USER REVIEWS

Ive been waiting for a Tamagotchi-like Pet sim for iPhone for a while now, (Pet Rock is cute, lol) and this one is the closest/best there is to one so far. Great job, Sparebytes, a great start for your first iPhone/iPod Touch game, and look forward to your others in the future!

Wow, I mean I am seriously impressed! The interface is great; I love all of the games and things to buy! Not to mention the brilliant concept for a virtual pet game! I am very impressed with it all. Just keep on adding new games, features, items, etc. I would seriously recommend this to anyone who enjoys cute and fuzzy apps.

This is the BEST pet app in the app store! I bought this because I love these things! I quickly fell in love with it, now my kids love it! And Ive caught my hubby playing it too! We adore this! Great app! Thank you!

Pros and cons of Pet Playpen app for iPhone and iPad

Pet Playpen app good for

The new pet pig is so cute. All of the pets are cute, but the little pig makes this app perfect. I also love the minigames and the store. The new toy items are cute too. I would love at one point to maybe see a hamster or turtle added as another pet. Such a great app and at that low price its freakin sweet!

omg! best pet app ever! get it! its worth more than 2$!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I think the games are fun and the pets are cute, but i certainly wouldnt call this the bestest app in the world. Its entertaining and its great for children.

My kids and I really like this app. Very fun and easy to play. PLEASE increase the number of people/pets you can play so this family if six can each have their own pet. Right now we have to delete one pet from a family member so another can pick a pet and play. The ability for all of us to have a pet would be a great addition to this game.

My girls all love this game. Is it possible to have a reset button that isnt pink and on the opening page where my youngest sees it and clicks it.. Were on accidental reset #3 now. :) We had worked up to having almost all the items, so its a bit discouraging for my other girls. It would also be fantastic if they could each have their own account instead of a different pet with a shared account. Its a great game and my girls aged 3-17 all like to play it!

Ive had my itouch for over a year and this was the first and only app I have bought and I love it!

Some bad moments

Will keep YOUNG children busy. Kind of stupid, because if I do not play it 4 like 2 days, the freaking pet dies!!!!!!!

I was really starting to like the game until it crashed 5 times so i am going to take it off my iPod I have to say good bye to my rock and kitty.................

さあ癒してもらいましょう！と癒される気満々で買ってみたのですが… 見た目とはうらはらに、ゲームがメインのアプリでした…(xx; まあろくに説明も読まずに買った私が悪いんですけどね。餌をあげるのも、お風呂に入れてあげるのも、いちいち（架空のお金で）ものを買わなきゃいけなくて、そのお金を捻出するために必死でゲームをするはめに。その上何をやるにもいちいち無駄に厳しいタイムリミットがあって、忙しいこと忙しいこと。癒されるというよりはむしろ無理矢理働かされている感じでした。私には難易度高すぎて、あえなく挫折。絵柄的にはすんごくかわいいんですけどねえ…。 I wished I could be happy playing with little animals but it was not that way. All busy earning money and doing things in strictly limited times... I felt I was forcedly laboring rather than relaxing playing with cuties.... And I was exhausted (xx;

Cute game and my 5 yo daughter likes it. Glitchy though!! Have to keep reinstalling because the side panels to get toys and do anything basically stop working. They wont appear. Very frustrating for a little girl to continually start over.

I dont like it and think it is a waste of money because I want goo 3d graphics but this does not have that at all. The only pet game I think has those good graphics is the kinect animals app. .p.s if u guys out there dont buy this app if 3d graphics is what u want then buy the kinect animals app it is the same pice but is so much better then this.

I just started playing this like a day ago and its the worst thing Ive ever gotten remove me from the purchased list NOW oh yea p.s. DONT WASTE UR MONEY
