Good game but what if more could be in it. Well imma be honest I’m a pretty big Pikmin fan and to see it be this type of game was pretty fun something I liked on mobile for new people to enjoy neat. But it didn’t feel like a Pikmin game though my first thought was well if it’s Pikmin where’s the enemy’s like Bulborbs Wolly wogs Firey Blow hogs the water wraith. (No I’m kidding screw that enemy) or like really anything I feel the absence of the enemy’s in Pikmin bloom really makes the game feel like just a walking simulator if enemy’s were added to let’s say give a break just from doing walking and actually adding some strategy with the types we got in the game it could work as like how Pokémon go does their enemy Encounters. It would be nice to have a walking game have at least some strategy to it since pikmin has always been that a strategy and somewhat time management game. But anyways insanely good game I hope enemies get added in the future.

Play it passively for the best experience!. I’m loving this game, I just found a toothbrush Pikmin as a pet of the pharmacy collection and I was absolutely in love with the design. The step counter and day logging is fantastic and I’d love to see you expand upon that experience. It be great to see the miles walked too so I could use it as a gauge for how far I’ve gone since I’ve started a walk. I do think the friends feature needs some love. It be great if you put access to friends n the front page so it be easy to find. Maybe make a Pikmin post office and it could be coupled with your postcard collection and your “Pikmin-dex”. Also, I loved stickers in Pokémon go so it be great if you could have a sticker collection system too. It be special to have a postcard and a stamp collection and then choose which special Pikmin takes it to your friends. Maybe with stickers it can be the cost to attach a berry or two as a gift. I just really want the social features to go beyond what was in Pokémon go. I think there great. Also, it crashes whenever I open the stock camera and there’s no way to mute the music.

In game purchases gotten out of hand. I really enjoy this game, however they amount of coins they want for you to buy anything helpful has gotten expensive. In game they constantly have events to plant flowers, it it’s not easy to get flowers in areas that don’t have large flowers to bloom, thus making it near impossible to participate and complete the event unless you purchase flowers from the store. Then the premium pass for events I had a misunderstanding about and instead of listening to my feedback support didn’t listen to anything I was saying and closed the conversation as I was typing. What kind of support is that? Not a very nice nor helpful one. For 999 coins when it’s advertised you would receive a colored seedling of your choosing, it shouldn’t take you the entire duration of the event to get what you paid 999 coins for. Since they closed my conversation before I could respond here’s my review. Either what you pay coins for should actually be worth it or the cost should be reduced. I refuse to spend any more money on this game due to the rise in coin prices, I remember months back flowers did not cost 300 coins to buy also

Love Pikmin Bloom! 🌱🌼. Pikmin Bloom is my favorite mobile game! I’ve been playing daily since launch in October 2021. I enjoy traveling and I adore that my little buddies are like memories of all the places I’ve been these last 2+ years. Some aspects of the game frustrate me like region locked exclusives and the heavy mushroom requirements in events that can block you from progressing as quickly as you’d like. But other than that, this game only gets better with time. It seems the developers do take into account what their users are asking for and slowly make improvements over time. One of the best additions they’ve made in the games is that we now have “bullhorns” which allows you to invite friends to help you defeat mushrooms. I have a friend who almost never leaves home so before this she couldn’t help me with mushrooms and I felt annoying asking other friends and family to go find the mushroom I’d started and join it. Now I get invitations from friends in other countries to join mushrooms and I have opportunities to obtain lovely postcards I’d otherwise never get! Adore the Pikmin franchise and this was the perfect addition! I, along with many others, hope that Ice and Glow Pikmin are in the near future of the game 🙏🧊❇️

Great "game!". Going into this, I honestly expected it to be either a glorified pedometer or another Pokemon GO ripoff, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was somewhere in the middle! It is, for all intents and purposes, "Pedometer app: Now with badges!!!1!" Meets Pokemon GO... But in a good way. It helps take focus away from the "game" itself and more on actually going for a walk. As I've heard many people say, Pokemon GO, while still getting one into the world, requires a lot of attention in order to see where the wild Pokemon or pokestops or gyms are, but Pikmin Bloob doesn't try to do anything over exciting... And it works! It's a "game" designed to get you to look away from your phone. However, you probably noticed the fact that I have continuously put game in quotes, and that's because... Well, it just doesn't really feel like a game to me. And we'll I am aware that at the time of me writing this Pikmin Bloom has only been out for around a week, I feel like there's a lot more they could have done to make it feel more like an interactive walking experience and less like a pedometer with badges.

Level 15 and Unlocked all Basic Features. I really enjoy this charming game. It’s pros are things I don’t enjoy about Niantic’s flagship Pokémon Go. Being that Pickmin have no inherent CP rating, pulling and naming Pickmin feels more rewarding, as you will never have to put any of your Pickmin in a candy blender. Additionally, there isn’t a push to play so that you don’t miss out on new content. You can tackle the quests at your own pace and interact with seedlings and Pickmin at your behest. Additionally, sending your Pickmin on fetch quests and watching them walk toward map locations in real time is quite cute. However, there is still more from the Pickmin side of things that I would like to see. One cool idea that uses previous Niantic features would be battling the series’ famous monsters. In this iteration, however, you would throw Pickmin like a Pokeball at the monster to attack. Hitting the sweet spot could mean your Pickmin takes less damage or doesn’t die. Type resistance could also be used from the main games. In reality, that is one core concept I would like to see. Eventually, I’m sure I will have the max of 300 Pickmin. I think it would really add to the game to feel a sense of responsibility for one’s Pickmin and helping them not die from monsters like the console counterparts. Just please, Niantic, whatever you do don’t give Pickmin CP.

Fun but HUGE bug. This game is super cute, but the only thing is I hardly have any incentive to play anymore because no matter what I do, my pikmin’s friendship levels WILL NOT go up. I have a purple Pikmin that I’ve taken on SEVERAL expeditions as well as some starred pikmin because I like to farm decor pikmin. It’s been a good week and NONE OF THEM have increased friendship level even a little bit. It shows the little heart above them when they come back from the expedition and I collect the item from them, but other than that, they show no signs of leveling up. It’s incredibly frustrating and makes me not really want to play the game if I can’t even get decor pikmin anymore. I’m not even having trouble with counting steps or anything, everything else in the game is working fine (other than the occasional glitch where two or more pikmin are in the EXACT same spot and clip through each other, but that’s just visually funny and doesn’t affect gameplay) but I CANNOT raise friendship levels. I’m not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but it’s incredibly frustrating since I’ve starred all the pikmin that are from places where they’ll get a non-sticker decor item. Its a fun game and doesn’t drain my battery as much as pokemon go, but this is very annoying and I don’t see the point if I cant even get decor pikmin

Pokemon Go but laid back. I picked this game up a year ago and kinda fell off for a while, but the game still kept track of all my walking progress so when I opened it, I was able to get a head start on leveling up on where I left off. This game also allows you to go at your own pace while giving a bit more of a push to get out and explore in turn for rewards. No matter what task you do, you'll always be leveling up your pikmin to fight mushrooms, and there's a plethora of seasonal/monthly events that makes sure you'll never fall too far behind. I picked this game back up during summer of 2023 at level 7 and I'm all the way at level 46 today! If you ever need a game that keeps you busy while rewarding you for your efforts, this is definitely the game for you! I wholeheartedly suggest trying it out regardless of whether you have background knowledge of Pikmin as a whole or not

Very fun but…. I was very excited to see something new, Pikmin related. I just started playing and I’m having fun with it. It’s concepts are very creative! I don’t know what it is, but for me collecting Pikmin is way more satisfying than catching a Pokémon in Pokémon Go. It’s cool to see your collection grow as you walk more. Very rewarding. Now here’s what I want added to this game. The game is pretty good at the moment, but I want a bit more variety. Sending your Pikmin on expeditions is cool, but I want more uses for them. First off, similar to the Pokéstops, maybe there could be treasures scattered around the map. Treasure collecting was one of my favorite concepts in Pikmin 2, and I would love to see that here. And maybe some of the more rare treasures require more Pikmin to carry it. That would be another great reason to boost your army. Also, I would love to see enemies on this game. On the map, there can be occasional creatures like bulborbs. And you can challenge it. You use your Pikmin to fight the bulborb, and swipe the screen to throw them like in Pokémon go. These enemies could drop some cool rewards like treasures, fruits, and Pikmin planters. This game has quite a lot of potential, and if you add some of these features to the game it would really make it a better experience!

Helping me a lot through a tough time.. This came out right as I’m going through the hardest part in my life so far, especially mentally, and to my surprise being able to use this app has been a bit helpful for that. Let alone the nice feelings of having excuses to go for walks, my favorite thing is actually the “journal” feature the game has, and it’s been very nice to have so far since I’ve been using it a bit to keep track of my progress in improving myself mentally every day, alongside the other positive parts of seeing where I’m going on this journey with my Pikmin. I would love to see this expanded upon a bit, but at the very least would appreciate some minor changes, such as being able to add more than one text post, and a fix to navigating the text being somewhat clumsy. (Doesn’t seem to support any features of the system keyboard such as autocorrect and the 3D-touch scroll). I would like to see sharing options for friends being added to that feature as well, but it for sure needs options for privacy too, especially for the kind of situation I’m in, where a lot of that info should stay private primarily but would like to share with one or two friends specifically I’m comfortable showing that too.

Made for explorers. When starting the game there is a stark lack of things to do but walk and wait to level up. Through the first new levels I honestly thought the game was still in beta or something since all I could do was watch my step counter go up. You have to be patient and wait for the fun to unlock as you gain more and more features as you progress. So far I’m level 12 and overall extremely happy with the speed of progressing being purely biased on how many steps you are willing to take. I will say if you want to collect all varieties of pikmin you will need to go to different types of stores and venture into the wilderness in hopes of getting a seed from a location with an outfit tied to it. Since I live in a city it’s extremely hard for me to find anything but roadside sticker pikmin. Overall a great game to get you outdoors exploring new places.

Absolutely Pleasant. From when I first started Pikmin Bloom, I was enraptured by its charm and personality. It has nestled its way into my daily routine. This app works so well for me and what I need. I’ve needed motivation to get out more, and I’ve been exploring my new city after moving. From constantly planting, growing, and feeding my little Pikmin friends, I look forward to the new adventure each day brings. While I have played other AR games, I find this more than any other is a pleasant motivator to go on walks and explore. While there are times I stop and interact with AR elements in the world, much more of my time is spent actually just moving. I adore the little journal entries at the end of each day. There is a spot for little notes and it compelled me to write a haiku to remember the day by. Sometimes it’s about a novel interaction from the day, and other times it’s about my admiration for my little Pik friends. This app has brought me so much joy and warmth. I can only hope that others will find the same elation I have with Pikmin Bloom.

Good game could use improvements. This is a great game as we have played all of the Pikmin games, so when we saw this we had to give it a go. It is a great step counting interactive game, fun events, and has gotten my entire family out and moving. The improvements that I would love to see is having mushrooms spawn in more rural areas. I live in the outskirts of town and no mushrooms ever spawn within a 8 mile radius of us. We have to drive into town to battle mushrooms. I can pick things up and do basic seedling and fruit expeditions but that gets a little boring. If there was an algorithm to allow mushrooms or some other enemy to spawn in heavily flowered areas (our roads and back yard are absolutely full of flowers) that would be fantastic! It would add to the game so much more to have actual enemies added as mini expeditions (like seedlings, fruit, etc) instead of mushrooms. Seeing enemies such as Wollywogs, Bulbmin, and bulborbs would deeply add to the experience. To me it seems like it is a missing element to the game to be walking around and not seeing the natural enemies as you would in the game. Something needs to be added surrounding the flower planting and drawing stuff in. This is not a deal breaker for me entirely, but a lot of missed opportunities to use peoples steps and work planting worth their efforts. I would love to see a Bulborb pop up in my “garden” for me and my family to battle.

