Nomi | a pet for your watch for Negative User Reviews
✓ Unfortunately not working properlyAdorable and I want to love it so badly but it won’t count my steps and I have no idea why :(.Version: 1.2
✓ Unable to add friends on list anymoreMyself and a few relatives have been using nomi since the end of December. Unfortunately, since around a week ago we can no longer add/see friends on the friends list on the app. Up until around a week ago, we had each other's nomi's on our friends list and we dont know what's changed. This has made the app a lot less enjoyable....Version: 1.13
✓ Don’t get this if you work nightsI’m a nurse who works nights and apparently little Nomi sleeps throughout the night (lucky little thing) but you can’t save up your hearts from all your steps at night and give them at a later time, or feed them right away (no night time feedings for the baby I guess?) so RIP this app basically doesn’t work for me and is quite frustrating..Version: 1.13
✓ Becomes almost impossible to keep aliveDeleted the app on day 95 - was trying to get to the 100th day evolution but I ran out of food & energy. It becomes almost impossible to get enough energy to keep them fed all day once they get to higher evolutions - I wore my watch from before this thing would wake up to well past midnight & couldn’t get enough energy to keep them fed & I’m a very active person, including walking to/from work everyday. Work out feature bugs consistently, it has a problem maintaining read on your heart rate & more times than not I will not get a single heart from an hour of being on the stairclimber with my heart rate well above 130. So sad - RIP.Version: 1.13
✓ Not good and no improvementsI read older reviews and seems like there was no improvement in the app. It does too fast. Doesn’t last even 24h, so even if you walk once a day, which is my goal, it would die. There’s no option to skip a day or something in case you absolutely can’t go out for a walk. Other functionalities for playing with it are very limited.Version: 1.13
✓ A fun little watch buddy but…Overall a fun app, but needs some further capabilities to make it more user friendly. Would be great to be able to adjust sleep times and increase to 8 hours rather than 6. The step count also seems to be wildly inaccurate. Finally, the games are…meh! While I appreciate that Nomi is designed to motivate movement, some days you just can’t meet the goals because of reasons lol!.Version: 1.13
✓ Update neededI have been on a 4 mile run this morning and only received 1 heart. I don’t like the fact that if I wanted to collect the hearts I would have had to stop my run each time the heart filled up. Should keep some in reserve for the day and reset at night. Not happy..Version: 1.12
✓ Waste of money!Don’t waste your money. Get Step Dog or something else instead. This dies way too easily, first of all. Even if the easy or casual mode, it’s just not realistic! But also, after a day or two it stops notifying you to feed it so you just naturally forget sometimes. Then you have to start all over. And it looks like there are a few different types of Nomi to hatch but I keep getting the same one! I have no idea what it morphs into though I can’t keep it alive more than 10 days or so. And the mini games don’t work! Or at least not while you’re using an Apple Watch workout? Which there’s absolutely no way I’ll not track a run over playing a dumb Nomi mini game lol. Just skip this one, even though it’s pod the dev isn’t making it better..Version: 1.13
✓ Paid for the app and can’t download after buying new watchI have contacted the company three times to give them the chance to fix this issue, but have not heard back. I followed all the steps to try to fix the issue, but the App Store says it’s purchased and won’t let me re-download it..Version: 1.13
✓ NomiThis is a cute way to encourage movement. I would be great if you could allow the app to be accessible from iPhone to make it easier to add friends etc. Few more games would be fun too especially for those who have full time office jobs..Version: 1.13
✓ Really enjoying nomi so far butI wish we could either bank steps we’ve taken between having filled the heart and feeding nomi or have an option to auto feed once filled. Please add an ability to see how many times we’ve fed our nomis each day 🙏🏻 Also more interactivity, a mini game or two that don’t necessarily count towards anything but allow us to just interact with this little thing we’re trying to keep alive..Version: 1.13
✓ Where did the ladder go?I am more interested in bettering myself than competing against others. My first nomi made it to 76 days and since then my next 12 nomis have not been able to beat this. I loved that I could see my past nomis on the ladder and see where my current one sat. But recently the ladder disappeared. Can we not bring back this feature so I can use my nomi the way I choose?.Version: 1.13
✓ HorribleNot good if you’re an office worker and can’t be active most time of the day. The thing dies before I can even care for it, easier to take care of a real pet than this virtual one..Version: 1.13
