What Makes Tortoise Pet Stand Out
This is the best tortoise app.

- You can know growth of tortoise in real time.
- Operation is very easy!
Care is very easy. You should feed tortoise once every four days, and clean up only once a week.
Tortoise is very small at first, but it will grow bigger little by little every day.

Community Insight:
We decided to get this app because we have a tortoise named Hershey and Ive had it for two years and a week ago we saw this game and decided to download it and name the tortoise Hershey and we check on it almost every day love this app and recommend if your get a tortoise so you can track how old your real tortoise is.
Our tortoise grocery bag is almost three. We really fw that guy.
This be pretty lit our dudes, our t man Shermy is rockin it bro he be trippin like a boss so we give it 5/5 stars.
We really love this app because it reminds us of our red ered slider.
As a real tortoise owner we feel like this game is amazing and is good for people who want a tortoise so they can practice feeding cleaning and maintaining a good relationship with there tortoise this game is amazing.
We got this app in hopes of making us feel better and it really did. When Im bored we just lay on our phone looking at our little tortoise named Green Bean. We love this app and we hope you guys can make more apps like this with different animals :).
This is so much like our tortoise at home. This gives us so much happiness and everyone should rate this.
The art is cute, the gameplay is nice, our only complaint is that isnt much to do besides basic care.
We always wanted our dad to get us a Tortoise, but we dont believe he is. We love this game because we always wanted to raise a Tortoise of our own. So now we are able to the thing is you dont want to it to die, but it should be great more responsibilityto teach this is teaching you a great responsibility luckily it isnt smelly when you clean! And this is why we love this game. PS we just looked back at this review and by now we have a pet tortoise.
This is a pretty good game and we really like how we can let our turtle move around and the feeding animation is great! We like how realistically animals are and it actually feels like we have a pet turtle. The only thing that you should add is like a drinking area so then we can put our little bunny near the water and he can drink. That would be really cool! But the last thing we want to say is that keep creating more pets like this its amazing. Sincerely MoapYT.
Im going on a field trip. Its 4 days. Youre not allowed to have your electronics. We would like a thingie in the game where you could pause it and time sort of stops. We really dont want our tortoise to DIE. We named him Banana, btw Also, we have a question. Why does it say Completed! Clean once a week. When we have to clean it everyday? Eh, idk. Please take our paragraphs above seriously; we really dont want Banana to die because we were at a no-device field trip. Your game is still awesome.
We really like this game! It's cute and relaxing. We love how you can feed your tortoise and clean the terrarium. The music is also very soothing. Its cool to see the tortoise grow with each and every day. Our only suggestion would be to have the ability to decorate the terrarium. The terrarium looks rather empty and plain. It would be great if you could decorate it! Other than that, we think this game is awesome.
We wish you could decorate the cage but other than that we think this app should be popular, its amazing, we got our red foot a few months ago and we love watching him and the animations for the tortoise are really good, we dont care it looks 2-d, we love the style of it, its done so well.
We forgot about him for a couple days and he died. Devastating.
We updated the game because it said its to support the latest iOS system. We are upset to see that you have added pop up ads to appear whenever we clean the tortoises tank. And there are banner ads at the bottom. Playing this game is no longer the same as before. To the game developers: please remove the pop up ads immediately.
We really like this game it's great but we want a water bar and different foods then this game will be the best.
We Love this app. Taking care of the turtle and listening to the music relaxes us.
This game is really good but we wish that you could do more with the tortoise. Still a great game overall.
We love it but would like to decorate the tank.
This is a great game and it is realizing we love his game.
Should make them into widgets.
Its a really good game but we wish you could decorate the cage. But something they did really well is they got how a tortoise eats exactly. But we wish our tortoise could face upward. Otherwise it is AMAZING.
It is better than Rabbit because of a few things: 1. The turtle curls up in its shell and rabbit never curled up or slept. 2. We can leave it alone for a couple days and its fine and the rabbit died after we were offline for one day. 3. The background is cute and the music is soothing. This is a true therapy pet. Only one thing… Make it a little harder for the turtle to die.
We love this game, but we wish for 2 things. 1. The tortoise wouldnt die so easily 2. You could decorate the tank its in.
We are on day 1 and Im already enjoying it! Her name is Lilly. If we get antor, Im naming it heather. We have an irl tortoise named Clara, we love the virtual pet games from this company! Keep up the good work! We recommend it to tortoise lovers btw, we have an idea for a virtual pet, a pet pig Edit: its been a week since we got Lilly,and shes doing great! Only note So far, we have had her for 7 days but the game says we had her for 1. Plz fix this.only one thing, make it a little harder for the tortoise to die, recently, heather became a reality. And we lost her! We are kinda sad, but at least she is in a better place.
Adorable, and we like the music, but we forgot to check our notifications, and our tortoise died. We wish they wouldnt die so easily.
So we got this game because we have two tortoises. Everything was going ok for a couple of days and when we just did not play the game for a couple of days we come back and then our tortoises is dead apparently. We find that kinda messed up since this game is for kids isnt it? So why would your tortoise be able to die? Also this game can be pretty boring most of the times.
This fame is great if you want to start remembering things and prove youre responsible but it can get a little boring. You cant do anything besides feed and clean. Plus, tortoises are very hardy animals and this says if you do t feed it every 4 days, itll die. But it is cute and we still love watching it eat. If we could change one thing it would be to be able to decorate the enclosure. That could give it your special touch. Plus, we know this isnt important but we dont even know what breed it is. This is our opinion but Ive read other reviews and we know people agree with us.
We LOVE turtles, but, we wish they dont die so easy on the game. One time we forgot to check our notifications and our tortoise died.
