Pokipet Reviews

You asked for it so I’ll give a brutally accurate review.
Yes the pets are cute undeniably, but one you feed, pet and play when them they get sick once a day after 10 hours and 55 mins of sleep. Doesn’t matter if you set alarms and have multiple players taking care of the pet, the way that Pokipet is designed is to manipulate you into thinking you’re not caring for the pet. I have rabbits and my friends who care for this virtual game pet have cats- why are our game pets on Pokipet getting sick once a day and demanding $1.99 for coins to give meds daily?? Our own real pets who are living and breathing are not that needy, sickly nor demanding of our finances! Your app is a scam and I hope you guys get karma because you are truly not well to make such an app. My cousin is a programmer for rockstar and makes famous games world renown- I promise you Pokipet will lose all credibility once word catches on about your false pretenses. Quality is always more important than quantity. Thanks for forcing me to abandon my pet into the cyber world. I bet you guys make kids cry because their parents get sick of Pokipet.

I have nothing against this game. I actually thought it was super cute in the beginning. However, after having it for around two weeks, there are a few issues I noticed that make it impossible to actually play this game and enjoy it, especially without spending loads of money. FIRST of all, at a certain point, the mini games, which are your only way of getting money to take care of your pet, become extremely hard and get to a place where you only have 2 minutes to sort a bunch of items that are the same color, which is virtually impossible. I spent 3 days trying to pass a level because I didn’t want to spend the 10 dollars it costs for 30 extra seconds or another life and have yet to pass that level, or the 1000 coins which are basically impossible to get. SECOND, as I said above, it also costs around 10 dollars for more lives, or you have to wait another hour to get one new life to play, and all the while your pet is probably sick and you feel bad for it. THIRD, the pets get sick way too often, like 4 times a day if you’re not constantly on your phone, and healing it costs so many coins that at a certain point, if your level is too hard, you have to pay a lot of real money to get. Please make this game more available to play for people who don’t want to or can’t spend real money, and please address the issues above. Thank you!

let 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.

Okay so your app is not bad, and it's lowkey fun really enjoyable. You guys do need some fixing though, like for example my pet was sick, and I paid to be able to afford the medicine, and then all of a sudden the screen refreshed, and my pet is back sick again, and I don't have my coins. I pay again, and then buy some extra stuff AND IT REFRESHES AGAINNNN. That makes it less fun, and enjoyable for other people. Like why does it keep doing that? It's a waste of a thing to be constantly doing stuff over again, and it just feels like your taking money, and content from us. Your game is honestly not gonna make it far if this problem continues for people. It's very frustrating, and irresponsible for a fully devolved game to be having these bugs. You should be checking your game, and reviews sometimes to be seeing what could be fixed. Your game isn't perfect, but not bad. This is a serious issue not just for me throughout other peoples game too. If you can't fix this you should consider downgrading your game.

this app 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.

I really enjoyed Pokipet when I first got it. My husband and I could both take care of a pet together which was healing for us since we just lost our pet last year. I really enjoyed the mini games and even paid to remove ads. However, the biggest downside to this game is the coins. I got to level 105 and could not for the life of me get past it. I attempted over 20 times but couldn’t beat the time. In that time, our pet kept getting “sick” and needed medicine which was 300 coins each time and I wasn’t able to complete level 105 to get anymore coins. We ultimately decided to delete Pokipet out of frustration. We can’t enjoy the cute fun aspect of the game if the need for coins is always looming in order to even play the game. Either the mini games need to be easier or increase the amount of coins per game so you’re not continuously scraping by every few days to pay for “medicine”. There’s also no where on the interface that says how many “lives” you have to play the games. I wasn’t even aware you had limited chances to play so that also inhibited me from getting coins on top of the game being too hard to complete.

This 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 Pokipet , 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 Pokipet . 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.

My 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 Pokipet 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.

