<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/aliexpress-shopping-app/id436672029">AliExpress</a></span></b><br /> This isn't so much a review of the app but a walk through of how to get the best experience out of using AliExpress.<div><br /><div> AliExpress gets a bad reputation due to the amount of low quality bootlegs, defective goods and nightmare fuel toys. However, there is a way to get a good experience out of shopping through the app, including getting free goods and discounts.</div><div><br /></div><div> I highly recommend using the app over the browser website. If someone feels inclined to use the browser app, I suggest using it with the <a href="https://www.joinhoney.com/explore">Honey</a> browser add on installed. It will automatically add coupons to get you the best price.<br /><div> The app has features that the browser version does not such as... freebies.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE1pyrXAGBYRgLElE44BbWwIsoCoea7CNQfDZo-KFzaHnkyoMvnLzsCrakmSu3Mbyfg-Scwblfjwl-eEEVWZqPb9-vAEg-HuHPcYpw-v8IovaE872RNOPX0m-JU9oqwLE-mj7obQ4Aazw/s750/image7.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="294" data-original-width="750" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE1pyrXAGBYRgLElE44BbWwIsoCoea7CNQfDZo-KFzaHnkyoMvnLzsCrakmSu3Mbyfg-Scwblfjwl-eEEVWZqPb9-vAEg-HuHPcYpw-v8IovaE872RNOPX0m-JU9oqwLE-mj7obQ4Aazw/w400-h156/image7.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><u>Freebies</u></span></b></div><div> This feature is only available to users who access AliExpress via the app. You can find the <b>Freebies</b> tab in two places on the app. Towards the top of the <b>Home</b> page and in the <b>Games</b> section of your <b>Account</b> page.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuXsYYPF4AvrZvsFZKJy-1kjP6jDysJW46EgutL5CSxYWiuP1GQrOUQc6feT1vSj9AEabqLgL1tGdBTtPy58A47yJNcjZeiq2IsE-5tTByPDf_eH88AFIUU1ohoKjTZQkdUbD8JuvnLrM/s750/image6+%25281%2529.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="657" data-original-width="750" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuXsYYPF4AvrZvsFZKJy-1kjP6jDysJW46EgutL5CSxYWiuP1GQrOUQc6feT1vSj9AEabqLgL1tGdBTtPy58A47yJNcjZeiq2IsE-5tTByPDf_eH88AFIUU1ohoKjTZQkdUbD8JuvnLrM/s320/image6+%25281%2529.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div> Users can apply for up to 2 freebies a day. The daily reset is at the same time every day. Keep an eye on your <b>Won</b> tab as freebies won must be collected within 48 hours. You can also see unclaimed freebies in the <b>Unpaid</b> tab under your<b> Account</b> page. Technically the freebies aren't completely free. They require you to pay 1 cent (Or your country's equivalent). Now doing this can sometimes be tricky depending on how you are paying. If you have won a freebie but are having trouble claiming it I will give you a quick tutorial below. This is only if it isn't letting you claim your freebie. Most people won't need this.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2RTp3pPuA2yZ6d_OicmoejQW2TRA-eZFglYZ7SsPfkN455a-ErBqC2eLugS2KbR31jXwqu8zcMEqsILLLwphqGm0MqNaKAeAO1KGb3f4DN1EhylLCbDIbcdq6PC3tdjl-Ziq-PJ9waWE/s1247/image5+%25281%2529.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1247" data-original-width="750" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2RTp3pPuA2yZ6d_OicmoejQW2TRA-eZFglYZ7SsPfkN455a-ErBqC2eLugS2KbR31jXwqu8zcMEqsILLLwphqGm0MqNaKAeAO1KGb3f4DN1EhylLCbDIbcdq6PC3tdjl-Ziq-PJ9waWE/w120-h200/image5+%25281%2529.jpeg" width="120" /></a></div><b><i>Optional Freebie Claiming Tutorial:</i></b> If a freebie is in your unpaid tab but it won't allow you to claim it due to being such a low amount (Usually happens with CC purchases) add any small item to your cart. Try something you were already planning to buy or just whatever the cheapest thing in your wish list was. Go to pay and as the Credit Card verification is loading exit out quickly so it won't go through. When you reload the app whatever you were trying to purchase i s now in your <b>Unpaid</b> tab with your freebie. You'll need to do this next part <u>in a browser</u> instead of the app. Log into AliExpress in your web browser and go to your <b>Unpaid </b>tab. Click the "<b>Select all</b>" box (This box is only visible in the browser version). Now pay for all of the items together. Allow it to process and <i>boom</i>. Your freebie is paid for and will be shipped to you soon.</div><div><br /></div> Once you have your freebie make sure to go back to the<b> Freebie</b>s page and write a review for the freebie. Whether it is a positive or negative review won't matter but writing a review will increase your odds of winning more freebies in the future. Not writing a review will hurt your chances of winning more. So remember to review! Take photos of the packaging as well as the product to add to the review. Popular reviews will work in your favour.<br /><div><br /></div></div><div><b><u><span style="font-size: medium;">Bootlegs</span></u></b></div><div> Whether you are against bootlegs or not, you can still use AliExpress. Remember that AliExpress is a marketplace like eBay and Amazon. There are a lot of knockoffs in all of those marketplaces. However, there are also legitimate store fronts. The trick is to finding the right ones if you want to avoid bootlegs. There are artists and small businesses with shops on AliExpress such as <a href="https://zomoplus.aliexpress.com/store/5884434">Zomo Plus</a>, which sells custom keycaps. <a href="https://wonderfullife.aliexpress.com/store/5069094?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000007.1.61027ac16vDYQW">Wonderful Life</a> store on AliExpress is the official seller of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqhfcNyB4xv6QMk5PHiwpjQ">Zizai Orangebrush's Devil's Love</a> goods.</div><div><br /></div><div> If you are unsure whether something is a bootleg or not be sure to check the details. If they list the brand then they are stating it is not a bootleg. Reviews and photos that show tags, logos, etc are also good indications.</div><div><br /></div><div> If you purchase something you believed was an official product and are shipped a bootleg, you can open a <b>Dispute </b>and receive a full refund from AliExpress. AliExpress does not condone false advertising and bootleggers and not only will they refund you but it will be a mark against the store you purchased it from. Stores with too many marks against them get closed. So doing this will help the community. <u> I will explain the dispute process further down</u>.</div><div> If you don't mind bootlegged goods but would prefer avoiding poorly made ones, that is also fairly easy if you know how.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoCSor75tZSeKa27-82sw84XoRE1P2Wq3ZavTgEmGZJjDWDAAUNsXY54uyQixPMw1bWMc8saLY6BlB5Fg2R_1itrEL9ktBAPiGOVKqQK0sDdRKpD9I2Wfy7EIauD9H3TSglSU5IH0mcPU/s750/image3+%25282%2529.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="359" data-original-width="750" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoCSor75tZSeKa27-82sw84XoRE1P2Wq3ZavTgEmGZJjDWDAAUNsXY54uyQixPMw1bWMc8saLY6BlB5Fg2R_1itrEL9ktBAPiGOVKqQK0sDdRKpD9I2Wfy7EIauD9H3TSglSU5IH0mcPU/w400-h191/image3+%25282%2529.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div> Again, checking reviews is important. Not so much for what people wrote but to look at the photos. Fake reviews may give the product 5 stars but fake reviews don't add photos. And photos are a great way of checking the product quality. If there are no photos or you suspect the product may be of low quality, but really want that product there is a good way to handle that as well. This is also a great way to use AliExpress as a way to find cute stuff without actually shopping on the app at all. Because bootleggers will often use official product photos... Save the official product photo from the AliExpress page and go to <a href="https://www.google.com/">Google</a>. Click the little photo/camera icon in the search box to do an image search (Or use google lens). This should lead you to the official page where that image came from. Then you can purchase the genuine product without having to worry about quality. I have personally done this several times.</div><div><br /></div><div><i><b>Things to Avoid:</b></i> As a rule of thumb the following product categories should never be purchased from AliExpress unless you are 100% sure it is a genuine official branded product and not a cheap bootleg.</div><div>*Makeup</div><div>*Electronics</div><div>*Beauty/Skin Care</div><div>*Anything that goes in your mouth or eyes (Such as contacts or baby dummies)</div><div>**If purchasing goods for babies or children always wash and sanitise thoroughly before allowing the child to touch the item.</div><div>This is because many bootlegs are made in unhealthy conditions. These items could be dangerous and/or toxic. Electronics can often overheat and explode or burst into flames. It is best to avoid any chances of these situations occurring. Also, I shouldn't need to say this but please <u>do not purchase bootlegs of official goods with the intent of reselling them</u>.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm6hryQpQuYHhsKetWxzvfEFFGvTZIrawjyat_zCXtYLuXITZY35hU7-2tdIc9T5tJYErALVQ9opt_Sik64Bnh03Kv8GEh2zblL91qLh0auqmtNAtramlXmh6QDqZO-5WinNug-V0t1XE/s640/image2+%25282%2529.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="295" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm6hryQpQuYHhsKetWxzvfEFFGvTZIrawjyat_zCXtYLuXITZY35hU7-2tdIc9T5tJYErALVQ9opt_Sik64Bnh03Kv8GEh2zblL91qLh0auqmtNAtramlXmh6QDqZO-5WinNug-V0t1XE/w93-h200/image2+%25282%2529.png" width="93" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnekbBsDgLvc0PNi03nmgkbJCxrf0qgQ7gwf8w2xAa4i8R7YXs2TBo7MQIFxqzpN13sNEQsVgU_de31EMz66og2G58WXeCXqkdZXwEBNbGJ3Xqu8GtLfFvQKVGchx1KP393sRXGNwV1t4/s640/image1+%25282%2529.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="295" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnekbBsDgLvc0PNi03nmgkbJCxrf0qgQ7gwf8w2xAa4i8R7YXs2TBo7MQIFxqzpN13sNEQsVgU_de31EMz66og2G58WXeCXqkdZXwEBNbGJ3Xqu8GtLfFvQKVGchx1KP393sRXGNwV1t4/w93-h200/image1+%25282%2529.png" width="93" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGSFpHko-3F5_amn-wIsz02f49UhmYTANN3-SomJDWPJ2DqaYEovvo6kee8bpL14KQ-ekq9pVWTFYywUFipXfXTMZkNzwWLHPFpumk_PZc-5rKJEgr0bwL2Cm2vax7DKM6BjlF-H3bq0/s640/image0+%25283%2529.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="295" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGSFpHko-3F5_amn-wIsz02f49UhmYTANN3-SomJDWPJ2DqaYEovvo6kee8bpL14KQ-ekq9pVWTFYywUFipXfXTMZkNzwWLHPFpumk_PZc-5rKJEgr0bwL2Cm2vax7DKM6BjlF-H3bq0/w93-h200/image0+%25283%2529.png" width="93" /></a></div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><u><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Coins and Coupons</span></b></u></div><div> There are lots of ways to earn coins on the app. You can tap the Coins tab at the top of the <b>Home</b> page or on the <b>Account</b> page by scrolling down to the <b>Games</b> area.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd0r3yoLUxLBy8i8is21bijh1F9EBDkrIKj98OD1WSFiwxpGv4QRTNgx0oGmXKY2vt_r-oh8hpF-VXkf2-paLq04G6SsJS3cMDJy1qbit1Rs4gf3LbcdQJDYnA4e3-6T7aEmxCoKqO-Rc/s786/image2+%25281%2529.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="786" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd0r3yoLUxLBy8i8is21bijh1F9EBDkrIKj98OD1WSFiwxpGv4QRTNgx0oGmXKY2vt_r-oh8hpF-VXkf2-paLq04G6SsJS3cMDJy1qbit1Rs4gf3LbcdQJDYnA4e3-6T7aEmxCoKqO-Rc/s320/image2+%25281%2529.jpeg" width="305" /></a></div> Playing the games will earn you coins, as well as tapping the treasure chest on the same page as <b>Fantastic Farm</b>. You get coins for tapping the chest every day. The more consecutive days you do this, the more coins each day gives you. Sometimes they will even add temporary games you can take advantage of for a limited time to get coins and coupons from. Make sure to always take advantage of these.</div><div><br /></div><div> There are multiple ways to use coins but the best way is to convert them into coupons. <i>However</i>! Do not convert them into store specific coupons unless you absolutely want to buy stuff from that shop. What you want is an AliExpress coupon. This will be applied to your entire order, no matter how many shops you are purchasing from. Though do not convert your coins until the day you intend to use the coupon. They expire quickly and you don't want to waste it.</div><div><br /></div><div> To get an AliExpress coupon go to the <b>Coins</b> tab (Or Fantastic Farm under Games). Next to your farm plot you'll see some buttons on the left. <b>Tasks</b> and <b>Coupons</b>. Tasks is another way to earn coins but sometimes it doesn't work correctly. The Coupon tab is what you want to click. <b>NOTE:</b> <i>Do not tap the Coupons tab on the Home page. This only takes you to the coupons you have And tapping Get Coupons from that page takes you to the Friend Invite Coupons only (Yes, it is designed to be confusing for some reason. But that is why I am here to help)</i>. When you are on the Coupon page accessed from the Fantastic Farm/Coins page you will see at the top a way to convert your coins into AliExpress coupons. There are a limited amount available, so if they are gone, wait until tomorrow and go to the page earlier. The AliExpress coupons ad the best coupons on the app because they can be used with any purchase.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUSxPrL5N5bnvGdDSRGy3rjcTlf-IU00LJnv_8GOj3zGEKgFY9EeNVEe_hV0Elr5Ciz4w7CoJRC2e1rBQ3yTpbluQWOVKXSTFOy6tWIhUikvRtEBpzuV6hMt11iaFYK3Qv8FksQeStyBQ/s983/image3+%25281%2529.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="983" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUSxPrL5N5bnvGdDSRGy3rjcTlf-IU00LJnv_8GOj3zGEKgFY9EeNVEe_hV0Elr5Ciz4w7CoJRC2e1rBQ3yTpbluQWOVKXSTFOy6tWIhUikvRtEBpzuV6hMt11iaFYK3Qv8FksQeStyBQ/s320/image3+%25281%2529.jpeg" width="244" /></a></div></div><div> Users can also get store specific coupons fairly easily. At checkout you can apply coupons to items in your cart directly from that page by tapping the Add Coupon option above each store you are purchasing from and selecting whichever applies to your purchase. These can be used together with AliExpress coupons. Just remember to activate your AliExpress coupons before completing checkout.</div><div><br /></div><div> If you have a lot of friends who you would like to invite to AliExpress you can take advantage of the above mentioned<b> Friend Invite Coupons</b>. Tap <b>Coupons</b> from the <b>Home</b> page, then <b>Get Coupons</b> at the bottom of that page. You will see a way to invite friends to get coupons. For example inviting 2 friends will get you a <b>3 Dollar Off</b> coupon. Or go to your Account Page and tap the Invite Friends box. Share your code and those who use it will get an <b>18 Dollar Off</b> coupon and you'll get a <b>2 Dollar Off </b>coupon (My Code is INQ97U2D). <u>Only 20 AliExpress Platform coupons can be obtained per month.</u></div><div><u><br /></u></div><div> You can also receive <b>Cash Back</b> if you are able to persuade others to purchase things that you have purchased. This is especially useful to influencers or people who have a lot of friends who buy similar types of stuff. Taping the<b> Cash Back</b> box from your <b>Account</b> page you will see a list of your recent qualifying purchases. Each will have an Invite button below it. Share the link with friends and if others purchase the item using your link, you get cash back on your purchase.

