Used to be great but after an update a while back the game has horrible network lag regardless of overall network quality and performance on other apps. Really wish the devs would fix the performance bug as it's clearly in the game and now by many others. Pretty sure it's also an Android only issue as I don't see it in iPhone versions on the same network

For some reason I am not able to receive anymore postcard from flower blooming or expeditions even though I always keep my postcards number under 380. Is this a bug that can be fixed? There was onetime that I accidentally clicked "stop receiving" when the postcard got full during trip. Q2: where can I change the settings back to receiving again? Not be able to receive more postcard kills a lot of fun for the game. Please kindly advise. Thank you.

It's a fun cooperative walking game that really helped to motivate me to get out of the house and walk. It is a bit of a data hog and tends to make my phone (Pixel 5a) overheat if I'm on it a lot, so if you don't have unlimited data, best keep an eye on that. The only major downside is that the planting only really works if you are actively moving around. So if you're using a treadmill, you're not going to plant many flowers - although it will track your steps at least.

I wish I could say that I love this app but it is honestly kind of bad now. It used to be good, it worked fine just two days ago but as of today this game lags so badly and it straight up crashes before when I dare go into the challenges menu. This makes it impossible to collect rewards from the current ongoing event, please fix this before the event's end or if not compensate.

The app is pretty good, easy to use, and runs smooth most of the time. The only issue I have is the whole thing is entirely walking based. You can get small rewards through the mushrooms but other than walking they are the only other thing you have to do, so it loses its luster very quick.

I love Pikmin Bloom. This game encourages you to be active and walk around. Its heavily automated gameplay features make it simple to play and encourage only checking the phone every once and a while as opposed to Pokémon GO, whose gameplay emphasizes keeping your eyes glued to the phone. This game employs a delicate balance of simplicity and fun. I'd like more core gameplay features, but I acknowledge that an overabundance of options might make the game lose its simplicity and ease of access.

Unless you live in a major city, you will find yourself struggling. This game is heavily biased towards major cities and does not scale down to less populated areas. As a result, I often find myself going solo with challenges that I have absolutely no hope of achieving or even getting to the first level. If you live in a less populated area, just fight the FOMO and use this more as a cute little pedometer unless Niantic starts scaling down for rural/suburban areas.

So many bugs showing up for me. Very frustrating. The help center is of no help so don't even think you'll get help with any issue you may have. I also can't add friends yet strangers send me friends requests???? So I know there is a way. It should be easier to navigate. But still like I said before you won't get help so this and help center are a waste of time. Adding to my review from before nothing has changed. It takes up tons of space and battery. Uninstalling sadly.

The app has really gone downhill. Takes forever to load, no way to skip all the cutscenes of destroying mushrooms, rewards won't let me collect them without restarting app. At the very least give me a way to activate flower planting without having to wait for everything to load and all the reports popping up. Sometimes I don't have time to watch all that.

Very cute game, but buggy - there are so many times where things like the Join button and feeding Pikmin just stop working and I have to close the app. Pikmin planting flowers in the background is inconsistent - sometimes it works but other times it doesnt register correctly. Loading times when you open to the main screen take forever. You can't do anything until it finishes loading, which can be frustrating since it has to load every time you do anything.

This app is near and dear to my heart. I have been playing as a way to keep track of my post op recovery and stay connected to long distance loved ones. I appreciate how much of the game is walking driven. It is not the most intuitive app, and directions online are scarce. I hope the creators will continue adding new features to the game. Anything further connecting the user with friends is a plus!

This game is pretty fun and does motivate me to go outside often to compete missions. Which I am thankful for. However, it could either be my phone or the app, it does lag my phone a lot usually offline stuff. Other than that, I would like a feature to be able to have a status to communicate with other players, especially since I participate in weekly challenges to be able to tell the other players that I have more time to walk on weekend rather than weekday so they don't think I'm slacking.

I enjoy the game. I do wish there were more to it, leveling up and unique battles, more reward for longer distances, teams, short chats, involving more for the people who can't walk distances but are trying to be more active. There is so much you could do with this .... but... I still play it so far however, I don't know how long it will last. It's good though worth the try.

I wish this game had a way to tell my friends on the app I don't have any more mushroom tickets available! Also, a widget for my home screen for my Android that allows me to plant flowers easier! It's so hard to get coins! You need coins to finish the challenges where you don't have enough of one flower. This would make this game so much more enjoyable, but overall, I enjoy the nostalgia of this game.

This game used to be really fun and amazing. However, they have slowly but surely been making it more about paying to win. have to pay money in order to get past a certain point. Once you get to that paywall, the game becomes a slog. you can play it without money, but it takes a very long time to make any type of advancement. I feel really discouraged because this is one of my favorite game franchises. Update: It is still pay to play and they keep adding rather bad decor Pikmin.

Very fun and accurate step counting, definitely does what it says it does. My only complaints are that it pushes micro transactions, and is really laggy and glitchy. It has crashed several times, takes forever to load even on strong wifi, and regularly fails to load in entire screens. The most frustrating one is when the whole screen becomes unable to respond to touch and the only way to fix any of these is to close and reopen the app. Its not my storage, I've got plenty left.

Update: Deducting a star now that I'm aware of many glitches. The most frustrating is if you collect your weekly challenge rewards for the previous week after reset, it uses up your play for the new week. 😩 Which is very annoying when you only get one try per week!! So now I don't even get to participate... Original: Cute so far! It does often say I'm walking too fast though, even though I'm honestly pretty slow. Also, please make it so we can give our Pikmin head pats. They deserve head pats.

My Pikmin glitch all the time now. After expeditions, there are always one or two that eat nectar and stay leaves, so I have to restart the app to get them to go away. The touch controls for picking flowers and picking up individual Pikmin are unresponsive. Even selecting postcards and Pikmin has become unresponsive. The UI says I touched an item but it doesn't get selected. Just overall a bad experience lately.

The game is very fun overall, but is missing a few small quality of life things that would otherwise make it a 5 star game. Main ones being the inability to skip cutscenes (you can speed them up but when you have three to five back to back it gets more than a little annoying), and the system for events where you get a "currency" for walking I feel like makes it so I can't get seedlings from the event roulette anymore. Otherwise, a fun time that encourages me to walk more!

Great app. But even though much hasn't changed to the app on a graphical level, it has been getting more glitchy as time has moved on. Also, it now turns my wi-fi on automatically, even after I switch wifi off.....why would I want my wi-fi on when I'm out walking/planting flowers. The app is a big battery drain already, needing my wi-fi when I'm not home just drains it more. Why would the app needy wifi anyways. It's an "out and about" app, not a "stay home to use the wifi" app.
