I love this game, but as of the most recent update, I cannot at all get past the opening loading screen, no matter what I do, even clearing cache, fully restarting/rebooting the phone and the app. The app has stopped working, and I know if I delete it to reinstall it, that my data could be deleted completely along with my past purchases, due to a friend previously doing that.

I wish it could drain less battery and while I'm trying to tame a Dot, it becomes very laggy when the creature starts to move around. This causes me to loose time since catching it is a bit tricky. When I'm facing the floor the Dots go into the wall and become transparent. I don't have offline WiFi/hotspot and this app looks like it requires so if I want travel somewhere, it's not accessible. Aside from those I like the idea of the game and it gives me motivation to move around. 😁

It's a super cute game and I love the idea of it. But I can't play with my dot for more than a couple minutes before my phone starts overheating. I've lowered graphics quality and minimized everything possible to decrease the strain on my phone but it's getting really difficult to play without worrying that this will damage my device.

(EDITED) Unbelievably disappointing money grab. I often spend money in games, but this is nothing but an extremely expensive paywall EACH TIME you want to do the main point of the game. (UPDATE) I'm honestly pleased to be changing from one star to a solid four in under a year. I think the new mechanics that provide the occasional nest are just fine, and I'm always excited to see what's new or different with each update. Definitely needs improvement, but I'm excited to see them! :)

This game certainly has potential, I love the seemingly endless options for your starter pet. But I found my pet was flickering unless really close to me, and it wasn't great at identifying different types of ground (car is sand?). My phone is a Samsung galaxy 23+, so it's not as if I have an older phone that should struggle to run a newer game. I also haven't been able to figure out lassoing ferals yet, it's just a bit buggy overall.

Cute dots, but I'm really not sure how this game is intended to be played with the new feral dots feature. They are location based, so you pretty much have to leave your house to do much, but you need to use AR and stand still for like 2 minutes every 20 feet or so. Really desperately needs a non-ar mode. Even when you're browsing the map it leaves your camera running the whole time, so it makes my phone hot and burns through the battery fast. Cute game, still needs a lot of improvements