At the bottom of the app tap the <b>Feed</b> tab. From there click <b>Live </b>(Or click the Live button from the top of the Home page). Any shops giving away free stuff during their live shows will usually have it printed on the thumbnail for their live show. These are pretty easy to use. Just tap the show and follow whatever instructions to get the free stuff. Sometimes just being logged into their live show will give you a chance of winning the free stuff, Other times they will require you to type a response when it is time to choose who gets the free items. Some will make it a game where you answer questions or they spin a wheel to see what you win. Whatever way that store does it, this is an easy way of getting free stuff. Especially if you join the live shows of people who have less viewers (Less competition increases your odds).<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><u>Refunds and Disputes</u></span></b></div><div> Whatever issue you had with your transaction can easily be addressed in the app. Item never arrived? Received defective goods? Fell for a bad bootleg? It is proper protocol to talk to the seller first. However, due to language barriers sometimes this doesn't go well. Still, one should always make the effort. Many sellers will offer coupons instead of a refund for poor quality products... I suggest not taking this option. You already purchased a bad product from them, why would you purchase more? If you believe you deserve a refund, insist on a refund.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6uG03uldXWvD41kZR_uoRUlkFpLxHcHR-85qWM57wAcPB3g41qPQAkksrGVKQMRL8pUA5ktd6VgXsxiYmBLEL_5alXZNRbQ34B8-3Qmd8g0O5x8YVPF2A8NgaTxdKLwu2Icyd6LTQdtQ/s931/image1+%25281%2529.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="931" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6uG03uldXWvD41kZR_uoRUlkFpLxHcHR-85qWM57wAcPB3g41qPQAkksrGVKQMRL8pUA5ktd6VgXsxiYmBLEL_5alXZNRbQ34B8-3Qmd8g0O5x8YVPF2A8NgaTxdKLwu2Icyd6LTQdtQ/w258-h320/image1+%25281%2529.jpeg" width="258" /></a></div></div><div> Sellers can issue a refund themselves but some will pretend they are not able to (I have had sellers issue refunds). This is because issuing refunds will be a mark against their store. They may already have several marks against their store from selling low quality goods in the past. Sometimes they will give you a sad story about trying to feed their starving family (No joke, it has happened). If they refuse to refund you for a bootleg or defective product you can resort to the dispute system.</div><div><br /></div><div> Take photos of the product, as well as screen shops from the sale page or shipping page, depending on what your dispute is about. Gather all the information required to prove that you have been wronged and deserve a refund. Go to your <b>Shipped</b> page and tap on the item. Or if you already confirmed the item was received, go to the <b>To Be</b> <b>Reviewed</b> page to find the purchased item. Tap on that item and click <b>Open Dispute</b>. There you can make your claim (Clear and concise. No one cares if it was meant to be a gift for your son or you were going to wear it to a party and have to buy something else now. Stick to why this product is not what the sale page presented it to be. How did it not work.

This is a (incomplete) basic translation for the chat logs with each character in the Persona OA app. English speaking users can use it to better understand the conversations in the app and make better choices when the characters ask questions. As there is a lot of dialogue I have separated each character's interactions into a separate post. Also, this does not include post-dungeon interactions in your room where you decide what stat boosting item to use.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b> Please bear in mind, the translations may be off a bit but they should give you an idea of what is being said. I took some creative liberty to make the translations sound more natural rather than making them direct word for word translations.</b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">** (+1) (+2) (+3) Means this is how many music notes this response gives.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b> I have not gone all of the way through the game yet so I don't have every character dialogue unlocked yet. As I unlock more I will update this list.</b><br />

This is a (incomplete) basic translation for the chat logs with each character in the Persona OA app. English speaking users can use it to better understand the conversations in the app and make better choices when the characters ask questions. As there is a lot of dialogue I have separated each character's interactions into a separate post. Also, this does not include post-dungeon interactions in your room where you decide what stat boosting item to use or the intro/tutorial for the game.<br />

Note for Mona Dialogue: Mona often uses the word Wagahai to refer to himself. This is a very arrogant/pretentious way of saying "I". This doesn't really translate to English very well but it is an important part of the character's speech.<br />

<div>
*First of all, I'll explain the most important thing for a Phantom Thief to have! You wouldn't want to start without knowing this one, right?</div>
<div>
*The most important thing for a Phantom Thief is--... [Name], What do you think it is?</div>
<div>
[Options}</div>
<div>
A --A disguise</div>
<div>
B --Gun skills?</div>
<div>
C --Being a thief is bad</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A</div>
<div>
*Yeah, I guess that's important too. You couldn't be a very good thief if people knew your true identity, after all.</div>
<div>
*However, there is more than that to being a Phantom Thief. Which is...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
B (+1)</div>
<div>
*I guess that is pretty important. However, that's not it.</div>
<div>
*Before handing a weapon, there is something much more important you need.</div>
<div>
*And that is...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C</div>
<div>
*It seems you know your stuff. That is very true...</div>
<div>
*Yep, being a thief is definitely a bad idea...!</div>
<div>
*Well, I guess that's all for today. I'll just be on my way now.</div>
<div>
*...What? That's it. I said we're all done here...!</div>
<div>
*Fine, if you're finally ready to take this seriously. The most important thing about being a Phantom Thief is...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*It's having conviction!</div>
<div>
*What we're stealing is a target's distorted heart.</div>
<div>
*By eliminating the distortion, we can force the target to have a change of heart.</div>
<div>
*A person without conviction can never change the hearts of others.</div>
<div>
*So to be a Phantom Thief... Conviction is the most important thing.</div>

*Help the weak and punish those who oppress them (Direct translation: Help the weak, punish the strong)<br />
*Today you'll practice doing this as a Phantom Thief.<br />

C<br />
*Why are you saying that to me? You're way too nervous!<br />
*It's alright. I'm here to back you up in case of an emergency. Come on!<br />
<br />
*You did it, [Name]! It looks like you really helped out that tourist. They seemed pleased!<br />

*First off, to avoid being noticed you need to walk quietly.<br />
*If you can't do that you won't be a very good Phantom Thief.<br />
*Creeping about silently. This is how we successfully steal treasures.<br />
*This is the secret to being a great Phantom Thief! What do you think? Are you impressed?<br />
[Options]<br />
A --Wow!<br />
B --Can you do it, Morgana?<br />
C --Not really<br />
<br />
A(+3)<br />
*Right?<br />
*However, if you can stay calm, you'll be able to do it too.<br />
*You know, it's still possible for you to catch up with the rest of us!<br />
<br />
B<br />
*Wow, that's a pretty stupid question...<br />
*Creeping around is what I've done my whole life, don't you get it?<br />
<br />
C<br />
*Great... you're so dry...<br />
*You'll soon understand our greatness! Get ready, [Name].<br />
<br />
*Let's move on to the next thing!<br />
*The next special skill you'll need is... Being fast!<br />
*I don't just mean walking quickly. It is also important for a Phantom Thief to be able to ambush an enemy which requires speed.<br />
*Ninja stealthiness... Do you know how to train for that?<br />
[Options]<br />
A --Running?<br />
B --Watch ninja films?<br />
C --I don't have a clue!<br />
<br />
A(+1)<br />
*That is the correct answer! But just running normally won't do.<br />
*You have to run without making any noise. Come on, we'll do it together!<br />
<br />
B<br />
*You think you could figure it out just by watching movies?<br />
*Movies may help but today we are going to do special training by actually moving our bodies.<br />
*Is this alright with you? We need to run without making any noise. Come on, we'll do it together!<br />
<br />
C<br />
*You don't have to say it so confidently!<br />
*Is this alright with you? We need to run without making any noise. Come on, we'll do it together!<br />
<br />
*Yeah. You're really getting it now, right?<br />
*Your so lucky! Not everyone is fortunate enough to be taught by a pro like me.<br />
[Options]<br />
A --I learnt a lot! (Direct translation is 'Good Study')<br />
B --Let's run more<br />
C --I'm hungry now<br />
<br />
A(+3)<br />
*Nyafufufu... If you keep that up you're going to embarrass me.<br />
<br />
B(+2)<br />
*Whoa, you're really motivated.<br />
*I think we've done enough running for today. You don't want to push your body too hard, right?<br />
<br />
C<br />
*If you move more, you burn more calories and get hungry... That's just how the body works.<br />
<br />
*Alright, lets go home and rest for the day.<br />
*[Name], keep working hard from now on!<br />

*Let's do our best again today.<br />
*Now that you've mastered being covert you're ready to learn how to search for enemies...!<br />
*Learn enemy positions and situations... This is an important skill for any Phantom Thief to learn.<br />
*We can't always rely on navigation support from Futaba.<br />
*Ok, let's start training.<br />
*I'm going to hide somewhere in this park. You are going to have to find me within the time limit.<br />
[Options]<br />
A --Easy<br />

<br />
C<br />
*Wrong! This is serious Phantom Thief training! Don't let your guard down.<br />
<br />
*We will be alternating between chasing and hiding. Make sure you don't make a sound, ok?<br />
*Well, let's get started!<br />
*Whoa, you found me in no time!<br />
*That makes 5 wins and 5 losses... I guess that makes today's training a draw.<br />

<br />

[Options]<br />
A --Leave it to me<br />
B --Easy as Pie (Direct translation: Asameshimae which literally means Before Breakfast. However this is an idiom and is not to be taken literally)<br />
C --Can we take a taxi home?<br />
<br />
A(+2)<br />
*That's a pretty confident reply... I gotta say, I'm moved...<br />
*I think you'll be a great addition to the Phantom Thieves!<br />
<br />
B(+1)<br />
*That's a pretty confident reply... I gotta say, I'm moved...<br />

<br />
C<br />
*Isn't that super expensive, [Name]? If you're that rich we should get sushi...<br />
*You really shouldn't be wasting money.<br />
*As part of your special training we should walk home. (<span style="color: #990000;"><u>NOTE</u>: This is roughly a 3 hour walk according to Google Maps</span>)<br />
<br />
*By the way, you seem to have the basics down. It may be time to teach you some more challenging skills soon.<br />

<b> If you haven't read my tutorial on how to play Persona OA without knowing Japanese then please check it out <a href="https://applamode.blogspot.com/2019/03/how-to-play-persona-oa.html" target="_blank">here</a> first.</b><br />
<br />
If you are struggling with the dungeons (Palaces, Mementos) then this might help. Have you worked your way through a dungeon several times and can't seem to complete it? When you tap on it in the map does it say Boss, even though you've fought it several times? You may need to read the feedback from your team mate to determine what changes to make to beat that dungeon. Not sure how to?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Let Me Explain!</span></b></div>
<br />
When you exit a dungeon and scroll down through all that amazing loot you picked up during exploration, you may notice you have a little word bubble at the bottom from whatever companion went in with you. If there is anything mentioned in brackets then they are telling you that a change needs to happen for you to defeat the boss or further explore the dungeon. Take note of whatever the kana looks like if you can't read it. It will correlate with either a stat on your player stat list (The star you can access from the map screen in the top right corner) or a stat on your persona.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUmxekmKwLCvxNgrY83va7G0zlKqdt9jwtEq97ApTQmBU4rRYgfhpmUV-9huV-TetlCpJuhOvwzXtL3weeJ2Z0VPqh23MnYkloFbZsRCXSeAVKQU2KITM9qspibPKwwmPW8_joW0qwUEw/s1600/IMG_6017%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUmxekmKwLCvxNgrY83va7G0zlKqdt9jwtEq97ApTQmBU4rRYgfhpmUV-9huV-TetlCpJuhOvwzXtL3weeJ2Z0VPqh23MnYkloFbZsRCXSeAVKQU2KITM9qspibPKwwmPW8_joW0qwUEw/s200/IMG_6017%255B1%255D.JPG" width="150" /></a> If it's a persona stat it can easily be fixed by simply switching to a persona that has a higher level in that particular stat. In the image to the right you can see that Ryuji mentioned we needed greater Strength to progress further. If you look at your Persona stats you can see it is the top stat listed. Just scroll through until you find the one with a high strength stat and choose it for the battle.<br />

This is doubly true if you can't read the dialogue because it means you wont know what books or games or movies or magazines or what not you are reading/watching/playing and thus wont know what stat they are going to increase. Though even if you can read the text sometimes it isn't obvious which stat that is going to improve. In this case you may just want to keep an eye on that stat and play a different dungeon until then.<br />
<br />
You can see an example of what 'm talking about in the graphic to the left. If it's too small to see you can simply tap the image to enlarge it.<br />
<br />
This should help you get a better edge at beating a dungeon. As you play and open more dungeons you will also open up different difficulties for past dungeons. Each dungeon shows you the level you should be to play them so keep that in mind. This isn't just your player level, you should try to keep this in mind with the persona and companion you choose to take with you as well<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifq6B0jMrbM7TFV6L_69nuiaGgwtcxfzhkjr01r-9qvyUSUddMlbDAFxTx3BYJeSlwkxNpRO5Z3weVP34nLlnTuHM0y9Dd4SB49KHXI9dxJ-WBYnhnnmQgE2nIJa7JiogCcHISuWtPKSo/s1600/IMG_5985%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifq6B0jMrbM7TFV6L_69nuiaGgwtcxfzhkjr01r-9qvyUSUddMlbDAFxTx3BYJeSlwkxNpRO5Z3weVP34nLlnTuHM0y9Dd4SB49KHXI9dxJ-WBYnhnnmQgE2nIJa7JiogCcHISuWtPKSo/s400/IMG_5985%255B1%255D.PNG" width="183" /></a> Another issue you mat have is that your companions aren't levelling or that you have stopped getting post dungeon interactions with them. In the companion selection screen where you choose your persona and team mate to explore with, look under your chosen character. If their level bar is locked then you can not level them up until you improve a particular stat.<br />
<br />
On the right you can see what this will look like. Under the bar it will tell you what stat you need to improve to continue levelling this character. Again, you do not need to be able to read this in order to know what it means. You can simply match the stats up to the text. In the image to the left it says I need Knowledge of 4 or more. You can see the number value is 4. Before the number it will list the stat. Simply match that to the player stats star and when that symbol reaches rank 4, you're good to go (Or whatever stat needs to be whatever level for the character you are stuck on). Until your stat is high enough, focus on levelling other characters instead. Just like in the Persona 5 game. If you aren't a high enough rank to hang out with that character there is no point wasting a day hanging out with them.<br />
<br />
For me, Ryuji hit the lock really fast because I explored with him almost exclusively. What can I say, Ryuji is best boy.<br />

This is doubly true for fans of Persona 5. Persona O.A, is a Persona 5 game in the form of an app. You play as yourself, but you wield multiple Persona and meet up with the members of the Phantom Thieves, travelling through Mementos and special event Palaces to steal hearts and gain levels.<br />
<br />
A lot of people complain because the application is Japanese only. Though knowing Japanese certainly makes the game play easier and more enjoyable, English speaking users can still play the app so long as they know what to do. I've decided to make a tutorial on how to play this app for those who can't read Japanese. This will cover the basic functions of the app. There is a great deal of dialogue in the story cut scenes that will not be covered here. To view translations for those go <a href="https://applamode.blogspot.com/2019/04/persona-oa-chat-log-translations-morgana.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Upon loading the app for the first time you'll be guided through the game elements and account set up by Sae Niijima. I have created some graphics to take you through the account setup. Click them to expand the images to a larger size if you find them difficult to read.<br />

Once you are able to start playing you will always start the app on the main home screen. The home screen character and background changes every time you reload it. It pulls from various characters in Persona 5 like the main characters and confidants. They will have a quote under them as well but this isn't really important. It is just a fun element of the game, so don't worry about not being able to read it. The things you need to know on this page can be seen in the graphic below.<br />
<br />

I wouldn't worry too much about the <b>Calendar</b>, <b>Twitter</b> or <b>P5A</b> buttons. If you want to watch the P5A with subtitles you can do so at <a href="https://www.crunchyroll.com/persona5-the-animation" target="_blank">Crunchy Roll</a>. The calendar will talk about upcoming events but it is all in Japanese, so unless you want to translate it don't worry about it. The events will notify you when you start the app up if they are happening anyway. The calendar is just to set up notifications for future events.<br />
<br />
The news also covers the more recent events, just like the calendar but again, it's in Japanese. Just keep an eye on the dates so you know when something new is happening.<br />
<br />
The <b>Event</b> button shows you all the events (dialogues) in the game with the various characters. You can see which you are missing and replay the ones you have already unlocked.<br />
<br />
You will start with some free <b>PP (Persona Points)</b>. You can spend these on the <b>Persona Gacha</b> which gives you a random Persona or skill card. You can also spend your points on Persona wallpapers for your phone. To use the Gacha, visit the <b>Velvet Room</b> at the bottom left. To buy wallpapers, tap the <b>More Options</b> button on the top left. You can see this screen below.<br />
<br />

<br />
The above graphic gives you a basic run down of the options here. The only important ones are the <b>Take The Day</b> (I may have mistranslated this) option which gives you your data transfer code, and the <b>Persona Point</b> option.<br />
<br />

At the top left you have the <b>Back</b> button, the top right is your total <b>PP</b>. You can scan QR codes with the top option or use the second option to type in codes. The codes are obtained by purchasing official Persona products or from various magazines which release new codes every issue. These magazines include PASH, Anime Japan, and several others. A full list can be found on the <a href="https://p5a.jp/app/" target="_blank">official site</a>. If anyone gets access to the codes in these magazines and would like to share them, please leave a comment on this post.<br />
<br />
The bottom option is where you can spend your existing PP on special wallpapers. The wallpapers cost quite a bit but when you purchase one you have options on what dimensions you would like to save the file as. You will also unlock more wallpapers as you progress through the various dungeons. Special seasonal events will allow you to unlock event exclusive wallpapers as well. To be honest you can probably find any of these wallpapers online for free though. Don't be like me and waste your PP on the wallpapers.<br />
<br />
If you access the Velvet Room through the home screen you will need to know what the various options given there are. You can see the translations on the graphic below.<br />

