  5. [R13] Widgetable 1/5 · US Doesn't work: I can't feed my pets because the ads don't load, even though my internet is good. I tried reinstalling the app, but it didn't help. · translated
  6. [R16] Widgetable 1/5 · US Donation dump: Everything revolves around spending money. Ads don't load. · translated
  7. [R34] Widgetable 1/5 · US They ruined the app: They don't give rewards for ads. I understand everything, but it's utterly brazen to make us watch ads and not give rewards. Fix it, indie company. · translated
  8. [R4] Widgetable 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
  9. [R1] Widgetable 1/5 · US SO MANH ADDS: Yes this is adorable BUT you can barely take care of the pets because everything cost coins and they are some what hard to get. I expected a free cute little game but no. And everything you do almost gives you an add. In my opinion and my besties opinion it is not worth it. We actually found a better app and this one is just very adds. I also have a feeling that the coin wheel is rig
  10. [R28] Widgetable 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.
  11. [R55] Widgetable 2/5 · US Balancing: The app is adorable in itself, but pets get hungry often and mini-games do not reward very much coins. Even the daily wheel offers such pitiful amounts. 5-10 coins on the wheel? It has zero effect whatsoever and it feels rigged, like the developer wants you to work super hard to purchase a single food item. The only way you can keep your pets healthy is by watching a lot of ads. I think
  12. [R15] Widgetable 3/5 · US It’s okay: First of all if we keep just watching adds for coins it just starts to stop us all of a sudden, Secondly when I play the Widgetable games for coins it says I’m gonna get $400 or $1000 but instead when I finish I only have 100 and something. Third, the money to buy food on here is $100 just for one thing it’s way over price. Even though the widgets are cute the creators or creator make
  13. [R42] Widgetable 3/5 · GB Restarting: Good game like the pets but adds are a bit annoying and stressful. Eggs take forever to get and I only want a dog and two cats, to represent my real life pets. I want to restart the game and I’ve tried deleting the app in many ways like deleting data and backup on Widgetable in settings but I cannot restart the app. It is really annoying I have googled it and even tried turning of my
  14. [R43] Widgetable 1/5 · US Location: They shared my location even though I asked not to
  15. [R22] Widgetable 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
  16. [R31] Widgetable 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.
  17. [R70] Locket Widget 1/5 · US scammy: the fact that you have to request 5 people to join the app is very frustrating and feels like a scam. do not recommend. you either want people to sign up for the app or you don’t.
  18. [R73] Locket Widget 1/5 · US Stupid that requires 5 friends!: Really stupid that it requires adding 5 friends before you can uses the app. Very weird!
  19. [R66] Locket Widget 3/5 · US Sounds and time on videos: I like the app like I really do but I just wish the videos were longer than like five seconds maybe a minute and a half or something like that would be better. And I also don’t like how you can’t hear anything on the videos so you can’t say anything otherwise you’re just talking to yourself. But other than that I really like it.
  20. [R71] Locket Widget 4/5 · US PLEASE add something so that you can hear the sound from the videos!!: i love this app and it’s so fun but it would be even funnier if i could hear the sound.🙏🏻
  21. [R72] Locket Widget 3/5 · US Videos: I feel like videos should be longer than five seconds or you should have value and sound on the videos Spotify music button to put in your video and that doesn’t even play the music! Thank you
  22. [R76] Locket Widget 1/5 · GB CANNOT TAKE VIDEOS (and really bad help center): I cannot record videos on the Locket app. I have followed all the instructions you provided, but the issue persists. The core problem is that the Locket app completely fails to request Microphone access from iOS. Because it never asks for the microphone permission, the app does not even appear in the iOS Microphone settings list, making it impossibl
  23. [R21] Widgetable 3/5 · GB My sorta honest review: I love this game and play it with my bestie and I love it but here is some things I would love improving or adding 1.More food usually you get 1 unless you watch adds 2.too much adds 3.the food is too pricey and other pet necessities 4.I feel the need to add more bedrooms in the house because the max is 5 but it can be frustrating to look after them individually 5.they i