Fix Mushroom Battle Privacy!. I’ve been loving all the updates. They’ve motivated me to walk and get out more. I don’t mind that the mushroom battles got harder. It’s just incentive to keep going and growing. However, the new mushroom battle format needs a privacy update ASAP. My Mii has always looked like me. I LIKE that it looks like me. It’s fun to play Mario Kart as a family with everyone using their own likeness. I don’t use my real name in the game but I’m seeing lots of people who do. Having someone appear at a mushroom for 9+ hours with their real name or even just their likeness is a huge privacy concern for me. I had to change my Mii on Nintendo just so my avatar wouldn’t look like me to battle a mushroom. I don’t mind working together on a mushroom but I want to be able to do so anonymously. It’s one thing for my Mii to look like me on a game server with international players or friends and family. It’s quite another thing to show up on a map with a person’s name and likeness for hours on end next to their residence, school or place of work where most of play most frequently.

This is definitely good enough. This game is awesome, I’m really addicted. It doesn’t help that I love going outside and walking in nature. Gives me more reason to do so. The only complaints I have is that it has a plethora of bugs and visual glitches. These will be fixed with time though. My other complaint though, is that the coins are too difficult to get. You have to consecutively plant 500 flowers without stopping to receive 1 coin. The cheapest thing in the shop is 50 coins (50 white flower petals). That means, that in order to afford this relatively easy item to obtain, you would need to plant 25,000 flowers, or about 60,000 steps. The coin system needs some serious balancing. Otherwise, this game is wonderful, and unlocking each color makes walking the most addicting thing ever. I’m 5 weeks in and I have about 309,000 steps in total. I’m already level 30 and I am in love with this game I do recommend, for all ages

Great but….. First thing wrong, this WILL drain your battery FAST! So, if you have plans on playing this game for long extended periods of time… have a few external batteries handy. 2- tracking is off. Not like Pokémon Go, but I like how there’s a massive map with the streets if you zoom out. I have noticed that once I hit level 7, the game started giving me the dreaded “failed to connect to server” issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game to find it is in fact, NOT MY PHONE! Luckily I saved all my data and linked to an account, but I had two groups of Pikmin out on an expedition. As expected with a new game… there are a lot of bugs, but there are also a lot of possibilities I can see with this game! Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out like Harry Potter: Wizards Unite… and shut down. Niantic, please, update the server issues and continue to add to this game as well. It’s good to have two games similar to each other. What I like about this game that I wish Pokémon Go had. The expedition feature. It’s nice to be able to send Pikmin out to a spot and wait for them to return with the goodies. Without having to hit a stop everyday to keep a streak up. But, I understand that the games are the way they are to make them separate and unique. Perhaps there’s a way to incorporate expeditions into Pokémon Go? Regardless, this game is fun and cute. Nice to pass the time, visually appealing and nostalgic!

Let’s revive Pikmin!! Major suggestions!!!. Pikmin was one of my most faveriot childhood games, and we have not seen a Pikmin game in such a long time. I believe this game could show Nintendo that Pikmin 4 needs to come out!! If you want your app to grow rapidly, let me give you some ideas. Growing Pikmin is fun, but more gimmicks are needed. How about like Pokémon gyms and stops, you have a way to battle with your Pikmin. Enemies could drop loot, and like the original Pikmin games, the bigger and badder the enemy the more expensive loot. Maybe have a trophy case with the loot, or have the loot to be sold for coins, which could upgrade your backpack or outfit. I would love to see bosses, and how in Pikmin you can build bridges with tiles, how about a habitat where you have Pikmin build bridges, and playgrounds for them to play with instead of just a screen with grass on it. How about buried treasure that requires a certain amount of one type of Pokémon to dig up the treasure. Like the blue Pikmin are required to dig up greaser stuck in a lake, or red Pikmin are required to dig up treasure in a fire. Adding more game mechanics will get people hooked to the game just like they got hooked to Pokémon go.

Adorable, fun, better than Pokemon Go IMO. I personally enjoy this more than Pokémon Go mainly because you don’t have to constantly be on the app while walking and your steps still count towards something. I’m not a hardcore Pokémon go user for a lot of reasons and one of them is the fact that you have to be staring non-stop at your phone with your head down while walking out in public to utilize the app which I don’t do for a multitude of reasons. Pikmin Bloom is cute and I find myself continuing to be motivated to get more Pikmin, fill their hearts and send them on their journeys to get their little gifts…even if 90% of them are stickers with a letter on them. It would be cool if you could trade Pikmin, if only for the sake of obtaining a decor you like/want in exchange for a decor that your friend really wants, not for the goal of maxing out CP or anything in the way that people trade in Pokémon go, I’m not a huge fan of that. The concept of planting flowers around your neighborhood and anywhere you go when you walk is so wholesome and feels more rewarding than just collecting stuff.

Enjoying the app a lot, unfortunate audio issues. This app isn’t perfect and it fits into the same niche as Pokémon go (natural considering it’s from the same devs), but I personally find it more enjoyable. It’s a much more casual experience, and I find it to be a cute at charming way to count steps. The gyms are replaced with these large flowers that everyone helps to grow, so there’s not much of a competitive aspect, but that doesn’t really seem like the point to me. Much like in Pokémon go there are certain upgrades like more space in your party or more growing slots locked behind micro transactions, but for a free phone app that I used to blow of steam in my spare time, I don’t mind (but I relatively enjoyed Pokémon go, and am a looooong time Pikmin fan, so it speaks to my personal interests). I haven’t been able to get the audio to work however, which is a big deal for me, but if/when that gets resolved, that would be my only major complaint solved. I say if you liked Pokémon go or games like that but are looking for a lighter, more relaxing alternative, it’s worth a shot at least!

Gets me up and walking. Having decent fun with this game. Level progression seems fair enough through level 30. Higher levels are harder to achieve but no complaints. A couple things I’d change are the selection process of Pikmin when switching them from your active to standby. I’d like to select more than one at a time through click-and-drag the way you can select multiple photos on iPhone. The other thing is in regards to mushroom challenges. I think a “beacon” or “call-out” to other nearby users when attacking a Large mushroom by yourself would come in handy. I can easily coordinate with other users in my household but they’re not always around to help and having four empty slots for other users to join seems like a waste. Something along the lines of a request to other users with a timer or countdown to join the challenge should be a lot of help to people in suburbs or rural areas

Way better than Pokémon Go. This game is the best in every way :) It knows exactly what kind of fan service Pikmin fans want and delivers the cute 100% with decor pikmin, special flower types, and unique little animations when you click on them. It feels so great to add more Pikmin to your squad and the challenges you have to overcome are usually not too difficult. Of all the fitness apps out there, this is the only one that has successfully encouraged me to go out of my way to go outside and explore places outside of my daily routine. The best part is Community Day, which asks you to walk 10k steps to receive a special badge. I always end up going somewhere unique and having an unforgettable time on Community Days :) I’ve been playing since November and not only are there still tons of new surprises & discoveries to be made in the app, but they are updating constantly. Just recently they added sushi and snack decor, which I’m stoked to find :D Like Pokémon Go there are also interactive events, which I unfortunately haven’t been able to participate in yet but I’m looking forward to the next one! Overall an extremely wholesome app that is beneficial to your physical AND emotional happiness :)

I’m in love with this game! A bug that’s been bugging me though…. I cannot stress how grateful I am for past me downloading Pikmin Bloom. I was at a point in my life where I was just looking for any motivation to get my legs moving, and boy did this deliver. I’ve been playing since early November and I’m so overjoyed with the improvement in my quality of life. That being said, one of my favorite features of the app is that it has a daily logbook. It motivates me to take nice pictures and fill it like a tiny scrapbook. BUT… there seems to be an issue with keeping the images. I’ll upload an image and attach a caption, but after a week (or sometimes just a few days) the image gets deleted and only the caption remains. I’ll reupload the images every now and then, but it doesn’t last super long before they get deleted again (strangely enough, the caption sticks around; it’s just the image which goes missing.) I LOVE Pikmin Bloom. I am so eager to keep growing my pikmin family and keep getting out there and exploring. I just want this little issue to be resolved so that I can look back on my daily logs and not scratch my head at wherever the images went lol. I don’t delete them from my phone, so why do they go missing after a while?

Good game!. I love pickmin bloom, I just love pickmin! Can you add creature cards? So creature cards are collectible cards that never wear out and can start a battle with a pickmin predator (If your pickmin die, you lose points, not lose the pickmin), you don’t get more pickmin, but you can get seedlings. So there’s very common, common, uncommon, rare, legendary, and mythical, 2 very common make a common, 2 commons make a uncommon, ect. Also pease make a expedition for a boss card after you get all the cards in a rarity (boss cards are just creature cards but there bosses instead of normal opponents), and the card rarity is judged by difficulty, the more points you end with, the better rewards you get. And lastly can you give the person a in-game interactive house that you can get things to decorate (the decor pickmin give you special figures, and normal pickmin give you normal figures, and every first type of pickmin give you a figure of them). Thanks for reading my (very very very) long explanation. But this is a great game! It’s one of my favorites. Bye and thanks!👋

This App Is Amazing!. I think this app is AMAZING!!! At first I downloaded this app because I thought the little plants were adorable. However after opening the app and engaging in it, I realized it was so much more. You can not only use it to encourage you self to walk around in which you can grow adorable little plants. But, you can also journal on this app. At the end of the day, it tells you how many steps you have taken and where you all walked to and planted flowers ( which everyone in your community can see your flowers that you have planted as you walk which is so cool ). It also asks you how your day was and gives you the ability to write a short paragraph about your day. In this you can add photos so you can look back and remember what you did that day. So I highly recommend this app to anyone interested in journaling or even just cute little plants that follow you around :)

Pikmin Bloom Review. This is the best mobile app I’ve played in years! Although that’s not saying much lol. Pikmin is one of my favorite video game franchises ever, so I’m always excited to see new games being made. And seeing this announced on the 20 year anniversary of Pikmin just brightened my entire day. And on top of that, this game is just genuinely amazing. Walking around planting flowers and growing Pikmin is so incredibly fun. And all the different types of decor Pikmin are awesome. Their costumes are so cute! Plus, even when I’m not out walking, I can send Pikmin on expeditions and challenges which is really useful. My only real issue with the game is the coins. It’s really difficult to get coins by planting flowers, and the only other way is to buy them, and well… I’m really not a fan of micro-transactions. However, that doesn’t change the fact that this game is absolutely amazing and I enjoy playing it so much! Amazing job Nintendo and Niantic! (Btw Nintendo if you’re reading this, please make Pikmin 4! I would be so insanely happy if that happened!)

