Ratings and reviews

I didn't realize how badly I needed this little oddball game (interactive friend??). It was the perfect find for needing something low key, unique, and no pressure to compete or grind. It's easy to get through the unique events each day in moments, but every day I remember to come back is something beautiful and different. An incredibly charming and artistic app!

This app is wonderful. I've tried other mental health pet apps in the past, but they were either too childish or uninteresting. I deleted them all and when I came across Bird Alone I almost didn't download it. I'm glad I did. Bird Alone is perfect. It's engaging and immersive without being overly complex or feeling like a chore. The personalization makes you feel deeply connected to the character, and the conversations and advice are integrated seamlessly into the game without sounding cliché.

I've heard a lot about the app Bird Alone and wanted to try it out myself. However, the app wasn’t responding every time I opened it. First, there was a white box that I clicked, then it started loading, but the screen turned all black. I exited and tried again, but it still wasn’t working. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it, but that didn’t fix the problem either. I'd hope for this issue to be fixed so I can enjoy the app, thank you!
