A school problem

When I’m at school how could I help my baby so you’ll probably pee in the bed wishing of everything or she will die? I want my doggie to die and I just came too OK.

Ehhhh?

I personally love dogs, (and cats), so I got this game IT IS SOOO CUTE!!! It is great, but it takes for ever to get your buddy hungry again. The game is decent. But sometimes when it says give baby food, you can’t if your buddy grew up already. I like this game, but it can get, like, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring sometimes!!And I hate, HATE the “rehome” button. Are you supposed to say goodbye forever? And once I was curious what it did and I lost my dog forever!😢 . There needs to be a goal of the game also.You should be able to train your dog too. Plus, there should be REAL furniture too. The dog bed are not enough. I was exited to get furniture because the picture in the owner level menu has real furniture! The game is good, but needs updates. If you’re looking for a fun game to be entertained, not this one, but if you want a relaxing game, THIS IS THE ONE!!

Thirst glitch

I love this game and it’s very cute! But at level 10 I encountered a glitch in which my dog never gets thirsty, so I can’t complete the mission to give her water twice, so I can’t move onto the next level. I’ve tried taking her for walks, playing with her, giving her dry food… but her thirst is stuck at 100%. Please fix!

BUG They cant get thirsty anymore!

Ive waited so long and they cant get thirsty anymore, Ive tried to walk them, wait it out, and nothing. I saw another review like mines and see this is an ongoing issue. Hopefully this gets read. This is a very important bug that needs to get fixed or its unplayable I cant level up anymore. I was enjoying the game until this has happened.

Cute fun game but a few game breaking bugs and explorations are too slow paced.

I had two instances where I needed to give water and pet my cat - but the UI disappeared and nothing was possible. I waited for a full minute but the cat lied down and nothing happened. I had to quit and restart. I can tell that the developers put some effort into this game and it’s very close to being an amazing sim. However a few bugs and explorations feeling a little hollow and progression being a touch too slow makes it ⅗. If it’s patched I will happily give it 5 stars!!! Great work developers!

Great, But needs more

I love this game, and it’s so fun to hang out with the pets and give them names and pet them! The only problem is how it’s not very interesting once you do everything for one day. When your pet is full, isn’t thirsty, is happy and so on and so forth, there’s not much to do except play around with them a bit. I think there could be a little bit more to it.

Bug Report – Thirst Level Not Decreasing

Hello, I recently downloaded With My Buddy on Apple Arcade and I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying the game — it’s incredibly charming and fun to play! That said, I believe I may have encountered a bug: my pet never seems to get thirsty. I’ve waited an entire day, but the thirst level hasn’t changed at all. This is unfortunate, as I can’t progress in the game unless I’m able to give my pet something to drink. All the other needs decrease normally (very fast), but thirst stays the same no matter what I do. It’s becoming a bit frustrating, since I feel stuck and unable to enjoy everything the game has to offer. Could you please let me know if there’s something I’m missing or if a fix is on the way? Thank you so much in advance for your help, and again — amazing job on the game! Best regards, Ari

うーん……

with My DogとCatをプレイしてからこちらに来ているのですが、まず気になった事が複数あります。 1つ目として、鳴き声が初心者の人間が担当してるのか?と思ってしまうような稚拙さを感じてしまいプレイをしていて正直かなり萎えます。これなら動物(もどき?)の音声はなくていいかなー笑 見た目はリアルな感じなのに鳴き声が初心者の人間の物真似レベルて……。 ちゃんと本物の動物の声を録音して使用してますか? 2つ目として、探索や散歩でマーキング場所やマタタビや休憩所などを指示したのかがタップ後に三角が消えたりしないので指示が出来たのか出来てないのか分かりづらいだけで今のところなんこれ状態です。 しかも、ちゃんとタップして指示をしているのにも関わらず動物達がまるで従わず暴れ回る始末。 そこはdogとcatのがしっかりしてましたね〜。草とかがバグっててありえない事に結構な頻度でなりますがw そして最後になりますが種類がdogやcatよりも更に減ってる上に散歩などの背景や、動物達の衣装、餌などが全てdogやcatの引用じゃないですか…やる気あります? 個人的意見ですが、全くやる気が感じられません。 こんな今の状態でこれからも900円を取り続けるんです? さすがにそれは詐欺と訴えられても仕方のないレベルのボッタクリではないでしょうか……

