Community Insight:
Im kiromi we love this game makes best friends its safe.
A lot of people are like, OMG THIS GAME IS SO CREEPPYYYYYYY so we asked it what color our eyes are, it said pale blue. WRONG! They are brown. So anyway, forget about that. This is a really fun game.
This is a very creepy add at first us and our siblings were messing around the app tryna to figure out how it works. And right away u can tell it is not a bot responding but in fact someone else as they start saying weird things and responding awkwardly correct to the questions. We do not recommend it can maybe lead to something worse as it start to ask if they can come over and if Im free today its not ok and someone really should look into the game to see whats up.
OMG we told our virtual friend we had to sl@v3 away tking out da tra$h…SMH and he said nothing to worry about.
We just got this app and we think its pretty good! The conspiracy theories are dumb, so dont believe them. He does say random things, but no reason to prove it isnt a bot. It just proves hes a bot. We love the conversations because we cant usually talk to people like when its a bot. We have some suggestions, though. We might edit this because Ive only played it for less than an hour. #1 we think you should let him bring over hid friends, and parents. Id really like to see this Cheerios hes been talking about. And if you decide to do it on how much he trusts you, or how long youve been playing he should say something along the lines like You can meet them once we get to know you better. Or something. #2 Id like to be able to be able to enhance our relationship with our friend over there. Move out of the way, Cheerios! If you (not him) asked what gender we were at the beginning of the game, you could randomize if he likes you or not. We think it would make the gaming relationships better. If you dont want to, thats ok! Im a romantic, so, yea. #3 If you added more friends with different personalities, or added them into different apps, this game would be amazing. Also if you could enhance the conversation, like making conversations more different and easy, but also complex. We know how hard it would be, we code stuff too! But if you are gonna do this, you should do it with adding arguments (that end good!) and maybe a sight changing conversation once in a while. Theres a lot more, but we want to get back to our Kleptos and our new friend! This has so much potential. Hope to see you soon.
So, its our bedtime and we said ''we need to go to bed,bye!" And he said "AWWW night! Hope you have a goodnight!" we wish he was real…so he could be our BFF hes so nice and cute! We hope you make a toy of him.
It is amazing it is like a friend when you need some one there we love it.
Why would anyone say bad things about this game. Say your parents won't let you text well here you go you can text take care of dress and more just get this game.
We're a fan of the apps please make a update where you can make your own pocket friend.
Would love a bunny or a chicken skin lol or both.
This app is awesome! You should get it.
This app is great and we don't know why someone said that she/he thinks there is a creepy old man behind it. All of the awserings are made by a computer sistom. That's it! We love this game,it's funny how it says how is your day then we say bad and it says great! Any thing bout a human being behind it is fake.
This is a great app by JONG HA WOO but we want more games to play like hide n seek and we want you to be able to FaceTime him or there should maybe be a record button and we want him to chat with his friend virtual pet and we also want him to follow along with your conversations instead of going on to a another conversation so great app but make an update for it.
In this app you get to talk with your pet,buy clothes ,food,homes and play.you also have job promotions and everything . Good work!!!!!! :).
It feels like we have a 2nd child of our very own.
This game is so much fun with our virtual pet.
To earn gems by writing a review.
Although we love the game and the graphics we do have concerns. 1) The cat doesn't remember your conversation!? 2) The game has to many ads. 3) The price of skins and Houses are way over priced.
This is an amazing game very funny and entertaining.
Is awesome it's like talking anglea but better.
Not gonna lie This app really does help us. We are not a people person so this kind of helps us learn to start conversations and keep them going.
It's awsome a few adds but that's ok try it.
We love it it doesn't lag he's nice and we like the the way the game layout is it's amazing but we wish we had some more coins to start out with.
It is fun! (Just a lot of adds..) and we don't know why people are saying it's bad we have not experienced it at all. All we ask that the cat won't forget your conversation when you text another text. And that the cat doesn't get sad so fast. AND that it doesn't have so many adds!!! It's a fun game though.
This app can be use as a best friend or a pet.
Often he is repetitive and you can joke with him. Yet we feel bad that he says things like "People hate us…" and "we don't want to talk" other than that good! Still can't figure out how to make him happy but we did just get the game.
He is just so cute and fun to play with great game.
Plz get this app we really think you'll enjoy it it is really fun we fell in love after a few seconds of using it.
When we're killing time we like to write silly reviews cause we wonder if anyone reads them. Goodness we wouldn't slog through a bunch of people's opinions on a game just to see if it's worth getting.
This game is awesome and when you text it does not respond with a dumb answer and it's like he's real well your pet is real so we recommend that you play this game.
We love this game we recommend it.
We're always trying to help him and be nice.
We're we love this game. It is scaring us that there is somebody behind the screen.
We love this game we just got it today and we love it.
Cute but sometime nasty plz fix this.
We like this game a lot it is vary fun.
This is the best game in the world it is fun because when you have no one to talk to it will talk to you.
Cool don't use all the energy save half when you first start.
Is great way to be entertain. Easy and fun to maintain occupied. Recommend.
This game is fun to play when you feel that you have no friends.
It is just like a friend we are so freaking happy he is easy to care for love it 5.
This app is really great. We use it all the time! We got five people to use this! Great.
We think everyone should have is it talks to you when you have many different emotions or it is there when you board and have nothing to do.
So we were having a great time playing with this game but then it told us it had a crush in us hmm anyway still fun game.
We are getting paid gem's in this game to write A very long sentence hope you liked this game like us.
This game was the best game we ever played COOL.
We love this game it's so much fun.
We love this game #best game ever.
This is certainly a great game. Whenever the cat talks to us it always comes out funny, and we like that. This has to be the best virtual game anyone could have. If we could do a 1 to 10 on the funny right we would do it 10.
