User Reviews

Watchi shows promise with a cute, retro Tamagotchi-like vibe and a simple pet-care concept for phones. However, the majority of reviews cite frequent crashes, poor Apple Watch compatibility, and limited content, with many players frustrated by incomplete cross-device support. The idea is delightful, but stability and polish are needed to realize its potential.

Pros

Cute, adorable visuals with a retro Tamagotchi feel.
Nostalgic appeal that fans associate with classic virtual pets.
Engaging concept on mobile when it runs smoothly, with enjoyable feeding/evolving mechanics.
Easy to pick up and play, offering a simple pet-care loop.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes on iPhone and Apple Watch, interrupting core actions like feeding, shopping, and evolving.
Poor Apple Watch support: screen cutoffs on smaller models (38mm/40mm), limited controls, and missing features compared to screenshots.
Very limited, repetitive gameplay with few activities beyond feeding and cleaning.
Cross-device issues: watch and phone experiences don’t sync well and the watch experience is often unusable.
UI/visual glitches and placement bugs (e.g., furniture floating, items behind the TV) that disrupt gameplay.

I was so excited for this game but very disappointed.

This game is adorable, but I got it as a watch companion and the most I can do with it on my watch is hatch it and stare at it. The buttons on the bottom are cut off and there is a big black bar at the top. I don’t know if it’s because I have a series 3 38mm but that shouldn’t matter. Please fix this and I’ll change my review because this seems to have a lot of potential and doesn’t seem to require a workout or movement to keep it alive which is hard when you live in the middle of nowhere in an apartment above someone else in the middle of winter. Update: Continuously crashes on the phone too. Please please please fix these bugs cause this is such a sweet companion game and I really want to play it!
