Ratings and reviews

The only problem is that the push notifications don't work, so you have to remember to check it on your own. This can lead to having a bunch of care mistakes that make it hard to evolve it the way you want, and has lead to premature deaths that could have been avoided. Another small personal gripe is that you can't use kana or kanji to name your mon. Other than that, it's exactly what it claims to be. Still a good get if you miss the old school handheld version.

Pros: - If you want a close emulation to the old Digimon Tamagotchi/Pendulum/V-Pet, then you got it! Even the beeps and icons are accurate. - Clever customization which sets it apart from other v-pet apps (can customize the emulator skin to be either the classic Tamagotchi "egg" design or the Digimon "brick"/"cage" design. Can choose from a wide range of colors and themes. Can even change the app background. The seasonal Halloween background even has background animations. - Online fighting is an innovate feature that makes this app stand apart. Cons - Unlike the old Digimon Vpet, there doesn't seem to be a way to synchronize your time with the monster's time. It would be nice if it used the phone's internal clock. An "alarm" or "clock"/"sleep" feature would be great for the reason below. -Care mistakes are inevitable, mostly because your clock isn't synchronized. It seems like I never really get a break from the monster needing something. Which is bad for when you want to sleep with your phone on, or when you just can't use your phone at the moment (work, school, etc.) - Fighting system gets boring very quickly. Other reviewers cover this, but the system is very simple and relies on stats and 50/50 probability. So not that fun. In conclusion: for barebones v-pet apps, this is pretty darn close to the real deal.

It's neat but care mistakes are too easy to make because I can't set my own active hours or simply put the device on hold for a bit. I wish it let me activate it when out and about and turn it off when I'm asleep or busy. I've actually been unable to interact with my pet at ALL for 2 days straight because it's asleep for literal HOURS when I'm awake at night. It's a good idea but too inconvenient to use.