Wonderful Start. I have been playing this game on and off again since launch. Here are the features I love : The calendar design of the UI allows a great journal system with 3 different mood attributes to pick between to document the overall feel of your day, as well as images and your progress in the game specific to each day your play on the calendar. It makes me feel motivated to record a glimpse of each day to look back on! The pikmin are very fun to interact with and the game runs so smoothly! Zooming in and feeding your pikmin it’s reminiscent to the Wii Home Screen. (Mii Plaza I believe?) Also the various expeditions you can send your pikmin on. I love the massive mushroom expeditions & the postcards they bring back showing where they came from! It’s a neat way to incorporate some Pokémon Go type collaboration into the game as well as the weekly challenges. Although there are many other various features I did quite enjoy, I felt the game still feels a bit lackluster several months after launch. I would love to see some more attention to depth in these pre-existing features and have a lot more customization options for your Mii character as well as your pikmin. I am looking forward to future updates to see how the game improves, and hopefully this game will get the same attention with its development & community as Pokémon Go one day!

Amazing game but one thing I would like added. I’ve started playing just about a month ago and I love this game I’ve played quite a bit of the actual Pikmin games on the GameCube and switch and stoked for Pikmin 4 so I’m not diving into the game headfirst but honestly, you really don’t need to know basically anything about Pikmin to play this game. The Pikmin are cute and it makes it feel like every walk is a goal to accomplish. I would highly recommend this game. Now for the one thing I would like to add. Now sometimes I forget my phone at home and I can bummed out because I was just in a parade yesterday for a maple festival and I forgot my phone. I could have easily grown some Pikmin but I didn’t have my phone. However, this problem could be fixed for the people who have Apple Watches I feel like because it can already track your steps and stuff. This would a huge game changer and would like to see it added. Other a 10/10 game. Thanks for creating a Pikmin mobile game!

Better than Pokémon go. What I love about this is that you get to unlock things the more levels you gain and the farther you get into the game you can get different kinds of pikmin even special rare ones no lag or glitch nothing is wrong with the app great step counting app we’re you can also have your pikmin beat big muchroom you can plant and bloom flowers get friends send them postcards see them in the game if you plant flowers than go back in flowers and press with others you can see them plus there are quest flower pots if you get enough steps you can pluck out a pikmin you can get extra pots and the more you progress in the game your pikmin will bring you gifts and every day you play the gifts get just a little bit better you can feed them nectar and press there flowers for that stuff I forgot what it’s called tho by the way love your game keep on adding updates and working on the game don’t give up don’t listen to people who don’t like it keep on pushing until they do! Than you for making this game its a total day changer :D download guys!

Love this game as-is! Don’t change it!!. I love this game because it encourages me to walk. (Currently Level 32 when I wrote this, so yeah, I’m walking!) I also love this game because there are no events that force you to play more than you can; you can play at your own pace. I also love that this is not a fighting game. Yes, you can send the little guys out to take out a mushroom, but that is it. PLEASE NIANTIC, keep this game this way forever!! DO NOT add events that force people to play. DO NOT add fighting and anything resembling aggression. This game does not need these things. It accomplishes what it needs to just fine— it gets me out walking, exercising, and out of the house. As with your other games (Wizards Unite, I’m looking at you), when you’re in constant event mode it burns people out. They stop playing because they are tired of events and you lose money. Consider that, please.

Mildly fun game potential to be amazing. There are three main features to this game 1 ) Collecting decor pikmin, this is the process of raising pikmin until their friendship level is maxed out and then they’ll put on a little costume based on their place of origin. For example if you find a pikmin by the train station they’ll have s train themed costume. 2 ) Mushroom raiding, there are giant mushrooms in your town that you can send your pikmin to destroy. After defeating the mushroom they will come back with various items. 3 ) Blooming buds into flowers, there are giant buds around your town, you have to walk around the bud and plant mini flowers until the bud blooms into a gigantic flower. After it blooms you are rewarded with various items. The only reason I play is to collect all the decor pikmin… I find the other two features I mentioned extremely boring, too repetitive, it doesn’t feel immersive. Niantic needs to add new features and polish their existing features or this game will not have longevity which is a shame. Features like combat and adding enemies to the game would be great. Everything considered, Pikmin Bloom is a solid 3 out of 5 stars with so much room to improve.

It’s awesome and super fun but two issues. It’s a fun game that really gets you through a long game but I think it would really benefit us and Nintendo if we had boss fights and ice pikmin, I think that for ice pikmin you could unlock them at level 25 or 26 cause I love them a lot. I would also love to see a boss fight feature where sometimes flowers will be attacked by famous pikmin bosses that will have a difficulty system like sometimes you will have like a bulborb as a tier one enemy blocking the flower or the titan dweevil as like a tier five enemy, and you can play solo with others. I know there is a big pikmin can’t die in this game rule so what if there is like a time limit where you only have a small amount of time to beat the enemy before it’s over and the boss throws all the pikmin off it and onto your screen as they slowly slide off it. Honestly besides these things I love the game but their is not much content and I think these would really make the game more fun. -Eli Seton

Great concept, but a really long way to go. I just tried to add a note for the past day. It was limited to 300 characters and that was basically nothing to use it as a dairy. The note would be folded in the journal, too, so I think it’s definitely possible to allow multiple entries or a longer entry. I personally really like the concept, but sadly the map is pinned to your location so you can only see the flowers around you. Can there be a button that you can see the whole map, though might limited to 5 miles around you, or limited to the flowers that only you planted? I don’t like that you have to start a session in order to have your flowers planted. I think the app encourages people to take sessions of walking (fast walking, running, etc.) instead of the general walking steps. The flower planting is time-centered instead of distance/step-centered. I feel like there are not many things that you can do in the game. The flowers planted during a session were not even even if you are walking with a steady speed. Update: today I found that part of the flowers I planted disappeared from the map… wow

Wish I could do more challenges. I love Pikmin I’ve played every installment of the franchise I downloaded this game just because of my love for the little guys. So far I’m having a great time with this app even more then Pokémon go the only thing I wish I could do was do more challenges. I recently just got to the point where I can take down big mushrooms and it’s been cool getting the little fruit or stuff when there done it’s super fun. When I couldn’t do another challenge like that due to my Pikmin being tired I tried to switch out my squad hoping that would let me continue but sadly that wasn’t the case. So it kinda sad to see a challenge there and I can’t play it yet my Pikmin can go on as many expeditions as there are available. I hope in an update soon I can do as may challenges as I can expeditions other then that the game has been a simple joy to play I also wish how it counts ur steps near the end of the day u get like a prize every mile stone u pass like one nectar or after ten thousand steps get a random pikmen or something

Obnoxiously addictive for a simple concept.. Though the content within is mite lacking, it does incentivize walking around with minimal effort. You walk to get fruits, you use those fruits to get nectar, you use the nectar to plant flowers, and you plant flowers around big blooms to get more fruit. It’s an endless cycle but a fun one at that. There’s also a unique decoration system that changes depending on where the pikmin was born, incentivizing you to get out of the small bubble and explore around to gather more decos for your pikmin. Honestly the best part about this game is that the microtransations aren’t predatory in the slightest, unless you play too often. Even then it can be managed with the base upgrades in the long run. The only negatives is that Roadside decorations are hilariously common and feel like a waste of time once you’ve seen the same letter with the same color for the 55th time. And the fact that it absolutely eats the everloving crap out of your battery, but hopefully this can be patched later on in its life. Overall while not really needing to carry the pikmin mantle, I’m glad this is the franchise niantic settled on to represent. Would recommend for some offhand fun.

Pikmin Go. Every time someone asks me what this game is, I tell them it’s basically Pokémon Go, but with Pikmin instead. And it is, but I actually enjoy this game a lot more than I did Pokémon Go. The biggest difference is that the main focus is on the steps you take, making it a great exercise motivator. But the other thing I like about it is that you don’t have to go to specific places to get the different Pikmin (I believe Thomas Sanders made a joke about traveling halfway across the world to get an Arcticuno…) You do have to go to different places to get some of the more special Pikmin, but it’s general places that should be near most people such as bakeries, salons, and Ramen places. The other thing I like about that aspect of the game is that you don’t have to constantly have the app open to find the Pikmin either, you simply walk around and it saves the Pikmin that you find for you to go collect whenever you have time. The one complaint that I have is that there’s only one way to earn coins, which is through planting flowers, and it’s very slow. I’d say on average I earn about 8 coins a day and the cheapest thing in the store is about 100 coins so… it takes a while to earn enough to do anything useful with them. I understand that games have to make money somehow, but as someone who really doesn’t have cash to spend on mobile games, it’s pretty frustrating. Overall though, it’s a great game and I love walking places now instead of dreading it.

Almost perfect… just a few things they could add/change. I really do love Pikmin Bloom, in fact I have gotten others to join me in it and it is fun to destroy mushrooms together and send postcards back and forth. The things I wish were different are that I wish you could send friends things other things besides postcards (and that don’t cost actual money) like I had extra mushroom tickets or an over abundance of nectar that I would have loved to have been able to share the wealth. Also, although I enjoy joining other random people on their mushroom adventures, I wish I could send friend requests to my fellow mushroom hunters and get to know more people in my area via the app! I mean, it’s supposed to be a social game, right? I would also love it if gaining coins was a little easier, I don’t need to drown in coins, but I feel like it is beyond hard to get them without paying for them. Those things would make the game perfect. I do appreciate the daily free packs and the new challenges to get stuff. Keep it up!

Great game but I need bulbmin. This is one of my favorite apps on my phone, and I love how you get to have your own Pikmin and care for them. There are all of the Pikmin types in Pikmin 1-3! Or so I thought... The cutest Pikmin isn’t in this game. I wish that bulbmin were in this game but they sadly aren’t. I understand why since they are exclusive to caves in pikmin 2 but I thought of these special expeditions you could do where you send Pikmin to explore in caves for a small amount of time and there is a set chance of finding bulbmin or fruit. Using more Pikmin or different types can change the chance of finding bulbmin and fruit and the length of time it takes the Pikmin to go on the expedition. There is a minimum of 10 Pikmin to go on the expedition, but there can be less if you use rock or purple pikmin. I hope Nintendo or niantic sees this, because it would be so great if bulbmin made it into the game.

Good but major problem. So as a father most of my walks are with my kids or I enjoy a bike ride. Both seem to be a problem so let’s start with the first. When I go for a walk with my kids I use a stroller, this isn’t properly counting my steps or just not counting them at all (I assume this is because it’s assuming I’m in a car or something?). The next problem is bike ride, when I go on a bike ride I throw my phone in my backpack where it assumes I’m driving and also doesn’t calculate even my distance at this point. I really like this app but there are randomly spots on my map which can only be from when I took a break from riding my bike and the app decided that only that counts. Let me iterated that this app is quite enjoyable but these minor flaws missed me out on my badge today which minor, is quite upsetting. Hopefully next community day the app will consider stroller walking or bike rides as a common way to transport! Thank you!

Fun stepcounter. I’m level 8 and intent to get farther, so far it’s really just walk and I pull up Pikmin and collect some berries and stuff, it’s cute, I don’t feel useful in game yet but I think I’m around the corner, I play Pokémon go as well so it’s kinda a nice one to have in the background to count and still progress good. You definitely need a phone that counts steps to play, as I’m seeing reviews saying they can’t progress so it makes sense. I would rate it 5 stars but as others said, it’s pay to play basically, you can’t get expansion slots to anything without real money, and the coins you can earn are frankly ridiculous, and no real use for those coins. Currently I don’t mind Pokémon Go’s system to earn coins and get expansions with them, yes I still spend plenty of real cash but I like the option and I like to cut my cost by earning some, so in this one not having that just feels like a turn away from the right direction, cause it’s a flat fee, I tend to throw a 20 at it cause it’s a better deal on coins so I get more expansions. Enough ranting about that, the game itself is why your reading thing? The game is fun if you like their other games, if you didn’t like it, then you won’t like this, it’s that simple. Tho unlike their other games, this one is a lot slower on screen, it’s very focused on walking so even healthier I guess.

