My daughter and I wish we could mix some of the dog breeds to make the results of the puppy more exciting! ### 2/5 — boring *2026-08-16, version 1.3.9* cute concept but my goodness is it boring. ### 4/5 — Fun! *2026-08-13, version 1.3.9* I personally think that it’s super fun but I do think that it’s a little challenging at times. I end up getting a little frustrated with it but then I end up succeeding. So a little challenging but over all super fun! ### 2/5 — Not very fun or cute *2026-08-08, version 1.3.8* The dogs are unsettling in how they look and the game itself is very, very repetitive. I got bored in a few days. There is a lot of pressure to watch ads even if you pay to make the forced ads go away, for example by showing a notification to make you think you have rewards to collect, but it’s just prompting you to watch ads until you do. I wanted a Nintendogs style game like the ad said but this is its ugly cousin. ### 5/5 — I love this game so much its my favorite game but I have an idea... *2026-08-08, version 1.3.8* I don't think you should only be able to get three star dogs by breeding dogs with your friends and I think their should be Pocket Paws: My Lovely Cats but its like cat shows and you do tricks with them and you get to vote what cat you think is the best. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-06, version 1.3.8* The game itself is pretty good and fun to play but there are far too many ads & £8 to remove them is just a joke. Will probably uninstall it. ### 5/5 — A minor change needed *2026-08-05, version 1.3.8* The game is amazing but it doesn’t have a chihuahua😔 ### 5/5 — You know what? *2026-08-05, version 1.3.8* BEST DOG GAME EVER!! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-05, version 1.3.8* It’s awesome ### 5/5 — Super *2026-08-05* Es gibt wenig Werbung die Hunde sind sehr toll also hat das Spiel auch eine 5 Sterne Bewertung verdient. ### 5/5 — Would recommend *2026-08-05, version 1.3.8* I love it it’s calm and relaxing u can also increase ur knowledge abt different dog breeds ### 5/5 — DEAR OWNER *2026-08-05, version 1.3.8* DEAR OWNER THIS IS AND AMZAING GAME LIKE OMG U HAVE TO DOWNLOXAD UIT PPL ASND DINT MIND THE SPELLING MISTAKES THERE IS SMRH SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY DLEL S DELETE BUTTON.❤️❤️💀✌️ ### 5/5 — This game review *2026-08-04, version 1.3.8* I’m so entertained with this game it’s so fun, and the dogs look kind of realistic. I like how whenever u get a dog it’s a surprise, and they’re all adorable. This game has a lot of dog breeds. This is a great game. ### 2/5 — Way too many ads!!! *2026-08-04, version 1.3.8* Great game but flooded with ads it becomes unenjoyable very quickly. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-03* 5 STAR! CÓDIGO AMIGO: PAW-XFR-7UP-CNW ### 4/5 — New update or glitch? *2026-08-03, version 1.3.8* So a few days ago I was playing Pocket Paws and then as soon as I went into a training session I realised that it wouldn’t let me click on anything to help the dogs (Eg.Tapping,Scrubbing) and it’s getting annoying.I keep on getting greats instead of perfects now and it’s making me very bad at competitions and I can’t win a German Shepherd 😭!If this is a new update then PLEASE change it back because I think a lot of people miss this feature!🐶 ### 4/5 — FUN *2026-08-03, version 1.3.8* The game is really fun but I Wish you could get bones in the tournament not just gems cause I have so many gems and not enough bones but really the game fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs Pitties! *2026-08-16, version 1.3.9* Downloaded it, look for pitbulls on the list, deleted the game. ### 1/5 — I just want to care for them but that’s gated! *2026-08-15, version 1.3.9* I just want to love and care for the dogs but the game locks you away from anything but petting them endlessly? It really wants to railroad you into competition or paying. Why can’t we care for the dogs during idle time so we don’t get frustrated and quit? Like I’m doing now. Because there comes a point where you have to wait to do anything without paying. ### 1/5 — loved this game until now *2026-08-08, version 1.3.8* i got a new phone today & had to trade my old one in. everything was uploaded to the cloud but when i went to download my saved data in the game and logged into my game profile from my previous phone it made me start FROM SCRATCH. i was level 20 something, had spent real money and had multiple gold dogs that are now gone. i’m very upset as i worked extremely hard on this game and truly enjoyed it until now. 😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Pure pay to win *2026-07-29, version 1.3.8* You don’t get very far before you have to start pumping money into it to do anything that’s it and then of course it’s attached to one of those games that you have to use for JustPlay so if you want your reward, you have to spend money to upgrade your dogs and everything it’s stupid they don’t give you anything to upgrade your dogs you have to spend money on it all. The dog bones to train your dog they give you a certain amount of them, but they run out because they cost so much to train your dog. I want you to train your dog to a certain limit then you need