Latest update · v4.1.010

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Bug fixes and performance improvements

Recurring themes

Ads & Monetization negative
Users are highly frustrated by the sheer volume and length of ads, which appear for almost every action, including opening the app, feeding pets, playing games, and even collecting rewards. Many feel the app is a 'money grab' due to the heavy reliance on ads and in-app purchases for essential features, with some ads being inappropriate or scam-like. The developer's notes mention 'bug fixes and performance improvements,' but do not address the ad frequency, which remains a major user complaint.R8R9R10R11
Pet Care & Economy negative
Many users find it incredibly difficult and expensive to care for their virtual pets. Pets get hungry frequently, and food items are costly (e.g., $100 for one item). Earning coins through mini-games is often unrewarding, and users are forced to watch numerous ads to get enough food, making pet care feel like a chore rather than a fun activity. Some pets even run away if not adequately cared for.R11R28R36R48
Bugs & Performance negative
Despite developer notes mentioning 'bug fixes and performance improvements,' recent reviews still report numerous technical issues. These include ads not loading or not granting promised rewards, pets disappearing, camera problems, main menu lag, and inaccurate or non-functional sleep trackers. Some users also report issues with widgets displaying as black screens or the app consuming excessive battery.R3R8R15R16
Social Connection & Features positive
A core positive aspect is the app's ability to facilitate connection between friends and couples. Users enjoy raising pets together, sharing widgets, and using it as a communication tool. The concept is widely praised as cute and fun, enhancing relationships.R1R2R6R7
Design & Customization mixed
While many find the pets and widgets cute, there are complaints about recent design changes (e.g., chibi look) and the removal of features like transparent widgets. Users also desire more customization options, such as more friends, pet levels, and the ability to choose specific pets without paying.R18R39R72R83

Who it's for

Widgetable is for friends and couples who want a cute and interactive way to connect and share experiences through virtual pets and widgets R7R41. It is not for users who dislike frequent advertisements, are unwilling to make in-app purchases for basic functionality, or expect a bug-free experience R8R9.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly concerning ads and paywalls, which contradicts the high lifetime rating. This suggests a recent decline in user satisfaction, possibly due to increased monetization efforts or new bugs.