✓ Super cuteI love that this app gets me moving. It’s fun to watch the nomi grow. I do have a couple of things that I think would make it better. I don’t like that I need to stand still and feed nomi and wait for the step counter to start counting again. I also don’t think the count is as accurate as it should be. The only other thing I would suggest is a sick option so your nomi doesn’t die if you get a cold and don’t feel like getting out of bed. Can you fix the glitch that doesn’t accurately reflect your steps? I don’t want my nomi to die again because it hasn’t kept up with my steps..Version: 1.13
✓ Nomi keeps dying if watch battery diesUpdate; made it to 33 days, had full health and had to connect my watch to my new iPhone after it had a software issue and needed replaced. Didn’t even do anything to the watch besides pair it to the new phone and it made it completely restart my nomi. Like restart like it was a new app. My watch wasn’t even restarted or reset, it was just paired to my new phone. My nomi had 3 stars when I went to bed last night, woke up this morning to my watch dead, charged it an hour only to find my nomi dead. This is the 8th time this has happened. If my nomi is full health, my watch dies and it takes less than 5 hours to be back on, like it dies at work or while running errands, then nomi dies also. They should stop the hearts fading and nomi dying if the watch is turned off or dead. I’ve never made it past 23 days because my watch dies and nomi dies soon after. Only reason he’s ever died is because my watch died so I plug it in while I’m sleeping. Watch isn’t even powered on when he dies..Version: 1.13
✓ GarbageI bought this app, downloaded it directly on my watch and it’s not there at all. Went to the App Store again clicked on it again and it wanted me to pay for it again when it should have said I already purchased it once. Thankfully it was only $2.79 so not much of a loss but will never buy anything from Andrew chin again.Version: 1.13
✓ Great!.. for a whileThis app is an awesome idea! The nostalgia levels are great, it’s easy to use, it’s fun and it’s cute! It also progresses nicely, encouraging you to do a few more steps to fill a heart or play a game to earn a sushi which is achievable.. until day 40 when all of a sudden it becomes impossible to earn even a small sushi. I’m a fairly active person, I work in a gym and do workouts nearly every day but for those important and necessary rest days, you do need to have banked some sushi’s to get Nomi through the day. The 3000 steps per heart at day 40 is in line with the progression, however at day 40 all of a sudden the “Quick Boogie” becomes impossibly hard compared to the previous evolution. It gives you 10mins to fill the energy bar by keeping your heart rate above 130bpm, my rate was 160+ for 10mins and I barely filled the bar a third of the way in that time. Even a 5kM run @ 5min/kM wasn’t enough to fill the bar which I find a little far out. It sounds dramatic, but unless you’re a pro athlete and training is your life, it doesn’t seem like past Day 40 will be possible to maintain which kills the vibe and desire to keep playing Nomi. It was fun as a once off, but knowing I probably won’t be able to ever maintain Nomi past Day 42 and see the other evolutions is a deal breaker unfortunately. There’s no reason to keep replaying the same evolutions over and over..Version: 1.13
✓ Cute but very simpleI kept my little guy alive for 24 days before he died. It was definitely a good motivator for me, making me walk and exercise more! I liked seeing each stage of his evolution. However, the app is too simple to keep my interest. You can feed him hearts, or do a quick workout to earn sushi. That is all… It'd be a lot more fun if you could throw him a ball, change the backdrop, give him accessories like a hat etc… It’s a good start but I think the app needs expanding more. Still worth a download if you’re thinking about it..Version: 1.13
✓ Nomi, No, go! It’s a No,No!I thought that this would be a cute version of the Tomagotchi from back in the day, but I was wrong! It’s so easy to lose hearts! It’s boring and a waste of money! It really needs an app for the iPhone too, even though I know you developed this manly for the iwatch. Actually, this game is kind of fraudulent. You came up with games and a sleep time to help us get more hearts, but they don’t even work! I’ve had hearts and they just suddenly disappeared just like that! Plus it’s impossible to even get some suns! They too disappear! And the step calculator!! Completely inaccurate! You can do 500 steps and it says none, or under 100! Come on! Get the app/program fixed, or give people their money back! Your stupid step counter doesn’t work, nor does the game to get new and more hearts! This is fraud!.Version: 1.8
✓ Cool but could use some workI actually liked this app but recently pet got to around 63 days and it seemed the hearts just went so fast. I was on my way to work and had one full heart which was ok cause I almost had my ring filled up. Check him 30 minutes later to give him a heart and he is dead!!!! I was so mad, I really worked hard to keep him going and for that to happen. Not sure if it was a glitch or what. Wish you could save up hearts or revive your pet somehow..Version: 1.13
✓ It’s making me buy this twice.Once on my phone and then once on my watch..........Version: 1.12