My girlfriend & I have had Pokipet for a couple months now and it’s started to cause me literal panic attacks. I put the pet asleep right before I go to sleep so it wakes up when I am at work. I don’t have time to check my phone at work so of course the pet gets severely neglected for 5+ hours. In attempt to keep it cared for, I set timers on my phone for every hour or so to check on them. I will maintain full hearts, and it still manages to get sick more than 4 times a day & drain my coins. But I don’t have time to play the stupid mini game every 30 mins or sit down and play the game for hours and stock up on coins for the work week to keep him medicated. I just want to get off work and relax but no, I have to sit and play the stupid games and check that pet every 30 minutes to keep it “happy & healthy”. I can’t sit down and play other games without it crying to me that it’s sick, when I fed it meds like an hour ago and filled its hearts 20 mins ago. If I wanted this much responsibility I’d just get a real pet. As bad as I feel for our pet, I’m going to have to start putting me first & purposely leaving the pet neglected for hours/days because I can’t risk checking my phone at work 10+ times to keep a fake dog happy.
Don’t get me wrong I love our pet. But ugh, having to earn 1200+ coins a day & playing that mini game over & over every single day has driven me insane. I feel like a real dog would be less of a toll on my mental health.

Hi I don’t file complaints at ALL but I feel like this needs to be fixed and talked about . I reached level 105 probably a couple of days ago . And when I reached it I couldn’t pass the level and it’s not an easy level there are MASSIVE piles of toys on top of the items I need to get . I didn’t think it was the game I thought it was just me being slow . So one time I looked at the time I had to collect my items and it said 2 minutes . So I didn’t know if the time was always 2 minutes so I asked my friend to get to level 105 to see if she got 2 minutes also. But she DIDN’T have 2 minutes she had 3 minutes and 30 seconds to collect her item’s . So that made me feel like you guys were just trying to make people spend their money . I don’t know if that’s true and I don’t want to assume that but pls check it out or fix it i really want to help my friends get coins for our dog strawberry . When you get a chance to see this please respond . But other than that I love this game .

I absolutely love playing this game with my older sister! I love the fact that you aren’t overstimulated with thousands of ads every time you touch something, and how simple the game is and the thought and just over all cute, happy, and just adorable theme of the game! I would have given five stars but I would like to see some improvements if it isn’t too much trouble for you guys. First, when we go outside, instead of just a white background could we get a background for outdoors? Maybe even like a 2 POV and you can decorate it and maybe even go places like a little town. Secondly, I REALLY wish you could have more rooms in the inside section of the game (AKA the house) I really wish that we could decorate it and place things were we want, and just overall a little more creativity and freedom! But the please if it’s too much trouble or will cause ads or anything leave the game as is! I really hope it isn’t too much trouble!
Thanks!

The 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.

The game its self is great, its cute and fun and easy. All the mini game levels aren’t hard but certain ones are IMPOSSIBLE to do and its very frustrating and not fair when our let gets sick and we dont have the money to cure it. We cant feed it for coins because its sick and i cant afford to just buy coins whenever. Level 24 of the minigames is literally Impossible no matter how hard i try to beat it. There is no way to complete probably 50 pairs in only barely 2 minutes. Especially with how jumbled around everything is. I know thats the point but this is a kids game and you’d think you would make it easier for kids. Having a time limit on each round of the minigame is stupid, if your going to have minigames can you please add multiple minigames to choose from, especially since theres a cool down of an hour on the minigame if you fail it and dont have lives. I know the game is Newer but I think the game would thrive much more if there were more options for minigames. Please and thank you.

