User Reviews

Users praise the app for its cute, varied characters and customization options, including OC creation, and for its clean UI with minimal ads. However, frame editing issues recur: duplicating a frame can modify the original, and the editor lacks independent-frame support and some editing tools.

Pros

Cute and appealing buddy designs.
Huge variety of characters available (many options beyond standard Shimeji).
Customizable and supports creating/owning OC ideas.
Clean, simple UI with minimal ads and straightforward controls.

Cons

Frame duplication can affect the original frame; frames are not independently editable.
Frame editor is limited: only delete or duplicate; no easy way to add an empty frame and no eraser option for fills.