<br />
You get your personas by playing the gacha. There are more than one available usually. Different gachas cost different amounts and give you access to different levels of persona. There are also special event gachas that appear sometimes.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt_YwDHGc8kyY7cFfzU4EdDQglZmcqmJyHlHNQxat_BSRQUHngufCtxyiIzph82ikJMmGdnECNlEOwrLvjUHxXZGovWwCATU-pqMq_w51PYaalWPOrXiDdgpAYhm2RwIkbFGaQVOnY4PU/s1600/IMG_5201%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt_YwDHGc8kyY7cFfzU4EdDQglZmcqmJyHlHNQxat_BSRQUHngufCtxyiIzph82ikJMmGdnECNlEOwrLvjUHxXZGovWwCATU-pqMq_w51PYaalWPOrXiDdgpAYhm2RwIkbFGaQVOnY4PU/s320/IMG_5201%255B1%255D.PNG" width="145" /></a> The top gacha on the screen to the left is a special gacha. It costs more (300PP for one draw) but you can get really amazing persona from it. I got Futaba's persona on my first play. However, all of the gacha only give you a chance at a persona. You can alternatively get a skill card instead. It's random so you never know if you'll get something good or not.<br />
<br />
If you do get a skill card you can use it on a persona by clicking the <b>Skill Mastery</b> button. Skill cards have the skill type printed on as an image. You can only use certain skill types on certain persona. This is easy enough to figure out though. If you look at your persona in Skill Mastery mode, at the bottom it shows what types of skills they can learn (And which they already have). Below you can see the bottom skill area of a persona. Below that is what a skill card option looks like in the skill select screen. Clicking the cards image on the right of the skills will take you to your available skill cards so you can select one. Once a card is used, it disappears. Choose wisely.<br />

The compendiums are a way to see what personas and items you have gathered. Looking at a <b>Persona Compendium</b> is a good way to see how strong it is. You can also view the level that the personas you have are and how rare they are (More stars mean rarer persona). I will show you what the stat translations are below.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Agility:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Luck:</span><br />
<br />
Those are what the stat options on the bottom left side say, in that order. As you can see this persona has a lot of <b>Luck</b> but very little <b>Strength</b>. Different dungeons are easier with different types of persona. So it is good to collect a good range of persona with various stats and abilities.<br />
<br />
In order to level up your persona you;ll have to explore the dungeon areas such as <b>Mementos</b> and the special event <b>Palaces</b>.<span style="color: red;"> Also please forgive the fact that I wrote Momentos instead of Mementos in all of my graphics.</span><br />
<br />

More will unlock as you progress through the game and special <b>Event Palaces</b> will appear near the top of the list. Each dungeon has a different difficulty level and recommended level written on it. So choose the ones that will work best for you at the level that you are. If you are unsure about what level you currently are, or what your personal stats are you can tap the button in the top right corner during dungeon selection. It will take you to the screen to the left (You can change your name here if you want as well).<br />
<br />
From the top, clockwise: <b>Knowledge, Courage, Dexterity, Kindness, Charm</b><br />
<br />
After selecting a dungeon you get to choose one persona to take with you and one companion. You can only choose from the characters you have met thus far. You start with Morgana, then you meet Ann, then Ryuji, and so on. The more dungeons you explore, the more characters you'll meet.<br />
<br />
Your persona, companion and yourself each will gain experience and levels when you are exploring a dungeon. Below you can see what it looks like while you are exploring.<br />

<br />
This part of the game just requires you to wait. You can exit the dungeon at any time by clicking the <b>Finish Exploration</b> button in the bottom left. However, it is best to wait for the <b>Investigation</b> bar to fill up or the <b>Security</b> to be at 100 percent. Because when either of these gauges fill, you will no longer be gaining items or experience. (<b><span style="color: #990000;">UPDATE: Check out how to beat dungeons you get stuck on <a href="https://applamode.blogspot.com/2019/04/persona-oa-battle-tips.html" target="_blank">here</a></span></b>)<br />
<br />

If you want to play other parts of the app just click the Back button from this screen. If you want to close the app, you can do that as well. The exploration will continue until either security or investigation maxes. Then you'll have to come back and tell it to finish so you can go to another dungeon. If your security bar maxes before exploration does, don't worry. You can always come back and continue to explore later.<br />
<br />
To the right you can see what it looks like when you complete an exploration. You, your persona, and your companion rank ups are displayed as well as how close they are to get another level. Scrolling down shows what items you found and how much PP you earned.<br />
<br />
After exploration you may trigger some dialogue with whatever companion you took with you into the dungeon. If you can't read the dialogue you have two options. Either you can click through it and guess at any dialogue options it gives you to choose, or you can use a translation app to help you translate the text. Though these applications aren't always accurate. You can see what I mean below.<br />

<br />
Like in the Persona 5 game, different options will have an effect on the affection of the character. You'll get little music note animations if you choose the option that makes the character happy. You will also be able to use items you found on your exploration, such as books, magazines, DVDs, etc. An option to watch/read them will appear when you get home after your time spent with your chosen companion. Depending on what you read or watch, you can boost different stats. Boosted stats will help level companions as well as help you defeat certain dungeon bosses.<br />
<br />
After this you can go explore another (or the same) area. This is pretty much the whole game. If there is anything I missed that you want explained or elaborated on, just let me know. I hope you enjoy playing this really cute Persona app game!<br />

This is not a game about a popular former female music group. I realise the name is a bit confusing... This is basically a CCG with a plot/story line, <b>full audio dialogue</b> and tons of extra optional playable content. The graphics are great (Though I could do with less breast bouncing), the game play is simple but fun and the characters fun to watch as they progress through the story (I recommend clicking some of these thumbnails to view the larger image so you can read the dialogue).<br />
<br />
This app has a lot of optional content and constantly has new events spawning up so I'm not going to dive too deep into the content of the app. I don't want this to be a novel.<br />

You play as a demon who has accidentally signed himself up for a competition (The Archfiend Contest) where he must gather an army of childs (soul fragments taken from humans) to battle other demons for the throne of hell. Your day job? You work as a cashier at a convenient store... and you were only trying to pay your rent on your phone when you accidentally signed up. This whole thing is really more of a hassle than anything else to your character but you have some pesky succubus guiding you through the process and forcing you to continue with the contest. So onward to collect your army of childs...<br />

The voice overs would be more amazing if they came in multiple languages but I suppose we'll make due with Japanese only.<br />
<br />
The game even has a fully animated anime intro you get to see when you start the game for the first time.<br />
<br />
There are several parts of the game to play but the main areas to keep up with are as follows.<br />
<br />
<b>Story</b>: This continues forward with the plot. You go through story line and battle story based NPC groups of childs. Users collect new childs after winning boss battles and collect items and gold among other useful loot and experience. Don't forget to collect completion rewards at the bottom of each story segment (3 per segment).<br />

<b>Night World</b>: This is where you complete your daily quests. Not all of them need to be done. Really none of them are necessary but they can be very useful for levelling, evolving, and acquiring certain items. At very least I recommend always doing the <b>Exploration</b>, which allows you to send childs on adventures for hours and come back with gained experience. These childs can still be used freely even when they are sent off on exploration. <b>Event Dungeon</b> is also very useful. The contents change daily so check back every day and collect rewards you need specifically such as gold, evolution items for specific types of childs or level up material. <b>Devil Rumble</b> and <b>Underground</b> are optional really. Devil Rumble gives you 5 plays a day and resets after a week. Underground is a great way to get experience and items by using all of your childs. Don't try it until you have a lotat your disposal though. <b>Scenarios</b> can be found here as well and is a way to watch any plot you've already gone through. <b>Rebirth Labyrinth </b>is a recent addition but I'm not sure if it will be permanent. it's a good way to win costumes for you childs.<br />

It is essentially a gacha style system. You can get childs, equipment and more from here. A fun feature when getting child drops is if you draw a 5 star child you get a cute little animated sequence. You can choose to spend money on in game currency for this but I've been playing this since just after its global launch (Global launch was December 2018). If you play casually you still earn enough for at least one gold draw 10 a day, one crystal draw 10 a day and your free draw one that resets every day. That's at least 21 every day, easily. But be careful, users have a limited amount of slots available so you'll have to pick and choose who to keep.<br />
<br />
<b>Mailbox</b>: Always check this daily to collect everything you earn from logging in. You also get friendship coins from your mailbox if you have added friends.<br />

<br />
<b>Child</b>: This is where you can see every child you have. You can sort them for easier browsing, evolve them, combine them, upgrade their skills, create teams and more. i find myself spending a lot of time here just to make sure my childs are as upgraded as they can be and getting rid of ones I don't need who take up space.<br />

<b>Friend</b>: This is where you can give friendship coins to your friends, add friends, delete them, accept friend invites, etc. Friends in this game are useful because depending on the user's main avatar, you can use them to give your team special buffs when you fight. It is important to choose a useful child for your avatar for this reason as well. This will help you to be more useful to your friends. I find the most useful ones are childs that give a buff to all other childs, not just type specific ones.<br />
<br />

In order to battle against other players such as the Devil Rumble PVP or battling NPCs such as in Story Mode, you'll need to know how to put a team together, how to use abilities and how to upgrade your child.<br />
<br />
The childs come in categories, both battle type and elemental type. Water, Wood, Fire, Light and Dark are the elements and Debuffer, Attacker, Healer, Defender, Support, Combine are the attack types.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Water</span> > <span style="color: red;">Fire </span>> <span style="color: #38761d;">Wood</span> - <span style="color: #bf9000;">Light</span> >< <span style="color: #741b47;">Dark</span></b> (These two are weak and strong against one another)<br />
<br />
If you are going up against a team with a lot of fire, you may choose to switch to a heavy water based team for example. Though most groups will be mixed and you will need to use your own strategy to effectively power through.<br />
<br />
The attack types should be pretty clear. Defenders are your tanks, they have heavy defense and absorb a lot of damage while being slower at attacking. Debuffers remove buffs from the opponents, while supporters will buff your team. The only odd ones are the combine types which serve as sacrifices for your group. If used correctly, they can be very useful. It is best to have a mixed group but it is good to choose the combination that works best for you. My main group has a healer, two defenders, one support and an attacker. Sometimes I switch out a defender for a second healer if I need to.<br />

<br />
In a battle there are three ways to attack (Though you'll likely turn on auto attack so you'll only manually need to know the last way). A tap attack which, a slide attack or your big attack which is your drive skill. Each of your 5 battle childs have circle portraits at the bottom of the battle screen, your enemy above. When a child's portrait is surrounded by the colour strip you can tap it or slide it. Sliding it will begin to fill your drive gauge which can be seen running along the side of your health bar at the bottom under the portraits. When the gauge is full a little skill bubble pops up under your childs. this is when you can use a drive skill which does heavy damage. But you need to time it right for the best effect. A bar will fill up quickly and you need to tape it when it's in the centre of the charged part of the line. The centre will give you a Perfect, near it is a Great, a bit farther off is Good, and too far off is Bad. Depending on your score you'll fill the fever gauge (Yes another gauge). If you're good it will take 3 drive skill attacks to fill your gauge as a perfect gives you 40 percent. a great gives you 30, a good 20~ (This one depends). Fever time is when you jut place your finger on a child consistently and leave it there until fever runs out. That child will continually attack the enemy and do tons of damage quickly. In stages with 3 levels I try to do one drive skill per level so I can do the fever on the last (and hardest) level.<br />

The tap, slide and drive skills can be levelled up (to 10 per rank). If you use a child often, level it's skills up fully as soon as possible. It will cost you onyx (Which is also used for awakening) but this is pretty easy to come by.<br />
<br />
Your child will level up as you use them but you can also use the Combine button in their profile to level them up further (Up to their max level). When you combine, you will use <b>Level-Up Material</b> childs which look like little slime blobs. Using ones of the correct elemental type will give you the best results but you can technically use any elemental material to level up your childs. A child will only level so far before it needs to be evolved. Evolving a child will reset it to level one but it will be a higher star count.<br />
<br />
2 Star Child - Max LVL 20<br />
3 Star Child - Max LVL 30<br />
4 Star Child - Max LVL 40<br />
5 Star Child - Max LVL 50<br />
6 Star Child - Max LVL 60<br />
<br />
You can only get a 6 star child by evolving a 5 star child. Evolution can only happen when your child is at it's max level and you have enough evolution material. You will also need to sacrifice other childs of the same star level to evolve one. For example if I have a level 40 four star child and all the material I need to also sacrifice 4 other 4 star childs to evolve this one. I will lose the four sacrifices but my evolved child will become a 5 star lvl 1 child.<br />

You are also going to want to awaken your childs. This can be done by spending onyx and continuing to level them through use (Or exploration or combining). When you finish awakening a child it will get a new costume. You will also be able to equip an accessory along with the weapon and armour.<br />
<br />
Also... equip weapons and armour to childs you use... But remember to remove them if you decide to get rid of that child.<br />

So I will leave you with this... This is a fun game that you can spend a lot of time on so be careful not to get addicted. The story is fun and I recommend paying attention instead of skipping through it. The graphics are so detailed and amazing, plus you can change the home page background and child to customise it to your liking which is amazing. The fact that all the dialogue is spoken word is brilliant but it does make the file size for this app pretty big so users might want to be sure they have the room to download this before starting the download (You'll need to download a packet when the app starts for the first time which is far bigger than the app file size). Also, I do not recommend this for children... this is a teens and up app. The fact that there are bouncy breasts and succubi mentioned in this review should be pretty clear signs of that. Only real complaint is that it can take a bit to get used to all the elements of the app... it can be pretty overwhelming at first.<br />

Having trouble jump starting your brain in the morning? Do you have a tendency of just slapping the snooze button and ignoring the alarm all together? This alarm application finds a way to deal with that issue.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKX5FJo7YkPPhV9Qdd89_S2eblSOipeauv99NkVz2p72asQ0AwpYFw5s7PLzG1k_5SQ9qvnUXa1zu5uTlMzK7JeKgSAE-n_Hqi6hwOkXTAfGBiaUslrZcGTVSd-SbNkAHVn3CvYpq0cVo/s1600/IMG_4749.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKX5FJo7YkPPhV9Qdd89_S2eblSOipeauv99NkVz2p72asQ0AwpYFw5s7PLzG1k_5SQ9qvnUXa1zu5uTlMzK7JeKgSAE-n_Hqi6hwOkXTAfGBiaUslrZcGTVSd-SbNkAHVn3CvYpq0cVo/s320/IMG_4749.PNG" width="147" /></a> I really like the concept behind the application which is an alarm that requires you to complete a mini game in order to shut it off. In doing this you prove that you are at least awake enough to perform a simple task. By getting your conscious mind working a bit, it makes it easier for you to wake up. The app has potential, but only if you use it correctly.<br />
<br />
The app allows you to create multiple alarms for multiple times of the day or days of the week. In creating a new alarm you can choose the mini game, the time of day, the day or days of the week it goes off (For reoccurring alarms), whether you want sound or vibration (or both), assign an MP3, choose whether to allow <b>Snooze</b> or not, choose a colour and add a memo.<br />
<br />
The app has tons of mini games to choose from and you can try them out before assigning them to an alarm. You will need to download the mini games as there are only 2 installed with the basic app. However, many of the mini games are free. The ones that cost money are mostly the ones for pop music groups/celebrities. These special celebrity mini games can be obtained either through in app purchase or saving up your points. Users get points for every time they complete a mini game after an alarm goes off. However, there is of course a daily limit for this (I believe it is 6 points a day). Visiting the <b>Shop</b> allows you to see the mini games that cost points or money. It also has a charging button to get free points (Though I found this does not work. I followed the steps but no points were given).<br />

Different mini games may offer different sounds for the alarm. Of course users can also assign their own MP3 sounds. I found the sound without MP3 is just the same sound one might hear when they get a message on their phone. it repeats over and over every few seconds, but it may be pretty easy to miss. One MP3 I noticed was quite noisy and I feared using this might startle someone awake which isn't really good for your heart. However, for those who sleep through alarms easily, this might be more practical. For light sleepers like myself, it may just induce a heart attack.

