Pro is very expensive- like £13.99 for one month then double for two! It's not that entertaining because all you do is feed give medicine and let your pet take a shower their is no mini games. It only took like 6 minutes for it to download. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. But if you like it you like it. ### 3/5 — I wish I looked at the comments *2024-11-26* When I download the app, it wanted me to pay and I was going to get the app for my sister so I didn’t really want to pay and I feel like it was gonna be great game so I just wanted something else like this that was free. ### 4/5 — Updates *2024-09-13* New update please **Developer response:** Hello! We're working hard to make our app even better, so stay tuned for future updates :) ### 4/5 — Developer plz read this! *2024-07-31* I mean this game is very cute. You can feed your pets,shower them,let them go to the toilet,and play! But it would be cool if you could add 1 more free pet that is a Shiba Inu! If you don’t know, search it up so you can make the pet ### 3/5 — What I think *2024-06-17* There is not a lot to do with your pet, I think you should add more things to do with your pet. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We totally agree, and we're super excited to let you know that we're currently working on two major updates with loads of exciting features and adorable new pets. Stay tuned for some cuteness overload! 🐾🎉 ### 4/5 — It’s good *2024-06-13, version 1.1.1* It’s good I just feel like there could be more! ### 4/5 — Pets? *2024-04-27, version 1.1.1* How do you get more pets please look at this developer how do you get more pets. Overall it’s really good but how do I get more? ### 3/5 — Um… *2024-04-01* Well first of all this game theres not a lot you can without premium and you only have one pet its only a 3 day trial for premium we need more time at least make it 2 weeks 2 weeks is the perfect amount we just click a button and it does an animation but its cute so 3 stars **Developer response:** Dear Sam, thank you for your review! We're overjoyed that you're having a great time playing. Thank you for being a part of our paw-some community! 🐾💕 ### 5/5 — Best game *2024-02-16, version 1.1.1* So cute ### 3/5 — Ok *2024-01-27, version 1.1.1* Right as I went into the app it asked to buy premium.and if you decline getting premium you can only choose 1 pet.all you can do with it is just feed it clean it and play with it.and you don’t even get to do it!for example if you want to play with you pet you click the play button and click what you want to do.and then it just does it for you!it’s so annoying.the only thing I probably like about this game is the cute one option pet.and no I’m not giving hate I just wish their was some changes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bro seriously? Read before downloading. This is true *2026-02-18* I just downloaded the app and immediately made me buy premium. Like dude, I’m a 10 year old and I have to pay just to play it. REMOVE THE PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION NOW!!!! ### 1/5 — BRUH *2024-08-26, version 1.3.1* I mean it’s a good app but the problem is YOU CAN ONLY HAVE 1 PET FOR FREE LIKE WHATS THE POINT OF 1 PET AND NOT 3? please respond also more free items for ur pet ### 1/5 — Rip off *2024-06-09, version 1.1.1* You can only have one pet mostly every thing cost money ### 1/5 — Not a good one *2024-03-19, version 1.1.1* I think it’s okay… it’s just that you have to pay for a premium deal to get the rest of the animal which I hate.and I really wanted the dog or a fantasy creature but they didn’t give it to me because of the premium wage they give us. ### 1/5 — i hate this *2023-06-05, version 1.0.0* it is pretty useless and uninteresting. and the price of premium is insane ### 2/5 — 𝕊𝕦𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕣 𝕔𝕦𝕥𝕖 *2025-01-28, version 1.3.4* 𝕃𝕠𝕧𝕖 𝕚𝕥! ℙ𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕤𝕖 𝕒𝕕𝕕 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤! 𝕃𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘!! ### 2/5 — Meh *2024-12-11, version 1.3.3* It was not very good it was very complicated to put it on my lock screen and only let me get one pet? Annoying ### 2/5 — Premium *2024-11-20, version 1.3.3* On ne peut rien faire sans le premium ### 2/5 — um it is ok *2023-07-08* so i literally downloaded this app 10 minutes ago and i opened the app and the first thing that popped up was “download premium”. i am a 13 year old so i can’t spend money. also it gives u no introduction what so ever but i figured it out. u can only get one pet without premium and it is the cat that is it. it is kinda boring i thought u could actually play with your pet but no it just shows a stop motion clip the cat is cute and the app is set up cute but i don’t understand why we have to pay premium for it. u could undo premium and make coins and u could buy things for your pet like beds and toys. u could sell coins and/or get them from getting your pet to certain levels. but instead u guys decide to but buttons and all we have to do is click. come on it is boring. i am keeping the app because the cat is cute but pls take my ideas into consideration ❤️ **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your detailed review! We will definitely take your great ideas into consideration. Your thoughts are inspiring! 🫶🏻 We will do our best to make the app more interesting and entertaining. Stay tuned and tell us later that you'll think about upcoming updates! ### 3/5 — Its meh *2025-08-15, version 1.4.2* I liked it at first when i got a cat and named her caramel but thats all u can get without premium! U need more accessibility to this app to get more pets. If u don’t consider this i might as well just get another wigit pet from another app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-02-25, version 1.4.4* So cute and so fun Best game ever Awesome Great without any subscription ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2025-01-11* this is the cutest game and it is so cute as a widget I do it on a daily basis! Coming from me I recommend this app ### 5/5 — The best game *2024-12-20* The best game is cool because is free and if you take him care they vive tyou things premiun ### 5/5 — Brad’s review *2024-08-16* So I really love this app. The only improvement I would change is that I wish the app could send a notification when the pet exactly needs the thing. For example max is hungry. Max is thirsty. Max wants to play. Max needs to go to the bathroom. Max needs a bath, would like send you notifications for all of its needs and see is a date and night cycle or your pet can either be put to bed at a certain time of the night and sleep for a certain amount of hours a night or your pet automatically goes to sleep at a certain time at night and wakes up in the morninganother thing I would like to see in the app is as you’re feeding your pet. I know that with the premium subscription, it says, unlimited feed and entertainment not very realistic since overfeeding your pet. well, make them fat and sick. so I think while you are feeding your pet it should say like for example Luna is full max is full and when you are entertaining your pet it should say like Luna is tired tired or Luna is happy or max is happy and another accessibility thing I would like to see in the app is I use the screen reader on my phone? **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review. We really appreciate your opinion. We're working hard to make the app even more better, so please stay tuned for future updates :) ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!! Just one thing *2024-06-23* I love the game so cute and easy to put on ur Home Screen. The only bad thing is u can’t feed brush or play with it on ur screen. Creators if u could add that, that would make my day. But overall amazing app highly recommend 💗 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your adorable review! We're thrilled to hear that you love our app. We're currently working on two major updates that will include exciting features and new cute pets.

