So glad this app has come back! Will there be any new updates soon? :) ### 1/5 — Not working on apple watch *2021-04-09, version 3.5.2* I was so excited for this game but very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Cut off *2021-02-20, version 3.5.2* This game is adorable, but I got it as a watch companion and the most I can do with it on my watch is hatch it and stare at it. The buttons on the bottom are cut off and there is a big black bar at the top. I don’t know if it’s because I have a series 3 38mm but that shouldn’t matter. Please fix this and I’ll change my review because this seems to have a lot of potential and doesn’t seem to require a workout or movement to keep it alive which is hard when you live in the middle of nowhere in an apartment above someone else in the middle of winter. Update: Continuously crashes on the phone too. Please please please fix these bugs cause this is such a sweet companion game and I really want to play it! ### 3/5 — Great but glitchy *2021-02-04, version 3.5.2* It’s a fun quick game, urging you to continue through rewards and level progression. The pet animations are cute and funny, though more interaction would be nice. My worst issue has been when I go to open to the ‘store’ menu and I have about 3 seconds to choose what to click before the app shuts off and I’m brought back to my Home Screen. I do enjoy this game but it’s becoming increasingly hard to play with the amount of times I need to ‘buy’ food for the pets. ### 2/5 — Kasey please update this wonderful app!!! *2021-01-12, version 3.5.2* I love the concept, but unfortunately the game in its current state does not fit on series 3 38mm screen, and phone version crashes on iOS. ### 2/5 — 보통 *2021-01-11* 상점에 들어가면 자꾸 튕김 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Apple Watch *2021-01-10, version 3.5.2* The app screen on the Apple Watch for Watchi loads endlessly, there’s no way to play with your creature. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, but it still no luck. Definite need for Apple Watch support as this option appears to work for the watch on the App Store. Additionally, the app for the phone constantly crashes. ### 2/5 — Stupid *2021-01-02, version 3.5.2* The game keeps kicking me out into my Home Screen. It won’t let me play for more than 5 minutes. ### 2/5 — Crashes constantly *2020-11-11, version 3.5.2* Very cute and retro. I’d give it five stars, but the game will constantly crash and exit to the Home Screen after a minute or so. I have a brand new iPad and I’m on the latest OS. ### 3/5 — It crashes when buying food *2020-10-16, version 3.5.2* The game isn’t bad, but it does crash a lot when buying food, which is annoying. ## Frequently asked questions about Watchi ### What is Watchi?
