A Must Have - An Online Pet
Sat Dec 02 2023 PhatPhrog0959Witnessing your Pokipet conquer growth stages is a nice touch. They start as a sitting puppy, then they learn to stand, and the next thing you know they’re running around to play. You become emotionally invested and attached to your Pokipet as they age and learn, even decorating him or her with the collar and hat of your choice. Realistic wise, Pokipets are more needy than the average dog. You should bathe often, and exercise, feed, and water every half hour. They can also fall sick, but to heal you simply use the medkit. You purchase items with coins, which is obtained through a addictive mini game and from taking care of your Pokipet. They also added a new, fun addition which is the leaderboard! By taking care of your Pokipet frequently and from completing mini games, you’ll collect stars and compete against other people. I’ve had the app since the beginning, and I believe Pokipet is growing to be a well rounded game. Thank you developers, I’m excited to see future updates!
love it! but...
Mon Nov 13 2023 anti-tiktok69let me start this review by saying i absolutely adore this game-- HOWEVER, i do think it can be predatory in terms of its' in-app purchases. the entire issue around pets getting sick is incredibly annoying, and seems to have spiked in frequency since i decided to first spend money on the game. me and my partner have two pets, and take care of them every day, but they get sick /constantly/. it seems as though if we leave for more than 3-4 hours, they always get sick. it's especially annoying when you don't have the funds to heal them from being sick. a cost of 300 coins is huge for that, and when they are sick, you can't even really do much. when a pet is sick, the game bars you from doing anything you usually can to earn coins. treats, water, exercise, food, etc. it's all unavailable. the only things left then is the minigames, waiting around for 25 free coins to be available every few hours, or buying coins with your real money. the toy minigame becomes impossible after about level 10, and again, the free 25 coin gift is only available every few hours. this means that its almost impossible to heal your pet for a good long while when you don't have the digital funds for it without using your real money to purchase coins. again, i love this game, but one of my pets has been sick for days and my partner and i havent been able to heal him, nor will we have the funds to get his care bars back up for awhile either. its annoying. please fix this.
Games bugs that NEED to be fixed
Thu Sep 28 2023 VickyG130I normally never write reviews but this lowkey annoys me. Don’t get me wrong I love this app, I think it’s so cute and cool to be able to co-parent a pet with a s/o or a friend. The problem I have is sometimes I’ll go on and I’ll fulfill my pets needs and give him a toy and then all of a sudden the game refreshes and all of what I just did goes away and is back to where it was before. Now, this wouldn’t be that big of a problem but it’s the fact that the coins I just spent and the ability to exercise, give a treat, and give water go away. It’ll say to wait 30 minutes as if I did the action but the hearts I just filled go right back to what it previously was. It would really help if you fixed this bug, I don’t know if it’s just for the sake of money or it’s an actual bug but I love this app and I really wish it would be fixed. Oh and the fact that I can’t feed or exercise my pet if they want a toy is also quite annoying because if you don’t have enough coins to get a toy for them you can’t even do actions to get the toy. Also idk if it was intentional but when this happens you can’t even play the mini game to get coins neither, it just disappears. Anyways that’s all I got, I love the app but there are a couple bugs that need to be fixed, thank you.
Not enough coins
Sat Feb 10 2024 there's some issuesPokipet is a great app, I love how you can take care of it like a real pet and they’re super adorable to play with. But there are some things that annoy me that I hope you can fix! My pet is always sick and sometimes I don’t have enough coins to fix it. I can’t earn coins by feeding my pet either because it doesn’t let me. Moreover, I’m stuck on a hard level on the mini game so I can’t get more coins from that too. So, my only option left is to wait hours to get the free 25 coins. I had to wait almost 3 days until I could cure my pet. But my pet is sick once again today. It’s really tiring to do this all the time and I don’t have the patience to wait if this keeps happening. I just want to be able to play with my pet again. I also don’t understand why I only earn 25 coins from the mini games when some levels are so hard that I have to spend 150 coins on the magic wand. It is not worth it if I don’t get more coins than that. The mini games would be great if I could get more coins as my level goes higher. Overall, I hope you can fix these issues because it’s a really great game besides that. Thank you for your hard work in making this game as well.
Game is better if you don’t spend money.
