### 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

### 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.

### 4/5 — Crashing

*2020-08-07, version 3.5.2*

This game is super cute and I really like it. Only thing I would say is that I can’t actually do anything with the animal on my watch (it also doesn’t look like the app photos). Another thing is that after about 20seconds it crashes and kicks me out.

If this was fixed this game would be absolutely amazing but please fix these problems!!!

### 3/5 — crashes

*2020-07-24, version 3.5.2*

i would give it a 5 if the app didn’t crash everytime you shop. also, my globe is stuck behind my tv and i can’t get it out. love the app!!

### 3/5 — Cute but keeps closing

*2020-07-22, version 3.5.2*

I can’t enjoy the game because it closes every time I shop or look at evolutions - would love to see this bug fixed cause this is so cool & I can use it on my Apple Watch too!

### 3/5 — Crash

*2020-07-12, version 3.5.2*

Nice but keeps crashing. Annoying.

### 4/5 — Good but sadly annoying

*2020-03-26, version 3.5.2*

my game keeps crashing even after the update pls fix because I love the game

### 3/5 — Please fix the crashing on iPhone!

*2020-03-17, version 3.5.2*

I love this game! I’ve had lots of fun figuring out what to feed my watchi’s in order to get them to evolve into the different types of watchis. The only real problem only I have with this game is that it crashes whenever I buy items or look the “evolution chart”. I probably would have deleted it a long time ago if it wasn’t for the fact that when it crashes you don’t have to reload the whole app. If these things are fixed, I will give this app a new review. Most likely, 5 stars. 
Some other small problems that I don’t really care that much about but it would be cool if they were fixed are:
1. Furniture sometimes “floats”(doesn’t touch the floor) and/or there will be lines near/attached to the furniture. 
2. If I put, say, a table in front of some chairs and then I come back to the game later, the chairs will be in front of the table. 
3. Furniture gets stuck behind the TV very easily. Right now, a couch is stuck behind my TV and I can’t move it out from behind it. 
I hope someone is still around to update this app. I see that the last time it was updated was three years ago. Thank you for reading.

### 3/5 — good game with a tiny problem

*2020-02-14, version 3.5.2*

this is a pretty good A+ game but i downloaded it on my apple watch and it just doesn’t work so that is a big bummer, but i really enjoy this game on my phone, except for when it closes the app out every 3-5 minutes

### 2/5 — Constantly crashes

*2020-02-14, version 3.5.2*

It's a fun game, but it's constantly crashes and it's almost rendered unplayable.

### 2/5 — Help me put it to sleep

*2020-02-05, version 3.5.2*

I wish I could put set a sleep time for this thing instead of waiting for it to go to bed. Does it even sleep? I’m nervous it doesn’t

### 2/5 — Please fix

*2019-12-07, version 3.5.2*

It closes after a few minutes of playing it

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2019-12-07, version 3.5.2*

Its a fun little game but its 2020 and its hard to play since it keeps crashing and exiting by itself, specially when it comes to buying food in the game

### 2/5 — Needs a Manual

*2019-10-22, version 3.5.2*

Have no idea how to feed it and when I try to click on the food the app closes. Heaps of glitches, needs to update!! It would be great otherwise!! Looks cool on the watch.

### 3/5 — Just fix the crashes.

*2019-10-03, version 3.5.2*

Absolutely love the app. However. It crashes constantly. Please fix this! I’m playing on my iPhone.

### 2/5 — Formatting didn’t fit watch face

*2019-05-24, version 3.5.2*

Didn’t format to fit on my watch face :( I have the smaller Apple Watch and the top row of selections in the game was cut off. Otherwise, it seemed like it was perfect. Welp!

### 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!

### 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.

### 1/5 — Not for 40mm

*2020-10-13, version 3.5.2*

Does not fit right in the 40 mm watch, my husband has the 44mm and it fits fine on his. Most of the functions you have to use your phone instead of the watch for, it’s disappointing

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Apple Watch

*2020-10-05, version 3.5.2*

Screen doesn’t stretch on apple watch and cuts off all the menus.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-05-21, version 3.5.2*

The game crashes constantly on the watch you cant do anything it shows hungry but wont rake food i was really hoping this would be a good game but was extremely disappointed

### 1/5 — Not great

*2019-12-31, version 3.5.2*

I enjoy it from the phone but from my apple watch i can only feed him and see his information (name,age etc) i can not play with him wash him or do any of that . I am really disappointed about this an i really want it fixed with all that it makes the game a bit boring and bad i really want to use this game but unfortunately can not 😭!!

### 1/5 — Watch don’t work

### 5/5 — Best virtual pet for the Apple Watch!

*2026-03-12, version 3.5.2*

This is by far the best virtual pet for the Apple Watch, reminds me the most of the old tamagotchis! So glad this app has come back! Will there be any new updates soon? :)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-07-29, version 3.5.2*

Absolutely love it!

### 5/5 — Most amazing app

Watchi is the most amazing app ever. It gives me so much joy to feed and clean up after my little watchi’s. Totally recommend to download this app!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-05-16, version 3.5.2*

Great little game, just needs more things to do. More activities more something

### 5/5 — Cute game!

*2018-01-05, version 3.5.2*

This is just like the good old classic Tamagotchi, except it’s on your phone! I have a Chirpi names Pixel :3

### 5/5 — Cool

*2018-01-03, version 3.5.2*

Nostalgic

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2017-10-06, version 3.5.2*

The only thing I don't like is that you can't play games with your watchi but other wise great game :)

### 5/5 — Fun

*2017-04-28, version 3.5.2*

Good mindless game

### 5/5 — Love this app!!!!

*2016-12-22, version 3.5.1*

Like that you can raise lots of watchis at the same time now!

I've been a loyal Watchi fan and love the updates!  It really takes the best of the Tamagotchis from the 90s and updates it to modern times.  It's just so fun to play.  I like that you can raise lots of watchis at the same time too.

Keep the updates coming!!!! 💕💕💕👍

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-11-09, version 3.2.4*

I'm rewriting this review because after a couple updates it's great. Still not done but the debs are clearly building with good design ideas in mind for the future. 👍 great job and I look forward to other stuff you do!
