About this app

Friends is a social AI companion app with cute virtual pets you grow over time – alone or together with real-life friends.


Raise AI companions, share moments, and build routines for focus, self-care, and connection.
Friends turns everyday life into something more personal, social, and fun. Your AI companions learn from you, adapt to your routine, and evolve based on your interactions over time.

Social AI Companions That Evolve With You
Friends is social by design. Raise companions on your own or together with someone you care about — share progress, moments, and playful interactions along the way.
Every action shapes their personality, unlocks new behaviors, and creates small surprises over time.

Choose Your AI Companion
Each companion supports a different part of your day:


Pengu – A Shared AI Companion for Two People
Pengu is a shared AI companion you raise together with a partner or close friend. Two people shape Pengu’s personality through conversations, choices, and shared interactions over time. Designed for couples, close friends, and siblings who want to build something together.


Mellow – AI Study Buddy & Focus Companion
Mellow is your calm AI study and focus companion.
Mellow helps you stay on track with studying, homework, and daily tasks – adding gentle structure, reminders, and encouragement without pressure.


Bao – AI Self-Care & Habit Companion
Bao is your self-care AI companion for healthy habits and well-being.
The more consistent you are, the more Bao develops – designed to make self-care feel motivating, rewarding, and easier to stick with.


Raise Companions Together
Raise companions with friends, send reactions and gifts, celebrate milestones, and enjoy a shared digital space that grows with your relationships.
Often compared to a new generation of Tamagotchi-style experiences, Friends goes further by combining AI characters, real utility, and shared experiences with people you care about.

Ratings and reviews

At first, I really liked it because of the cute animal and the stuff you could buy and dress it in. However, I've had to update the game 4 times within a week. After the update, it doesn't load correctly. All I get is a black screen. The hearts from when you love the pengu diminish faster than it fills up for the next love. The pet's pet doesn't seem to help. It feels more like a chore if you have to go in every hour.

I want to like it, but it's really just me watching ads so it doesn't die. I HATE games that require you to buy to have a good time. They don't give good stuff to people who do pay. Id have to spend $20 a month for cute clothes on a glitchy app. I don't get rewards more often than I do, the game crashes after I've watched several ads, I have to constantly close out and reload and hope it works. Update - moved to one star. today alone the app crashed 11 times all during ads. I'm uninstalling.

I really want to love this game, but 'like' is even a stretch. It's glitchy. It says you can double your coins by watching a video, but then doesn't give them to you. They say you get "free" spins, etc. but you have to watch a video. That's not free. There are annoying, and frequent, attempts to make you sign up for the premium service. The majority of the cool items are only available for premium. I love being able to interact with my finance though.
