An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A sweet idea, raising a shared virtual pet with a friend or partner and keeping a widget on your screen, and people genuinely enjoy it. But the economy is tuned so hard that coins are painful to earn, pets get hungry every 30 minutes, and ads pop up literally every time you come back to the app, sometimes without paying out the promised reward. A couple of people hit a fake malware ad and nearly got signed up for a paid plan by accident.

What people use it for

Friends and couples, especially long-distance, who want shared cute pet care instead of texting

Shared pet with a friend or partner, pet widget on the home screen, mini-games together, cute design, helps stay connected without texting

Too many long ads up to two minutes, coins are very hard to earn and pets get hungry every 30 minutes, ad rewards sometimes not credited, fake malware ads slip through, easy to accidentally start a paid plan

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

pets get hungry often and mini-games do not reward very much coins. Even the daily wheel offers such pitiful amounts. 5-10 coins on the wheel?