Maybe yall can add some more pets for the free part but if you can’t that’s fine I have 1 awsome pet named jazzy it’s beautiful maybe yall could add a pet frog or a kitten if yall don’t already have one I would recommend this game but that’s all for me. **Developer response:** Dear little friend, Thank you so much for your lovely review! Jazzy sounds like such a cute and awesome pet! We adore hearing about the pets our players have. Your suggestions for a pet frog or a kitten are fantastic!

Even though you don’t get as much as if you buy premium, you can still get a good amount of items. Also, once you get 3 hearts it lasts for a couple of hours. Definitely a great game.

But a few things *2024-02-26* I am an 8 year old girl and my dad payed money for the pets and some other this like the hair brush the paino and etc but there are a few things like can you add a dress up place were you can dress up your pet? And can you make them have them in each separate rooms were you can earn rewards and get to customize the rooms. And can there be some unicorn stuff? To dress up and decorate and can there be a unicorn pet? That’s all bye!!!👋 😃 **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review, it's so great to hear that you're enjoying the app! We absolutely love your ideas for adding a dress-up place for your pets, as well as separate rooms to earn rewards and customize. Those would be awesome features to have! As for a unicorn pet, that sounds absolutely amazing! Maybe it could have a sparkly mane and a beautiful unicorn horn. We'll definitely pass along your suggestions to the app designers and developers so they can consider adding them in the future. Thank you for sharing your creative thoughts and ideas! Keep having fun with your pets. Bye for now! 👋😃 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