We need more mini games!! Pokipet would be a lot better if there were more games to chose from (maybe mini games like candy crush or sonic). Also it would be great if we can have widgets for the lock screen that shows the state of the pet (needs food, is sleeping, wants to play etc.) which is also a short cut to Pokipet . Pls make this your number one priority for the next update. A few things in regards to the shop, can we have it so that ur able to archive furniture u don’t want anymore? All the furniture for some reason is not upgradable only the carpet is? Also can we able to preview the purchase before buying it, since the icon for the furniture in the shop doesn’t match the actual furniture. The chat u can use with ur partner should be able to save so that u can see the messages later if your not in Pokipet . Other than that I love Pokipet, the UI is great and it has all the things u would want from a shared pet app. There’s also no ads!! And if can just have widgets i actually wouldn’t have any complaints at all😭

Pokipet is amazing and gives me joy every single day! However, it breaks my heart to see it sick or unhappy. It feels like a real pet and is very adorable! A part I am not sure is that my pet is getting sick constantly, even when I give it medicine. It keeps getting sick and I have to end up waiting for enough money to heal it, and this can take days! I really wish it to stop getting sick so frequently and to figure out why it's getting sick. Another problem I see throughout the game and from many other users, is the minigame problem. I really enjoyed the idea at first and the fact I can earn money that way, but I just can't pass this one level! There are some pretty easy levels first, but the gap between level 11 and 12 is ridiculous. I really think the devs should study this situation more and perhaps add more minigame options or increase the money earned, or decrease the hardness in the game. On another hand, I really enjoy raising my pets and I have such great ideas for future pet options! Perhaps rabbits, or hamsters! I really recommend Pokipet to those who wish to have a pet, but can't. Overall, Pokipet is simply wonderful and I am hoping to see future updates and wish everyone the best!

I normally never write reviews but this lowkey annoys me. Don’t get me wrong I love Pokipet, 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 Pokipet 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 Pokipet but there are a couple bugs that need to be fixed, thank you.

I love Pokipet so much! It’s so much fun to be able to connect with my partner and take care of our little this app! Best part is that you’re not bombarded with ads or constant glitches like other similar apps and can take the time to genuinely enjoy playing.

My only critique is that I wish there were more options available for customization. You are able to buy collars and hats as accessories, but there is limited selection as they cycle through the same ones every few days. Would love more options for collars and hats as well as possibly other clothing items (sweaters, boots, etc.). You’re also able to select a house and carpet for your pet, but there is only one option for each. I would love it if you were able to customize it to your own choice of color and/or pattern. There’s also only one game to play within Pokipet which isn’t a huge issue for me but could be potentially boring for other users who want to use the game more actively rather than just to take care of their pet in Pokipet .

Overall, I love Pokipet; however, I feel like with the potential it has, it could be improved in many ways. I would definitely recommend it regardless of my few criticisms and would 100% have given it 5 stars if there was more variety and customizations.

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.

I love the game. I have five pets that I regularly check out throughout the day. It’s super cute and fun. I just have a few suggestions.
Number one, it shouldn’t be that easy to run out of coins. My pets are always running low and they always have to go a bit hungry or without some fitness.
Number two, it’s too easy to get your pet confiscated. I woke up and every single one of my pets was confiscated and now they are all back to year 0 which is pretty annoying. My screen time went off and I couldn’t put them to sleep and they all got confiscated. It was one night. It gets pretty stressful when you don’t have time to feed them and exercise them and you get notifications saying “your pet is starving!” When you don’t have time to feed them.
Other then that, I love the game and it’s so fun and cute to own pets with your friends. Thanks for making such a great game!!

i absolutely LOVE this game. i have pets with my friends and we love them both. but, i feel as if there should be more pet options than just a cat and dog. while yes it’s fun and a nice opportunity there are so many pets in the world that people like such as(but not limited to) : snakes, hampsters, birds, rabbits, ferrets, horses, turtles, chinchillas, lizards, goldfish, etc. also if would could have like habitats for them? instead of just a plane background and a little bit of grass and rocks? like and enclosure or cage that we would have to also clean and be able to buy objects for.. i think that would attract way more people to Pokipet especially since you aren’t limited to only 1 ‘coparent’! it’s just a suggestion but i think it’d be a great idea.
