Community Insight:
We just started Im already having a blast it is amazing but we accidentally keep giving her shots.
Our Catgotchis (Meowy, Missy and Lili) all have glitches. We love playing, but still, we dont love the glitchy kitties. Meowy is stuck on almost full stats all the time, and Ive aged her 969 days, stuck on child stage. Missy, our other Catgotchi, has only 4 columns of energy and Ive had her asleep and full-statted for a day. Same thing with our last Catgotchi Lili, but we found her sick with zero stats this morning. We thought we put her to sleep last night. Then, after cured, we had her sleeping for about an hour or so, and her energy has been stuck on one column. Anyone know how to fix.
We love the game! It's very nice and the animals are very cute! But we wish they added like other animals too. But overall if you don't have friends this game can give you a pet that your parents might not give you! Very cute.
We love this! We have a tamagotchi, but theres no way to like, pause it. So it dies 99% of the time since Im still in school, and its gotten confiscated before. (The other 1% is when we get our big brother to babysit it lol).
This game is outstanding! Its super fun yet so simple. We recommend this game to anyone who loves a fun and engaging game yet is also very calm and simple.
It is a very cute game and it is fun and free. We love it 5 stars.
This game is amazing we think there should be a tutorial but thats all its the best and its free for now it might not be when you read this but yeah its fun and amazing.
We have been hoarding all the tamagotchi apps. The children must be ours (creepy laugh). The handheld ones didnt have ads tho ('') Have a nice day.
A Game that keeps us busy M Mm Mm The only way to get a good pet.
We love this game! They do die if you dont pay attention. We wish there was a button to pet them or something to show affection. We think that would make the game feel a lot more real and we would feel more of a bond with the cat. Other than that great game hope that gets added.
We wish that the cat was not able to dye because we got grounded from our computer so we had to work our way up to adult cat.
Hi Im new to the game but we are having so much fun with our new friend who is the cat great job.
We love this game because its like your own pet and a tamagotchi.
When we were little we always wanted a cat but our grandma was allergic but this made us so happy when we found out about this game! LOVE IT.
Just got the app and it is exactly like having a real tamagotchi and we love it. The adds are fast and arent annoying, one suggestion though energy bar fills up really slow but thats really our only peeve. Over all it is a great game.
The buttons on the games freeze sometimes so we cant move when we want to which results in losing the game. We have the new iPhone and updated software/app, yet for some reason there is a lag/delay in the buttons when playing games to increase our kitties fun bar. Would love this to be fixed.
We love how the creator and their team put all their effort in to making Catgotchi. This game really helps us relive stress at times. The graphics are great, we cant believe how they made it look like an actual tamagotchi cat.
Its a 10 out of 10 app its very nice and its very calming when Im like stress and its also very cute.
We love this game because it makes us feel like shes our best friend and like an acutely pet:).
Your Cat gotchi game is one of the best.
Love this fun retro game on our phone! Basic and easy. Seems a bit silly, but we wish there was a pet your kitty or type talk to your kitty feature to virtually communicateeven if the kitty could send virtual messages, too.
OMG we LOVEEEE THIS GAME ITS THE BEST THING EVER IM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS GAME we RECOMMEND PLAYING THIS GAME ITS LOTS OF FUN.
We got this game and it's soooooooooo cute and fun same with the Dogogatchi game we just love them to much and yes we know this is a short review but still it's the BEST we so wish we knew what else to write because we DEFINITELY would have wrote more.
Honestly, we want something that we could take everywhere with us but now Im second-guessing ourselves and just thinking we can keep this at home we wanted to bring it to school so we can show our friends, but it sends us notification and we dont know how to put our phone on silence so thats on us but its a really great game.
It was July 8th when we got this app we named our cat Felix from the old cartoon it was very easy learning how to keep him all bars full and barely even adds! Its amazing Felix is sleeping while Im writing this its super convenient we can write and hell be getting Energy.
We love this gameso nostalgic, reminds us exactly of our Nano Pet and Tamagotchi from 1997.
We love this game its like actually tamagotchi.
Its so cute and we love cats ( we think cats are better than dogs its just our opinion).
Amazing app! Very cute game!!.. We love the classic 8-bit design. We just wish the character limit for names were longer.. We wanted to name our cat valentino, but we didnt have enough space (so we went with valntino haha..) T.T but besides that, the minigames are cute and traditional!~.
Hi! Just got this game today, and we love it ! The ads are okay we dont really care just a tip or something to change, we were trying to make our cats name hello kitty but it only lets you have a little bit of characters But its okay we named our cat a different name and moved on also we had to just try out the buttons to see what they were for bc we didnt know what they meant,Oops, anyways, the game is great we recommend getting this game for sure.
Personally, we love this game because if your Tamagotchi dies you can get another and if you dont have the money for a Tamagotchi, this ones free! We love it we dont know if you will try this game out. We think youll like it.
This game is it adopt cat game it is very fun! You should buy it. It even has games you can play as well.
This is very similar to a real tamagotchi it is amazing and less annoying to really do reccomend.
Its just so easy and fun we love it.
We love the game in general and we love how you can leave the game and it will still be fine.
So far, we have no problem with this app!! Its fun, and resembles the original tamagotchi pretty well!! We dont like the ads, but we turned on airplane mode so maybe it will help. So if you ever want a tamagotchi, this could be a substitute for it.
It feels like a really Advanced tamagotchi but It does take a while to get it done with sleeping.
Great game wish there was a widget.(:.
We GREW UP WITH THESE DUDE! This just brings back memories these were so popular and fun still are.
We love it? Super fun, relaxing and nostalgic. We just wish it could be a widget too, so we could easily check stats of our pet. Other than that, we love it.
And the mini games are so well designed and cute.
It is like a Tamagotchi Im hungry.
This game is really, REALLY good. Its so cute and has the 90s tamagotchi style kind of thing. Although this isnt necessary, we wanted to know if you could maybe make a widget so every time you go to your screen you could see how your cats are doing. We feel it would be much easier if you could do that. Other than that, this game is great! We wish they would actually sell tamagotchi like these, theyre so cute.
Our cat; Katherine.Is so important to us we cant keep our eyes off of her.
Its pretty good so far. We just wish we could pet the cat.
Its really cool, It doesnt have all these features but its cute and simple, we really like the game.
This game is awesome everyone download this game now.
Thanks you developers for making this wonderful game where you adopt a cat until it grows sadly dies but then you adopt a new cat/love Marshall w Harrison.
First cat Tam died because we didnt know the skull and crossbones meant that she needed a shot so she just suffered to death overnight.
Energy wont go up we keep making it sleep but it wont go up Other then that its good.
