This app seems too good to be true but so far I have not come across one and I've has it for almost a week! There are a several cute character available for free, while other apps like to put a price tag on everything AND make you watch ads it seems. This one has some ads but so far they've been very, very short. It says you can find more characters online, but I have not tried it yet. ALSO, you can create your own custom character manually or with AI and I just cannot get over it. ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿง๐Ÿ’–

I love how cute they all are, I would definitely love to have more on my screen without having ro pay, im willing to watch as many adds as needed, but overall im so glad this thing exists

So. Yes I do like the app but i don't like the IDK obviously AI generated shimmies in the main catalog but yeah so. that's a problem luckily we can find shimmies that r human made :D

This is pretty good you can actually make your own screen buddy, and I've been trying to find something like this. It took a bit to understand how to make a buddy but in the end it's amazing ๐Ÿ‘

WHAT THE HELL HOW TO I USE THIS APP ITS SO ARGH
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Namrata ยท Jun 6, 2026
Really good app, really, really cool. It's hard to tell which animation I have to add to each of the actions, but you get used to where everything is, it's a very, very high 4 stars, and I wish there was a 4.9 star for this app edit: they made it easier and more understandable 5 stars now edit: they added AI. and a paywall.

Great game but I wish it had more slots.

I HAD TEN SLITS AND THEY TOOK THEM AWAY. I earned them fair and square when that was the system! They had, and now they've been rolled from me!