Tue Oct 03 2023 sïrenThis game is very well made, I loved being able to take care of a virtual pet without all of the added content like the Tamagotchi app. However, the minute I spent $1 on this game, my pet would run away, get sick, and constantly request toys. Before that, I never had any issues. My boyfriend, who hasn’t spent any money on this game, never gets these messages. The game will tell me that our pet ran away, but when he opens the app, the pet is still there for him. I’m very disappointed, I would even bare the ads but I’m tired of being asked for money every single day. Me and my boyfriend constantly check on our pet but we both work. Even a child has school 7-8 hours a day and cannot constantly be opening the app. I would be more inclined to make small purchases here and there if the game did not constantly require it to play. I will probably end up making a new account just to be able to enjoy the game again. I hope the game devs change this system so that they do not lose players completely. The idea of the game is wonderful and has real potential but this coin system is absolutely awful.
Adorable but glitchy
Sat Jan 27 2024 FoxloafThe game is honestly adorable and has a very fun concept with cute accessories and cute pets however the glitches lower the quality of the game. The mini-game glitches frequently which is very irritating, these glitches can range from not being able to progress to progress being straight up lost. An example being when you’re unable to complete the mini game due to one of the pieces being missing and refreshing restarts it causing you to lose a life. There are also times when you’ll progress further into the levels and the game will crash causing you to lose your levels and the coins you earned while playing. This is a deal breaker to me since I’m a player who doesn’t want to spend money on the game (which the game heavily pushes for you to do because all the toys, accessories, and foods are very expensive) since the match mini-game is the only way for you to earn coins. However, the game is overall very cute but frustrating to play with these glitches preventing you from properly taking care of your pet.
Fun, but I have some suggestions
Thu Nov 30 2023 PuppyLover321!Hello! I have been playing Pokipet for a while now, and I have a cute digital dog with my family. The game is super fun, plus your pet lives forever! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cute little game to play with your friends. I have some issues though. Sometimes when you’re playing a mini game, the objects won’t go in the holes. And sometimes, even when it’s working, the objects ricochet off the holes, which is really confusing and annoying. Also, sometimes the objects freeze and you can’t pick them up. Once that happened when there were five seconds left, so that really stunk. Also (last one!), there are some levels that are REALLY hard and there are WAY too many objects, so I would recommend making them less difficult. Anyway, these are really minor issues, so all in all, this a great game I would definitely recommend to my friends!
Annoying ads
Thu Aug 10 2023 Vothra.I love this game me and my boyfriend have a pet together and it is so fun and cute. I love taking care of the pet but there are some things that have been annoying me. Firstly sometimes it tells me that “mega wants to watch an ad” and I can’t care for my pet at all until I watch a full 30 second ad. I would be happy watching an ad I can skip when I boot the game or something like that but having to watch the full ad just to care for my pet is annoying. Secondly the pet can just run away even if you are taking good care of it. To me it feels the time it takes for your pet to run away is inconsistent recently it seemed like I only left for maybe 5-6 hours and the cat ran away but sometimes I can go a full 8 hour day of work and come back and he is just fine. I love this game and so I am giving it a high rating despite these problems but they can be really annoying and I think might turn some people away.
A+ game, but needs some work! 🥺
Thu Dec 14 2023 Kohaku6866Let me start by saying that I ADORE this game. It is the perfect game to get on & check when you have some spare time. It isn’t too stressful, the sounds are relaxing & you really do grow an emotional connection to your pets. 🤍 That being said - there are a few things I really wish I could see change in the future. Firstly, I would love to have notifications. I try to check the game every hour or so, but sometimes it’s hard to remember & notifications would make that easier! Second, I have no issue grinding the mini-game for some coins.. but I can play 20 games, make a decent amount of coins, & as soon as I leave the app to come back later, my mini game is reset to level 7. It is sooo frustrating having my score go back down. Lastly, I can hardly ever spend coins on cosmetics or toys for my pet, because no matter how often I check on them & no matter if I keep their hearts up, they’re ALWAYS sick. 😢 This is a really great game, but it would be even better with some small improvements!
Game has great potential, but…
Mon Jul 31 2023 Okay okay fineMy wife and I thought it would be a fun little bonding app, to take care of a cute kitten throughout the day while we’re apart. However, even though we never let our kitten’s hearts any lower than 1 out of 3, she’s “run away” 3 times. The first time, I did the 1-week trial, but after spending 5000 out of our 5400 coins, we couldn’t get her back. It’s incredibly frustrating, taking care of this cat diligently for 17 days, only to “lose” her because the app wants money from us. This would be a 5-star app, aside from the fact that now we don’t even care to have it on our phones anymore because all progress was lost, and probably will be again if we start over.
EDIT: To the devs: Yes, we purchased toys almost every day, the pet’s heart meter never went below a full heart. We put her to sleep every night. All I’m saying is don’t make it mandatory to have the subscription. Maybe an option to watch an ad or two. If anything, a $0.99 option, though that could be almost as bad.