✓ Great concept but…I really enjoy the app, but can you please add something to the app to accommodate disabilities? I am trying hard to keep my Nomi alive but it is hard doing so with normal parameters. For me, going for a 20 min walk is exhausting, yet it is not enough to keep Nomi alive. I like having the motivation to move, but can’t keep up with it. Also, please make Nomi not consume energy while you are sleeping or on charge. Thank you.Version: 1.13
✓ Not worth itCute concept and initially fun to have on my watch, decent motivator to move more in the beginning. The “pet” aspect of it quickly becomes frustrating since there is no way to adjust your schedule or pause it if you aren’t wearing your watch etc (sick day? expect your months old pet to die) App seems abandoned now too so buggy with exercise registering as well. Two of us in the house bought it, both feel the same and are deleting. Save your money..Version: 1.13
✓ More features pleaseI am on day five which means I just got my first evolution! One thing off the bat I’m not a fan of is that I have NO idea what any of the evolution paths look like so I had to guess which path I wanted to go down. Can there please be an image released of what they all look like so I can figure out if I want to feed my nomi 3,4, or 5 times a day. Also, the app is cool, but it’s a $2 app and there isn’t enough to do, in my opinion. I cannot customize how my nomi looks, I cannot play any games with him (games are basically just exercise challenges to get hearts to feed your nomi, you don’t actually play WITH your nomi. It leads me to ask, why do I care about this creature or calling it mine if I can’t even do anything with it?.Version: 1.13
✓ Will give five stars once issue fixedHi there! I’ve emailed support but haven’t heard back yet. I bought this app on the weekend for myself and loved it so much that I bought it again for my son for his Apple Watch. The money has been taken from my account for both purchases but my son cannot download it. He’s also tried buying it himself on the watch App Store but it’s not working. Please help! This is such a fab app and I can’t wait to see what my little dude evolves to on day 5! I’m on day 2 now. Highly recommend this great game though! Will update my rating once our issue has been resolved.Version: 1.13
✓ DisappointedStarted off really liking the app. Motivated me to move more. However, I quickly became frustrated that my ‘pet’ would die each time my battery died or if I put my watch on charge. Frustrating having to keep hatching a new one because my watch is charging..Version: 1.13
✓ Terrible App, Disappears When Watch Updates iOSI was at 34 days and my watch did the latest update while I was asleep. Nomi is nowhere to be found now, it cannot be redownloaded from the App Store as it is greyed out as Purchased, it is not actually listed under my App Store account under Purchased for either On This iPhone or Not On This iPhone, and it cannot be found anywhere on my watch or in its settings both on the watch and the iPhone. I did all of that work for nothing, do not even entertain this app, it’s a waste of time and there is no way to get it back once your watch updates..Version: 1.13
✓ It is just okInstructions very unclear. No idea why there are food and waving thought bubbles. The sleep mode for only 6 hrs is also annoying. If in workout mode then no activity is counted towards filling a heart. Very confusing indeed.Version: 1.13
✓ Great idea, poor executionI really like the concept and I was very excited to download this app. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked very well in my experience. The games frequently freeze. The quick boogie fails to start about 20% of the time and the 3 heart game has failed to load every single time I’ve tried. I literally haven’t been able to make it work once. They claim you can add nomi to your watch face but it doesn’t show up in the list of available complications to add. The BIGGEST frustration for me is the poor notification system. I have NEVER received a notification to tell me my heart is full and I VERY FREQUENTLY don’t get notifications when my heart runs out which is even worse. I was at 3 full hearts yesterday and my nomi just died and I got zero notifications at all along the way. Like seriously, what the heck?!?! I worked hard to get my nomi to that point so I’m genuinely mad to have lost all that work due to poor programming. I don’t think I’ll be making another nomi unless they fix the notification system. The rest of my complaints are pretty manageable but the poor notification system makes this game unbearable for me..Version: 1.13
✓ DisappointingGood idea in theory but the games disrupts Apple Health logging with its own log. Would prefer that it just did it’s own thing in the background and grabbed the steps from Apple Health as I want to be able to log my walks and runs correctly and categorise them properly. Not sure if I am going to keep it on my watch. Good if you are not overly serious about logging your exercise into categories however..Version: 1.13
✓ DisappointedI had such high hopes for this following an Apple Watch group I’m in! But sadly the games do not work on series 2 watch so can’t boost if need to especially if your watch needs charging frequently. Additionally it seems as though it takes a lot of battery to play! Such a shame.Version: 1.13
