I ended up naming my digital cactus Hornet after a game character and she is my pride and joy. (William and Hornet are besties now.) ### 5/5 — Add this *2021-07-29, version 1.0.4* Where you can Talk with your cactus also change what cactus type you have ### 5/5 — It grows but in real time. *2020-07-26, version 1.0.4* It’s pretty cool. It grows slowly but that’s realistic. It has no purpose but to have a virtual realistic cactus. If you want a cactus to take places this one is much better to bring than a living cactus. It’s a cute app. I like it a lot. ### 5/5 — husbando *2020-07-14, version 1.0.4* I love freakin catcus’ like they’re so cute! I love this game. Such a hot catcus...😳 ### 1/5 — Not Good *2019-11-01, version 1.0.4* This game... I do not recommend it, it is just a cactus that... does... nothing. it has small captions at the top but that’s it. :/ Please tell me is there is more to the game, other than making the lighting brighter or darker. ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2019-10-13, version 1.0.4* I was so excited when I saw this app. So I downloaded it but whenever I clicked on it to open the app, the app closes and takes me back to my home screen. I even tried deleting the app and downloaded it again but it still takes me back to my home screen whenever I try to open the app. I really hope this problem gets fixed. ### 5/5 — Cacti *2019-10-06, version 1.0.4* Cactuses ### 3/5 — Stopped working on ios13 *2019-09-30, version 1.0.4* :< ### 5/5 — Beanz *2019-07-19, version 1.0.4* I named my cactus beanz, he is growing taller by the way ### 5/5 — Amazing. *2019-07-11, version 1.0.4* The cactus grows on its own so you don’t have to be aggravated by a notification saying “your cactus is gonna wilt if you don’t get on here and take care of it.” The best part of this app is no app purchases! You can grow your cactus free of charge! ## Frequently asked questions about Your Cactus ### What is Your Cactus?