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once you unlock your phone (If it is locked) after the alarm goes off, the mini game begins. The games are quite cute and simple and could easily be used for children or adults. They feature simple tasks such as kissing someone until it wakes them up, dodging punches and punching back (Boxing style, not a street brawl), finding characters hidden in an area, repeating a pattern, etc.</div>

I had it turned on in the settings and gave it access in my phone settings. I troubleshot this a lot turning settings on and off, looking up information, closing, opening the app, uninstalling, reinstalling... It just would not work. This is disappointing to me and certainly affects the point value I give to this application as far as rating it goes.<br />
<br />
The app also has a <b>Quick Alarm</b> function that will choose a random mini game for you. it is a great way to set up an alarm for a short nap (Say an hour).</div>

There are other options the application gives you for further customisation as well. The last icon tab on the bottom of the app (Circle with 3 dots) will take you to a place to customise your profile, check your point history, read the FAQ, check to see if you have coupons and most importantly, it gives you access to <b>Alarm Functions</b>.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKYhBY6PrCYteItb41Ycz3Eyuu8M23Ll-Cf_jA7UASB90y1GTXBfL7_33YCM2dTIffDrVttPI6slVeYoygiDes15GFc4u2npM-zk9id42LgRRMoM3PO67ElprRFYaV8J6yNLoqqAoVxxc/s1600/IMG_4763.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKYhBY6PrCYteItb41Ycz3Eyuu8M23Ll-Cf_jA7UASB90y1GTXBfL7_33YCM2dTIffDrVttPI6slVeYoygiDes15GFc4u2npM-zk9id42LgRRMoM3PO67ElprRFYaV8J6yNLoqqAoVxxc/s200/IMG_4763.PNG" width="91" /></a> In the alarm functions are users can toggle notifications, delete alarms and alarm history, sync alarms, choose whether or not to display the weather in Fahrenheit, display time in 24 or 12 hours, manually set time, gradually increase sound (Dangerous, it gets loud very quickly), turn off alarms without playing mini games (Thus making the entire purpose of the application pointless), turn on <b>Low Power Mode</b> (uses device settings for sound volume, vibrate, etc), toggle the <b>Snore Checker</b> (uses your microphone to see if you snore... eats up battery) redownload previous purchases (Associated with your account) or turn on sleep inducing music to help you sleep.<br />
<br />

It tells them how long it took them to complete as well as when it went off and what game they chose.<br />
<br />
<br />
The app does have ads but users can choose to pay to turn them off. The annoying part about this is that the ad removal is temporary, even though you pay for it. You can pay to remove ads for 30 days (0.99USD) or one year (8.99USD). The ads are a banner toward the bottom of the app that is always there, a large square ad on the weather/news screen after an alarm, and an occasional pop up ad after an alarm is completed. It honestly seems like a lot of ads for an alarm app. I also feel that a one time ad removal payment would be a better option.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBT_bp9ZFxVdIMMYz2_SSgYmAXa-Db9fqxOgiWNmaHsBKLMsmTvQxwVZNjRypWw_-ZOk3RsJsw8aGIZQ6vWHJRRWZSgF4HGbaFvPDN8n5HWVNeVCoa-IuDDxbUNLvVKjXf7qWmcqTAfo/s1600/IMG_4760.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBT_bp9ZFxVdIMMYz2_SSgYmAXa-Db9fqxOgiWNmaHsBKLMsmTvQxwVZNjRypWw_-ZOk3RsJsw8aGIZQ6vWHJRRWZSgF4HGbaFvPDN8n5HWVNeVCoa-IuDDxbUNLvVKjXf7qWmcqTAfo/s320/IMG_4760.PNG" width="147" /></a> One more issue is that if anything interferes with the alarm, it will not go off. This means if a phone call, message, notification, etc happens at exactly when the alarm is meant to go off, the alarm does not go off. Also opening the app at precisely the time the alarm is meant to go off can override the alarm.<br />
<br />
Due to the ads and lack of some functionality the app is supposed to have that simply does not work, I can't give this full marks. It is a cute application though. If users make sure to use the sound (not just vibrate), remove the snooze option and choose to sit up to play the mini game (This makes it easier to wake up. Playing while continuing to lay comfortably can make you simply fall back asleep), I believe this app could be a very helpful tool for waking up in the morning.<br />

Ever wanted to play SIMS but without all the graphics? Ever miss the days of text based games like <a href="http://lord.lordlegacy.com/main.php" target="_blank">Legend of the Red Dragon</a>? This incredibly fun and addictive game allows you to take control of lives immediately after birth and make all of their important life decisions leading up to their inevitable death. Rinse and repeat...<br />
<br />
I'm not entirely sure why I downloaded this initially. I'd never heard anything about it but when I saw it in the app store the idea of a text based game intrigued me. I used to love text based games back in the 1990s. I certainly was not let down with this one.<br />
<br />
The app has actually been updated a couple times since about a month ago when I first downloaded it, so a few of these screen shots are already out of date! the app developers are sure on top of their game. I really enjoy loading it up and seeing what new options they've added in.<br />

The app is really simple. Users press the <b>New Life</b> button to begin a new journey and boom! Instant origin story. The app gives you a random set of parents (Or sometimes a single parent), a place of birth, a gender, siblings (Or sometimes no siblings) etc. Your parents and siblings have their own characteristics such as how religious or generous they are, how much money they earn, their occupation, etc. The app even tells you exactly how you were conceived which can often be quite funny.<br />
<br />
Every year you can make several choices and interact with your family (And later with people you enter a relationship with), but the first few years have very limited choice making as you are still a baby. I would very much encourage you to avoid fighting anyone before age 10 if possible. The amount of times I have died in my youth by engaging in simple squabbling with my siblings, I can not even tell you. I even got murdered at age 7 by my two year old brother... Murdered by a two year old! this game really throws some curve balls...<br />

Your character can get sick from time to time which means you should take them to the doctor. this is free until you are no longer under the care of your parents (IE graduate). After this point you have to foot the bill so you might want to try saving up for emergencies.<br />
<br />

Sometimes this means not being able to buy a car or drive until later years or not being allowed to date people of the same sex. One character I decided to make a homosexual woman but I was born into a country where I could not marry the same gender so I and my girlfriend emigrated to France so we could get married. In another life I was a gay man and I kept being arrested and put in jail for dating other men, even years after we had broken up. I was in and out of jail a lot in that life.<br />
<br />
Speaking of jail... avoid it if you intend to try earning a lot of money. Once you go to jail, for any reason or no matter how short the sentence, you will automatically not be allowed to get hired for a ton of different occupations. You'll either have to do really low wage jobs that aren't really interesting or you'll have to lead a life of crime... I generally turn to the life of crime. It's just more fun.<br />

Stealing cars, pick pocketing and even murder are on the table. Recently they added burglarising a house to the options. This one requires you to play a short mini game to determine what you steal and whether or not you get caught. As for the others, it's random but i find the more you do crime the less a chance you run of getting caught. this could just have been my luck though.<br />
<br />
Stealing cars can save money and you can always sell them on the black market to earn money. Just remember any crime you commit runs the chance of you going to jail.<br />

However, as I got closer to age 100 years I decided that for my 100th Birthday I would celebrate by committing murder. Age 100 came and I went out to murder a random rabbi. I tried pushing him down the stairs but he didn't die and called the police. I bought the best lawyers and was found not guilty... No jail for me. But I did say i would celebrate my 100th Birthday by committing murder... so I went out again and tried to murder my ex. He fought back and beat me up pretty bad... He escaped. Third time's the charm! I tried to kill another ex of mine and I succeeded! Finally finishing celebrating my murderous Birthday I went to jail. I got an 80 year sentence. I didn't feel like trying to escape (Which you can do when you go to jail), so I just aged up. Year 101 of my life I died peacefully in my sleep. Life well lived.<br />

Users can purchase houses and cars, go on holidays to other countries or on cruises. There are tons of occupations to choose from as well. You can emigrate, get plastic surgery (Even a sex change), go to the spa, sign up for a dating app, go to the gym, donate sperm, go to the club, gamble at casinos and horse tracks, play the lottery, etc. there are so many options available you just have to keep playing to see how many combinations you can get.<br />

Find your real life boring? This application allows you to live hundreds of more interesting lives. I find myself really enjoying this and laughing at some of the silly things that end up happening. I love sharing my stories with other people who play the app. and comparing my lives to theirs. I highly recommend this app. I even paid to remove the ads. The ads are a minor inconvenience and don't hinder the play at all. They aren't excessive like some apps. I paid to remove them purely because I enjoyed the app and wanted to support the creators.<br />

A young woman falls in love with a grim reaper. Cute graphics, a story translated from Japanese (Not very well) and a whole lot of pop up ads.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwINZXC-hTGxW4jBqorPSOSOVub9FOY6myNMJfcTgBOYyzB4upcLbWAoNUClxGWFDKEGUkp_DxR4U7wRwr6xFAQrhnAPnYDr5hNemhcc2i-wqkgvop82vPTbZmJKozKjYNV-6M4pjmRnQ/s1600/IMG_3290.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwINZXC-hTGxW4jBqorPSOSOVub9FOY6myNMJfcTgBOYyzB4upcLbWAoNUClxGWFDKEGUkp_DxR4U7wRwr6xFAQrhnAPnYDr5hNemhcc2i-wqkgvop82vPTbZmJKozKjYNV-6M4pjmRnQ/s400/IMG_3290.PNG" width="183" /></a> This is one of those application games that has very little actual game play involved. It is very similar to an app I reviewed a while back called <a href="https://applamode.blogspot.com/2018/12/zombie-boy.html" target="_blank">Zombie Boy</a>. This one is a lot shorter, with fewer options and story, however.<br />
<br />
The little reaper wanders around your bedroom. You can tap him to hear little conversation snippets. Now and then a cat will wander across the screen giving you an option to watch a 30 second ad video to get a free item. You can choose to ignore it but I suggest watching the video. This is because using the <b>Move</b> feature will earn you 20 souls at a time. Then you have to wait for it to reset to get more. Using the <b>Bonus Stage</b> item you get from the cat can earn you between 100-150 (On average) souls at a time, depending on how fast you are.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY66HSr3HF5UkhUIffaNrfhEj2p2x0-DX7sRN8Kij_TbrRzjtoax1s083Gp8ppFQGdM-rXE1lXu_9mx1vPVWI1abyh4arArOQlzSbKO0P-ce4hRKCoFjAmygzlpb_TGkb0oKiR7lFnMmI/s1600/IMG_3897.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY66HSr3HF5UkhUIffaNrfhEj2p2x0-DX7sRN8Kij_TbrRzjtoax1s083Gp8ppFQGdM-rXE1lXu_9mx1vPVWI1abyh4arArOQlzSbKO0P-ce4hRKCoFjAmygzlpb_TGkb0oKiR7lFnMmI/s200/IMG_3897.PNG" width="91" /></a> The Move and Bonus Stage is how you gather souls to feed your reaper. Don't waste time tapping them one at a time, use your finger to quickly swipe across them on the screen. This will especially come in handy on the Bonus Stage when you are timed to gather as many as you can.<br />
<br />
Feeding souls to the reaper will level him up. He will go through different forms as you feed him more and more souls. Each new form comes with a new story piece and a change in the look of the reaper. You don't get a CG image until the end of a story play through. There are <b>5 CGs</b> total. One for the intro, one for each of the three possible endings and one for the <b>true ending</b> which you earn after you get every other end.<br />

<br />
The story pieces are somewhat interesting but the English is pretty rough and broken.<br />
<br />

There are a lot of stories that suggest grim reapers and demons like cats. I support this lore. The cat petting button in the top right has 3 charges, then it needs to replenish over time. You can always watch the reaper pet the cat in the <b>Death's Diary</b> page. This area allows you to see the reaper forms you have unlocked and read the story so far.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisqm32SXC1sgct5TH3nsOZf_m02nXZ59MHJFdV51FlH2LLpMT_bPFL3QFzlCdPmyWpXm-j4C7VXMBX06VqZoz5P5iczQeL97d4mlMnPAyzsTvgTQScsR0Fw0bHjs5nYyP9ZE8f_akqHoU/s1600/IMG_3889.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisqm32SXC1sgct5TH3nsOZf_m02nXZ59MHJFdV51FlH2LLpMT_bPFL3QFzlCdPmyWpXm-j4C7VXMBX06VqZoz5P5iczQeL97d4mlMnPAyzsTvgTQScsR0Fw0bHjs5nYyP9ZE8f_akqHoU/s200/IMG_3889.PNG" width="91" /></a> The reapers you get through out the game are as follows: Baby Reaper, Newbie Reaper, Soul Reaper, Sickle Reaper, Growing Up Reaper, Promoted Reaper, Mask Reaper *Which is the one on the icon), Reaper-Looking, Almost Reaper, The Reaper, Minister, A Human Child.<br />
<br />
Some of the different forms depend on the choice you make when you are given your 'wish'. Wishing to stay with the reaper will grant you the <b>Human Child</b> ending. Wishing for world piece grants the <b>Minister</b> ending and the billionaire one provides <b>The Reaper</b> ending. Once you finish an ending it resets to the beginning and you can play through for another ending.<br />
<br />
The billionaire choice will change the souls into stacks of money.<br />
<br />

There is the cat that allows you to watch an ad for an item, and I am not opposed to this. However, I have played the app for less than a 3 minute segment and gotten more than 5 popup ads in that time. Here are some of the things that can prompt a popup ad in this app. Using the last cat petting charge, feeding your reaper the last of your souls you collected, clicking Move, using an item, closing the Death Diary or Memiors, closing basically any window within the app. There is also an ad banner at the bottom of the app. This just feels like way too many ads for a game that isn't even that impressive and doesn't have a great deal of content.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRp-6S2xSWOu_W5g7qbNm3-vewBVlOsX6V2o5dNaSfPPzMNPkU-lJqUmdo3N62hIB6vYSdQl5mc8cpQogUiE2LPTGS225MZpI1pJJ7OenhLAUj5Di1p858ydajYti6KPuYglGM8a4S-tU/s1600/IMG_3293.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRp-6S2xSWOu_W5g7qbNm3-vewBVlOsX6V2o5dNaSfPPzMNPkU-lJqUmdo3N62hIB6vYSdQl5mc8cpQogUiE2LPTGS225MZpI1pJJ7OenhLAUj5Di1p858ydajYti6KPuYglGM8a4S-tU/s200/IMG_3293.PNG" width="91" /></a> Users can choose to pay for items in the app to gain more souls, but considering how easy and fast this app is to complete for free, there isn't really a point. A better paid feature would be to remove the ads, but there is no such feature, sadly. The items are the same ones you get for watching the cat's ad. they cost 0.99USD, 3.99USD or 19.99USD. I feel bad for anyone who pays 20 USD on this app... honestly. Please don't do that.<br />
<br />
The app is cute, the story is ok (Would be better with decent translations), the ads are obnoxious but it is an ok app overall. I would give this a slightly higher rating if not for the ads but... I found them to be incredibly frustrating.<br />

