Everything is so cool and amazing, but I have just one suggestion: when we put our seals to sleep, can you please make it so that the seals can sleep offline? It’s really boring when you have to just sit there and wait for their energy to get to 100 ### 5/5 — very sweet and cute *2025-11-13, version 4.0* comforting and relaxing to play, being able to take care of a silly virtual baby seal has done a lot for my mental health ^_^ all in all really good ### 5/5 — so cute!! *2025-11-12, version 4.0* Virtual Seal Pet is adorable! I really love the art and there’s a lot of other awesome things about this game! I like how the mini games affect your seal’s stats (ex. wash my belly game sets your hygiene to 100). it’s a simple detail but it’s cute :) there’s also no purchases or annoying hard to get “gem” currency and the only ads are optional which is really refreshing, especially for these kinds of virtual care mobile games. definitely would recommend it! 🩵🦭 ### 5/5 — seal luv🦭💌 *2025-11-07, version 4.0* this game is very fun, u can pick it up whenever u want and still have lots of fun !! u can tell the developer put lots of effort into making this game look good, fun, and accurate to how actual baby seals r like… play this game!!❤️_❤️ ### 5/5 — Only Stinkies Leave Bad Reviews *2025-11-03* This is a quaint little indie seal caretaking game that I’ve grown to enjoy since it was released. There’s definitely a curve to the game’s progression and I can’t help but wonder if the dissatisfied are frustrated by the introductory part of it. Ultimately, I don’t think any countdowns/games/etc need to be modified. TYVM SealDev keep it up! Feel free to add a tipjar in game too — sealtwt ੯‧̀͡⬮ ### 5/5 — My favorite App *2025-10-13* It’s so wonderful having this game! Between all the breaking news updates, emails, and flashy ads all over my phone and it’s apps- I have this lovely little seal who is always excited to see me, play some lovely mini games, and just follow a simple routine with! I know the seal isn’t “real”, but they still feel like a friend 🥰 thank you for this wonderful app! ### 5/5 — 🦭 *2025-10-06, version 2.4* gyuuuu ### 5/5 — I love this game, I have suggestions *2025-10-05* I love this game it’s super cute! But, I think you guys should add more like I want to have more than one , different kinds of seals a place where it can play with other seals a place where you can go do more with your seal, make daily challenges or quests! Make holiday themes , have events it would be fun to have more for the seal to do! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Toba Aquarium and Niko *2025-10-21, version 3.2* Is any of this money going to Toba Aquarium? The art is based on viral photos and screengrabs of Niko the seal, and the previews show the nickname of "Toba", so this is clearly intentional. I'll update my star rating if I know the aquarium and conservation efforts are informed and compensated. ### 3/5 — it’s alright. *2026-07-21, version 7.1 Summer update* The game was fun for awhile and there was even mini games and so much more, but my pet seal never got sick so the medicine was useless. And I also realized when you fill all the bars and rejoin the game, it resets back to zero, I don’t know if it’s only for me but please fix the bug!!! ### 3/5 — Great Game, missing a few things... *2025-09-06, version 1.0* Hi!! Ive been a big time fan (and follower over on IG) and im so happy the game is released on IOS!! Its overall a great game but just a few tweaks would make this game pop!! I've only been playing for a bit but here are the things ive found. 1) definitely needs more clear instructions, I was a little confused when i first started playing but was overall able to get the hang of it 2)more games!! The games are ADORABLE their definitely needs to be more 3)treats and xp falling. I've noticed that the treats and XP fall to the bottom of my screen and make it quite hard to pick up, maybe make it so it falls but not onto the inventory 4) ball bug, the ball in ur inventory will just randomly fall out of its box, dont know why but maybe that needs to be taken a look over Overall i do love this game as it fills my love for seals and i cant wait to see how this game develops in the future ### 4/5 — Sealy favorite🦭 *2026-02-09* I love everything lots and this is my favorite game ever as a 1# seal fan, ive always wanted to raise my own seal. But i would appreciate if the time it takes to finish cleaning the seal to 100% be reduced, as it takes a while for me to finish cleaning the seal because the bar takes a long time to go all the way up. ### 4/5 — Iove *2025-12-21, version 5.1* I love seal (｡· v ·｡) ### 4/5 — ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ *2025-10-05, version 2.4* the food is a bit hard to afford as a beginner please make it a bit cheaper ### 4/5 — I love it!! *2025-09-17* I really have no beef with this game I love seals and I love Nico and I think this is so creative, my onlyyyy issue is that when I clean him or feed him I have to like tap the fish and the stars super quickly (like a fraction of a second lol) before they fall off and vanish forever so I don’t get my rewards :( But other than that I love this game and it’s so cute! ^0^ ### 4/5 — I love it! *2025-09-11* I love it it's very cute and charming. I have a few suggestions I would love to be able to play games or do something while my seal is sleeping. I also think it would be nice if the stuff you bought in store gave you some sort of upgrade for your seal. It's very refreshing to find a new mobile app free from the slop that most mobile apps have now. Keep up the great work please. ### 4/5 — Reset?? *2025-09-06, version 1.0* Its good but i was gonna do the mini games and it reset my seal’s hygeine and energy??? Please fix it :( ### 4/5 — Very cute *2025-09-05* I love seals so this game is adorable and fun to play there are a couple issues like the fish in the eating mini game falling from the very edges of the screen making the fish hard to see and catch and the banner adds making the top menus unusable the ball also tends to bounce strangely I'm guessing its just weird unity physics but I know this game is still being worked on and I love it so far keep it uppp!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game! ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ *2026-07-24* This game is really fun and cute!
