Too buggy

I loved this when I got it years ago, but now it’s just super buggy. It pauses randomly and if the app is closed it resets your mon. Please fix

Please please please add a pause button!

The instructions say to hold down onto the screen for 3 seconds to pause the game but I do that and... nothing happens... Gen 2 has a pause button and I think Planets has a pause button as well but I can’t remember. In Gen 2, you don’t have to hold down on the screen, you just press the pause button whenever you want to pause your pet which is super useful when you’re not around to care for it, allowing it to live longer. Also please put Vpet Slide back as well, it was a very simple game but I got a lot of enjoyment when I had it and it had really cool music too. And if it’s in development, I would love to have a Vpets Gen 3, and maybe even one in color!

Garbage ripoff

This does everything that the Digimon keychain games did, but calls itself a "retro simulation" instead of "worthless waste of time" or "developer has no ideas."

It almost feels like I have a Digivice again!

For those of you who can't pause it go under the IPod settings app and scroll all the way down till u see V-Pet, then tap it and you can enable the pause feature. It works for me now.

Pause sistem doesn't work

I'm sorry, but this pause sistem is definitely not working.

Very nice!

This app is an amazing replacement for the digimon tamagotchi I lost when I was a kid.

One thing: many reviewers keep saying they can't pause it. You can! Just press your finger on the screen and hold it for a second or 2 until it says "paused".

Just like digimon digivice

When I was growing up I owned, still own three versions of the digimon pets and this is just like that only bigger and better.

Care mistakes

It's a fun app and I like it but I have it 4 stars because I wish there was a way to see how many care mistakes you have made. It would be a great feature but other than that I thinks it's awesome

Nostalgia!

Perfect! I used to have the real thing when i was younger.

Volume?

Oh how I miss my Pattamon... Only one problem: why can't I shut the volume off???

Taken back

This app definitely brings me back to being a lot younger! Even though it's not exactly the same I can't help but check it every 5 minutes haha. Even had the option to make it hold just like the one I had as a kid! Other than never having any energy it's perfect.

Love it

It's awesome but I hate that it forces me to download the gen2 to get energy, I don't want to pets because that would be too time consuming.

Energy?!

I love this game and it's exactly like the 90's game but my VPet is now 3 "years" old and still has absolutely no energy and is being perfectly taken care of. Otherwise I'd give 5 stars.

Fantastic recreation of classic toy :)

Great job on the app guys! I saw some ppl said they didn't know how to pause. .. Go to your main page, select settings, towards the bottom there will be games, select vpet gen1, then select "enable pause". Then just touch the screen for 3 seconds.

Anyways, it's a great game/toy. Brought back some good memories. I really like vpet gen2 as well. Hatchi is a decent pet, but vpets are better and more like the old tamagotchi/digimon toys.

If you don't remember theses toys type " Digital Monster (virtual pet) " into Wikipedia.

Nostalgia in an App.

I love the app as its very nostalgic for me, and it brings back fond memories of raising a Metalgreymon in the original digipet. I love the cross-game center battle feature as it makes PVP much easier. The graphics are very accurate and stylized like the originals. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is the training mini game. It's nearly impossible to get 100% consistently. It needs to be modified where it's 80% or better breaks the wall. Otherwise, it's an amazing app.

Awesome, but a little rough

This game brings back good memories, and plays almost identical to the bold digimon keychain toys. Unfortunately, the new training mode is obnoxiously difficult, and almost impossible to time right. The formulas for taking care of your pet seem a bit wonky too. You generally dont have anything to do until your little guy poops, then suddenly everything needs taken care of all at once. Really excited to see what improvements they make with gen 2

Brings me back to old days this is an amazing app thou

Better than sliced bread

My nostalgia senses are tingling, and I like it. This is just fantastic, I've had it for a day and it is my favorite thing on my iPhone, by far! Clearly made by some folks who intimately know and respect the original pets and I love them for it. Everything is perfect. Of course more monsters would be cool but I say you just do 1-5 like the original and then move on to the pendulums, jogres and all. I woke up this morning seriously jazzed about opening up this app and training my mon, but not to much, of course, as I am trying for the betamon equivalent. Finally, after reading the review from the kid who 'couldn't figure out how to hatch the egg' I think that is a very telling sign of the difference in generations. Digimon taught me patience and I'm very glad for it.