Want to play a single player card game fighting application that forces you to spend more time watching ads than making in game choices? Then this is the app for you.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEBas86RbE9NQBxuTS0QswI2X-cl6M_v1sC3eU_6gbwCTFto2ctfPMNZFDZaKXk5_sidlmRAwv-m8x66-GXRFVS-H1fbTTEK-PGAVRNuEwXqMXrWYC6deiY-NjrmV5-55YLqgtR_BGXLw/s1600/IMG_3012.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEBas86RbE9NQBxuTS0QswI2X-cl6M_v1sC3eU_6gbwCTFto2ctfPMNZFDZaKXk5_sidlmRAwv-m8x66-GXRFVS-H1fbTTEK-PGAVRNuEwXqMXrWYC6deiY-NjrmV5-55YLqgtR_BGXLw/s400/IMG_3012.PNG" width="183" /></a> That introduction may seem a bit negative but it is absolutely accurate. The artwork is good, the maps are a fun and slightly educational element. The story plot is... a bit weak and confusing but the one true takeaway from playing this app for me was the outrageous amounts of ads you need to watch to do... well... most anything.<br />
<br />
You may think that paying a fee to remove ads would improve the situation, and to a degree it would. But paying to remove the ads only removes the ads that appear immediately after a defeat (AKA Kaizin Death). There is no way to get rid of the ads required to be watched in order to perform most actions. But let us forget the ad problem briefly and focus on the rest of the app.<br />
<br />
You control <b>Kaizins</b>, these are cards who work together to defeat enemies in the parts of the world that particular Kaizin is assigned to. Kaizins can not be changed as far as location goes, and collecting them is purely luck based through a sort of Gacha style system.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMLi0YUP_zfZAVWdF_G4y-tDz9c80Oy4iC5WixSh8JFTE7xwltFuSMZUMV_fykBf22lCxqVzRP0OMbBzd-bq8Po7zaBF6Gq0AiLaiYVEPGsDF7cT3osyatRN8flL_l_xgN4jX8IratWIU/s1600/IMG_3869.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMLi0YUP_zfZAVWdF_G4y-tDz9c80Oy4iC5WixSh8JFTE7xwltFuSMZUMV_fykBf22lCxqVzRP0OMbBzd-bq8Po7zaBF6Gq0AiLaiYVEPGsDF7cT3osyatRN8flL_l_xgN4jX8IratWIU/s200/IMG_3869.PNG" width="91" /></a> The unlocked Kaizins can be viewed from the Lair part of the app. Users can view where each kaizin is assigned, their rarity and the full card art. Kaizins can be upgraded (The upgrades are so minor it seems a waste to even spend stones on them) and evolved but this takes a great deal of Kaizin Stones and these stones are rare drops. The easiest way to obtain them is to <b>Rebirth</b>, which resets everything causing you to start all over with some rollover boosts.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi47FH4G8dTz1ztiI6ICFV8sFhzFSff5x0kVZhlAeMZIMXmuqKGNONXqeRNDeIh5jtQh9e3ZgmzZnbGh5P_XsTp2UJae42tt3U4RgiHV6nE9ETnO-TQ9SMWCeMNPy_Tkf5JnhRNW-wbzIg/s1600/IMG_3872.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi47FH4G8dTz1ztiI6ICFV8sFhzFSff5x0kVZhlAeMZIMXmuqKGNONXqeRNDeIh5jtQh9e3ZgmzZnbGh5P_XsTp2UJae42tt3U4RgiHV6nE9ETnO-TQ9SMWCeMNPy_Tkf5JnhRNW-wbzIg/s200/IMG_3872.PNG" width="91" /></a> Ideally one wants to rebirth when they get stuck and can't proceed any further without a rebirth. You want to defeat as many countries as many times as possible. To do this we have to look at the <b>World</b> map.<br />
<br />
The World map is divided into continents, each which a set group of countries the Kaizins can fight in. They fight lots of enemies from bootleg Superman to bootleg Power Ranger. Every time they defeat one they go to the next stage. But every 10 stages has a boss. They will not automatically fight the bosses (Though the in between stages they will auto fight). You must engage the boss fights manually. There is a <b>Boss Auto</b> button but this costs gems and only lasts for a small amount of time. The more useful button is the <b>Boss Fight All</b> one in the top left of the World map. It will allow all the boss battles to start at once. if you want all the boss battles on all continents to be chosen you will need to watch an ad.<br />

How do you use boosts? Well, you can either pay for them or watch 30 second ads for each individual boost. The boosts last for 15 minutes each. <b>ATK Booster</b> and the <b>ATK SPD Booster</b> are the most important ones as these will make battling easier and faster. Otherwise users will need to manually tap the Kaizins in a battle to force them to attack the enemy. But the speed boost will cause them to attack as soon as possible after each attack's cool down without forcing the user to be watching the entire battle. This means several boss battles can be fought at once more easily.<br />
<br />
The application has a lot of areas to draw a user's focus such as weapon, armour and accessory upgrades, There is also drawing new Kaizins, upgrading your deputy and lair, levelling your <b>Great Leader</b> (Who gives you extra boosts when you level them up, which also takes Kaizin Stones), raids, adventures, and so on. It's all a bit over complicated. Plus the constant ads you have to watch to boost, to revive kaizins, or after Kaizins die gets frustrating.<br />

At the end of the day the app is attractive and the basic concept is fine as well as the main game play. However, I think they added too much unneeded content and there are way too many ads. You will honestly spend as much time watching ads as doing anything else in this app. I just didn't enjoy this and don't recommend it unless you really like watching ads. I am giving this a two of five because it does work, it is playable... it just isn't really enjoyable.<br />

So, this review will be for 3 different weather apps in one post. I downloaded all of these while looking for a cute weather app. I wanted to see if any of them would be able to replace the default weather app I usually use.<br />
<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8A%E3%82%93%E3%81%AE%E5%A4%A9%E6%B0%97%E4%BA%88%E5%A0%B1/id1298555456?mt=8" target="_blank">かりんの天気予報 (Karin Weather Forecast)</a></span></b><br />
I thought this app would be similar to an app that is no longer available called Moe Weather. I was never able to use the app but it had a character read the local weather for you. I can't really compare the two since I never used the Moe one but that was what inspired me to download this app.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tROLTANyzPSPGSCDOUl4LRYPJBgozA5141XicA8r3_-mrppQEtqqict8YcXTEcB0NXGxZGLAPEFQiElSsSB5brsLiD6aCLXKN9MTa7c4fqlGiKoJREPLINc3nQgp9fsCY9_qfM45Hnw/s1600/IMG_2482%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tROLTANyzPSPGSCDOUl4LRYPJBgozA5141XicA8r3_-mrppQEtqqict8YcXTEcB0NXGxZGLAPEFQiElSsSB5brsLiD6aCLXKN9MTa7c4fqlGiKoJREPLINc3nQgp9fsCY9_qfM45Hnw/s400/IMG_2482%255B1%255D.PNG" width="183" /></a> The Karin character featured in the app is cute. However, there is nowhere in this app to set your location. I assume it uses your current GPS and only uses locations in Japan. Since I am not in Japan... this did not work. It doesn't even give you the Japanese weather if you're curious to know what the weather is in Japan. I can only assume you have to be in Japan for the app to work at all.<br />
<br />
There is a scroll bar on the side to make Karin smaller or bigger so you can see the map behind her. She reacts when you tap on her but she does not make any noises. Putting your finger on the screen and dragging it around will result in her following your finger movement with her head. Users can also select an outfit for her from the settings menu in the top right. The options are a Gothic Lolita costume, and two uniforms in pink or blue.<br />
<br />

Sound options<br />
On Off<br />
Bookmark startup location (Meaning to remember the location you initially access the app in rather than changing based on current location)<br />
On Off<br />
Change Clothes<br />
3 options available...<br />
<br />
The top left toggle on the main screen is whether or not to show the temperature. The right side of the board shows the current date.<br />
<br />
This visuals of the app are fine but the app not working outside of Japan or having any languages available aside from Japanese are a problem. I would not recommend wasting time downloading this application for weather.<br />

It is a cute and happy looking dog with a round headed teddy bear Asian fusion cut. The images in this application of of this specific dog. They are randomly generated for each location and cycled every hour (Like the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yahoo-weather/id628677149?mt=8" target="_blank">Yahoo Weather</a> app).<br />
<br />
When you start the app cute text pops up saying 'Boo: The world's cutest dog'. Seems a bit presumptuous off the bat. However, the app itself is easy to understand and fairly user friendly.<br />
<br />
This works just like the Yahoo Weather app. Swiping left and right cycles through locations you have added. To add new locations there is a +City icon that allows users to add more cities to the list.<br />
<br />
Tapping the Boo head button at the bottom brings up an option to pay 2.99USD to remove the ads from the app. The share button is pretty self explanatory. The settings app allows users to change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius or visa-versa.<br />
<br />
Within the Settings users can also opt to get notifications when new Boo images are added, Help/FAQ/etc, the Booweather website and the ability to pay to remove ads again.<br />

On the main screen when checking the weather, aside from the dog image in the background you will see the city name, temperature, the day's high/low and what the weather condition is (Snow, overcast, fog, etc). Swiping up will allow access to more information.<br />
<br />

<br />
The popup asking users to rate the app is quite aggressive. Upon opening the app I got the popup 3 times in under 5 minutes. Of course I'd assume adding my rating to the app page would stop these.<br />
<br />
The app is alright... basically a dog themed version of the Yahoo Weather app. The ads can sometimes get in the way, but not terribly often. That being said it is a solid application and does what it is supposed to.<br />
<br />

However, there is some minor difference in the options.<br />
<br />
Like the Boo app the main screen shows the city, temperature, etc, along with a random cat image. Some of the cat images are cuter than others.<br />
<br />
Swiping left and right changes the location, and more locations can be added with the button at the bottom of the screen.<br />
<br />
In the Settings menu there are the same options as the Boo app but there is no link to the BooWeather website. Instead there is a link to the featured animal shelter. Clicking this gives you some information on the shelter and a link to the website for that shelter.<br />
<br />
Swiping up is how you get to the more detailed weather information where you can find the forecast over the next several days and so on.<br />

To remove the ads users have to sign up for a Meow Prime Plan. these are subscription packages that range from one month to 6 months to a lifetime subscription plan. The subscription removes the ads but also gives you access to all of the Kitten themes.<br />
<br />
Kitten themes can be accessed by tapping the Kitten button at the bottom of the main app page. All users have access to the Default theme which is what the app has upon downloading. There is a free theme called Crazy Cat Art as well. There are several other themes but users need to have Meow Prime in order to download and use them. These themes include Yoga Cats, Sphynx, Holiday Kitties, Kitty Love and many more. Users can even create their own theme by uploading their own cat images (Requires Meow Prime). The themes will change the images available for the main page backgrounds.<br />
<br />
The app is cute and does what it is intended to do. The functionality is simple and it has an easy user interface. I think the fact that you can upload your own images is a great feature, though I'm not sure I'd wish to pay for it.<br />

I thought the app looked cute so I gave it a try. I found that it didn't really keep me motivated and using it seemed like more of a hassle really. However, I will share some details about how the app works, what I didn't like, what I did like and how to get around one part of the app that most people are finding difficult, but I figured out how to make it work...<br />
<br />
First off, this app is very attractive as far as graphics go. It is bright and colourful with little stamps for your calendar tracking, two costume options for your diet cheer coach, Karin, and even the ability to make Karin gain and lose weight along with you. So there is a visual appeal. But there aren't really any fancy animations or fun interactive visuals to partake in. Well, aside from tapping the screen makes Karin's head slightly move in that direction and tapping her makes he head jiggle a bit.<br />
<br />
As for sounds, there is no music but it does turn off any music other apps may have been playing when you start the app up (IE Pandora, etc). It has sort of bleep bloop sounds when you tap certain things but these can be turned off in the options.<br />
<br />
The app was clearly originally intended to be in Japanese and some of the translation is questionable or has unusual choices in grammar or wording. That being said, it is pretty clear to understand what certain phrases intend to say.<br />
<br />

Here you can choose between English and Japanese language settings, toggle sounds, enter height and weight and set a weight goal. users can also choose whether or not Karin will diet with them or not under the <b>Mode</b> setting.<br />
<br />
<b>Diet Together</b> will allow the graphic of Karin to become thicker when users gain weight or to look thick prior to them reaching their goal. If Karin is dieting she will have a sports kit on complete with shorts and a polo top.<br />
<br />
Rather than to have Karin dieting with the users, they can change the mode to <b>Cheering Mode</b>. This makes Karin wear a cheering uniform to help motivate the user to do their best. Her pompoms will move around on the main screen in this mode She will also perform a couple cheer stances.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This next bit is important... One would assume that after they enter their information into the settings they should tap the <b>Initialize Data</b> button. As such many users are complaining that after entering in this information that Karin will not retain it and the app won't work. <b>Do not press</b> this button. After entering in the information, simply switch back to the Home screen. If you press the button the app will not start using the information you have entered. This is clearly an issue in the app's code. However, simply not pressing the button seems to work just fine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the <b>Home</b> screen users can see Karin in the costume that is associated with the mode they have chosen. They can also see their height, current weight, target weight, how much weight they have left to use and a spot for BMI that doesn't seem to work. Tapping on Karin will cause her to display a speech bubble with some sort of dietary information such as tips and facts associated with certain foods or how to stay fit. Unfortunately sometimes these facts can be quite wordy which causes the speech bubble to expand past the edge of the screen making it impossible to read all of the text.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
On the right side of the home screen users can record their current weight each day so Karin can keep track of how much has been gained or lost and keep a record of the fluctuations. Tapping the <b>Record Weight</b> button makes a piggy appear with arrows pointing left or right that can be tapped to adjust the weight. Users can also tap the <b>Report</b> buttons with the happy or sad faces. If they have done something good such as exercise, walking, eating smaller meals or fasting, they can hit the happy report button. If they did something that will negatively affect their weight loss such as eating or drinking too much, not getting enough sleep or snacking, they can hit the sad face report button. A sticker associated with their report will be added to that calendar day. Multiple stickers can be added to each day.<br />
<br /></div>

It can be viewed in latest, week, month or year mode.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRREYyGJA6IHVYQM2oqJ4SLqQ2hWFZCzQzAKjO4TbY_I03tCt4_M3n_35xKaEMA_WVKvHb0FKoOy5s8eLkdweM8xr1sT_VTBc5mKTQftEx80WXXZMqg5luSkEU0rmCQQJFtm-7x2qCKI/s1600/IMG_3304%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRREYyGJA6IHVYQM2oqJ4SLqQ2hWFZCzQzAKjO4TbY_I03tCt4_M3n_35xKaEMA_WVKvHb0FKoOy5s8eLkdweM8xr1sT_VTBc5mKTQftEx80WXXZMqg5luSkEU0rmCQQJFtm-7x2qCKI/s320/IMG_3304%255B1%255D.PNG" width="147" /></a><br />
The <b>Calendar</b> button is where you can see any stickers you've added to a particular day. This allows users to track how much good or bad habits have been performed. tapping a particular day allows for that day to be edited. Here more stickers can be added or if one was added on accident, it can be removed.<br />
<br />
That covers all the parts of the app. The app does have an ad banner across the bottom of the app but no popups occur so that is a plus. I generally don't mind ad banners so long as they do not interfere with the functionality of the app.<br />
<br />
In case you may be wondering what happens after you meet your goal... nothing happens. It doesn't even stop tracking your goal. There is no happy sound, animation, or congratulatory message... It is all a bit anticlimactic...<br />
<br />
In summary, the app is cute, but some of the functionality either doesn't work or needs to be worked around to work properly. Watching Karin get fat even if you only gain .1 LBS tends to do less motivating than demotivating. I didn't find the app helped me diet and it didn't motivate me to continue using it. I don't think I would recommend the app to anyone who is serious about dieting or losing weight.<br />

The premise of this app looked interesting. Supposedly this is an intelligent journaling app that helps you track your moods and keep track of what happens in your life with a little emote that asks you questions and guides you through your self reflection... I have to say though, I was honestly a bit underwhelmed.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-J-foFkw25KYIe05ho7KcPwNgRTtNMYscrB_pXonA1KSb_xD2B8iSxDjNdcZK6gizymjdRO0JNCLUpCfowYZBCnBaOoZupWVoXiiLiNmFBFAw530i5aSPfNgzL9n6jPhlq92rhcnMeCA/s1600/IMG_3300%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-J-foFkw25KYIe05ho7KcPwNgRTtNMYscrB_pXonA1KSb_xD2B8iSxDjNdcZK6gizymjdRO0JNCLUpCfowYZBCnBaOoZupWVoXiiLiNmFBFAw530i5aSPfNgzL9n6jPhlq92rhcnMeCA/s400/IMG_3300%255B1%255D.PNG" width="183" /></a> The layout of the application is pretty clean and straight forward and the little emote is a nice touch. Each day the app asks you how your day was, why you felt it was good or bad, how you felt through out the day, asks you to elaborate and then asks you an optional random question (Such as what you would bring with you to a deserted island). My issue is the lack of options for the answers to some of these questions. I never feel the option I choose is accurate, but there just isn't a better option listed. I'll explain...<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>How was your day today?</b>(Only one option can be chosen)</li>
</ul>
<br />
Really Terrible , Somewhat Bad , Completely Okay , Pretty Good , Super Awesome<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>What made today _</b>(Whatever option you chose above)<b>__?</b> (Only one option can be chosen)</li>
</ul>
<br />
Work , Family , Relationship , Education , Food, Travelling , Friends , Exercise , Other<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Would you like to elaborate on what happened?</b> (This will take you to a box where you can explain everything that happened that day or to skip it. The character count is limited.)</li>
</ul>
<br />
Yes! , No thanks<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>How did you feel through out the day?</b> (Only one option can be chosen)</li>
</ul>
<br />
Happy , Blessed , Lucky , Good , Confused , Stressed , Angry , Anxious , Down<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Then the random question is asked. Anything from "Do you have a mentor" to "What's the worst money that you've ever spent". You can type the answer into a text box with limited character count or skip the question entirely.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

Expect to see the same images over and over. On the plus side you can go back to your stories and edit them to add an image or notes for that day's entry. The image you upload can then be used as a cover photo for that story.<br />
<br />

