Looking for retro fun, but this wasnt it

I confess that I had one of the original toys, and although most of my pets had a short lifespan due to my poor parenting skills, it was great fun!

This app doesnt capture the engaging, interactive spirit of the original, and the alternate "modernized" format included with the app is even less intriguing.

The character has no charm, and I quickly realized that I didnt care whether it lived or evolved. This may be because it is unbelievably demanding; unless you have your iPad open and youre staring at it constantly, youre likely to miss an alert and boom, dead Tamagotchi.

People who arent familiar with the original are also likely to be mystified by the controls, since the app lacks a meaningful tutorial and there is very little help offered to the player.

Maybe the experience would be different on the Apple Watch. However, I deleted this within two days and have no intention of reinstalling.
