I was so excited about this app but it didn’t work!! I got it on my iPod Touch and used a vivitar headset but I couldn’t move!! If you could write back and tell me how to move and see my wolf, I would get the app back and change my review!😁

### 1/5 — horrible

*2017-02-18*

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-01-18*

Really enjoying VR Pet so far. Some of the new activities and features are pretty sweet

### 5/5 — Nice

*2017-01-01*

I like this. The world is very scenic. I would want it to have more interactions. That would be awesome!

### 3/5 — Control settings

*2016-12-30, version 1.1*

I love this app, it has beautiful graphics and it isn't laggy. The animations are designed wonderfully too and I haven't noticed bugs, but that is mainly due to only playing it for about 5 minutes due to being unable to move around with my VR...
I have a Bluetooth remote that works with all of my other VR games but this one... So minus 2 stars because you have to tap the screen to move and it is very annoying because it has stunning graphics in VR mode 😕
On the other hand, I can't say it's a rubbish app. So if you don't mind not using your VR, then go ahead, but if you like to use your VR because it makes it more fun and look better then you might not like this app so much... 😕

### 5/5 — Work on older version now

*2016-12-28*

The new version now works on older version. My mom is also able to play it now! Love this game! Can't wait for new features!! It's fun to play with a pet while taking a short study break.