Also I feel users should be able to choose more than one option. I'm not sure how most people work but I am affected by multiple things through out the day and my mood fluctuates accordingly.<br />
<br />
The app allows more than just the ability to shuffle through old journal entries though. You can favourite entries you like and check your weekly and monthly <b>Stats</b>. These stats show you the fluctuation of your overall mood each day through out the week or month on a line graph.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEF0n-Vf4ZArEQ4f5v6yPeSJzGpWBPSI9CYQnQ6SBXFVHhpEUL0DotjZd3DsFPkZruOyxlJUcPq3_EvR-sXjykIwLA1nVRBVORLXNv95Ma8ysToUiWnhNsrJg0qxRmY0AYTJecbNx2Vy0/s1600/IMG_3289%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEF0n-Vf4ZArEQ4f5v6yPeSJzGpWBPSI9CYQnQ6SBXFVHhpEUL0DotjZd3DsFPkZruOyxlJUcPq3_EvR-sXjykIwLA1nVRBVORLXNv95Ma8ysToUiWnhNsrJg0qxRmY0AYTJecbNx2Vy0/s320/IMG_3289%255B1%255D.PNG" width="147" /></a> Users also have a private <b>Profile</b> where they can add a photo, check their achievements, how many stories they've written, and their current streak. The edit option in the top right allows users to change the colour scheme, adjust your "morning" or "evening" hours so Reflectly knows how to greet you, Logout, export data, or delete your account.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that <b>I am using the free version</b> of this app. There are paid options that unlock more features such as unlimited stories because... yeah... The free version only allows you to create so many stories. The paid version also allows you new random questions at the end of each entry instead of it cycling through the same few questions. I wrote eleven entries and only got asked 3 or 4 different questions. The rest were all repeats. The other perks of the paid version are biometric lock and advanced statistics. Which means the paid version doesn't even improve much on the parts of this app I had issues with.<br />
<br />
It should also be noted that unlocking this app through payment is not a one time payment. It is a <b>subscription plan</b>, and it is not particularly cheap. <b>35.99USD</b> for one year or <b>23.99USD</b> for 3 months.<br />
<br />
All in all the app isn't by any means bad. However I find it to be too limited for my taste and the subscription option feels unnecessary for this type of application. The app is simple to use however and could be very useful for those wanting a personal journal without a lot of bells and whistles or who want to keep track of their mood over a long period of time. Sadly if users wish to do this for a long time they will need to pay a subscription fee which I consider a down side to the app.<br />

I actually didn't think I was going to like this when I downloaded. I noted that the graphics looked cute but generally any app with 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend' in the title tends to be fairly unimpressive to me. However, I actually enjoyed this one... But somehow I feel guilty for liking it...<br />

First off, you play a girl who is in high school. You're classmates with your shy childhood friend who is a male who has seen his share of bullying for being a cry baby. As a child you used to defend him, though that was several years back. You don't really interact with him much nowadays until the two of you were chosen for a school contest. As you'll be asked to perform on stage together and need to be charismatic and fashionable, you decide you need to make some adjustments to your old friend.<br />
<br />

First his hair, lose the glasses, change how he wears his uniform, etc. But this is where I take a bit of issue. I feel so sorry for this poor guy. The female character that represents the player's character is the worst. She is bossy, demanding, doesn't seem to care about the poor guy's feelings and seems to care more about this contest than she does about him. She is basically a terrible friend.<br />
<br />
Now I said I feel bad for the poor male character who stars in this app story... But more so in the beginning of the app than the ends... There are <b>four possible endings</b> one can get while playing through. Most chapters don't split off or has choices but there are 2 choices that will happen toward the end that determine which path you will go down. Though I feel for this guy and secretly wish he would just tell this girl to leave him alone, depending on the ending you get... things can actually get pretty dark and this guy gets a bit hard to... sympathise with. Especially the dark ending... Which is actually part of my guilt... I liked this ending too much considering morally I really should not have...<br />
<br />

You read through the story bits, 3 per chapter, and in between you tap speech bubbles. The speech bubbles are how you get experience. The experience fills the meter in the top left which is how you inch your way to new bits of story.<br />
<br />
There are two types of bubbles. As your little mini shy friend wanders around the screen he murmurs sad things. If you tap those speech bubbles you get 1 experience point for each one. They pop up about once per 10 seconds. You can tap the cheer button at the bottom of the room he is in to create positive bubbles. Tapping these gives you 2 experience points. Each chapter requires more and more experience to complete. The room can hold 12 bubbles at once. If you let them stack up this high, no more can be added till you pop them. They will continue to fill up even if the app is closed.<br />
<br />

You can have up to 5 tries at once. It takes 10 minutes to refill one try. The scratch card has 6 scratch spots. But after each scratch the scratched spots are no longer visible and the options shuffle. So you can't open all the slots on a single scratch card. You can earn 3 experience points, 30 experience points or a detox drink item. I find the top middle spot to be particularly lucky... But that's just me.<br />
<br />
There are a few consumable items in the app. You can choose to spend money on them but you really don't need to. You can play for free and still beat the app with every ending in under a week. The money you spend earns you Gems, which are in game currency only available through purchases. 120 Yen grants you 20 gems. Bigger purchases are also available. The items are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li> <b>Detox Drink</b> which can be purchased for 3 gems (This can also be obtained through finishing chapters, the scratch card or completing achievements) and grants you 20 experience.</li>
<li><b>Fever Time</b> which is 8 gems (Can also be obtained through completing achievements) and makes poppable bubbles appear faster for 10 seconds.</li>
<li><b>Mutter Booster</b> which is 120 yen and increases the amount of negative murmur bubbles allowed from 12 to 24.</li>
<li><b>Double Exp</b> which costs 120 yen and doubles the experience earned from each bubble tapped... which honestly isn't a great boost.</li>
</ul>

The boyfriend character changes in appearance as you progress through the story. Some versions are only obtainable through certain story paths. If you want to collect them all you need to finish with each ending. If you want to double check which you've collected you can do so by tapping the <b>Collection</b> button at the bottom of the app. You can also view the still images you unlocked through your play throughs from this area. <b>There are 14 stills and 10 unlockable Nao chibis</b>.<br />
<br />
The in game achievements can be found in the <b>Quest</b> area. There are <b>35 achievements to unlock</b> for extra experience or consumable items.<br />
<br />
There are a lot of things I like about this application. The graphics are very well done and certainly keep me coming back. I am addicted to unlockables so the fact that there are different graphics I need to keep playing through to unlock has a certain appeal for me. I like the story even though I hate the female character so much. I have a habit of skipping dialogue through some games like this but this one actually kept me reading. And here I thought I didn't care about teen drama... Who knew? Even the murmur bubbles and cheer bubbles can change depending on how the story is progressing. It is this attention to detail I greatly appreciate.<br />

On the downsides the low amount of experience you get from bubble tapping can be a real grind... Tedious screen tapping has never been my favourite thing to do. There is an ad banner on the screen but it isn't in the way. Occasionally an ad popup will occur or a popup will occur to ask if you'd like to watch an ad for 20 experience but these aren't too often.<br />
<br />
All in all I think this is a pretty decent app. Simple, attractive and fun to read.<br />

This is a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing game that anyone can play. The world has flooded and you are a girl adrift in the waters of the world. You catch fish and make trades at the occasional island such as what was once Mount Everest. You travel around the globe completing quests, upgrading your equipment and fishing. All the while listening to the soft sounds of the water.<br />

Sometimes learning a new app game can be stressful and confusing if there are too many things to do and remember to fully utilise all the features. Even if you don't utilise every feature of this app, you can still enjoy playing.<br />
<br />
The map starts off with only a few places to visit. More places unlock as you complete more quests. However, you can take as long as you like to complete the quests and play at your own pace.<br />
<br />
The world map is at the top of your screen. From this you can see where any active quests are. Here you can see the islands where you can get quests or trade, as well as everyplace you have unlocked. You can also see where any special catches are.<br />
<br />
A yield sign on the map means a special fish can be caught there. Special fish are harder to catch but also drop items that can be traded at island bases. A skull means a boss fish is there. Bosses only appear if you have a quest relating to them currently active. An anchor is an island base. There are also extra areas like the roulette and the whack a mole game which give you free goodies.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvCvdJH0L0JS45_qufSaXMWgbvPnwkzTfuUsoU_A5_BWxgBJquOkUjY_2l2pRKA71lVJKKgNgj9jBk42lekYo1_QE06E3JHKf0SnlGZuB8GNjcP_WfGUuaILyy-k2RkiBIZ8xhF-xersk/s1600/IMG_2460%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvCvdJH0L0JS45_qufSaXMWgbvPnwkzTfuUsoU_A5_BWxgBJquOkUjY_2l2pRKA71lVJKKgNgj9jBk42lekYo1_QE06E3JHKf0SnlGZuB8GNjcP_WfGUuaILyy-k2RkiBIZ8xhF-xersk/s200/IMG_2460%255B1%255D.PNG" width="91" /></a> While at a base you'll likely gain or turn in quests. However, you can also sell things fish have dropped to earn pearls. You can use this to purchase skins. Each island trader has a different supply of skins that relate to the country they exist in. There are skins for your hair, costume, hat, fishing rod, boat, etc. Each skin has a small skill that benefits you as well.<br />
<br />
All active quests can be seen on the left side of your app screen, though it can be hidden and revealed by tapping the plus or minus above the list. The quests are easy. They usually tell you to go to a certain location, catch a certain number of a specific type of fish or beat a boss fish.<br />
<br />

You will gain more tools and skills to help you to perform these actions as you gain levels and complete quests. You can upgrade your fishing rod, harpoon, canon, machine gun, etc to assist you in catching fish faster and doing more damage to take down bigger fish. You can use little fire coin looking things to give you temporary boosts such as increased navigation speed or growth acceleration which boosts how much experience you get.<br />
<br />
The app features soft colours, white noise and day/night graphics so you know how much time has passed in the world. The fish you encounter are fun and creative. If you ever have trouble catching a fish just go back to an area with easier fish to catch (The later areas are harder than the earlier areas).<br />
<br />

It isn't a competitive game, with no friends list or high score board. It is just you and the ocean... and the fish.<br />
<br />
There is a shop in the app that allows you to spend money if you'd like to. This is not needed to play or enjoy the game though. Users can choose to purchase pearls, diamonds, potions, or mastery points to get more stuff earlier on in the game without having to gain it from quests and such. The shop also features special skins that can only be purchased there with diamonds. These skins change every few hours.<br />
<br />
I think this is a great casual game that is fun and relaxing. It is visually attractive as well as audibly. I love the lack of competition or recharging hearts or points or growing something that has to be checked on in a certain amount of hours. Players can play whenever they want, for as long as they want. The game is not constantly nagging them to come back. I have also experienced no ads in this game at all, which is great. I absolutely recommend this.<br />

<h3>
01 Soft Reset</h3>
This is a bit of cheating, honestly, but if you are unwilling to spend money on the app, this will come in handy. I wouldn't do this too early on in the game, but if you are trying to fill your Pattern Dex this is going to make it take a lot less time.<br />
<br />
When fishing for a Magikarp you will notice a little sweat bead illustration above your character's head once something starts tugging on the line. If this bubble appears once, it will be a normal grade Magikarp. This will include your Standard, Skelly, Calico and Orange pattern types. Two bubbles appearing will give you a rare pattern type such as Pink, Grey, Purple and so on. Three bubbles will guarantee you a super rare. Most super rares are just an event such as the <b>Transforming Magikarp</b> event. However, you can also get a shiny Magikarp from this.<br />
<br />
Watch the sweat bubbles and the character's leg. Once the sweat bubbles stop appearing the character will begin to lift their leg up as you can see in the image above. If the leg lifts after one bubble and you are trying to get a rare or super rare pattern type, quickly close the app before the fish appears. You will want to close it down immediately after that leg lifts. If you see the fish revealed, it is too late.<br />
<br />
Once the app is closed fully, restart it. The app will say you closed suddenly and take you back to the rod selection screen. You'll get another chance to fish up a Magikarp. One can just keep utilising the soft reset until they get the amount of sweat bubbles that fits the rarity they are going for.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The only other way of doing this that is not cheating would be to use diamonds to try again after catching a Magikarp you did not want. This costs 50 diamonds per retry. So it can add up really quickly. Especially since free players get very few diamonds very slowly in the app.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
02 Evolving Gyarados</h3>
This event can only happen one time so choose carefully! You can get a regular Gyarados from evolving any Magikarp or a red Gyarados by evolving a shiny golden Magikarp. Also worth noting is that once you evolve your Magikarp into a Gyarados you will no longer be able to use that Magikarp in the game. The mayor will take it from you and you will be forced to fish up another Magikarp.<br />
<br />
Users may have noted that you can tap on Magikarp when he is swimming around in your little habitat you create for him. If you tap him rapidly for long enough you will crack the Everstone. If you do this when you are level 10 (Thus able to have a Magikarp that can achieve level 20) then your Magikarp will evolve at level 20. If you do this when you are a lower trainer level then whatever Magikarp you get when you are a high enough level will evolve instead.<br />
<br />

<h3>
03 Dratini Catching</h3>
<div>
This is another event that can happen during fishing. Users do not get to keep the Dratini, just like when they fish up a Ditto. However, if you are looking to complete your Event Dex, this is something you will need to come across.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It will require 3 sweat bubbles to appear before the leg lift to signify a super rare event. Unlike the ditto, there is no tell before fishing to signify the event will happen. However, if you continue to try recatching a Magikarp with diamonds in one go (The soft reset does not count), you should get the Dratini event after spending 200 (That is 4 retries, 5 if you have never retried before) diamonds.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Though you can't keep the Dratini you do get a Skill Restore item which can come in handy later in the game when you have acquired a great deal of Friendship Pokemon.</div>

<h3>
04 Unlocking Ditto Cushion</h3>
To unlock this decoration item you will need to have the <b>Transforming Magikarp</b> event. Though the event is random it always takes place when you are fishing up a new Magikarp and there is an easy way to tell if it is about to happen. If you know the tell, you can always make sure to get it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimkUQzd8qr5qkUxUfaxW9Q1e1sYuLRXmecsYuMfL8SZZUnQFAC03qQ84BSnim32mNZY6Fk8UehYySbzRH7JGictUhyphenhyphenYwTx92CIM_mKiZbw5smrX0Em5kIWdjF8bqboAn6PFeRyMZJSJCM/s1600/IMG_2865%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="828" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimkUQzd8qr5qkUxUfaxW9Q1e1sYuLRXmecsYuMfL8SZZUnQFAC03qQ84BSnim32mNZY6Fk8UehYySbzRH7JGictUhyphenhyphenYwTx92CIM_mKiZbw5smrX0Em5kIWdjF8bqboAn6PFeRyMZJSJCM/s400/IMG_2865%255B1%255D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
When you see the rods facing different directions as they do in the image above, always choose the rod facing a different way from the other two. If you do this you will fish up a Ditto that looks like a Magikarp. This will add the <b>Transforming Magikarp</b> event to your Event Dex and add the Ditto Cushion to the decoration shop. You'll still need to use diamonds to purchase it, but it will be available from this point on.<br />

<h3>
05 The Ring Event</h3>
This is an event that you have to know how to trigger in order to achieve. If you are trying to complete the Event Dex, this information is important. In order to trigger this event you'll have to be at the screen where your Magikarp is swimming about in its habitat. The area where it eats food and you can see your friendship Pokemon.<br />
<br />
There is a small television by the water (Odd choice, right? Sounds dangerous). Tapping this television 7 times (Say no each time the notification appears) will make the screen turn to static. Seven, like seven days in The Ring. Now tap it another seven times and the static should stop. After that immediately go train. After training you will trigger an event with a creepy little ghost girl.<br />
<br />
This event can only be triggered one time so when the girl tells you to leave, you need to leave. If you don't leave, you will have wasted this event. The event is a great way to increase your Magikarp's level. When you leave, your Magikarp will gain one additional level from it. If you choose not to leave, you get nothing. The event will still be logged into your Event Dex, but you won't get your free level.<br />
<br />
Some people have stated that this extra level bonus is a way to add a level to your Magikarp beyond the max level your Magikarp has available. I have not been able to confirm this as the extra level trick can only be performed once.<br />
<br />

<h3>
06 Killing Magikarp</h3>
Sometimes you have a really crumby Magikarp and you don't feel like spending diamonds to try catching another so you are stuck with it... Or are you? There are a few ways to get your Magikarp killed so you can try catching a better one. When at the event that asks if you want to jump high into the tree to reach a berry your Magikarp has a chance of being grabbed by a Pidgeotto and carried away (We all know what happens after that... it gets eaten), or during the event where you find a Pokeball laying on the ground, it can turn out to be a Voltorb and explode, killing your Magikarp. However, there is no way to trigger these specific events or to ensure the bad result... There is one way to guarantee a Magikarp death though.<br />
<br />
Double tapping anywhere in the watery habitat your Magikarp swims around in will cause the Magikarp to swim there. If you tap near the top of the water, your Magikarp will swim up to the surface. When he is up here tapping him causes him to do an air jump. If you continue to tap and perform more jumps a Pidgeotto will fly by. This is your warning. Ignore it and keep jumping. The Bird type Pokemon will return and fly away with your Magikarp. You will then be able to go back to catch a new one.<br />
<br />
<h3>
07 Zoom Out</h3>
<div>
The app never really tells you this but using the pinch method you can zoom in or zoom out while playing the game, any time you are in the habitat. This comes in handy when trying to feed your Magikarp.</div>