Can’t wait to see where it goes!. I agree with others who say in some ways this is more satisfying than Pokémon Go. I live in a rural area in a farm so unless I’m “out” there isn’t much for me to do in Go except use the AR camera or hatch eggs. But with Pikmin Bloom it’s very fulfilling to see how far I’ve walked around my farm and filling it with pretty flowers. I really enjoy when I get to use the AR camera with amy games and I enjoy it with Bloom as well. I’ve taken some very cute pictures of my Pikmin out and about! It would be cool if they were more interactive or if you could find/buy items that they could interact with in the AR environment. One additional detail that I think would really make this app even more addicting is if the Pikmin had different personalities or anything to differentiate them and make them a little more unique. I know it’s in the early stages though so I’m just enjoying it now and looking forward to what’s next!

Good concept but big issue. So, I’m chilling, looking around and see that there’s this new game by niantic called Pikmin bloom. Cool. I go and get it. Cooler. The game is great, but a big issue is that it is purchase able on an iPad. This may not seem bad, in fact, good. BUT. A thing about bloom is that it uses apple health to calculate your steps. A tiny kink in your plan, apple health was removed from iPads in 2018. Now, I get it is a game meant to be played on your phone, but niantic has already released Pokémon go that calculates your steps perfectly well and works perfectly fine on an iPad. Maybe they were in a rush, or it needed exact steps due to the exact step amounts needed to re-awaken the pikmin. None the less, good game, but they should remove it to be bought on iPads. My hope is that this ages like spoiled milk, and more people know about this. Niantic thought they could sneak the fact that the game just doesn’t on iPads work into the notes. But I see you. And I think you need to patch this, or find a way around it. Many who want to get this game are deterred by the fact it is just broken. Maybe you are working on the patch right now, but I just wanted to say that this needs to be told to more people.

Another game Niantic only half thought of. The bugs in the game, in true Niantic fashion the game loads slow at times or doesn’t load. Next you send Pikmin off to battle, sometimes for days and they come home with 3 nectar for a large mushroom. You get 30 nectar for doing a 1 minute walk and 3 for sending 20 some Pikmin for days to battle. Anywhere else you are paid extra for battle, not with Niantic, you are paid less. Then they want you to collect nectar from flowers, but the flowers are few and far between and they take forever to bloom. I have a Pokestop and gym by my house and I was hoping since I live in the country, one of those would become a big flower, but sadly no. My daughter and I are walking a mile in the morning and a mile at night to build strength in my total knee and the rest of my joints. It would be nice if Niantic kept country folk in thought when placing flowers and mushrooms. As I said in the beginning, this game was only half thought out. You would think Niantic learned from its mistakes from Pokémon Go, but it keeps making the same if not more mistakes.

An amazing game turned awful overnight. While myself and my partner have loved this game since day one, and spent many many dollars on in game purchases- we are leaving the game until they decide to make changes that allow expeditions to be suitable for users that do not live in densely populated areas. Mushroom challenges which used too take less than one minute now take up to 20 days to complete. Mushrooms have increased from 10s of thousands of HP to millions with no scaling of existing pikmin or challenge rewards. This is sickening to say the least. A once great game has turned in to an unusable product over night, and I’ve seen this opinion shared by EVERY SINGLE PLAYER that I follow online. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of DAY ONE players have spoken out against this change, and niantic has unreceptive. Having 100%d pikmin 1-3, I think a solid approach would’ve been making very large, dangerous “boss” creatures with these mega HP bars. This invites collaboration, cooperation, and the sort of multiplayer niantic was aiming for. These challenges could have increased requirements and increased rewards. Mushrooms, challenges which in the mainline pikmin games are basically slimes, taking 20 days, though, is absolutely beyond comprehension. PLEASE FIX THIS. If the change becomes properly rebalanced, and a thought out implementation of the current challenge system is put into play, this game could easily become one of the best niantic has ever made.

Good game, but I found a bug. So, i played this game expecting it to be another idle stepcounter, but it’s different. You pick up things from your Pikmin and use them to get more or change the flowers on your current ones. The game is great and i had a lot of fun with it so far, but…what prevents me from giving it five stars is the bug i encountered. See, i wanted more Pikmin so i walked until two new ones i got were ready to pluck, but i wasn’t leveling up as a friend who recommended the game to me warned about. Curious, i went to the level screen where i was given an overview of the level system and told i needed 500 total steps to do so. I had about 1000 at that point. I figured “okay, if i do 500 steps then i’ll be back to normal, right?” No matter how many steps i took, that number never went any higher. It stayed stuck at 0. I hope the devs see this; i’d really hate to need to restart and do things in a very specific order to proceed. I think i broke the sequence they wanted players to go through and that’s why i’m getting this bug. Not even restarting the app or my phone worked. Though, if you want a relaxing game to have on in the background while you walk around, then by all means get this game. It’s relaxing and fun, especially with AR mode. I just hope another bug patch is implemented to fix whatever sequence break i happened to glitch the game out with.

Excellent game, could use some minor tweaks. Overall this is an excellent and fun game to encourage exploration and being more physically active. I love collecting all the different types of pikmin and blooming a variety of flowers. This game is very well polished. My only complaint are some minor tweaks that could improve gameplay. 1) a way to organize pikmin by color on the main pikmin page itself. Currently you can only do this during an expedition and it can make things clunky if you are wanting swap in certain colors into your squad outside of expeditions. 2) more decor pikmin! The decor pikmin are excellent and honestly what I love most about the game and what keeps me exploring. I’m always excited to get a new cafe or beach pikmin. I love their designs and they always bring a smile to my face in their little costumes. However, I worry that in a few months of actively playing the game I will run out of unique pikmin to find. I think there is a lot of room to expand the types of decor pikmin, such as gym pikmin holding weights or wearing sweat bands, or taco stand or other food groups outside of burgers, hospital pikmin wearing masks or stethoscopes. There are so many great ideas!

Avid Niantic player. So I’ve played Ingress. Not really my jam. I play Go prolifically. I’ve played Wizards Unite but it’s boring as heck and I’m not surprised they’re killing the game early next year I decided to try this one. First it doesn’t track steps as well as Go. I look on one app versus the other and it barely registers my steps. Two the Ingress portals are not all available on Pikmin. In fact very few. The portals or poke stops and gyms should be universal. Especially to loyal players that know where all of these spots are located. I seriously bought my home knowing I was within walking distance to 6. So it’s disappointing to see in Pikmin that I can’t reach any of the 6. They just aren’t there. Instead the closest to me are in high traffic areas that are not the most safe due to the transient population. No, I’m not saying all homeless are the scourge of society. I’ve been accosted by enough in my area to know that mental illness is a real problem among the homeless. I’ve also questioned why I don’t see the aliens they clearly can see. But I digress. Open all the portals in Pikmin please! I spent months looking for the perfect home.

I’m a fan. Been playing for a few years, love collecting all the different types so pickmin, my fav are the holiday ones. Halloween especially! This app makes walking a little more fun and sometimes pushes me to walk and move more. I love the quick little reflection it does at the end of the day. Select a face that fits the mood of the day- happy, sad, or neutral. You can add a pic or a few, and if you’re in the mood you can write a little bit. If not no worries, and it records your steps at the end of the day! I love to journal and have kept one most of my life, but for someone who doesn’t journal this could be a great way to get into it or try it out to see if you like it! An Apple Watch or Fitbit make the app a lot better- I think they’re more accurate then my phone @ counting steps. Only thing i would like to change: Would love it if I was able to add the people who join me when I’m destroying mushrooms to my friends. Idk why that’s not an option. And cuter free clothes and avatar accessories… but mainly the adding friends thing.

Good game but could use more. It’s a fun game and I like playing it since I feel too late to join the Pokémon Go train. However, I would like to see more mechanics added to it, as it feels less addicting than finding Pokémon to collect. Maybe adding a mechanic like you have to gauge the timeframe to send Pikmin out on expeditions so that they arrive before sunset, otherwise they risk being eaten by monsters, like in the Pikmin games. Or like have some stops include puzzles for you to figure out with your Pikmin or surrounding players. Maybe places that have more flowers planted within them get special bonuses. I’d like to see more different types of Pikmin and for earning coins to be easier to actually buy items like the slots in the shop because I have so many seeds to plant. Just feels like it needs more. Thinking more incentive to collect or compete like Pokémon Go or more little things to do, more details added, similar to a life sim like Animal Crossing. I hope the devs read this and it doesn’t get lost in the sea of reviews.

Excellent pedometer based game!. This game, while retaining somewhat similar mechanics in certain areas, has a completely different base mechanic in that it revolves entirely around step count, and walking, unlike PGo using distance travelled as it’s base metric. Through the week it serves as mainly a pedometer and something to do during downtime, breaks or lunch. However, in my free time it has completely transformed how I spend big chunks of my free time. I’m constantly looking for new area to explore and walk through to keep things fresh, as well as find unique Decor variants. I’m almost always looking for a good place to start a Pikmin day when I’m out and about, and pushing my step counts ever higher and for longer periods. This also works really well being that my wife still plays PGo, and is always willing to go hunting for ‘mon while I’m planting up some ‘min. If you’re a fan of walking, Niantic mobile games, pedometry, exploring your local area, or are maybe just looking to boost your physical output daily in a fun, cute, very enjoyable way I very much recommend giving Pikmin Bloom a shot. The monetized portions are EXTREMELY not necessary but are there if you don’t mind tossing a couple dollars to Nindy to save a bit of grinding. Well done Niantic and Nintendo, and the Devs. I expect much more content to be added down the line, it seems a bit threadbare right this minute, but still has lots to do and many levels to grind through. Enjoy!

Definitely better than Hey! Pikmin. Even though it’s just an enhanced step counter, this game definitely feels more like a Pikmin game than Hey! Pikmin. I understand so much of the upgrades costing real money as it’s only been out for a week and a half, and they are trying to get revenue off of it. However, I hope they add collectible “treasures” like in Pikmin 2. Its be a great thing to have besides from collecting costumes for Pikmin. I still give it a five star because I can see a lot of potential for this. But only time will tell! However, I’ve seen all these bugs on the game from other reviewers, but my only bug is a very minor one that doesn’t affect anything: sometimes when I log in, the game will give me a notification saying that I am going too fast, when I’m sitting down at a table. That’s my only problem and I hope any readers will have a good day, thank you for taking the time to read this!

Things you could add!. Could you please add where you could trade seedlings and pikmin instead of throwing them away? But you need to be over lvl 15 to do that. That’s it! Thanks for reading this review and I hope you have a good day. 🥰 Byee!

Can’t play when I get to level 6. When I finally got to level six it didn’t let me play but I always love the game before that

I’M IN LOVE!. I absolutely love this app! The pikmin are adorable and it’s amazing how you grow attached to them (get it?), the music is so cheery and fun, and the gameplay itself, keeps me coming back every few hours. Here’s a tip: NAME YOUR PIKMIN! You’ll like them more that way. I can’t wait to see what comes of this game in the future!

