleted after a few months of playing. The premise and play are simple, but it’s still quite addictive. I appreciate that the developers often add new features and updates. I even have a Pocket Frogs coffee mug that I found online.

NO ADS makes it amazing!!! i made my boyfriend download it! he’s played it a lil bit. but overall love this game so much

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-24, version 3.19.3*

Good game.  One does not have to spend money or watch ads to have fun.  I’ve got 100% of the Anura frogs.  And several of the other breeds.