08 Eevee Statue Skill Restore</h3>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are many decorations available in the decorations shop that one can purchase with their diamonds. However, one of these decorations can benefit you without you needing to purchase it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the decoration Shop scroll down to the Bronze Eevee statue and give the image a tap. This only works once and only with this item. You will receive a special reward of one Skill Restore for your amazing discovery.</div>

Some events are linked to the Pokemon friendships you have purchased or won in the game. Not every friendship item is linked to an event. If you are trying to complete your Event Dex you will need to make sure to obtain the following Pokemon Friendships...</div>

<h3>
10 Free LP Restores</h3>
LP Restore items allow you to continue battling in the league immediately even after you've had a loss. Without them, you have to wait for a 30 minute cool down. There is a way to get three of these for free.<br />
<br />
If you battle in the league and lose you can go back to your Magikarp habitat where you can feed or train... don't. Just wait it out (Or use one of your LP Restores). You want to go back to the same battle and lose again. To ensure a loss, you need to avoid gaining points in between battles. After your second loss, do the same thing. Either wait without levelling or use another LP Restore. After this third loss you will get an event that awards you 3 free LP Restore items.<br />

This is a really cute game. It is easy and perfect for casual gamers. The concept? Magikarp, possibly one of the least popular Pokemon from the popular Pokemon franchise, is the only Pokemon you are allowed to use in this game. You compete against other Magikarp trainers to catch and train the most powerful, highest jumping Magikarp in the world.<br />
<br />
I actually really like Magikarp. One of my favourite lines from the animated series was "Magikarp is a Pokemon Goldmine", which I say... probably way too often. One would not think this phrase could be used as often as I use it... but it can. I even had a Magikarp deck back in the 1990s when the Pokemon Trading Card Game was popular.<br />
<br />
For those who have not seen it yet... behold... the beautiful Magikarp Song...<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H3x3-22Gi3g" width="100%"></iframe><br />
<br />
Alright, enough about how great Magikarp is. in the app you play an androgynous character who you have no ability to customise or name. This is a bit of a down side in my view. I am all about customisation. However, there are other elements of the app that allow you some creative freedoms.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56FyDSleFg7pX4VvLiOZ7TqL4Yt2zQjwxml1rZe3PIz5c86zuov998bnClTnTqyVh6mzndkNh8vS6NzYoNUIFv3o46fVaVLpN4GoMSjinVRkK3ik8FizDeA3LGodN5RisUtN21Jvqvnc/s1600/IMG_2834%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56FyDSleFg7pX4VvLiOZ7TqL4Yt2zQjwxml1rZe3PIz5c86zuov998bnClTnTqyVh6mzndkNh8vS6NzYoNUIFv3o46fVaVLpN4GoMSjinVRkK3ik8FizDeA3LGodN5RisUtN21Jvqvnc/s320/IMG_2834%255B1%255D.PNG" width="147" /></a> You can only use one Magikarp at a time. In the beginning of the game you can only use 'Old rod' to catch your Magikarps so you're more likely to just get a basic looking Magikarp. However, as you play and get access to stronger rods you can get higher chances of obtaining more interesting Magikarp patterns such as a grey, pink or even purple colour. That being said, at any point in the game you can get lucky and catch a shiny golden Magikarp, even with the worst rod.<br />
<br />
Alright, you have a Magikarp... now what? Your goal is to earn <b>Jump Points</b> and compete against other trainers in a Magikarp Jumping League to jump higher. Random bits of food will drop into your Magikarp's habitat (Which is where you keep it when not training or in the league). Tapping or swiping these bits of food will cause Magikarp to swim over and eat them. Each of them will add to Magikarps JP (Jump points). You can also train him up to three times before you need to replenish your training points. These training sessions also increase Magikarp's JP.<br />
<br />
You start off with two different ways to train. The Sandbag Slam and the Jump Counter. These training sessions can be levelled up in order to give a bigger bonus of JP each time they are performed. More types of training sessions can also be obtained but they are locked based on the level of the trainer. You should get access to a new training method to unlock ever few trainer levels up until you reach level 84.<br />
<br />
When you click the Train button the training method chosen is randomly chosen from those you have available. Also random is how well your Magikarp performs during that particular training session. A Magikarp can do good, great or amazing. Clearly the better your Pokemon performs the more points will be earned from the training session. The fun bonus for players is that each of these effort types will display differently at the end of the session. For example below you can see the Sandbag Slam training session. One image shows a <b>Great Effort</b> while the other shows <b>Amazing Effort</b>.<br />

<br />
After a training session sometimes a random event will be triggered allowing you to interact with NPCs or giving you choices that can have both positive and negative outcomes. These choices can supply you with coins, diamonds, items, trainer experience, extra training points or JP.<br />
<br />

To do this click the lower left button that says <b>Town</b>. Food and training sessions can be upgraded or purchased with coins you earn while playing Coins are earned very easily in this game so you should be fine to always get whatever is newly unlocked as long as you don't go on a crazy spending spree.<br />
<br />
Aside from the <b>Coin Shop</b> there is a <b>Diamond Shop</b> where users can purchase Friendship Items, Decorations and consumable Items with the diamonds they have acquired. Diamonds are much harder to earn and save so be careful and choose wisely when buying things with them. I suggest sticking to the Friendship items and Decorations as they will help you in boosting and growing your Magikarps more than the consumables will. Especially since the consumables are one use but the friendship item and decoration boosts can be used over and over again.<br />
<br />
The last area of the Town section is your <b>Records</b>. This is where you can access your Pattern Dex, Event Dex Hall of Fame and your Status. Pattern Dex will show you what pattern types of Magikarp you have raised, as well as how many of each of them you have had in the past. it will take a long time to complete this as some of the patterns are only available with rods you achieve later in the game. Event Dex is like the Pattern Dex but it shows you what events you have uncovered. It also gives you hints on how to unlock other events.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcTHQZNa2yrPhewe0BttwICmP1qTVFgPU-BWYrejLkkGfSAhgU4ssmWqncTtycn96En-b-pJowmo46IMc8lOaYw0RkmQBi7RuJYa634h7_IdVuo2PGZUTFQQcVVkIVlUbc2Rwxv24bgR8/s1600/IMG_2844%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcTHQZNa2yrPhewe0BttwICmP1qTVFgPU-BWYrejLkkGfSAhgU4ssmWqncTtycn96En-b-pJowmo46IMc8lOaYw0RkmQBi7RuJYa634h7_IdVuo2PGZUTFQQcVVkIVlUbc2Rwxv24bgR8/s320/IMG_2844%255B1%255D.PNG" width="147" /></a> Hall of Fame shows you your great accomplishments in the app, such as the victories over different leagues. The Status section shows you the information on the current Magikarp you are raising.<br />
<br />
<b>League</b> is at the bottom right of your main habitat screen. This is where you compete against other trainers. Don't worry if you lose a battle. You can do more training and come back later. The exception to this is if your Magikarp reaches it's power limit. Then you will have to compete until you lose. Once you lose your Magikarp will retire and you will catch a new one that will grow stronger. There are 13 League sets, each with stronger Magikarp to face and new better rewards to achieve. Some League wins will result in a friendship item. Friendship items are how you add Pokemon friends to your habitat. Each one has a different skill they use to help your Magikarp out. they can also cheer for Magikarp during league battles which give him a 5% boost in JP.<br />
<br />
The Menu button in the main habitat screen allows you to decorate your habitat, customising it with decor or even themes. You can use consumable items you have won or purchased here as well. You can see your achievements and reap the rewards from achieving them, adjust your settings (Sound, language, Data Backup, Notifications, How To, Credits, Support, etc) or make purchases using real money<br />
<br />

Exchange tickets come with every purchase of Diamonds. The Exchange Tickets are used to get rewards such as consumable items or coin purses. There is even a reward called Diamond Miner which will give you diamonds for free without you needing to do anything or spend more money.<br />
<br />
These are all the basics of the game. there are more details I could go into but let's not write a novel about this app...<br />
<br />
I think this application is super cute and fun. I love the graphics and the game play. The music and sounds are cute, the art is really clean and colourful. I would like to see some more customisation options available and I think if you catch non-Magikarp Pokemon in the pond (Which you can do) you should get them as friends you can put in your habitat. Otherwise, great app. I recommend this to any classic Pokemon fan.<br />

Anyone who saw the animated film Wreck it Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet may recall this app being featured. Even those who never saw the film probably saw the scene in the preview ads with the little girl playing the app on a tablet and Ralph interrupting her game to wreak a little havoc.<br />
<br />

Swipe the pancakes toward the bunny and the milkshakes toward the kitty. As the kitty or bunny are given more and more food/drink, they grow larger. Eventually the one who has gained too much weight will pop. Once the character has popped the two switch places on the screen. The unpopped one remains as large as it was previously while the popped one resets and is small again.<br />
<br />
The game starts slow but the speed steadily increases the longer you play. The game is over when the wrong food is given to one of the characters (IE the milkshake to the bunny or pancake to the kitty).<br />
<br />
If three of the food items go past the bunny and kitty and end up eaten by the mouth at the end of the track, you will receive a game over as well.<br />
<br />
Once it is game over you receive a high score and are able to start over again from the beginning to try to beat your score. High scores can also be shared to social media to brag to your friends.<br />
<br />
Personally my strategy for these sorts of games is to only focus on one side. Everything that doesn't go on that side goes on the other side. So rather than splitting your concentration between the two, you focus on just one half. This allows you to go further faster (In my experience). As there are only the two characters and two food items, this is a simple way to get through the game<br />
<br />
The game is only available in the English language but besides 'Game Over' there really isn't much to read, so it shouldn't matter.<br />
<br />
This is a really basic application with no settings, bells or whistles. It is cute and easy, while still having that challenge factor to beat one's personal best and keep pushing the limits. It seems appropriate for any age, though keep in mind there are ad banners at the bottom of the app.<br />
<br />
My only issue is it may be a bit too basic for me. I'd love to see more characters or menu items added to give the game more variety and challenge. Otherwise, it is a very cute and fun application. And don't worry, I don't think Ralph is going to jump in while you're playing and take over... at least let us hope not!<br />

Is that title long enough for you? Doesn't exactly roll off of the tongue, does it? Regardless, this is actually a really cute and useful free app.<br />
<br />
There are actually a few Lazy Monster workout apps in the app store. I assume they work very much the same but this review is specifically for the one targetting women. The app is free though one can choose to spend money to unlock more workouts within the app. I got lucky and downloaded it during a special sale where everything could be fully unlocked for just a 1.99USD. If you don't want to spend money to unlock workouts, fret not! They can be unlocked for free as well. You'll just have to work hard to earn the unlock options.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCbm2fsU64boCr8Efw6TBoiJtvLiH805FoMOWOHWwg3vJuhqJIM4aO6sALu0-xlFocOtvqt399Q66sPEXyLGm7uR4Xq2adXcmtDuZ83gPQ2mEKGhJNgSFV8KJR3fJt2z5lhPkqh85c4FU/s1600/IMG_1559%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCbm2fsU64boCr8Efw6TBoiJtvLiH805FoMOWOHWwg3vJuhqJIM4aO6sALu0-xlFocOtvqt399Q66sPEXyLGm7uR4Xq2adXcmtDuZ83gPQ2mEKGhJNgSFV8KJR3fJt2z5lhPkqh85c4FU/s320/IMG_1559%255B1%255D.PNG" width="147" /></a> Upon your first use of this app you can decide which monster you would prefer to be your workout buddy. There is one that appears more male and one that appears more female. Though who really knows how monster genders work. I chose the orange monster because he seemed cuter to me. You can see the other option to the right. If you are playing for free you'll have to settle with the orange fellow.<br />
<br />
The app includes several workouts and the ability to design your own workouts. Each workout is 7 minutes long. This usually means half a minute to just under one minute per exercise and a few seconds for cool down. While you exercise your monster companion exercises with you. During the cool down seconds he always looks really tuckered out.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqHfsiy88xwf9Hu1prfYH6z2CZIbw54GTQDHpZZF03R-mzCONDtdncs1KfbajL8J50yCu-HorrS79X95BKr29Vsfhp-a3HwusIlzg0ryTeWIchPHNcdL7NJIygcbPA3D0Wc-jR-vJ1MjQ/s1600/IMG_2749%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqHfsiy88xwf9Hu1prfYH6z2CZIbw54GTQDHpZZF03R-mzCONDtdncs1KfbajL8J50yCu-HorrS79X95BKr29Vsfhp-a3HwusIlzg0ryTeWIchPHNcdL7NJIygcbPA3D0Wc-jR-vJ1MjQ/s400/IMG_2749%255B1%255D.PNG" width="183" /></a> Every time you complete an exercise routine you'll gain experience. This levels you up and completes achievements which unlocks stuff. You can also gain experience for linking other social media accounts to your app, and for having friends who use the same app to workout. I skipped these because I'm not big on social networking. It could be a really good way for free users to get a lot of experience early and get some stuff unlocked right off the bat.<br />
<br />
If users want to purchase specific workouts individually this can be done in the <b>Shop</b> menu. there are 10 individual workouts or an option to unlock all of them Clicking on one of the workouts gives you a list of all the exercises in that routine so you can better decide which one works best for you and your individual needs. For example, the routine <i>Wake Up!</i> includes Jumping Jacks, Air Bicycle, Lunge, Side Plank Lifts, Elbow to the Knee, Plank, Push up Rotation, Leg Raise and Bow.<br />
<br />
On the front page where you can cycle through the available exercises you have unlocked, you can also tap the weight at the top right to create your own routine or choose one you have already created. This option is something that needs to be unlocked through playing the app (Or purchasing the routines). It is a great option though as it gives you access to any of the individual exercises and allows you to use the ones you like best. It is especially convenient if you have a limited space to workout in and want to create a routine based around that. Or if you can't do any floor based exercises such as push ups or planks, you can choose only standing ones for your routine.<br />

<br /></div>
At the bottom of the app, tapping the More tab will take you to everything else the app has available. Here you can see your logs (What days you exercised wit the app), set workout reminders, rate the app, recommend it to friends, contact support, restore any purchases and change the workout difficulty. the workout difficulty settings are as follows:<br />
<b>Easy</b>: Workout 20 seconds Rest 15 seconds<br />
<b>Normal</b>: Workout 30 seconds Rest 10 seconds<br />
<b>Hard</b>: Workout 40 seconds Rest 10 seconds<br />
<b>Nightmare</b>: Workout 50 seconds Rest 6 seconds<br />
<br />
Additionally, in the more sections users can toggle the monster voice on and off or change the music used during the exercises. There are 12 music types within the app or a 'None' option (For if you'd rather use your own music from another app or exercise in silence).<br />
<br />
This is a really cute app and watching the little monster workout along with me certainly motivates me to keep going. I've never been very consistent with workout apps but this one is really fun and I think it would be a great way to get kids to workout as well. The different routines make it very versatile whether you are working out at home or in the office during a break. The app is clean, simple and easy to use and understand. Certainly one of the better workout apps I have seen in the app store.<br />

Are you a fan of classical art? Famous painters? Do you like cats and puzzle games and adorable stories? This is a great app for you then. Honestly, this is one of my favourite app games that I tried in 2018.<br />
<br />
First things first-- the title... Clearly it is a combination of Van Gogh and the sound a cat makes (Meow). However, as some people have trouble pronouncing Van Gogh's name, the title of this app may be a bit complicated. I have attached a link to an article that explains how to pronounce Van Gogh's name <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/magazinemonitor/2010/01/how_to_say_van_gogh.shtml" target="_blank">here</a>. Hopefully that shall help clear up any confusion.<br />
<br />
One of the immediate points of the game that a new user might find appealing is the art. Upon opening the app you get an adorable claymation intro scene. This scene was created by Lunch Box Studios. The intro scene can be viewed in the video below. (Not my video)<br />
<br />