  8. [R21] 5/5 · US My review: This is a great game I love doing it I like that you can either coparent or raise your kids together and that’s amazing but it is kinda tuff getting money by playing games but you can also watch adds to get everything you need
  9. [R38] 5/5 · US Totally recommend best game ever: Not just like a little game where you just like take care of your pets and stuff no you can actually play different games to get coins help your pets get with your friends and share pets and like raise them. It’s so cool definitely recommend guys you should do it and thank you for reading this anyways and wasting your time so anyways thank you
  10. [R41] 5/5 · US This App Is Amazing!!: If you hesitating to get this app, I recommend to get it! It helps with me and my gf to communicate with each other without really taking in messenger. The cute pets you can take care of together are so cute also!! I love every little fun tracker on there. It’s all so fun to use and so helpful! So if you want to get this app,but you’re waiting for a bad reply please check it
  11. [R8] 1/5 · US Ads Galore: This app has SO many ads. You can’t do anything without either paying for a feature or watching an ad. Furthermore, sometimes when you watch an ad, you don’t even get the reward you were promised because of a glitch. I was watching an ad to get a reward, and when I clicked the x, it said “reward granted” but it never gave the reward. Then, 10 seconds after that, the app said “take a br
  12. [R47] 1/5 · US too many ads.: way too many ads. i’ll be playing a game for coins and need a tool to help and after i finish that ad it gives me 2 more. once you get sam ad it says “1 of2” so every time your watching two ads or one that’s 120 seconds. you get too many ads additional to the ones that your going to end up needing for your pets care. not s bad game at all but considering deleting over these ads.
  13. [R83] 1/5 · US Hate new update: To sup it up there are so many ads mainly repeating ads and can't do anything without watching a stupid ad or you could pay like 15 bucks a month for premium also I hate the new tracker update because it doesn't show like the cute little emojis anymore
  14. [R136] 1/5 · US Overridden with Ads: Every single thing is followed up with like 2 minute ads and you can’t do anything without having to watch an ad every 2 minutes. The game consists mostly of watching ads which feels exploitive of the children that download this game to raise little animals. They got little kids over here watching ads about investing and crypto for 99% of the gameplay, they’re not personalized
  15. [R9] 2/5 · US Only usable if you pay for pro: The app is cute and the games are fun, but even when you pay for pro you still have to watch ads to get help playing the games. I feel like if you're paying for pro, you should at least get one free hint/help option a day.
  16. [R10] 1/5 · US Only works with a subscription: Garbage. · translated
  17. [R11] 4/5 · US Food: I love doing this with a friend, but it’s incredibly hard to stock up on food, you get so little coins and you have to watch a lot of ads to get food
  18. [R28] 2/5 · US Adds and price: When you first get into an app u are hit with an add and the adds they give u are so long. Also the price to get things is 100 for everything and I have to go through so many adds to get that money😤 and they need so much food sooo do Yall see the problem
  19. [R36] 1/5 · US 🫩✌️: It is GENUINELY so hard to take care of pets. I have 3 with my friend and ITS SO HARD TO FEED ALL THREE. their hungery every 30 minutes and it’s hard to get food and it very hard to get coins.
  20. [R48] 5/5 · US Yippee!! This is a very goood game I LOVE IT except The VERY OVERPRICED FOOD but besides that its👍: This is a GREAT GAME , I ABSOLUTELY love it ! except the VERY OVERPRICED FOOD but besides that it’s GREAT! Maybe you should leave a review too ! After you SEE THIS GREAT GAME
  21. [R3] 3/5 · US pin it error: I can’t flip the camera if I want to send a pin it photo, what is the problem in the app?
  22. [R15] 1/5 · US Doesn't work: I can't feed the pets because the ads don't load, even though my internet is good. I tried reinstalling the app, but it didn't help. · translated
  23. [R16] 1/5 · US Donation dump: Everything is tied to making payments. Ads don't load. · translated
  24. [R135] 3/5 · US More friends: It’s a good app but I want to be able to have more then 5 friends I have more then 5 friends who are on the app and I want to be able to friend them
  25. [R185] 1/5 · US Chat history: Let me have my chat history with my friend on my new phone, it's just not there at all even when using the same account and it's really frustrating especially when you guys got rid of data migration, I will give 5 stars if this is fixed as that is my only complaint
  26. [R229] 2/5 · US Only for duos: I wanted to use this for my trio but this app only lets you share a widget with one person at a time instead of two or more, so you can’t have more than friend per widget.
  27. [R290] 3/5 · GB its fine i guess????: its good and i like the features. i js dont get why everythings pay to win and u can only have 5 friends
  28. [R39] 4/5 · US The pets are adorable!!!: 10 out of 10!!
  29. [R72] 1/5 · US Fine but one thing: I just want to be able to pick which one I get without having to spend money
  30. [R274] 3/5 · GB It’s a good app but…: I downloaded this as a cute way to track my sleep with my friends but I’ve been having a few issues with the tracker turning itself on when I’m not asleep and it doesn’t give me the option to stop tracking my ‘sleep’. It also shows completely inaccurate tracking data the next day which is also very frustrating to me and should have an option to change what the app has tracked
  31. [R441] 3/5 · GB SLEEP TRACKER DOES NOT WORK: I activated the sleep tracker and did all the steps to put it on but it still says unknown and it’s really annoying but the other stuff are good!
  32. [R478] 3/5 · GB sleep tracker is so inaccurate: me and my bsf decided to get this app purely for the sleep tracker but it’s so inaccurate, it always says we both wake up extremely early at like 6/7 but we wake up hours later. i think it’s because we had to set up our sleep data on apple’s health app and that made us choose a wanted bedtime routine and i chose to wake up at 6:30 for school so now i’m ALWAYS waking
