nomi | a pet for your watch 4+

So I made a conscious effort to feed my nomi 5 times a day to get to the 5 daily feed evolution. As far as I was aware I was well ahead of my target. Every day I checked to make sure the average was showing 5 feeds a day and I was mentally tracking the number of feeds and seemed ahead. And on day 4 it said average 5 (I was probably over the goal each day too).

But on day 5 it evolves into a 4 feed evolution and is now showing an average of 4?

Evolution progress needs to be made more clear/obvious which evolution you are on track for - perhaps show a silhouette or put a line around the evolution path you are heading towards?

This 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.

I paid for the app on my phone because the app wouldn’t process on my watch. I then went to purchased in my account to download to my watch and it just sits there buffering 😔 my watch is up to date. Only giving 1 star because I can’t use it but I know I would give 5 stars if I could!! Any feed can would be appreciated!!
Update: after giving an initial 1 star, I can now say it’s finally working on my watch but still quite glitchy - it’s stopping and starting during my workouts but after my first Nomi died, I seem to be managing to keep my second one alive.., time will tell. Bug fixes would be great… 👍🏻