Got me walking again. Simple game, very enjoyable and don’t need to spend money to have a good time. Got me walking even on my most unmotivated days so I’m very grateful for this. The Pikmin are adorable as well ^.^

Good but an annoying bug.. I was going around looking for leaves to find and wait for them to become flowers. Then, I found 2 near my house. All went right, but when I walked over, my internet supposedly disconnected (got a message on the screen). Only when I got to the leaf. My mii was moving on the map. I was still connected to wifi it said on my actual device. Then I walked back. Got home. 0 steps?! I walked for a long time and 0 STEPS?1 Please fix this. Or tell me how.

Steps aren’t being counted. I love the game but there’s definitely an issue with the way my steps are being counted. I will go somewhere with my friends who play they’ll all easily get 5k+ steps in the time mines registered maybe 1k. I also have a smart watch that counts my steps and generally do 8-10k steps a day, I always have my phone either in my hand or my pocket but only get 1-2k steps a day in Pikmin. It’s becoming very frustrating and makes playing at this point feel pointless.

Too difficult to complete challenges. I really like this game and love the introduction of challenges, however mostly they are almost impossible to complete when the flowers required to complete the challenges are simply not available in the game. It makes the challenges completely boring when there is no way of completing them unless you want to spend coins purchasing the required flowers

Adorable + Peaceful Game. I never played Pikmin on Nintendo, but I looked forward to this game coming out when I saw the announcements of it being in the works. I wasn’t sure what to expect as a mobile AR, such as how it will play out and what the game itself is like. And all I can say is, I really love it. It’s great for fans of Pikmin (as I’ve heard), and for people like me who are new to these cute plant-like creatures. It’s a calm kind of walking game, way different to Pokémon GO and Wizards Unite. There’s no pressure. It’s just about gardening. 😁

Ideas. THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER! I always do walking and running with my cousin and we love all the pikmins, but we have an idea. School pikmins! We imagine them with apples on their head because it’s like they’re going to give it to their teacher. Love the game so much, mwa!

Quite Fun. Pretty Decent n, tracks your walk and can be played while on other apps through adventure syncing

Good game but pikmin are missing. Pikmin bloom is amazing, but the pikmin from pikmin 4 are still missing. I know that glow pikmin are gonna be gone for a while since the glow pikmin are busy with my wife and daughter. But theres no reason Ice pikmin can’t be here unless they be hanging with snoop Dogg. Other than that I love this game, especially the purples in my a-

Excellent. Everything is good but I would like to know if you could add a indicator saying you’ve already named a Pikmin the name you’re trying to give it. Since I have so many I give them random names leading to some who share one so please consider helping this. Great game so good job.

Could be really good. Game has a great ip and has the potential to be really great. But as it is right now there isnt really anything to do. Theres no depth and isnt much of a game rather fancy step counter so far. More game features and things to collect/ do and it will be amazing in no time.

Pikmin Bloom. This is an amazing motivation to get me walking again! I’m proud to have been a beta tester for this app, I’m looking forward to see how it is going to continue to evolve!

Latest version keep crashing!!!. Cannot connect to server it's horrible update. Only works under wifi, not on mobile data. Please help fixing...

It’s just Pokémon go but boring. I tried to play the game but after the tutorial it just got super boring All you can do is just walk, check how much you’ve walked, plat flowers and play with your Pikmin but even that’s a stretch since all you can do is throw them, feed them nectar, and call them not to mention you need to walk 1,000 just to get ONE Pikmin I walked around my whole block and BARELY Broke 100 how an I supposed to make 1,000 AND have fun? At least walking huge amounts in Pokemon go is an ALTERNATIVE and not a requirement like in this game and the Pikmin do absolutely NOTHING besides give you more Pikmin. Like they could have at least added enemy’s that you could fight for stuff like using your Pikmin the defeat a bulborb and gain some more Pikmin or a new nectar like the red one or the purple one or have a flower that you could set certain Pikmin to to collect stuff over time so that you have INSENSITIVE go and walk around but it doesn’t have any of that it’s just a step count that has Pikmin in it that do NOTHING. All this time with no new game and this is what we get? Really? Metroid game looks great kirbys game is 3D and looks great Pokémon’s new games look great Pikmin get a bland step counter with Pikmin you can toss around and that’s it. (At least I HOPE this isn’t it and they might add more to it down the line but we can only wait and see)

no friends for mushrooms. I love this game it’s encouraged me to get out of the house a lot and I’ve explored beaches and parks, it’s been really enjoyable. But with the new updated mushrooms, it would takes around EIGHT hours, to destroy a set of small mushrooms when it use to take 28 seconds. For large mushrooms it takes 4 DAYS that’s with a friend. I love the new displays but the time it takes to complete mushrooms is kind of ridiculous.

Absolute waste of time and ruined since last update. You can spend days upon days on mushrooms with little to no reward. The spawn rates for anything other than small mushrooms just isn’t there. I have nothing but smalls around consistently since the update and little to no nectar from them! This isn’t sustainable when you ask for challenges to plant flowers. Unless you’re spending real money you cannot get anywhere in challenges anymore. It’s not worth any time or effort anymore. Shame because it was a fantastic game I spent so much time on. But not anymore :( What were you guys thinking doing this? Get rid of this ridiculous small mushroom spawn rate. There’s no chance of any other size anymore unless you’re in a major city. You do not have the player base nor amount of people needed to destroy these smalls or anything else to make it worth anyone’s time :(

Great game. It’s a great game and gets me walking more, only think that’s not amazing is how much it can drain your battery. And it would be great to have options to have remote like access with the mushroom challenges so you could play with others maybe. But I love the flowers and the little Pikmin, super cute and love giving myself a challenge with the steps.

Fun. It’s great I love it. It’s more passive than Pokémon go but it’s still fun with lots of stuff to do I can see myself getting way too in to this exiting though

Ongoing issues & Nintendo/Niantic don’t seem to care. Two community days in a row now (Dec & Jan) there have been issues with the CD badge. The first one didn’t get issues for ages and the most recent one, you were meant to get the total camellias planted on your badge. Despite planting camellias for more than 20,000 steps, mine showed as zero for days and now shows no total at all. Since the last update, it only works on wifi and not with cellular data. Multiple comments on their social accounts are going ignored. This is a game that relies on logging in when you’re out and about so to leave an error like that for so long and without any recognition is disgraceful. Aside from the bugs, it’s low level of in game rewards and functionality is poor. The sorting function isn’t user friendly or logical (especially when compared to PoGo), and there are way too many road ones with boring stickers and not enough other types. Road as a theme has so much potential with cars, road cones, traffic lights etc so why just the boring stickers? The limits on mushrooms are stingy, you can’t invite friends to mushrooms and postcards serve absolutely no purpose. You also can’t delete expeditions. All in all, it’s a visually cute game that’s really not making the most of its potential and since the last CD, I’ve stopped bothering.

Great Game just a few problems. I personally really enjoy this game i just went on my first walk and had a great time planting flowers. However the abundence of microtransactions for growing pikmin and flowers is a bit anoying.

Love it but it glitched me out of earning a badge. Great game, just need someone to give me the community day badge after it glitches out, I screenshot the 10,000 steps and it didnt give me it. Thanks

Pikmin Joy. These little Pikmins are the answer to relieving stress while getting you out to spread the joy with beautifully created flowers. Not only that you collect coins for the amount of flowers you spread so extra rewards. Cha Ching!! Then you get special Pikmin during the year by participating in challenges and goals. Highly recommended for kids to adults who love to find a reason to get out there and enjoy fresh air or a bit of fun.

Cute Game!. I think this is a great casual game for someone like me who walks a lot. Would be really cool to see a few more things appear on the map then just flowers like enemies and so on. Can’t wait to see what is added next!

Cute with a few bugs. This app definitely makes walking more fun, but more often than not it says I’m going too fast when I might be literally sitting on the couch. I really like the feature of sending out pikmin to get fruit and seedlings, and the postcards they bring back are cute too. It’s a more passive game than Pokemon Go, but I think I like it more for that reason since I don’t want to be constantly checking my phone while I’m out. I can just open the app, turn on flower planting and then just tuck it into my pocket and know I’m making the world more beautiful.

Such a fun cute little app!. The Pikmin are so cute and it’s a great app to have running in the background also didn’t even need to buy anything! Go out and plant some flowers!

Storage space??. I absolutely love this game I play it everyday with my partner and I am already up to level 40. One of the only things that I don’t like, is that I can upgrade any of my storage unless I use real money. The game already has in game money, and I would love if we could use that to upgrade all storage types!!! Maybe that could be changed in the next couple of updates?? Much appreciated keep up the good work!! Please please please please please give me the option to delete unwanted expeditions!!!

I can’t play. I can’t play Pikmin bloom because it hasn’t requested to track steps so basically can’t grow Pikmin I’m not sure if deleting the app and reinstalling it will help Also I’m thinking you could add bulborbs that you can attack and if a Pikmin gets wounded it would take a certain amount of time to get it back to attack with it again from going to your backpack and getting revived

Great game with a few issues. Very enjoyable game totally worth the download. That being said, there are a few issues. Firstly, there are a few small bugs that come with most new mobile games and will hopefully be fixed soon. Secondly, the walking system can easily be cheated by manually inputting your steps per day on the health app! This needs to be fixed ASAP! Finally, the game itself is good but it does need some more content. Possibly more mini games, a reason to actually explore. The large flowers you can find and make bloom don’t seem to have any apparent value. They don’t seem to do much and personally, aren’t much of an incentive to explore. Regardless this game is very enjoyable and definitely worth the download, i hope it receives continuous support and more players. Great game 👍

Enjoyable, but has its issues. I have been playing this game for around 4 months now and I’ve been really enjoying it. Though, there are a few QOL changes that would make the game a more enjoyable experience. These being: -Blooming flowers is fun but tedious due to the small radius you must walk in order to progress. I often find myself walking in circles in a small area which is quite embarrassing. I would like this to be changed, maybe by increasing the radius on where we must plant the flowers, or by adding a whole new mechanic to make it less tedious. -Pikmin storage should be increased from 300 to a minimum of 500. Im level 39 and already finding myself running low on storage. Buying more storage is an option, however, the prices are absurd for such a small increase of 20 Pikmin. Either increase the max default storage, or lower the prices and increase the effectiveness of buying Pikmin storage. -If you travel far distances often, you will notice how long it takes for some Pikmin to return with their decor. I went on a holiday and came back home and it took my Pikmin 70 days to return. This is just stupid. I understand the realism, but there is no excuse for such a wait time. I would like it for Pikmin to have a maximum return time of 7 days. I look forward to what the team has in store for us! 🍀

Great! Keep updates constant.. I’ve been having a blast with this game, it’s like pokemon go but with way less maintenance. As long as updates are constant with new costumes, features and events i will be playing for ages!

It’s great but could be way cooler. I have a lot of fun with the idea of walking to get Pikmin and nectar, but the game could be so much better if they had enemies to defeat, like some sort of bulbar creatures or something. It would make the game awesome!

Need more Pikmin Storage!. I really enjoy this game, it is very cute and it is fun collecting all the different types of decor Pikmin. Could you please make one small change? I would really like to be able to use coins I have earned in game to buy more Pikmin storage. Please?!?!?

Such a joy!. I work as a cleaner at a huge hospital so I always come check this game at the end of the day to see my step count. The game is such a joy and I love to see the path of flowers that I’ve planted with the cute pikmins!!