Still love it, just a few (or a couple ideas) you could act on

I’ve been playing for a while now and some of the reviews I’ve seen are people complaining about the gameplay and how it’s “emotionless” and stuff. The thing is I don’t get what they think is wrong with it (MUCH). Update: I just had a few (or so) ideas for what you could maybe add. Maybe you could add more emotions like say they can get sad or upset or annoyed, etc. And please, please, PLEASE try adding more animals that you can (legally) have as pets. For example: Birds, Fish, Bunnies/Rabbits and others (along with the needed things for them obviously). And possibly (this one is just a suggestion) add little “alerts” or maybe even signs from the pets that they’re hungry or thirsty. Multiplayer, possibly? Chat interactions with other players? Accounts even? Maybe even actually play with other people in a 2 to 8 player “server”

Rezension

Das Spiel hat maximal 3 Sterne verdient, aber Apple löscht meine Review weil sie angeblich gegen Richtlinien verstößt. Ich habe diese durchgelesen und nichts gefunden, woran ich mich nicht gehalten habe. Sogar Bewertungen wo man nur Sterne abgibt werden wohl gelöscht, wenn man weniger als 4 Sterne vergibt. Deswegen hier im Text nochmal der Versuch, das Spiel hat wegen mangelnder Motivation nur max drei Sterne verdient.

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH

I have played this game for 190 hours in a little more than a month and I am still playing it is so good! I’ve always wanted cats but my dad Is allergic so it’s really nice that I can finally kinda take care of one! I have a bengal (I think she’s a bengal) named Rihanna and a Japanese cat named Drake and they are SO cute I’m really happy with this game.

Frustrating

This game is really fun but just keeps glitching and freezing! I can’t even quit the app because it won’t save my place. For example it told me to give my buddy water to complete a mission but it won’t get thirsty, and even though I have unlocked decorations and I keep buying the decorations it still says I don’t have any. And one time my buddy was meant to grow up because the bar was full but it won’t give me a paw print. I really liked this to begin with but it’s just disappointing and very, very frustrating. I definitely don’t recommend this game. (A couple of months after deleting the game) Thankyou so much for reading my review and fixing the problems I mentioned. But I just re-downloaded the game and my buddy still sometimes won’t get thirsty when it should be. But I love the new breeds that have been added! Maybe you could think about adding a Pomeranian to the dogs and a fluffy Siamese to the cats. Also maybe include giving your pets baths and trips to the vets. Thanks 😃

cute but needs change

I got this game and at first it was ADDICTIVELY ADORABLE. But that changed. I’ve been stuck on the freaking level to unlock puppies and kittens, but my buddy is just never thirsty! It’s really frustrating, but I have a few changes that I hope you could make please. 1. Please try to debug (no offense) the thirst. I need to get past an important level. 2. Change up the buddy tailoring shop (where you buy the clothes) every now and then 3. Let the owner control where the buddy goes during the expedition/walk 5. Make the jigsaw puzzle in various events simpler. I hope you can debug and make these changes I would really appreciate it. (Ps, thanks for making the sound so cute!)

Doesn’t feel like a finished game

Every single quest will involve petting than brushing (which are fundamentally the same input wise) which makes the leveling up grind heavy. The animation feels lacklustre, and the models? If this was a game going for an old *style* then I’d be kinder, but this feels more like a lack of ability unfortunately. That and the fact that this might be one of the only virtual pet games I’ve ever seen without a bathing mechanic. Features that honestly should be unlocked right away are instead level gated, which feels strange? Why is walking level gated at all? Even if it’s unlocked at a low level, still feels strange. There are only a few different breeds, but the color selection is pretty nice! Two stars purely because I’m a sucker for pet games, but you’re better off trying to get an emulator running for Nintendogs
