I bought this for my granddaughter, she picked it herself, she was so excited and happy when she saw it. I am so happy to see her so excited. This was an awesome idea and a great gift for anyone.

When I saw a review of this appearing on YouTube randomly one day, it brought me back to my childhood when I used to play with virtual pets as a kid, except you couldn't touch the screen at the time. This takes it up a notch. It's a very cute toy that lets you take care up to 15 pets but I do kinda wish it'd take you time to level them up because when I first started playing with this it took less than 30 minutes-1 hour to get everyone leveled up. I haven't gotten bored of taking care of my pets though yet but do wish it wasn't too easy to level them all up.

I do like the technology that it uses too. It looks like a hologram but you can touch it from the top unlike other virtual pets I used to own when I was a kid in the 2000s. I understand that it does flicker and the motor can be a little annoying at first but I gotten used to it and understand it's not the technology's fault.

I'm not sensitive to flashing lights which isn't too bad but I'd be careful if you do buy this toy if you're sensitive to flashing lights or just avoid it for safety reasons.

I think all the animals are very adorable and love the mercat the most. I just don't understand why in the instruction list it gives you a rarity scale for each pet when in reality, it's easy to get them all. I originally thought it meant you might not get every pet in the checklist but found out that those are the 15 pets you can get and it's pretty easy to get them too. Doesn't bother me much but why does it need a rarity scale when it's easy to get all the rares and legendaries over time? Plus some of the animals do make the same sounds as some other pets but it doesn't bother me much.

Games are pretty easy to do. Simple but fun to play with. Sometimes the shaking won't recognize and you have to be quick enough but overtime I got it.

Battery life is supposed to be up to 5 hours or so but battery life is still pretty great after playing for two days along with taking breaks over time. I would definitely recommend taking breaks often from the flashing lights and to also save battery life.

Touching the screen and the touch bar is pretty easy to use. Just be gentle to it and don't mess with the screen. Don't poke the front of it, pinch the top, etc. Just a light tap on the top.

As for starting your Bitzee, I do like the dog so much but I wish for each pod you buy or if you decide to restart your Bitzee, it'd give you a different pet instead the same animal. Not a huge deal but it'd have been cool if I gotten someone different first than a dog for each new Bitzee pod

For future releases if this becomes popular enough, I'd love to see more pets in a series two pod or maybe if they decide to make new Bitzees from licenced stuff like Pokemon or Disney. I'd love to see that happen. I'd also love to see like more fantasy pets like dragons or sea monsters. I'd love to see this become popular especially for the holiday season this year since alot of people are saying this will become the hottest toy of the season which I do believe that.

Overall I love this toy so much. Very much reminds me of my childhood owning toys that lets you take care of a animal or like a tomgatchi, but this time you can touch it. I know this is marketed towards kids obviously but I think adults will enjoy this too I feel like especially those who love to fidget with things and distract themselves like I do. I'm wheelchair bound and love to fidget with things. I'd consider this a fidget toy but kids do need to be careful with playing with the screen or not dropping it. Hopefully overtime the flexible screen won't be damaged overtime or the motor because I did read concerns about it but I think it'll be fine if you're careful with it. I'd love to see more series of Bitzees in the future ☺ï¸

Thank you for reading

Got this for my granddaughters for Christmas! They loved it! It was pretty cute! Touching a Hologram makes it purr! If it is a cat"¦ it reacts to petting"¦you get different pets after you interact with the one you have. Very cute!

Bought this for my granddaughter and she loved it. Easy to use and she is 5. Was fun to play. We all loved it

Daughter loves this toy. The best part is once you "catch" all 15 animals, you can reset it and start again. Very fun for 10 year old girls.