Coins. Too hard to earn coins and there’s no way I’m paying that insane price. I feel like walking while planting is not rewarding at all… unless your next to a plant so you can watch it grow… but I’m not walking around in ridiculous circles to achieve this… reward people for planting and walking better. And make it so you don’t have to walk in circles to grow a flower…

Heaps of potential. I love this game and that there is no “battling” other players. I enjoy walking around with Little flowers and planting flowers. I think that the adventure sync feature on Pokémon go could be adapted to this app, there is a MAJOR discrepancy to the steps counted on my watch and on my Pokémon go to this app. Otherwise, I love the chilled out vibe of this game.

Very cute. I have always liked pikmin, but getting to see them up close in AR mode is probably the best thing to come out of the series. Overall this is is one of my favourites on the AppStore,

Disappointed about map but beautiful game. This game is relaxing, pretty, and cute. The colours are nice to look at, and I love all the cute little pikmin running around. I also really enjoy the lack of a competitive element; the game feels much easier to play day to day. That being said, the map leaves me slightly disappointed. I live in a fairly remote little town, and many of the things that we have (post office, cafe, splashpad, ect) don’t exist on the map, leaving me no opportunity to get any pikmin except roadside pikmin. Also listed is a shop that used to exist here, but hasn’t in over a year. All in all, it’s a lovely game. The colours are nice to look at, the gameplay is relaxing, and I really enjoy not having to battle others for rewards.

Incessant Crashing. This game is great, I’d give it 4 stars. But on my iPhone 7 whenever I try to actually interact with the app it crashes after a minute or two (or even just on launch). Niantic, if you fix the crashing this will be one of my favourite games to play. So please, just fix them.

A wonderful and peaceful but there’s one bug…. I grew up with playing Pikmin and this game is great. Music is soft, graphics are more than decent, and it’s just Pokémon Go but more gentle. Now with just one bug I’m experiencing, I can’t progress in the game. My steps aren’t being counted! I’ve checked more than triple times if fitness was being tracked, but was no good. I’ve looked in support too about the issue but hasn’t been resolved. I hope this bug gets fixed and I can get back to making the world more fluorescent!

A bug. Please deal with the bug on access that keeps locking me out, with the error message that I don’t have Internet access- when every other app including Safari, on my iPhone does have Internet access and I have 5 bars signal strength. Last time I had to delete the app, re-load from iCloud and log in again. I suppose I will have to do the same now. Otherwise a nice step counting adventure app - if you can access it.

Great game very fun. I’m a fan of Pokémon go and this is just like it if your a fan of the pikmin games it’s very similar,I know the game is very new but maybe in the future it would be cool to add new stuff in already level 6 can’t wait to level up more

Walking but a lil funnier!!. I’ve been addicted to this for about 2.5yrs now! But if you’re looking for an in-depth game you can sit +play then this is not for you, it’s not that sort of game! This is a complimentary game, it’s essentially a pedometer with a few fun lil characters to collect +activities to do AS YOU WALK AROUND! All the bad reviews seem to want a proper game but it’s more a fitness aid. I’m obsessed, I have ADHD so getting small rewards or getting motivations to finish a challenge has really helped me get out there +walk more! Plus I’ve started going to different locations for walks which has enriched my experience, seeing so many new sights +it has let me prolong my motivation to keep walking!

Better than it is on the Nintendo Switch. Such a fun game to play if you do have the free time. Since I’m of and about at work and stuff but it’s very convenient. This is way better the the Nintendo switch version.

Game breaking bug?. Been working fine for a few days. But one I Got to level 8 it’s stuck not counting my steps. So I can’t level up. Tested on a new account and it’s counting steps on the new account but not my main account please fix.

Bad latest update. I was really enjoying the game for a bit of light hearted fun but since the latest update when it’s now taking days or weeks to defeat mushrooms battles especially if you are in an area where there are no other players. Please put it back the way it was and make a lot of players happy again

Fantastic for kids. This game is great for the kids “my legs are too tired” moments when you are only halfway home. I only wish I could purchase surprise items to place up ahead or in places I wish to walk to increase excitement levels for getting places.

It’s great but…. I love this game and the only reason it isn’t 5 stars is that ice and glow Pikmin have not been implemented yet for ice Pikmin they can be like the other Pikmin but maybe they could have glow Pikmin be found after 5pm They could even add new mushrooms to fight I do think that this mode should be optional though if they implement it or something like it

Pleasant but requires too much interaction. I adore the postcards pikmins bring back. I hope this app can enable more auto functions. Planting flowers, colour selection, squad selection feeding and petal collection are quite time consuming and distracting. I’d rather it can provide a mode where pikmin can be multi selected into squad, auto planting while leaving home, auto feeding and petal collection to reduce screen time.

AVATAR NEEDS UPGRADE. I love the game but the avatar/mii should at-least have more clothes. Letting us customize face and hair separate, and having more options. I think it should be like making a normal mii, but with more clothing possibly. Hopefully this gets updated in the future, other than that I have no complaints.

Fun. Bring ice pikmin plz

Pikmin✨✨. Love the Pikmin, especially all the different decor types! Although I keep seeing a bug with the fishing lure decor, the hook keeps going upside down when I view my Pikmin and it also doubles for some reason. Please fix :)

Best Game Ever. The Pikmin are so adorable, and I love them so much! If you haven’t played it, you must.

Underage. Says I’m underaged to play Pikmin bloom. I’m 13

Cute game. Love it very much!

Hey Nintendo, when will Pikmin 4 come out?. Hey, I’ll get this game because it’s the closest thing to Pikmin 4, but please. It’s been so many years. I just want Pikmin 4, man.

Needs Internet to Plant Flowers. The app is good but for some reason, you need to be connected to the internet to plant flowers… What’s the point of going outside if I can’t even plant flowers to get coins and other rewards…

Pikmin Bloom cured my depression. Pikmin wear hats enough said

love it. pikmin

I love this game!!. This game is so much fun! Its also amazing quality and stability considering it just came out!! Kudos Niantic and Nintendo! This needs to become the next Pokemon Go!!

Not tracking me :(. The app is not even tracking my steps. It is consistently staying at zero steps recorded no matter how many steps I have taken.

Honestly getting better. The 2023 Halloween event was done really well imo. The bullhorn is also an amazing addition.

Crashes - can’t even open. Tried to open the app, managed to login with Nintendo account after 5th crash then the loading screen will go no further. Loads 75> of the way then crashes

Please fix.. Fix crashes on iPhone 6 (it has iOS12.5), thanks.

Why Like Pikmin bloom. It’s fun and It gets me on walks through nature

pikmin. pikmin

Treasure. Please add treasure in the game!

pikmin. my favourite game

Encourages going outside!. So cute! Honestly came for the miis but stayed for the pikmin and encouragement of being active!

Pikmin :3. Pikmin :3

Fun, but could definitely use more content.. Something that I find is an issue, which will probably be fixed in the future, is that there isn’t a lot of content. I don’t know if there are still stuff not unlocked for me level-wise, but only being able to go on expeditions, which isn’t really gameplay and more of a waiting game, and sprouting those gigantic flowers, there isn’t really much else that is generally entertaining, as everything else is just not really as entertaining and is more of a slow grinding kind of task, and it’s a TINSY let down. Using Pokémon GO as example, you were able to battle people by using your Pokémon, and using abilities by doing things like swiping the patterns on screen, which was really fun, but fighting in this game (challenges) is just a stopwatch with a reward when the health is depleted. This is a mini-issue, something that can’t really be helped, but playing SOLO is a bit tedious and unfair. Challenges and planting flowers becomes a ton more challenging, and tedious, as now you have to do everything yourself, and with things like challenges, that isn’t really an option, but that’s just because I live in a smallish town. I get that this game is aimed towards multiplayer, so I cant really complain about it. (This game could become popular tomorrow for all I know anyway, surely there will be people to play with.) Despite some issues I have, I still find it a surprisingly fun game for how shallow it was content-wise. I still enjoyed getting my whole squad 4 hearts, trying to get them all cute accessories, and this game even made me become a bit more active! which is what matters in the end; I am satisfied, it just definitely could get better by adding more stuff to aim for, or to do. 3-5: Fun, but could use more content.

Ate. My pikmin are always begging for mercy and crying how to stop?

:). It makes me happy

Such a great game!. Super cute— I much prefer the base mechanics to Poké Go, since you can get all the benefits no matter where you live, and everything is unlocked just by walking. It’s great to be able to put my phone away and walk without having to check it constantly. The one issue I have with the game is that some items in the shop (like capacity upgrades for flower petals or pikmin) can only be bought with real money, not in-game coins. Since coins take so long to save up, I don’t really see myself using them at all, since the majority of the shop items are easily obtainable through normal play.

Pikmin. Honestly this is the best mobile game I’ve played in my life, because uuhhhh. Pikmin

Only play with friends, and even then, it’s slowly losing it’s edge.. Pros: Plenty of varied decor Pikman to find/collect Updates are still frequent-ish allowing for rotating flower types and new decor Pikman every now and then to keep things fresh. Helped me get outside more to exercise Cons: Huge drain on the Battery, unlike it’s predecessor Pokémon go (If I had the app constantly going with power saving mode on, it would last maybe an hour) Hard to complete the collection, as not only does no official Pikman map exist, event Pikman are seasonal and if you miss out, tough luck. Crashes are consistent due to the amount of entities that can be on screen at any given time. Recent changes to how they also gave out Golden seedlings downgraded this review from a 4-star to a 3-star. The “Stage” system is too unreliable to get consistent golden seedlings from, and the alternatives cost way too much coins for the average Pikman player to reasonably have, encouraging P2W alternatives.

Excellent for travelling. I love using Pikmin to mark my travels via the Pikmin actually belonging to the location you found them and the post cards you collect from play. Highly recommend playing in Japan! It’s extremely active there.

swag. first review?

Game is Fun but Battery Drainer. The gameplay is very fun. But man, this app drains your battery like no other! Having it open and active on my phone for 10 minutes drained 25% of my battery and made my phone warm. Also, it causes intermittence in my Bluetooth signal, and has major lag within the game, causing slow down. Niantic needs to fix these issues (especially the battery draining) in order for players to be able to fully enjoy the game.

gaiahaihaisbsjs. it’s a really good game and and i really like getting the decor pikmin!! but the items in the shop are really expensive, like 400 coins for a kimono?!!?! and it already takes a while just to get a couple of coins!! anyway i would give it 4-5 starts it’s just that i think the clothing you can buy with in-game currency is over priced.

PIKMIN BLOOM. It’s amazing in every possible way.Me and my friend can’t stop playing.

Crashing problem, can’t play. I selected to make an account with google than taken to the loading screen but when the bar on the bottom filled up about eight tenths the app crashes and I’m sent back to my apps screen. I can’t really give much more than 1 star since I can’t even play it.

Needs more options. Okay so this game is cute and fun but after a while gets a little boring. Instead of just recycling unwanted Pikmin seedlings you should be able to sell those for coins to get more space/cool flowers or fruits/cool Pikmin etc etc. As it is there are very few ways to get coins and I’m not going to spend my own money to get things in a game lol. Also if the quests were a bit more interactive that would be fun

It has potential. While it’s not a 5 star game yet, it has the potential, with continued development. It’s a good motivator to walk. However, there’s a point (and I’ve hit it) where I can’t seem to collect any new decor even at places with a lot of variety. I haven’t seen anything that isn’t a roadside in weeks. More map refinement and decor types are needed. It sort of takes away from the motivation. And from a 20 year Pikmin console game fan, bring us more of the lore that made Pikmin so amazing. Onions and skitterleafs and bulborbs … maybe even (be still, my heart) bulbmin?

