DiNostalgia Widget
INSTALLATION:This app is a pure widget, so it is not supposed to appear in your list of Applications, but on the list of Widgets. To start playing, you must drag the widget to an empty space on your phone or tablet screen. In case of doubt, check this tutorial on how to configure the widget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25GWVW-22U&list=PL6Mz0TrK-0qZAncTTpN4f20FujshuCpMd

omg this is like a blast from the past the only thing I seem to be having issues with is the audio is not working at all, I tried adjusting the volume on my phone, turning off and on the audio still no luck. Also it would be nice to know what everything means when you click on the clipboard icon and even the one that looks like a fan, and one last thing it would be cool to have more colors to change from, but still super fun.
I Think this is one of the best vpets (virtual pets) that is simple, fun, and nostalgic. I absolutely love how the app is very small only taking roughly 5 mb once installed. And the widget capability is great! Once you find out what all the menu items are the pet is easy to manage. If you want to find out what these menu items are just simply check the description of the app on the play store. I recommend anyone who has enjoyed Digimon/Tomogatchi type games, to get this game! I think its worth your time! :)
Nice widget, fun to play around with. Cute pixel graphics. Like a Tamagotchi for your phone. There' a bug where rice doesn't feed your creature, otherwise everything works. Features I'd like: 1) a tutorial because figuring everything out is difficult if you've never had a Tamagotchi or sth. like that, 2) feeding one portion filling one food meter slot, feeding currently takes annoyingly long, 3) a pause gameplay option for those of us who can't constantly be on their phone for a virtual pet
Very cute, but not intuitive. Also the ending is too sad! It would be great if it could be updated. Details: ~There should be a pop-up notification when you first open the app, telling you how to find the tutorial. ~If you complete the game, your pet will turn into an angel on day 11. And then it will die on day 12 :( I remember one of the tamagotchi type toys I had as a kid... I think the pet like went off to college?? It put on a little graduation cap and waved goodbye or something lol.
It was fun at first but there 2 very annoying things: at least once a day the dino gets sick and you have to spend a long time giving food, drink, playing etc. from 0 stats. This shouldn't be happening every day. Playing with the dino also takes too long, I don't have that much time to dedicate to this and I bought the expansion, set the dino to easiest, reset but there is no difference. Please fix this because I feel like I have wasted money on the expansion.
This is the cutest game, if I was the i would be think of adding a few features add a setting where you can make the widget smaller or bigger and turn it on for the first time you could select a pet and be able to change the colour more. Any ways, it's an amazing I recommend every one in whole the world download it! SUPPA CUTE GAME
So yeah,this is one great app. I might go buy some expansion pack soon,I hope it won't mess up. Just a suggestion if you can add some background,not as widget's shell color,but the background on the screen of the widget. But overall,great job. 😁👌🏻
This was one of my favorite toys as a kid, my cousin had one in the 90s and let me play w it. I love and need this nostalgia in my life, thank you so much for this. A FEW SUGGESTIONS: Can you add more background colors? Like black w blue or purple buttons, purple with blue or orange buttons, etc? I guess to add mixed varieties of black, blue, orange, and purple since that would be awesome. Again, thank you for this DiNostalgia. My favorite. 👌💯
This is awesome, it really takes me back to the good old days when this was the cellphone that I was glued to. My only complaint is that I really wish this game had a night shift option for time. There are a lot of people out there who would enjoy this who have to work nights. If you would make this possible this game would be perfect
Love it! But it needs updating a bit, the background colours could be expanded, the type of animals could be expanded, perhaps a cheeky 'tama' theme???
This app is simply amazing, a very faithful reproduction of the chinese dinkie pets from back in the day (their tamagotchi-like pet). Same graphics and feel, even the 4 classic cases, and the expansions look amazing (I'm surprised it includes the tako seijin!). Will totally get them later on. The fact that it plays as a widget is also brilliant!
Loving this! Love that there is a widget, love all that you can do with your pet, especially love the addition of education! I was planning on buying a tamagotchi but this is honestly better, and on my phone! I just wish there was an option to make it blue instead of just red, yellow, green and white. I would even pay for this option, thinking I'm probably gonna donate to support anyway though just because this is such a perfect digital pet!
very similar to the original. Options to buy more pets, change waking hours and more! My pet died overnight because I don't get up that early but it had evolved once(2/3 gameplay days) . so that's kinda good for me (i never had an original live long either. Samsung a40 widget player
This is amazing! I had exactly same one when I was little, in Russia, and I remember playing it so much. I've searched for years to find it, thinking it's called dragon tamagotchi and could never find it anywhere. Now I finally can play it again, perfect for nostalgia 🤩🥰 I really missed this. Also, app itself is great, I dont have any issues. Thank you creator! I wonder if those are still sold as physicals, but cant find any myself
It's a great app I loved playing this with my Tamagochi when I was a kid thank you so much for making this. There is one annoying problem though. The pet get's sick every day and you have to do all of the feeding and playing all over again while the original pet back in the day got sick like once or twice at max during it's entire life cycle. Also playing and feeding it takes way too long than I remember. If you can fix this please do it and I'll give it 5 star
Great substitute. But the sound effects suddenly disappeared despite being turned on. I cant find any sound settings on my phone to change this ☹️
Flashbacks to childhood big time! My kids and I love playing with the Tamagotchi on my phone. Only thing is the rock paper scissors game goes for 6 rounds not 3 and then doesn't actually show you what the score was by colouring the relevant hearts. Other than that great game!
Fantastic nostalgic dinkie dino like the one I had as a kid. The only think wrong is the colour "yellow background" is too bright and low quality. The operation is perfect though!
Good game, but you should change how some things work. First of all, none of the sleep patterns fit my schedule. You should add a custom sleep pattern, and please make it free. Secondly, could you add a pause button?
It seems like the progress on widget do not sync with the app and vice versa. So its like you are taking care of two tamagotchis. The concept of the widget is actually good if not with the syncing problem.
Only on day 1 but been lots of fun. Is there a way to turn up the volume on the sounds and notifications? changing widget size didn't seem to work for meet. Overall though, gameplay just like I remember it.
I loved it! But the game is crashing very often. A suggestion: change the quality of the game. When I use the color green or yellow, it's not so good. Thank you so much for developing this game/app... s2
Simply wonderful!!! I loved the experience of playing with it again! So nostalgic! I'm such a big 34 year-old child here... That's addicting! Also got touched when I saw the baby dino being born... haha. I couldn't be more thankful! It aroused great memories in me! You deserve thousand stars!
Had the physical Dino giga pet when I was five years old, Finding this widget absolutely made my day and brought back strong old memories. Thank you for creating this awesome app/widget. 10 Stars if I could!
The complete nostalgia package with the exact same features and with a slightly customizable twist! Thank you! It's cool to look back in time ❤️
I love this game! It brings me back to when I first had a Tamagotchi! But as a night owl, my pet constantly dies in it's later stages, and I would rather not pay to change it's schedule to fit mine. It needs to be one of the options that should be made free. Also, there needs to be more game variety than rock paper scissors. As the only way to increase it's happiness, it is annoying for the pet not to pick up when I'm spamming one of the options, even at max intelligence.
