Your very own pet, living right on your home screen. Widgepets is a tiny creature that lives in your widget — and it needs you. Feed it, play with it, and watch it grow from an egg into a one-of-a-kind companion. Every time you glance at your phone, there it is: happy when you've cared for it, sleepy at night, a little hungry when you've been away too long. A PET THAT'S ALWAYS THERE Add your Widgepet to your home screen and it becomes part of your day — no app to open, just glance and care. RAISE IT FROM AN EGG Hatch an egg and your pet grows through baby, child, teen, and adult. Feed, rest, play, and pet to keep it thriving. ONE OF A KIND Every pet's look is procedurally generated — its colors, features, and expressions are yours alone. No two are ever the same. EIGHT SPECIES TO COLLECT Start with two free species, then unlock all eight — Leaflet, Ember, Dewdrop, Pebble, Cloudpuff, Starling, Mochi, and Blossom — with one small purchase. IT REMEMBERS YOU Your pet gently lets you know when it's hungry or misses you, and every raised pet joins your album. Free to play, supported by ads. No accounts, ever. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Unlock Everything | $1.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.5 — 2026-09-03 Fixes a bug that could cause the ad for a free treat, and the ad between visits, to open to a blank black screen instead of playing. Ads now load and play reliably, and if one ever fails to start, you still get your treat. ### 1.3 — 2026-08-01 New in this update: • 4 new pets to discover — Glimmer, Tumble, Thorne, and Frost — unlock them with coins you earn from daily tasks • 4 new wardrobe items: Sunglasses, Bow Tie, Cozy Beanie, and Star Clip • 3 new scenes for your pet's world: Beach, Forest, and Nebula • New mini-game, Treat Catch — catch falling treats to earn coins • Music and sound effects, with independent on/off controls in Settings • VoiceOver now announces the time of day in your pet's world • Fixed a purchase issue that could affect VoiceOver users • Low-Pressure Mode now explains exactly how long your pet can go before getting sick • Bug fixes and polish ### 1.2 — 2026-07-21 Two big requests from your feedback, both shipped: • Eggs now hatch two ways — tap 3 times to hatch instantly, or just wait, with a clear on-screen countdown showing exactly when it'll hatch on its own. • New Low-Pressure Mode setting (gear icon). It's ON by default, so nothing changes for anyone — your pet never dies. Turn it off for a nostalgic classic-care mode: neglect can make your pet sick, with a free in-app cure, and untreated illness can be fatal. Also in this update: • Pets now get sleepier at real nighttime, not just from low energy — paired with the living day/night scene. • A full pass of VoiceOver accessibility improvements: your pet, its needs, and every action now have clear spoken descriptions and confirmations. ### 1.1 — 2026-07-17 Big update! Widgepets is now way more alive: • Tap to hatch — no more waiting, your egg cracks open in three taps • Living scenes — your pet's world now shifts through real sunrise, day, dusk, and starry night • Daily tasks — feed, play, cuddle, and check in for coins and XP • Wardrobe shop — dress your pet in bows, hats, crowns, and more • Leveling — earn XP from every bit of care and watch your pet level up • Smoother animations, blinking eyes, wagging tails, and more personality than ever ### 1.0 — 2026-07-15 No release notes. ## More apps by Tam Tran - [Merge Grove](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/merge-grove/id6786683644) - [Tap Sprout](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tap-sprout/id6786817643) - [Prism Path: Laser Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/prism-path-laser-puzzle/id6787070558) - [Draw Daily: Doodle Widget](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/draw-daily-doodle-widget/id6787105703) - [Left on Read: Chat Stories](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/left-on-read-chat-stories/id6787317459) All apps by Tam Tran: https://appshunter.io/developer/6786559953 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