✓ Just one flawI had a surgery today and obviously could wear my watch, my little dude died 😭😭😭.Version: 1.13
✓ Another WatchCan this be added to 2 Apple Watches. I’ve got it on my old series 3. But want it on my series 8 ?.Version: 1.13
✓ Can’t downloadBrought the app. Can’t download the app. If just says purchased. Both on phone and watch. Is it in my purchased. no. Has the money left my bank. Yes.Version: 1.13
✓ 50:50On day 8. So far I like it. It’s cute, I named mine lil mochi nomnom. I just wish it was more like the classic nano or tamagotchi, you literally can’t do anything with it. Just tap the heart once it’s full to feed it 5 or so times a day and wait 5 days to see it change. That’s it. Also seriously need to be able to set the bedtime and wake up time yourself, sometimes I go to bed at 9pm, sometimes 1am. Sometimes get up at 6, sometimes 8. It’s annoying that it’s strictly set for midnight-6. It’s just kinda lacking in my view but still cute so whatever lol I’ll keep it 🤷🏻♀️.Version: 1.13
✓ No ongoing support, no updatesRecently my friends were randomly deleted with no way of re-adding them and there are no current updates to this app. My partner had a new Apple Watch and sent a support email asking how or if he could transfer his Nomi to the new watch. No reply even in weeks and it eventually died. There have been no new features in the YEARS that I have had this app and I honestly would NOT recommend using your hard earned cash and downloading it..Version: 1.13
✓ All cannot be foundI paid 7.00 and can’t find the app anywhere. What a rip off! Do not download. It’s a scam!.Version: 1.13
✓ Good but could be betterThis is a nifty little app that’s a very basic tamagotchi like creature with fitness aspects to keep it alive. I’m still on my first creature and it’s nice watching it grow and evolve though there are areas that could be better. I’d love more functionality with the pet other than just feeding and tapping to basically give it a pat. Also the steps update very slow. Today I was on 2902/3000 steps for about 600-700 meters of walking, thus wasting steps because it took too long to update. A possible fix for this if it’s not possible to update in real time would be to allow you to bank up 2 foods/hearts. That would allow you to keep walking and not waste steps once a heart should be full..Version: 1.8
✓ I love it but it needs some workI absolutely love Nomi, but it could use some more features for flexibility. I have chronic illness that makes my “best” less than other peoples’ “best”. Even on casual, it’s been really hard to keep my Nomi alive. I think the solution to this is allowing people to set custom energy/step goals. Of course it would allow people to “cheat,” but who cares? It’s not a competition sport, they’d only be “cheating” themselves. A tool for our own betterment needs to be flexible to our personal goals. No one can set a goal that everyone can meet. Other changes that would help are giving Nomi more total hearts to allow some buffer time if we forget our watches somewhere (I left my watch at work overnight and my Nomi was dead the next morning despite being fully fed, I was very upset because I managed to keep that little guy alive for 74 days despite the difficulty!) or if we’re sick that day and can’t exercise much. To that end, I agree with other commenters that a “pause”. Feature would be nice. I also really think increasing the sleep time from 6 hours to 8 would help. I mean, who only sleeps 6 hours? I sleep 10 hours and my Nomi is always nearly dead by the time I get up. The average person sleeps 8 hours so I think it makes more sense. Or allow us to set custom sleep and wake times. Again, love the concept and the artwork is really cute, but it really needs these changes to become more functional and less of a source of stress..Version: 1.13
✓ Sleep timeI need Nomi to sleep longer! Recommended time of sleep is 8hours. I do exercise, work and eat healthy. That has me sleep 8 hours! That would be so sad to have Nomi die because I am sleeping. Please, may you allow linger sleep time ! Thank you !.Version: 1.13
✓ Can’t download.Stupid.Version: 1.13
✓ Very motivatingI love this app!!! It’s very motivating yet disappointing at the same time, motivating because I don’t want it to die and it’s crying face makes me feel awful so I keep up with it but I’ve had it for 28 days now and after 20 days it became this cute little monster with 4 feet then after 25 days it updated again and became the same exact thing just with a flipped ear. I wish my progress would reflect more. Negative aspects: 1.There’s a bit of a lag where it doesn’t count the same amount of steps as my step counter.. 2.Does not evolve into anything very different 3.Every time I do the extra goals to get sushi it does not count it or let me earn the sushi. 4.You cannot save hearts for later.Version: 1.13
✓ Waste of moneyWon’t even download to my watch. Super disappointed. I wish I could get a refund 😡.Version: 1.13
