Instead of playing another game try doing something that has real world impact. If your an animal lover I don’t need to say more your in! ### 4/5 — Love helping a shelter pet *2026-09-03, version 20.9* Fun too ### 4/5 — Interesting game *2026-09-02, version 20.9* The game is something everyone should play. It really helps animals shelter s to get help ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-09-02, version 20.9* It’s nice to be able to help out with our fur friends! ### 4/5 — Enjoyable to play but so glitchy even after updates *2026-09-02, version 20.9* I play this game all the time because I know it is doing good. I am helping shelter dogs, which is very important to me. The game is cute - cute animations and graphics, colorful, playful. I do LIKE playing it. However, I give it a 3 star rating because of the CONSTANT glitches that don’t seem to improve with updates or patches. For example, the number of rolls I have doesn’t stay consistent from moment to moment, even when I’m not using them. Every action in the game seems to cause a subsequent glitch in something else. The value in the health bars on individual pets is consistently inconsistent, and consistently wrong. One moment it will say I have 100% health, then I will use a roll and it will have dropped my health bar rather than increased it. Sometimes I’m told about a dog being adopted that I was already told about the day before. Sometimes the app tells me about the same delivery multiple times. What is consistent is that there are small issues with the app every single time I use it. Nevertheless, the issues are small enough I just kinda shrug my shoulders and keep playing, slightly confused but accepting the flaws. It’s fun to play and it makes an impact on the lives of shelter dogs. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-09-02, version 20.9* This is such a cute game and I love that it is helping real shelters and dogs in need ,something more productive to do than scrolling keep up the great work ### 5/5 — Helping dogs! *2026-09-02, version 20.9* Happy to be helping pups, even if it is remotely. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-09-02, version 20.9* AMAZING ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-09-01, version 20.9* I love being able to send treats to cute doggies in shelters. I hope it makes their tail wag for a bit. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-09-01, version 20.9* The game is simple and easy to play, i just hope my gameplay is going to real dogs. It has my location correct and lets me see how far the shipping is, so i have hope. ### 3/5 — Problems *2026-09-01, version 20.9* Game keeps freezing since last update. Have to force close. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-09-01, version 20.9* I feel I get to make a shelter dog a little bit happier before they find their forever home. Every animal deserves a safe happy home. ❤️🐶🐻🐈🦃 ### 5/5 — best app ever *2026-08-31, version 20.9* THIS is what mankind should’ve been doing with technology. This game is the best because you really make a difference for these pups by just playing a game and you can also meet them in person if you want to ### 2/5 — No help *2026-08-31, version 20.9* There is no way to get hold of anyone when the game will not work. I have not been able to play for days and can’t get hold of the app support. I have no choice but to cancel the game ### 5/5 — For a great cause *2026-08-30, version 20.9* I will watch every ad because it goes towards the shelters and the dogs in them. I love the idea behind this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — unfair *2026-09-06, version 20.9* im a teenager who cant afford much if anything and i saw this and got happy thinking i could help dogs, knowing i had to pay a subscription just to do so really hurt my heart, the dogs deserve this for free? they shouldn’t need a subscription just to get treated. it was super saddening having to read that the dog i was playing as is missing out on food, this is cruel i feel. ### 1/5 — Trash update *2026-09-03, version 20.9* Was a good game the new update is trash Now I have no way to earn treats for the dogs with shields without rolls… way to limit… debating wether it’s worth keeping this game now that it’ll be a year in between treats for them now.. Kind of defeats the purpose… anyways it was a good game ### 1/5 — Great game but tired of losing dogs. 🐕👎 *2026-09-02, version 20.9* It’s a great app in all but I can’t be on it every excruciating second of the day. There are days I’m busy and I finally open the app and realized the dog I claimed has been taken away. Can’t imagine how people felt when they SPENT REAL LIFE MONEY on this game and manage to miss 1 DAY. Their dog is gone. it has happened to my mother and she was absolutely heartbroken. Great game trash policy 👎❌ ### 1/5 — How to play? *2026-08-24, version 20.7.6* Can’t seem to figure out how this game works will delete soon😞 ### 1/5 — SCAM-For profit game keeping all the revenue from us watching ads. *2026-08-23, version 20.7.6* After playing for 6 weeks, I’ve ordered 82 boxes. I have 6 different shelters. NONE of my ordered boxes show shipped or delivered. I put in a help request and received a canned reply that a gap between ordered and shipped is normal and not a bug. After 6 weeks of nothing showing shipping, this is not a normal gap. 6 of my dogs were adopted and since their orders were not shipped, those treats are lost as I am not a subscriber. The developers just keep that revenue from my add watching for themselves. I can’t recommend this game. If they do deliver to the shelter, the order is much smaller than it should be based on my treats never being included in the shipments. ### 1/5 — No delivery *2026-08-22, version 20.7.6* The shelter I choose never received a delivery even though it said my packages arrived and I’m not the only one who sent packages to this shelter and they didn’t actually receive anything ### 1/5 — Update is unfortunate *2026-08-19, version 20.7.6* 4.5 stars before the update. Now it’s next to impossible to finish medical missions. I have the pawmates option but my husband doesn’t. ### 1/5 — Love the idea *2026-08-19, version 20.7.6* This is a great idea but the app doesn’t stop crashing and I’m not sure if I’m getting anywhere. Very frustrating for a new user ### 1/5 — Love the game but hate the ads *2026-08-18, version 20.7.6* Most of the time I can’t get out of the ad, no matter what I do. No matter how many times you show it to me, I am not going to download Royal Kingdom. Stop trying to force it on me and give me a way to close the ad once I’ve entertained it for a minute or two. I have to hard quit the app just to get back to the game and then the game shows me the same ad over and over again. ### 1/5 — Crashing non stop *2026-08-17, version 20.7.6* This was my favorite game but literally for almost 2 months now after six different updates the game literally keeps crashing, deliveries keep going away, rolls keep disappearing. At this point, are you guys stealing my money? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2026-09-07, version 20.9* This is so genius & kind . I love that it helps real shelter dogs. What I really love is the morning adoption updates. I feel glad for all the dogs adopted. Especially , when it’s yours and particularly if you have had the dog for a few weeks. I have actually cheered out loud. I like the new care missions too. Great job! ### 5/5 — 100% real! *2026-09-07, version 20.9* I google my dog and I found her real location, I can adopt her or even donate!!! ### 5/5 — Meaningful Play *2026-09-06, version 20.9* I LOVE this app!!
