Beautiful graphics and animations, yes. Free - is a joke. It is like giving a kid a tootsie roll and not taking the wrapper off. You are limited in everything you do. Your hands are completely tied. And it is al computer generated pets, so what are they charging people for? There are some convenience features... great... charge for that upgrade, but the rest of it should be enjoyed at no cost to the user. It actually is clever and sad to create that desire in children especially. Good marketing that preys on people using our love of pets. Bad in that the forums have to be closed to protect children from the nonsense the older teens are putting on there, Stay away is right!
