I love this app!! I works beautifully and it has limited adds, not too much and you could pay for them out! they also have another website you can look for ideas which I think is pretty cool. the only thing that makes this a 4/5 Is that I wish there was more thing the characters could do apart from the basic walking around a climbing, there's probably more but I haven't found it after months of having this app but I definitely 100% recommend!

This app seems to good to be true but so far I have not come across one and Ive has it for almost a week! There are a several cute characters available for free, while other apps like to put a price tag on everything AND make you watch ads it seems. This one has some ads but so far they've been very very short. It says you can find more characters online but I have not tried it yet. ALSO you can create your own custom character manually or with AI and I just cannot get over it. 💖🐥🐶😻🐰🐧💖

I loved this app and made so many characters until this new update. First of all, they added a new mascot editor that seems harder to use because now you have to scroll to edit your custom character and the worst part of it is it doesn't even save up to which slide you're working on for your mascot. Second of all, all of the options you have to choose from the local side look like they were generated by AI when it says we can't use AI to make shimeji mascots.

the characters have cute animations, and are generally high in quality/definition. However, the characters available are very limited. it would be great if there was a character request area, or options to "fund an artist" to make more. Put simply, please continue expanding the character library. it caters to an extremely select amount of fandoms.

I would give 5 stars but since you can only get 2 for free I just stuck with 4 stars... obviously I know they need to make money some how bit still it'd be cool to be able to get more than 2 at a time.. also just a warning they do go over all of your apps,, so if you were typing they do get a bit in the way,, but you can move them out of the way with a single swipe. You can also interact with them a little bit. Ooo and they have quite a few options and characters from shows which is very cool!