Pikmin. The Pikmin can where hats that is more then what I wanted

Amazing. It’s so perfect and beautiful I named my rock Pikmin dwayne the rock johnson but besides that it’s fun to go on walks with the app

peak. its peak

New mushroom battles…. The new mushroom battles are awful, even on co-op… the commitment in duration is ridiculous. The star thresholds and mushroom health are way too high to be reasonable. Additionally, reducing the rewards for Small size mushrooms while vastly increasing the strength threshold to earn better results is simply lame. As a Lv 40 player, on a good day I would be able to collect 3-6 large fruits. With a friend on co-op, I would be able to collect 6 large fruits daily, guaranteed. It would be a process that would take five minutes to be done with! Now, squads sent out with the same initial conditions yield far less fruit and take much longer, ridiculously so, to complete. Having entire squadrons of pikmin gone for *days* at a time to earn LESSER rewards than the same group was able to earn in *thirty seconds* pre-update is just not good design. I’ve no other way to put it. The gameplay is a huge downgrade and is so much less enjoyable for so many players. I look around the community and the places they converge online, and I see that 98% of people have similar opinions: simply, this is bad, and prefer how it was before. It was simpler, much less of a time commitment, yielded better in-game rewards, and much more accessible for solo players. With the old system, one could complete all mushroom battles for the day in just a few minutes, satisfyingly. I will say that the UI changes and communication features, as well as the nectar option on the prep screen are all very good and convenient changes. That being said, the main change to the entire mushroom battle system is awful and genuinely upsetting for me and many others. The entire community is upset with this decision, and I’ve seen many people who are considering uninstalling because of it. Therefore we ask you to please consider our thoughts and feelings, and remake the mushroom battle system to be more enjoyable than it originally was, as opposed to how it is now: significantly less enjoyable and way more inconvenient. Thank you for your consideration.

Stop emailing me…. You are literally emailing me twice a day to tell me to download this app. Well you succeeded. I downloaded it just so I can rate you one star and now have deleted it. Spam does not equal profit.

hmmmm…. I was really looking forward to playing this, but when I try to sign in with my Nintendo account, it says something like, “You need permission to share your location. Ask for help from an adult to change location settings”. I set all my location settings in my account and on my phone for the game, to allow or always. Is this a bug or am I just being stupid?

Love it! Mii outfits ugly tho. Super fun, but the outfit choices for the mii avatars are lacking.

Can’t play it :(. I open the app, it loads and then immediately crashes.

Pikmin Bloom Review. It has Pikmin

Pikmin. I love everything Pikmin so this amazing and it helps me exercise

Friends. I really enjoy this game, my friends and I do it together all the time but we have ran into an issue, a lot of us have double of the same Pikman and we were really liking if we could be able to send each other Pikmans. One of my friends house for red ice cream dudes, and the other two of us don’t got one so if we could be able to send them to each other, the game would be the best game ever!

P I K M I N. Pikmin

AMAZING APP. I love this app because not only does it track my daily steps it boosts my serotonin by a lot just seeing little Pikmin walking with me or bringing me stuff from there cute little expeditions! In short why I like this app: •Cute Pikmin •Tracks your steps •Gives you walking goals and if you completes them you get stuff. •You can add friends •And at the end of each day you can add some cute pictures and add a note like a mini diary on that day!! In conclusion it’s just a really cute game to track your steps ✨

Game is CUTE.. ITS A GOOD GAME! ITS SOO CUTEE, i love the accessories on the pikmin AHH- this actually really motivates me to walk around and get more pikmin, i just love these lil guys ✨

Pikmin bloom is awesome!!!. Being a game featuring my favourite Nintendo creatures and counting steps as a main function is fun and awesome sending pikmin on expeditions is fun the music is melodic and upbeat a well rounded simple and great game.

A fun little game that doubles as a journal. I love Pikmin Bloom. It’s a lot less active and attention needy than Pokémon Go, but doesn’t fail to deliver some time killing joy while walking or waiting for the bus. The little Journal function at the end is a helpful daily routine, and the day ratings have helped me revaluate how I see a day. Blue, Grey, or Yellow, a bit simple but that simplicity helps keep my stresses in proportion, by letting me ask myself “was today bad enough to be a blue? What happened that maybe made it a grey? Oh man, today has been a yellow for sure.” It’s a little bit buggy here and there, but they’re working on it and it shows. I think that a little patience makes all the micro transactions nonessential (although they could be a little less stingy with the coin giving). All in all, give it a shot! It’s fun and doubles as a little journal to boot :-)

Call me greedy, but.... The game simply doesn't reward the player enough. As someone that walks an average of 14k-18k steps a day, it baffles me that I can plant flowers for nearly 8 hours straight and get rewarded with one coin. Sometimes not even that. :( If a planter slot costs 150 coins, and the player earns 1-2 coins a day -- don't bother with the math, because it shouldn't take more than a week to earn enough coins to get an additional planting slot; particularly since the coin planters are single-use only, unlike the Pokemon Go model of 3 uses per incubator. The concept alone of planting flowers all over the map that other people can see is heartwarming in its own right. Pikmin are adorable, I love the little accesories (though I do wish they were a little more varied between types of Pikmin), and the music is surprisingly catchy. I want to keep playing this game! Please consider fixing the extremely sparse coin acquisition so we dedicated players can walk miles for their freemium items.

Amazing game, only ONE thing I would change.. This game is awesome. I’ve been playing it every day for a week. My one and only problem with it is that the only way to upgrade your storages is with money. I wish that it was like Pokémon go where you could just use the in game currency, that way, if you were willing to grind it out and plant hundreds of thousands of flowers, you could get the upgrades for free. I feel like this would be a very good change. Even if it were a ridiculous amount of coins (for example, you could either pay 2 dollars, or grind for 500 or so coins, which means planting AT LEAST 250,000 flowers) I feel that this change would make for a much better experience and make the coins more worth grinding for.

An app for stopping and smelling the roses.. As someone who walks/bikes and takes pictures every day, this app is perfect for me. This app is pretty much a virtual diary with added features. I turn on the flower power before I leave, reap the rewards when I get back home, and send the squad out for expeditions when I know I won’t be leaving the house for the rest of the day. I take pictures of things that interest me on my walks (like a cool plant, a neighborhood cat, well designed architecture, etc.) and this app serves as a place to store those memories. The journal entries are so cute and really make me feel like my little pikmin friends are enjoying their time with me, especially when they bring me postcards! One SEVERE negative about this game is that earning coins is ridiculously slow. I get that this game is very slow paced, but it’s kind of ridiculous that I’ve only made 5 coins after 30k+ steps and 2 hours of flower planting 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, the interface is not the most user friendly. It’s a bit tricky to remember where everything is. But overall, I’m enjoying the app. It’s a slow grind, but I’m here for it.

Good, but a bit empty.. The idea of contributing to a global tapestry of flowers has its inherent appeal. Unfortunately, when you’re in a small playing area and flowers disappear, it accentuates the emptiness. Perhaps areas with less players could have longer lasting flowers? Also, earning currency is pitiful. Having to plant at minimum 500 flowers per coin makes me less want to plant flowers during the shorter, more frequent walks that make up my day. The least they should do is have the daily flower total used to calculate coins, as opposed to flowers per individual walk. On the brighter side, the daily recap is one of my favorite features. Simplifying a journal log to a mood scale encourages me to go the extra mile and actually write about my day. I’ve always like the keeping a journal, but only now have I actually been incentivized to keep one going.

Latest Updates Ruin Game Experience. In the latest update they nerfed planting. One of the main objectives in this game is to plant flowers where you go and they made it worse. First you can now get normal nectar from Mushrooms. Why?? Then second they DOUBLED your petal usage when planting. So nowadays you're both planting less seasonal petals AND fewer petals overall. I play this game secondary to Ingress, it's a nice game in the background you don't have to maintain as much in your spare time and now the game wants more of my time to feed nectar to replenish petals and I can't keep this up. Please Remove normal nectar from Mushrooms, Revert Petal usage as it was, and Revert the planting reward Coins as it was (not previously mentioned).

Good app, but there have been some bad changes to it lately. I have loved this app since it came out. It’s been one of my favorites. And I really love the addition of weekly challenges. There are a few things I would change though! 1. I don’t like getting normal nectar on mushroom challenges. It makes doing them useless unless it’s a mushroom that I’ve never done before. The only benefit now is the postcard. It was much better and more rewarding when you got special types of nectar from completing them. 2. Also I think it would benefit this game to have an option to watch an ad instead of spend money in the store. I read that this game hasn’t made the revenue that Niantic had hoped and I believe that adding optional ads in exchange for rewards would help that. I personally don’t spend money on free to play games but I do watch ads for them. 3. The other thing I would change is the flower planting rate. It was way better before the update. Overall I really enjoy this app, it’s one of my favorites. But I do think it desperately needs these changes to make it more worthwhile to play it.

Fun, but low effort.. The core mechanics are fine and fun. I regularly take walks outside at work and this is a fantastic way to gamify them. My problem comes in at the shop. It is clearly and obviously a zero effort conversion of the Pokémon go shop and it’s even more greedy. There are four different capacity upgrades that cost real money *only* and only one of them is actually worth buying (petal capacity for longer walks) because you’ll never hit the limit for anything else. Pokémon go also gave you a reliable way to earn significant quantities of in game currency. The costs in this shop are the same as those in PoGo, but you earn 1/10th of the coins, making the whole coin-earning mechanic feel completely meaningless. I’d like to see a little more effort in making the shop actually rewarding and not a low effort whale fishing expedition.

Broooo. This game is amazing. So far on my end there have been no/minimal bugs (there are some movement/rendering glitches with pikmin on expeditions hours away, does not affect gameplay). The decor is great, it has made walking places much more enjoyable. The game is simple and fun, and I look forward to seeing it grow. Some criticism: Obtaining coins is ridiculously difficult, requiring a lot of effort to obtain a single coin, which is worthless on its own as shop prices range in the 100s and above. Definitely hit a lot of max’s very quickly (nectar and flower count, mainly) though that might just be my investment in the game. Definitely worth a play. From what I’ve heard, the game will only receive more content going forth as well!

Virtually Unplayable. I’ve been playing this every day since its launch (Oct. 2021-Jan. 2023), participated in every Community Day, and have done all of the daily lookbacks (including uploading daily photos) for its entire 16-month run so far. It started off well enough but the game crashes and freezes so much that I spend more time waiting for the screen to load or for the app to work as it should. The developers have conceded that this has been a recurring problem for this app, but after nearly 6 months of it happening, it doesn’t feel like it’s enough of a priority for them to fix. It’s time for me to abandon this app as the investment just doesn’t justify the endgame. Fix the freezing and crashing, and I’ll possibly play again.

YES YES YES! download this game!!. To a lot of people, this game may seem pretty boring and useless but to me it’s help me get out of bed every morning and be able to live a healthier life than I was before. They are so cute and fun to hatch. I’ve named all of mine different and cool things, I love being able to go to different places and whenever you hatch one of them, it says the name where you got it from. They’re almost like little souvenirs. I cannot stress enough how much I want to convince people to download this game, on the surface it seems like you would have to pay for a lot of stuff, but actually you don’t. I’ve had this game for a while now and I haven’t gotten one purchase pop-up ad since I’ve played. Please. Download. This. Game.

