App isn’t working right

I giving this app two stars because I was really excited about the premise of the app. Otters are my favorite animal and when my coworker recommended this app I downloaded it immediately. Sadly I’ve been trying to signup and start exploring the app but no matter how many times I try to sign up, login, delete and reinstall the app. I never am able to get passed naming my otter. It’s say first there is an error because it skips sign in but then it has me verify that i am over 13. After that no matter what I try to name my otter I just get an error saying there is a network error issue. I try to report a bug on the website but I get an error about the websites IP address. I really want to use this app but I have no idea how I can even fix my problem.

Wish it vibrated watch when getting a visit

Needs a watch notification when getting visit, whether it be a vibration, or a color change on screen.

Otherwise, becomes “work” and misses all timely moments

Really cute when it works!

My boyfriend and I have each other paired on this app. I get notifications on my phone about half the time while he never gets notifications. Also, if the notification is a little older and you tap on it, his otter does not come up on mine. We have tried sitting on the app at the same time and sending each other otters, but they don’t come. Wish this could get figured out because it’s a great idea!

Super cute

The app is lovely. I really like the animations. I am however seeing issues where is don’t get notifications reliably. An update to the app would be great.

Absolutely adorable, but has some flaws

I love this app, me and my partner have otters together. (Their names are Snickers and Puddle! ❤️) I must say though, this app does not come without its flaws. Whenever my partner sends me something I can not react to them and it makes me feel SO bad! It seems to just disappear. :( I really hope you can fix this.

amazing! + suggestion

me and my bf use this everyday :))
I was hoping we could customize our otters a bit? like just little accessories or colors would be very fun !

Love it but it’s bittersweet

I love the idea of the app since I’m long distance with my partner- but the developers really dropped the ball when it came to making the app. It doesn’t load more than it does- and is overall very glitchy. Imagine the app is like high school senior’s final in making an app class. You probably won’t get notifications either- and the app can be drastically improved. Will revisit it later once they offer an update.

Just some ideas :)

I love this app. It’s just adorable. However, there’s a couple things I think could be improved.
For starters, I think it would be great if there were a more convenient way to pick a “state” without having to scroll through them all.
I would love if there were a way to personalize your otter like with color, accessories, etc. Maybe even have a living space for your otter that can be personalized.
Lastly, I think it would be super sweet if there was a feature that allowed your otters to know when you and your partner are actually physically together.
Very sweet app, definitely recommend if you and your partner are long distance!

Good but could be great!

This app is so cute. I love the animations the otters have! I’ve only just started using it with my bf, and we like it a lot. He thinks it’ll be boring eventually. I can definitely see that since the app only lets you react to what each other sends. Yes, that’s the point; however, I think if you could add a message or voice memo this could be more entertaining.

Cute but very inconsistent

This app is great and cute but it’s extremely bare-bones in what it is. You just send reactions to your partner and react to what they send you. It’s simple enough, but notifications for some reason don’t always work, and even when they do, the app itself is so buggy. Half of the time my partner sends me a reaction, I can’t even react to it because nothing will load.

Heccin Adorable

We love the app and its subtle methods of communication for when were apart. A few minor glitches here and there but nothing that cant be polished. Wed love to see future updates involving the otters holding signs to deliver little messages, or to deliver voice memos. Wed also think adding a way to customize the otters such as clothing, hats, fur color, etc. would make the experience much more enjoyable!

not for long distance

Definitely not for seriously long distance couples. my boyfriend and i live 5,000 miles apart. im american and hes swedish. ive seen that its not only open for samsungs, but also not allowed in sweden. therefore he cant get it eitherway. i think thats really limiting and bums us both out.

It is so good!

I love this app! It is so cute and works very smoothly! I actually found this app through a TikTok video so I really hope this app reaches a lot of people. The only thing I wished is that people who have Androids or Samsungs could use it too! My boyfriend has a Samsung and is really sad that we couldn’t do the app together.

No apple watch

This is great! However i don't have access to some emotes because i don't have an apple watch it says the scroll function isn't recognized. Hopefully there will be a solution id love to be able to use all emotes!

Where are the notifications?

I get no notifications on my watch or my phone, I’ll send a message to my partner and when they respond I get absolutely no notice at all. Also, half the time when my watch and phone are right next to each other, my watch says there’s no signal to send a message.

So adorable!! More features in the future?

This app is perfect for LD relationships!! the otter design is sooo freaking adorable and lovable and its fun that you can send notifications to your partner. However, I hope to see more features in the future! More emotes or maybe even a feature where your otter can invite your partner’s otter to hangout in the same space! (Since yknow.. LD couples can’t do that) Other than that this app is amazing :))

This was great at first!

Hello,

I was looking for a way to connect with my girlfriend while we were apart and I found this cute and wonderful app. Despite seeing some glitches in the reviews, I wanted to try it and we loved it! However, the glitches started to show up. It started with sending my otter and they received the notification but when clicking on it, didnt get the animation. Now, we dont receive eithers otters at all and no notifications from phone to phone reactions sent. I hope it can get patched because it was awesome while it was working. Thank you for making this app.

App achieves exactly what it sets to do!

Most of the poor reviews are from old versions over a year ago. Many of the issues these reviews have suggested have definitely been repaired, at least from my testing. I saw this app while searching for things to do with an Apple Watch. I didn’t have one at the time, so I downloaded it to my phone and told my girlfriend to get it too. She did have an Apple Watch but never used it. This app gives her a reason to. Fast forward two weeks, I finally got my own Apple Watch and tried out the app. It’s awesome! It was already fun and cute on the phone, but the emotion detection on the watch is pretty accurate and cool. I can lay down, and quickly send a sleepy otter to visit my girlfriends otter. Amazing for long distance and really recommend if you want to add a fun touch to your relationship. Both the phone and watch apps are awesome.

By the way, our otters are named “Whiskers” and “Egg”. The hardest part of this app is choosing a name for your otter, as it’s permanent I believe.

Please update

I get notifications that my significant is here but when I open the app nothing happens it’s just waiting for me to send something and it’s quite annoying been dealing with this issue for weeks

Cute but buggy

I really like the idea of this since my partner and I text a lot but have a hard time maybe just saying how we're feeling. The issue is though that I can't seem to be able to see or receive his otters either on my phone or watch, and when I send mine to him, it doesn't send my emotion, just the general hug emote every time. There's a lot of room for growth so I'm hoping these problems will be fixed. Seems great for communication.