<br />
The art within the game is equally as charming. The soft colours add to the calming and cozy nature of the game.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
You play as Van Meowogh, a cat living alone in his former master's home with his mouse friend. The house is in disarray and has fallen apart since the loss of Van Meowogh's master. The bills have come due and Van Meowogh has to make ends meet while also fixing up the home to match its former glory. How does he do this? By painting of course. On his journey he will meet many friends and learn many new things.<br />
<br />
In order to create a new painting you have to perform several puzzle levels. Each level will serve as a piece to the full painting concept. Once all of the pieces are in place, the painting will be completed and sold to an art dealer. This is how you earn money in the game.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Each puzzle is different from the last. There are many different strategies and puzzle types to play. Though the idea is the same. Matching three or more of the same type of gem will create a set and take them off the board. Though some levels require you to break blocks by matching things near them or to move objects from the top to the bottom of the puzzle board by matching things below them.<br />
<br />
Before you begin a level you will be told if the level is particularly challenging. You will also have the opportunity to use any items you have gained to help you in the puzzle. Paintbrush items and Paint bottles help you clear large amounts of gems without matching. The cheese gives you extra moves to complete the puzzle. Each item serves a purpose. You can choose to purchase items with real money but if you are trying to play for free like me, use these items sparingly because you don't accumulate them very quickly.<br />
<br />
There is a separate set of items you can acquire that automatically is available to you within every puzzle you play on the far right side of the screen. However, these are harder to gain than the other items so be careful not to overuse them.<br />

At the end of each successfully completed puzzle level you get a chance to purchase an item set. It will add one new item to the set, based on how well you did on the last puzzle. The maximum item types is 3. You can choose to spend money to purchase this set, wait until your set includes better items or just ignore it entirely, as I did.<br />
<br />
If you fail to complete a level you can either use a heart to retry or spend cat food to gain a few more moves and go back to where you left off to see if you can beat the level. This can come in handy if you were very close to beating the level, however, don't use this tactic frivolously. It is best to only do this is you are facing a challenging level you have been trying to beat for several attempts or if you are playing during a Splash competition where winning several puzzles in a row gives you special benefits that make the next level you play easier. Losing your streak during this event will take you back to the beginning with no benefits at all. While having a streak of 3 wins or more will give you a really nice boost and make levels much easier to manage.<br />

The app has many events and contests fairly regularly. There is usually one going on at any particular time. Sometimes there are more than one happening at once. Finishing in the top during any of these contests can gain you some really nice rewards. Usually the top three players get a special avatar, the top ten receive clothing for Van Meowogh that they can choose to put on him. Everyone who participates gets something though. It also often results in new story lines to follow.<br />

The characters and story are a really big part of this application. I have found myself smiling and laughing along while I read the interactions that take place. Plus any individual who has studied art history will find themselves especially interested as many artists (in cat form) appear in this story. I find myself especially fond of Dali the cat. Though the interactions between Van meowogh and his mouse companion also really amuse me.<br />

The story takes place in chapters and new chapters are being added over time. Many of these chapters revolve around completely renovating a room in your house. The rooms starts out all grey with rubbish and holes and dust everywhere. Tapping on different things within the room is fun because Van Meowogh will comment on that item. Purchasing new things for the room has the same affect. The cat will comment on how much he likes certain items and what reminds him of his master. Tapping the cat himself will result in other phrases. These usually revolve around your current place in the story. Friends coming to visit the room can be tapped as well.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will briefly go over the different areas of the main screen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The top left is your heart count. 5 is the maximum amount of hearts. You can play as many levels as you want. hearts are only used when you lose a level and wish to replay it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Your cat food is next to the hearts and can be used to purchase goods in the shop which is the icon next to the cat food. taping the cat food itself will take you to a place to purchase more cat food with real money. However, completing a level results in 50-100 cat food per level, so this should not be necessary.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Top right is where your coins are displayed. Coins are used to complete parts of the story line. You can not purchase more coins. You must gain them through playing the game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Beside the coins are the settings. Tapping this opens the settings panel. Here you can connect your Facebook or email, change your username, toggle the notifications or language settings or view the credits. You can also turn the sound effects and music on or off from here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Within the settings panel one can also view the recent news feed, access the help section, or save the QR code to share.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Below the settings button on the main page you will see 3 more buttons. One has a mouse on it which allows you to purchase the three special items package I mentioned earlier. The next has an envelope. This is your mail section which includes friend requests, any items sent to you and hearts sent to you from friends. if you run out of hearts you can come here to get more (Provided you have friends who send you hearts).</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBY2wm8t12q077V6TKuTbNGgV7pldgrvGe3moODh8yaT7QBZdgKlg0912Tq3xv9cSsT9P1XusLtijN-rUQx6r_fGusfchOxoKO3LgA69xN-vqTTo4OXyDWElp1l-jdXcGpldkL3xmKDw8/s1600/IMG_2243%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="1600" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBY2wm8t12q077V6TKuTbNGgV7pldgrvGe3moODh8yaT7QBZdgKlg0912Tq3xv9cSsT9P1XusLtijN-rUQx6r_fGusfchOxoKO3LgA69xN-vqTTo4OXyDWElp1l-jdXcGpldkL3xmKDw8/s400/IMG_2243%255B1%255D.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The third button is your friends section. It has the list of your current friends as well as a way to search for new friends, invite or request. You can send hearts to all of your friends through this panel as well. The second tab in this section has suggestions if you wish to add more friends. Lastly the profile is located here where you can change your avatar, edit your name, copy your user ID or connect your Facebook account.</div>
<br />
Any currently active contests/events are on the left side of the main screen. Tapping these will help you access them. Different events have different rules.<br />
<br />
On the bottom of the main screen you can access the story. You pay a fee for each section from the coins you earned through play. From there you read through the interactions and the story progresses. You can view past chapters, paintings you have completed, friends you have made and anything you collected from special events through the story panel.<br />
<br />
The only buttons left on the main screen are a hanger which you use to wear any new clothing you have gained. You can change this up any time you like. It has no affect on anything and is purely just aesthetic. And the far right bottom tab shows you what level you are on and allows you to play that level by clicking it.<br />
<br />
This game is adorable and can be quite addictive. I found myself playing it a lot. I loved reading the story, meeting new characters and doing the puzzles. The competition aspect also really felt like a reason to keep playing as well. Though I found during this that fewer people seem to be playing than I would have imagined. This app has been out for a year and I found it very easy to get into the top 10 of any event. This application needs more love! I highly recommend it. I honestly found absolutely no faults in it.<br />

Ever wished you could get paid and never have to work a job? Ever wanted to be married to a wealthy woman and live in a huge house? Ever wanted to travel to another planet or have an army of clones to do all your tedious chores for you? Then this is the app for you...<br />
<br />

They always have great art but generally the apps lack depth or real story. This app is a bit different. It has a story and each time you complete a new section you get a bit of story line to go with it. Upon completing all of the achievements you can get the prologue which is very cute. I actually enjoyed this app a bit more due to this fact.<br />
<br />
In this application you play a fellow who believes he should not have to work for a living. He believes other people should serve him and that he should be allowed to simply sit around and be served. So right off a bat, super great guy, right? He has a girlfriend who appears to be very wealthy, works for her father's company... If you do things around the house she will even give you an allowance. Her father, however... hates your guts.<br />
<br />
You will spend your time playing the game trying your best to avoid running into her father. If you do rn into him he will take every bit of the money you have, causing you to have to save up from scratch. This guy shows p in the strangest of places... Think you can escape him by travelling to another planet? Nope, he's there too. Another dimension is surely a safe space right? Absolutely not... he can show up there too. This guy really gets around.<br />

This is a tap based game but you also have to make smart choices while you play. You can tap to clean up the house. Every time you tap you get an amount of money based on your current level. You increase your level by hitting the <b>Play</b> tab. You can unlock more places to go in the play tab as you work your way through the story. There are 15 places to play once you have them all unlocked. Each place shows you have many levels it will add to your total level value and the percentage chance you have of running into your girlfriend's father at that location. The lowest percentage is 5% at the Laboratory... oddly less than the 10% chance you have to run into him on Jupiter... Confused yet? I am.</div>

As you don't need to tap to gain money. You can rely on the automatic money you earn over time. this increases based on the levels of your individual chores. This are found in the <b>Actions</b> tab.
Unlocking new actions progresses the story. Each new action also builds up your automatic money. Each action has two options. You can <b>Execute</b> the action which will cost a certain amount of your on hand money but will also increase your money over time. Executing certain actions to a certain number (say 100 times) are also achievements that you'll need to unlock to finish the game. I will discuss that in a moment.<br />
<br />
The other option attached to each action is <b>Rank Up</b>. Unlike the execute option which I'm not sure has a limitation, the rank up option can only be performed a certain amount of times per action. Once you rank up to 4 stars, you are max rank. Ranking up requires on hand money as well but will significantly increase the rate your money auto increases.</div>

Once you have unlocked all of the content you need to finish the achievements to get the last piece of the story. These can be found in the <b>Achievement</b> tab at the bottom of the main screen. There are 50 achievements total. Most of them are pretty easy but some having to do with some of the later content can be time consuming.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqFRAT-upRWVE10JkluuqH-foNA1k63VCOz-RDFdOh_u2fRMj6QcYNFx_aPybD5-s0kCvYvn49aJ8jg-EJZ0-h4exES6s_W9mAlpLsQITkyoZU2jTRx3tb_R6dZ0PcIb5k_gmox7avL0/s1600/IMG_1762%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqFRAT-upRWVE10JkluuqH-foNA1k63VCOz-RDFdOh_u2fRMj6QcYNFx_aPybD5-s0kCvYvn49aJ8jg-EJZ0-h4exES6s_W9mAlpLsQITkyoZU2jTRx3tb_R6dZ0PcIb5k_gmox7avL0/s320/IMG_1762%255B1%255D.PNG" width="147" /></a> If you click the <b>History</b> tab you can reread any story line you have already unlocked. This is also where you go to remove ads for a small fee or turn the sound off. You can also see your basic game stats here such as how much you've completed the game and how much money you've lost (IE has been stolen from your girlfriend's father). Over my play time he stole 1,268,524,057,517,064,239 from me.<br />
<br />
Players can purchase <b>Money Increasers</b> or watch ads to gain<b> CL Pro 3</b> items to help them earn more but I never felt the need to do this.<br />
<br />
There are ad banners as the bottom of the screen and ads do tend to pop up now and then during game play. I don't mind the banners but I wish they would remove the pop up ads that are impossible to close out of unless they finish playing or you close the app. Half of the time if you let them finish they will crash the app and you'll have to restart it. The only good thing about this is the app does have quite a few bugs in it, one of which sometimes resets your on hand money after a crash to whatever it was before the app crashed. That means anything you spent, you get back. Another bug is the text and numbers sometimes turn to gibberish.<br />
<br />
If this app did not have pop up ads and fixed the glitches/bugs, I would easily give it a 4 star rating. The story and art is cute and the game play is fun. A tip for people playing: Use as much money as possible before you go to places on the Play tab. This way if you do lose money, it wont hurt as much. Also taping the screen while on location during Play, as your character walks across the screen, makes him jump. This doesn't do anything for you but it is fun.<br />

<div>
This is a fun card game for people who have a little time to waste on something. Each set only takes a couple minutes to play. The game is in Japanese, but you won't really need to be able to read it to play. I will add basic translations here for anything important.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>

"スピードトランプカードゲーム" basically means a "speed game for playing cards". That pretty much explains everything about the game of Speed. If you've never played this card game before, the rules are simple. it is a two or more player card game where the goal is to use up all your cards while the other player/s still has cards left in their hand. There are no turns, people place cards immediately once they are playable. You have to be fast to play your cards first, thus the name of the game being Speed. For more basic rules on how to play this card game you can read the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_(card_game)" target="_blank">Wikipedia article here</a>.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are playing the game against a female teenage anime character. She isn't really interactive and basically serves as a background. She does have slight expression changes and bobs her head around a bit. Win or lose, you don't get any real benefits here. There is nothing to unlock or characters to switch to.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You do gain levels, the more wins you have under your belt and the app does keep trap of how many times you've lost. That being said, your opponent is not particularly fast so winning is fairly easy. The game is won as best two out of three.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

There is a <b>Settings</b> function that allows you to lower or raise the sound or music as well. There is also a <b>Share</b> button that will take a screen shot of the game and upload it to the place of your choosing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Question Mark button is a basic "How to Play" explanation for people who have never played Rush. Again, if you have never played the card game and need this in English, please refer to the Wiki link I supplied above.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The only other thing is once in a while you will get a pop up that is in Japanese. this is just asking if you wish to review the app. You can see this to the left. It basically says: "Thank you! If you enjoyed this game, please review it." The buttons at the bottom are Do Not, Do it Later and Do It, in that order from left to right.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is cute but a bit too basic for any real praise. Being a single player game with a slow NPC just feels a bit like playing Solitaire, but... faster. I wish there were things you could unlock like other characters, outfits, graphics, etc. The ad position at the top is also a bit inconvenient as it completely covers your level number, which is frustrating. It's still fun to play but it is a bit lacklustre. I'm giving it a bit of a low rating just because I feel it doesn't have enough to it.</div>

This is the male counterpart to the original <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/live-portrait-maker/id1371293610" target="_blank">Live Portrait Maker</a> app that specialises in female faces. Both apps work exactly the same and only include different features and accessories, based on the gender. So though this review is on the male version, I have played with both versions and the rating and views of features hold true to both.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmwVYHgbcGnEuDn8EvKNVUQYFR7FrmCfJjavOFSfeT3XF5TMk6LpYJb1wsxaEJ3-zFsgtIYKt6BhtvDgZAJ15dLPjjwOZDEo-8gaaqI_1yMH3MOeP-B9pkGF4gF5j2-rnq_JI33WQKTX8/s1600/IMG_1733%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmwVYHgbcGnEuDn8EvKNVUQYFR7FrmCfJjavOFSfeT3XF5TMk6LpYJb1wsxaEJ3-zFsgtIYKt6BhtvDgZAJ15dLPjjwOZDEo-8gaaqI_1yMH3MOeP-B9pkGF4gF5j2-rnq_JI33WQKTX8/s400/IMG_1733%255B1%255D.PNG" width="183" /></a><br />
The game usage is fairly basic and it is essentially used for creating avatars or characters for role playing purposes. Double tap the character to open the customisation screen, from there click through the options (Hair, Brow, Node, etc). You will see the available options for that category appear like in the screen shot to the right. This screen shot shows the nose choices. You will then get a few basic customising options for the one you choose, such as colour, size and position on the face. The nose options give you a way to increase or decrease the size and one that makes it higher or lower on the face. When you are happy with the selection tap the green tick mark and it takes you back to the avatar with the change you made. Just double tap again to return to the menu to change another feature.<br />
<br />
Once you have finished creating your character you can save the image by either screen capturing or clicking the camera icon at the top of the menu that appears when you double tap. You can save as a GIF file or a photo file.<br />
<br />
You can also save avatars you have made (Clicking the diskette icon from the menu) within the app itself by assigning a name and notes to them. You can then pull these characters back up later if you want to say, change the outfit or hair. This can come in handy if they are a role playing character you have created.<br />
<br />
Also at the top of the menu is a circle made of two arrows. This creates a random avatar. Do not click this mid customising unless you wish to start all over.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha3hgydHS1h3b9LObYPAWOewNilnI7PkZoEI2j3b4TWVVthD649G8AUe8v1axi9jJy9RiY_qIfyd47dXC9UWe-D2L_XEXm3YOdhnQeUZgc3i52nTdXC2Ce_S0bP4L_vL9NzIoq0L3B3ac/s1600/IMG_1732%255B1%255D.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="740" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha3hgydHS1h3b9LObYPAWOewNilnI7PkZoEI2j3b4TWVVthD649G8AUe8v1axi9jJy9RiY_qIfyd47dXC9UWe-D2L_XEXm3YOdhnQeUZgc3i52nTdXC2Ce_S0bP4L_vL9NzIoq0L3B3ac/s400/IMG_1732%255B1%255D.PNG" width="183" /></a> If you are having trouble with the app the question mark icon takes you to the help/about and options menu. There are no in game sounds so the options are just whether or not you want motion (The character looks up and down & side to side when you tap a direction) or not, and the language choice for the menus).<br />
<br />
The app is very basic which is both good and bad. It is easy to use but the variety is limited. I could definitely see more hair and wardrobe options being wanted by users. The customising menu display is a little off putting with it just showing part of an image overlaying the avatar. This is especially awkward in customise menus such as Eyes (Where some of the images are just smudges), Lips (Where some images meant to be lip shine just looks like a weird pixel mess) and Effects. The menus could absolutely use an improvement as for as visuals go. It is often unclear what something is until you tap it.<br />
<br />
That being said, the ads in this free app stay at the bottom and are non-intrusive. The art itself is visually beautiful and the app does what it is intended to do, which is always a plus. So though it has its limitations and imperfections, it is still a good app.<br />
<br />
Below you can see a video for the female version of this app from the artist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/zephybite" target="_blank">Angela He/zephyo</a>'s YouTube channel. They also have some really great art videos there to check out.<br />