some kind of puzzle piece, tokens, or something else to be able to upgrade your dog and they don’t give those away freely. You have to pay for them. ### 1/5 — Game won’t load *2026-07-27, version 1.3.8* I have heard great things about this game. After it getting stuck at 95% loading, it says it can’t connect so it stops. I read reviews about the same issue and did the things the devs said would temporarily fix it. It did not fix it. I have deleted and redownloaded the game, I have reset my phone, and I have signed out of my Game Center account. Nothing worked. Please figure out how to fix this issue and I’d love to play. But I can’t play if it doesn’t let me. ### 1/5 — WHY THE FRICK IS THE TUT SO LONG *2026-07-23, version 1.3.8* I CANT EVEN RENAME MY DOG BECAUSE YOUR TUT IS SO LONG!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Stuck on loading *2026-07-19, version 1.3.6* I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else but after I downloaded and opened the app, it seemed fine until it had loaded to 95%. Then it stayed on the loading screen, the little circle still turning. I waited at least 10 mins for it to finish. It never did. I deleted and redownloaded the app. No use. I really want to play this game but I can’t and it’s really annoying. Please fix it! ### 1/5 — Got nothing on nintendogs *2026-07-10, version 1.3.6* The dogs are cute but you don’t get to choose which ones you have. The ads are annoying, the constantly needing to spend money just to progress in the game is annoying. Not worth it!! ### 1/5 — Way too many Ads *2026-07-06, version 1.3.6* Every 5 clicks or actions you get an ad interrupting you gameplay. The graphics are decent and the game would probably be fun and rewarding if I wasn't spending more time waiting to skip the same 3 ads than I spent actually playing the game. ### 1/5 — Game not loading *2026-06-26, version 1.3.6* I can not give the game 5 stars because when I try to load into the game it stops at 95 percent I have already reset my iPad and deleted and redownloaded the app twice I have waited for the game to load in but it gets to 95 percent really quickly and then it stops and stays there forever are their any ways to fix that? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-17, version 1.3.9* Great game! I have been playing for months now and have 5 three stars and one as a pup! Yet, not long ago this ad was not letting me close out. I deleted the game and got it back but now ads won’t come in! Deleted and got it back again hope this helps! ### 5/5 — It’s a really creative game *2026-08-16, version 1.3.9* I really like this game it shows me what dogs like doing and support ### 5/5 — So fun *2026-08-16, version 1.3.9* I love this game it’s so fun and when I’m bored I can just start training my dogs . ### 5/5 — Love this can’t stop playing this *2026-08-16, version 1.3.9* I love this game so much. This is like one of the best games I’ve ever had and has not too many ads that’s what makes this game so fun and that’s why I think it deserves a good five stars ### 5/5 — Pocket paws *2026-08-14, version 1.3.9* Soooooo fun the best game I have ### 5/5 — So far so good! *2026-08-13, version 1.3.9* I haven't even had this game for an hour, so take this with a grain of salt. But I really like the game already! The dogs are all so cute, so are the animations and I really like the facts under each breed! I have no complaints about the app so far. ### 5/5 — Me again! *2026-08-13, version 1.3.9* Can you add a thing to reset all progress? I’m just bored because I’m very high level and I feel bored cuz I’m almost done with the game, I could re-download it but keeps my progress. And it can be optional so other people can keep their progress. I’m not rushing you! I can wait till it comes out! Bye ‘,;D p’s I copied my other review cuz I’m bored and I think the features is not out yet, plz hurry I’m so bored ### 5/5 — Omg so cool *2026-08-12, version 1.3.9* It is so cool it’s like I have a real family of dogs people should download it right now if they want a dog and they can’t get one ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-08-09, version 1.3.8* Okay so I love this game because I love dogs obviously. Now I have a new update idea so I thaught how about you can do mixed breeds you unlock by mixing dogs. 2nd I thought you could have dog breeds such as bull terrier, havanese, Great Dane, Belgian shepherd, St Bernard, Sheltie, Shih Tzu, Australasian bosdog, Australian silky terrier, bedlignton terrier, bichon frise, pharoah hound, schnauzer, whippet, Dutch shepherd, English toy terrier, Italian greyhound, and Jack Russel terrier anyways I hope you can add these updates anyways bye love you pocket paws crew 👍❤️ ### 5/5 — So cute!!!!!! 🥰 *2026-08-08, version 1.3.8* I love this game! Pocket paws is so cute! Making puppies to doing dog races, it’s just the best. The only thing I dislike is that you need friends to get 3 star dogs, it makes it challenging but none of my friends really play the game. 🥺 I am almost done with a bunch of dog breeds but the only thing stopping me is the 3 star dog. Other than that the game is awesome and playing it brings me so much joy! 🩷 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