✓ Loved Nomi at first.I have this issue where my Nomi Quick Game will immediately stop when I have almost finished meeting the bar goal. I have contacted the developers multiple times with no answer. I imagine putting in almost 10-13 minutes of high intensity, only for the game to stop. This is extremely frustrating. I want all of the Sushi’s I missed because of this. The developers don’t respond to issues emailed to them. I don’t want a generic response. I want every single Sushi I should have earned back. If they cannot figure out how many that is, I have kept track….I am up to 5 missed sushi’s..Version: 1.13
✓ Waste of moneyNo iPhone app. Notification to track your progress or new heart is available does not work 90% of the time and life is getting destroyed... After initial setup, No way to adjust your app settings. No motivation to move more..Version: 1.7
✓ Battery DrainerI’ve had this since lunchtime today and it has completely drained my battery. I will have to remove it. How do I get a refund?.Version: 1.13
✓ Unable to connect to friendsLovely app, only con is since I’ve downloaded the app it says “friends unavailable” - without an internet connection, the friends feature won’t work properly. Please check your internet and try again. My internet connection is fine. Please can this be looked into and amended. I’ve looked at the reviews and it seems this is a common issue..Version: 1.13
✓ It’s good but could be better!It’s pretty good and does motivate me! but it would be cool if the pet had a bit more personality, like moved around the screen and some different animations..Version: 1.13
✓ Update- battery issuesUpdating my thoughts as after a few days this app is destroying the watch battery life. Please fix This app is so cute and so fun but I do wish it had a companion app for the phone it’s just easier to customize etc. speaking of customize, developer can you make the option for different backgrounds and stuff like that? It also make it easier to have mini games if there was a phone app and then then the watch app for quick interactions..Version: 1.13
✓ Shift workerLove it but I can’t change it to sleep longer when I am on shift work or pause it when am charging my watch ..Version: 1.13
✓ Fun but….Every time I start a new pet it always takes the same evolution path. I’d like to see the other two..Version: 1.13
✓ Meh. On the fence.Cute and vaguely motivational. But as a shift worker, I hate that when I am asleep during the day, the Nomi isn’t. It can’t be that hard to design it to put it to sleep during Do Not Disturb mode. Then it sleeps while I’m awake. Should be able to set how long it sleeps and when. Also, if the watch isn’t on my wrist, it should suspend..Version: 1.13
✓ TerribleThought this was going to be a fun app for me but it’s not. It’s glitching so bad every 3 days I’m loosing my friends and have to uninstall the app and it won’t show me the full Nomi ID. Do not download this. This has happened to not only me but 2 of my friends who also have this app on their watch.Version: 1.13
✓ Good Game But….Nomi is a fun game but!!! Their could be a few things that would make this to a excellent game. Evolution seems to be broken. Doesn’t matter how many times you feed him per day he still only evokes from the left tree. Made sure I fed mine 6 times a day yet I still only get the basic evolution. A holiday mode would be great so you could pause your game if going away so he won’t die. Much better notifications would be GREAT! Being able to know when you fill your heart so you can feed him. Being able to store more then one heart at a time. Tutorial or better explanations on how to play your games would be great. Other then these small things it is a good fun little game..Version: 1.13
✓ Love it😍 But…..I think 🤔 the concept is excellent and keeps people accountable for their own progress in how they manage to keep the pet alive daily. My one issue is that if I have done the work/workout throughout the day and filled up the heart(s) why can Nomi not feed himself? This is me moving all day everyday in my life with my watch on, but I really don’t have the time to tickle and watch him do tricks just to eat the heart. My day does not stop because he is hungry or has a heart waiting for me to tap for him to eat. This is something that your team needs to look into especially when life gets really hectic. I’m apart of an Apple Fitness Group & that is the General consensus with many; We are doing workouts, taking care of family, self-care, working just to have this thing Die because of the tap of the screen. 👎🏽.Version: 1.13
✓ Family sharing not workingGreat app even if there is not a lot to do with the little guy ( combat with friends or stuff like that would be great). One bad thing is that it says it work with up to 6 family member but I can’t make it to work, always ask to pay again.Version: 1.13
✓ Cute but not fit for purposeI was really looking forward to this, especially after reading so many positive reviews. The pet is so cute and gives me nostalgic tamagotchi vibes. The main purpose is to help motivate you to move and exercise but mine doesn’t count my steps at all and whenever I play a game it glitches and goes back to the main screen. Not worth purchasing - you will be disappointed..Version: 1.13
✓ Not as good as it was.The updates are out of sync with the Nomi. Number of hearts left isn’t what the app alerts you to. Alerts don’t always show. Apple Watch 5.Version: 1.12
