### 2/5 — It was good until the “fun” meter

*2025-01-24*

I’m a 90s kid and was looking for a little bit of nostalgia. This was one of many tamagotchi-like apps on the store, so I checked it out and as I was seeking simplicity, it seemed to really fit the bill for me at first. Until I went to try and fill the “fun/entertainment” meter, which is just absurd. They have you play a mini game, which is fine, but the mechanics for it are ridiculous and I literally couldn’t score a point. I don’t even have any movement disabilities and I couldn’t manage. And this was just during a trial run of the app itself before considering disabling all the obnoxious ads. Easy delete for me, sadly.

### 3/5 — The app is good

*2024-05-19*

Just needs more fun game for the animals find a Health Bar. to play and better graphics for the panda. overall the game is great I would recommend to check out the other one if you were counting on the pandas graphics and also I keep dying in the game so I can’t get past the first level even.

### 4/5 — No jumps

*2023-10-01*

So for my wolf mylo, it won’t let me jump in the gam and I keep dying pls fix this even tho you probably wont pls do

### 4/5 — So many ads !!!!!

*2023-03-05*

Great game super fun. But the ads! There are hundreds and thousands of ads it stinks every time you click on something an ads comes up, but the game is good👍

### 5/5 — Cute

*2022-12-30, version 1.8.2*

Muy parecido al original

### 5/5 — Súper lindooo<3

*2022-07-16, version 1.8.2*

Está demasiado bonito, me relaja y me divierte

### 5/5 — Favourite

*2022-04-24, version 1.8.2*

Cute and favourite

### 3/5 — (Ukraine) Не працює спільна гра

*2021-10-04, version 1.8.2*

Я з донечкою повністю виростили дві мавпи. Та коли ми включаємо мультиплеєр на наших телефонах вони не бачать один одного. WiFi включений одинаковий на двох iPhone і ми друзі в Game Center. Що робити?

### 5/5 — En inglés

*2021-08-24, version 1.8.2*

Para el poco texto que tiene, debería estar en todos los idiomas

### 5/5 — Wildagotchi

*2021-07-11, version 1.8.1*

I love wildagotchi

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2021-07-07*

I love this game! It’s super easy to use and I love all of my pets. But the reason why I made it four stars is because it’s a little hard for younger kids. I got the cat version for my little sister who is 5 and she checked on her cats maybe once every three days so the ended up dying and she was heartbroken. So I would like to be able to set a difficulty level easy being your pets can’t die and they rarely need things and hard being you need to check on them once or twice a day. Thank you for your time

### 5/5 — Volver a la infancia

*2021-04-09, version 1.8*

Me siento cuando tenia 8 años y jugaba con mi tamagotchi. Esperar que crezca, y jugar con él me divierte un montón! Que se puedan tener varias mascotas a la vez mola mucho, así puedes cuidarlos en diferentes momentos. Estaría genial que hicierais un widget para saber cómo están mientras está la aplicación cerrada o incluso si se pudiese jugar desde el widget sería fantástico! MUCHAS GRACIAS! Una app de 10 💙👌🏼

### 3/5 — 3 stars

*2021-03-21, version 1.8*

I dont know how to gain energy for the pet

### 4/5 — The Ads!

*2021-03-07*

Been playing for a long time, this is a great diversion, love coming up with different names, take it personally if I lose one, and took the ads in stride. I show this to everyone around my age so they know that yes, you can still go back to the 90’s. NOW, after almost each screen change there is an ad for another game and you are not free after 5 seconds anymore, the X doesn’t work. You’re hijacked to their game, live, no way out. If you exit the game and go back in, still hijacked. Go back, in the original ad that hijacked you. Maybe then, or a few more rounds, mercifully the X in the corner really works and you’re back to your game. Until you click to another screen. This happens more and more often. What happened? This is no longer fun. It’s a bummer.
***Update - fewer hijack/ kidnap ads! But the dog games don’t follow your move, they crash and you have to start over... Today the dinosaur was random crashing him/herself into the falling rain or trees, and bam! Game over. Could you please fix this? I love these games! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Facha

### 1/5 — Datenkrake mit Werbung

*2024-09-16*

Datenkrake mit Werbung und dafür sonst 3€. Nein Danke.

### 1/5 — Brad’s review

*2023-07-24*

None of your apps wrote true animals, simulation game Dogotchi, and Catgotchi and Wildagotchi are not accessible for people who are visually impaired and blind like me. I love taking care of virtual pets. Most of these apps are not accessible.

### 1/5 — Hrozne

*2022-02-08, version 1.8.2*

Nejde zvuk i když je zaplej.

### 1/5 — Big no no

*2021-03-11, version 1.8*

The app asks you to monitor all you are doing on your phone. Really? Maybe thats why you don’t have to feed him. Because taking care of it is not purpose of the app?

### 1/5 — Horrible el juego

*2020-03-14, version 1.4*

el juego es muy aburridor no es nada divertido

### 1/5 — Nezemře

*2019-05-03, version 1.4*

Nemusíte se o nej starat, nezemře nikdy.

### 1/5 — La reseña

*2019-03-03, version 1.4*

Miren la verdad el juego esta muy padre pero no es perfecto porque esta bien aburrido bye

### 1/5 — Boring

*2017-11-22, version 1.4*

Velmi nudné hraní  skákání nahoru a jde to pomalu

### 1/5 — Very Disappointing

*2017-11-14*

This app is completely inaccessible to totally blind voiceover users.  The developer should really think about fixing his app so that everyone can use it regarddless of visual problems.

### 1/5 — Не присылает уведомления

*2017-10-21, version 1.4*

Не присылает уведомления (не пищит) и не соединяет разные платформы через блютуз 
Сделали бы тогда возможность соединиться уж через интернет

### 5/5 — Jogo super nostálgico

*2025-08-24, version 1.9.2*

Poderiam adapta-lo para o Apple Watch também, seria super legal.

### 5/5 — Apaixonei

*2025-05-19, version 1.9.2*

Esse jogo é muito legal eu já tive um tamagotchi antes
Mas uma coisa que aconteceu foi que o botão não lembro qual o botão emperrou e não dava pra clicar e era um botão crucial aí a gente enfiou em algum lugar e agora eu não sei não sei se te enfiou em algum lugar eu perdi só que esse jogo ele tá revivendo isso além do que tem esse Jogo e tem outros dois esse jogo é muito legal…
RIP Thor 💐🪦

### 5/5 — Bluetooth a nasıl bağlıyacağımı anlamadım

*2025-02-24, version 1.9.2*

Bluetooth a nasıl bağlıyacağım

### 5/5 — плохо работает кнопка в мини игре steeplechase

*2024-07-10, version 1.9.1*

у питомца плохо нажимается кнопка прыжка когда играю в мини игру steeplechase и экран не всегда реагирует на палец, хоть я и играю с 13 айфона. оно нажимается раз через раз. ну а так всё устраивает. может быть у меня какие то проблемы с устройством или просто нажимаю слабо, хотя с другими мини играми всё исправно работает

### 5/5 — Good but…

*2024-04-28, version 1.9.1*

Game is good, but pls add background decoration like on switch

### 5/5 — Ich liebs

*2024-01-08*

Fantastisches Spiel mit nur kurzer Werbung, die auch nicht so oft kommt. Sehr simple Mechaniken, macht aber wirklich viel Spaß. Kein Pay to win, premium oder so. Einfach nices spiel

### 5/5 — Perfect but 1 more thing

*2023-10-22*

U should add way more pets and make more apps like one about fish, dragons, snakes, birds, etc