The game is really cute!. I really like Pikmin bloom. It’s a really fun game! You can also collect seeds to get a new Pikmin! All you have to do is walk 1000 steps! It also helps you wanna walk more and that’s good for your health. You can also earn medals and edit your mii character!! And also you can send your Pikmins on expeditions and then when they come back you’ll get something from them! And also you get these yellow things you can feed to them and they can grow a flower on there head! And also you can unlock different colors. I’m pretty sure there’s only 3! The colors; Red, Yellow & Blue! And also if you want to make a goal for how many steps you do the game will count your steps! There’s also weekly challenges! Example: walk 10,000 steps. And you can link your Nintendo account to your game if you would like! :) So, I would recommend the game!

Rewarded for walking. With other walking apps I felt like I was working for praise and most times didn’t feel like walking only to get yelled at about how many more measly steps I could do for the day. With this app I get rewarded by adorable lil pikeman but I get to interact with them as well. I look forward to walking and try to go for the decor ones I don’t have. It’s a nice surprise to see one put on some sort of decor! So many friends and family have joined it. I know, I know….”They are just spying on everything you do!” I get notifications on how many times they access my background in as many days…..but…Who isn’t spying these days? Trust me , you are being watched in so many ways! I’m going to go put my tin foil hat on now…& play Pikmin bloom!

Where to begin?. First of all I have always wanted to play a pikmin game and this one feels very cozy and easy to understand. I personally haven’t been as active as I used to be and find it easier to go outside and run around the neighborhood collecting different types of pikmin. I have never been this motivated before, even with Pokémon go (which I am a big fan of). There are events all the time and new costumes to unlock every month. It makes you feel rewarded for walking and has a really cute diary aspect to it so you can look back and see how you felt, the pictures you chose at the time, and write a little note saying how your day went. This game is wrapped nicely with a beautiful bow and I couldn’t recommend it enough if you need motivation to go outside and collect cute outfits for these little guys.

Another Bad Update. Nintendos at it again, destroying trust in their fans and begging for money to replace it. The rng in this game has never been great. Now there’s gambling. Hard work, loyalty and dedication are not rewarded. Basically there are monthly challenges in which you collect the limited time decor pikmin for that month. For each challenge completed, you were given a gold seedling that can grow into any color pikmin. An incomplete set is an obvious eyesore in your list. In the past you could complete all challenges and not get all the pikmin out of poor design. They proved they could fix this with one (1) month in which all colors were guaranteed if the challenges were completed. Everyone loved this. With the newest challenge it’s even stated that it’s Not guaranteed in this months news, and further lowering the chances of completing the set there’s a wheel to spin after each challenge. And of course you can Buy the pikmin with real money if you don’t get them. Besides the obvious cash grab, this is a big middle finger to hard work. So basically there is a chance that someone could do just 7 challenges in the entire month and get them all, and someone else could do The Entire Set and get maybe 3. On top of that the wheel mechanics are very frustrating. It’s a bad choice. But we all know Nintendo hates their fans so it’s not surprising

Part fitness app, part idle game. After 4 days playing this game, I found myself spending 90%+ of my time either walking around to plant flowers or throwing nectar at Pikmin so they would eat it and make petals so I could plant more flowers. Which is the most *tedius* process. Throw a nectar at your Pikmin. Hope they eat it (I lost about 25% of my nectar because no Pikmin would eat it before it disappeared). Tap their glowing flower to gain 1 petal. Repeat until you have hundreds of petals. You’re supposed to be able to earn coins in game by planting flowers. I never did earn a coin. I had to search online for how it works. Apparently, you have to plant 500 flowers to earn 1 coin. The most I ever planted at once was about 125 flowers, and that took about an hour. There’s no actual game here. The Pikmin don’t do anything except follow you around and grow flowers. It encourages you to walk, so if you’re into that, it might be for you.

Great bones, needs development. I really love competing with my friends with this activity tracker but there are some areas that need improvement. 1. There is limited interaction between players. I wish that I could customize postcards by adding a drawing or picture on the back, and the images used for the postcards are poorly taken so there’s no real incentive for me to send them. I would also like to be able to gift Pikmin to my friends, especially when I am getting the same special characters over again. 2. There is a bug with the detector. They allow you to use it once per day, but the button itself isn’t clickable, as it is only visible for one second if you click on the flower icon, then it disappears. 3. I agree with other users that the types of Pikmin should be more considered for activities for players. For example, the only real advantage is the flying Pikmin are faster but you need a whole group of them. Rock type should be able to smash things open to retrieve items. And battle should be an option to retrieve items as well, where the player needs to walk to certain locations to fight monsters to get higher value items. Overall, this game is a great way to incentivize increased activity, but needs some patching, and incorporating Pikmin gameplay would elevate it from being just a step counter :)

Really Great! I like the new mushroom update. This game is really fun. It is a great way to track my daily activity and to encourage me to walk more. A lot of work definitely went into this game. The Pikmin are adorable, and I love how each decor type/color combo has its own special animation. I like that, unlike with Pokémon go, you don’t need to be constantly checking your phone, you can walk and you don’t really need to worry about what’s happening. I really like that they are adding/improving features and new decor types so the game doesn’t get old. I like how they have changed the mushroom battles so that there is time/incentive for more people to join at once, and that it is based on score now and not how long it takes to beat. I like the difficulty of the battles. I was a little disappointed when they reduced the time it takes and that the small ones are now overwhelmingly likely to appear. I understand why they did it since it wasn’t working for areas with low player density, but I also hope that this is just a temporary solution while they rework some things. I haven’t really had any issues with bugs thus far.

Getting worse. This is an okay game. It gets pretty frustrating. -The animations take forever. Having to watch the same cutscenes over and over again is frustrating. You can’t really go in and get the petals going without 2 minutes of watching pikmin come back from an expedition. -Storage can only be upgraded by spending real money. The pikmin cap is quickly reached and can’t be improved unless you want to spend money on a small upgrade. -The time petals last is getting shorter. At first the 200 petal max would last a little over an hour but now the 200 max and replenishing the petals while active lasts about 55 minutes. And now some pikmin just won’t take the nectar. They just straight up ignore you. I liked the app for a while but the developers just want to restrict more and more. I’m deleting now after 4 months of playing.

Good but it glitches. I love this app, it definitely inspires me to get out and walk and explore, but sometimes the connection is awful (even when I have signal!) and I have lost THREE seedlings because I’ve gotten home after a walk and tried to pluck them, but it says the connectivity is low and it just loses the Pikmin I just grew. It’s the second of space after I pluck it and before it lands. I guess maybe it’s trying to reconnect to the wifi, but I turned the wifi off and it will still wait until I try to pluck the Pikmin and then glitch and say low connectivity, and then it just freezes and and I lose it forever. It doesn’t come back when I refresh the app. It’s pretty disheartening to put in that effort for it to just be wasted. Again, it’s not my signal or my wifi. I guess I just have to restart the app before I try plucking a grown Pikmin, but it’s frustrating to have to do that.

Cute Walking Game. IN SHORT: non-competitive, slow-paced PoGo that doesn’t punish you for how much you engage. I’ve never played Pikmin before but the little guys are pretty cute. Hoping for more updates! THE GOOD: I feel like this game was designed to “fix” a lot of the major criticisms of PoGo as well as hop on the mindfulness trend. Rewards take much less time and less walking. Steps count instead of distance, so run on that treadmill all you want! You can journal pictures, writing, and in-game stickers. And so far I don't feel like I NEED to buy more than the $2 start pack that I wanted to buy on my own. CRITICISM: Please have a sound or vibration when Pikmin find items, finish growing, or come back from expeditions. Having to figure it out myself encourages me to stare at my screen constantly instead of enjoy my walk.

Great, chill Pikmin Game. So this game is quite similar to aspects of Pokémon Go, but less stressed and involved. It makes full use of the “Adventure Mode” system to track steps while the app isn’t open, and that’s most of the game. Send dudes on expeditions for more items or seedlings, walk to hatch them, pluck them and name them. Very, very chill. My only qualm right now is that as I got some Pikmin to max friendship, the sticker decoration is all the same. Most of my Pikmin will be from the roadside, so they’ll mostly have stickers, and all look the same; branded with the letter D. For an adult who finds most expeditions while driving to and from work, I at least with the letter on the sticker Pikmin was randomized, just so that the mechanic to keep them unique doesn’t actually just make them all the same.

An Amazing, Genuine Game. I downloaded this game in January of 2022 while I was at a very low point in my life. I cannot begin to explain how much this game has improved my mental and physical health. The pikmin are adorable and frankly give me something to look forward to each day. I have shown my family Pikmin Bloom and have persuaded many of my family members to download it. My grand-aunt, for example, had a bad smoking habit and was also at a low mental point. After downloading this, however, she has become much more active and vocalizes how excited she is about the game and what it has in store for her. It is a very fun and friendly game, but it can also be a genuine method of improving your life. I highly recommend that people play Pikmin Bloom.

Really good, bugs are very frequent though.... I love this game, it's lifelogging feature is really nice, and it has gotten me out of the house a lot more often. My issue lies with its bugs. A less egregious example is that when I open the game, there will sometimes be a Pikmin zooming everywhere. It glitched and the Pikmin is stuck freaking out. The bad one was that I had a friendship level 4 Pikmin ready to give me a gift. I sent it to get the gift, and it brought it back, however, when I tapped on it the gift didn't open... the Pikmin just kept holding the gift... I kept clicking and it kept doing nothing so I closed the app and re-opened it, and the gift was completely gone. I love this game to death, but I work so hard to individually increase friendship in my Pikmin and to get nothing in return via a bug kinda sucked...

Game is heading in the wrong direction :(. I absolutely love this game but sometimes it gets very unmotivating and frustrating, especially with the pikmin decor special events and leveling up. I haven’t been so upset with the new update in the store changes though. I would save up coins and use them to buy more pikmin storage but due to the recent update, it costs 440 coins instead of the usual 180. On a normal day, I can get 7 coins at most. And flowers aren’t easy to come by as well. I dislike getting rid of my pikmin resulting in me getting stuck on multiple missions and on the same level for long periods of time. I’ve come to realize the game is becoming more of a pay-to-play game than something to enjoy in your free time. I find it very disappointing and saddening because I would love to play this game like I did before! I have talked with other players, and we share the same sentiments. Please change it back! ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

helped motivate me. I’ve gotten out of the house more and now my family goes on walks together. My mom loves the app and gushes over how cute the pikmin are. Whenever we go somewhere we always plant flowers together and destroy mushrooms together. It’s a lot of fun to bond as a family over this while also being active. I get excited to go on walks because I can get my steps in and grow a new buddy! Only thing I wish they add is more decor pikmin in the future, a way to get more blue nectar, or a way to cash out nectar and petals if they’re full. I’ve come across that if you go on challenges but don’t walk and plant flowers constantly you’ll quickly stockpile 200 of each red, yellow, and white petals and nectar, but hardly any blue. I get at most 4 blue nectar and I’m not sure why. I look forward to any updates!

Good Game but not Perfect. I Enjoy this game and it motivates me to wake up earlier in the day and explore, which I intend to do but as all free games go there is a pay wall it would’ve been nice to make the Pikmin Storage just a tad bit larger then the 300 we get but I have to expect that from Niantic & Nintendo so I’m not surprised, no worries I will buy more and support this game as it motivates me to be rewarded for walking unlike Pokémon GO which it’s hard to get a reward off Pokémon GO unless you live in Manhattan. Which is why this game in my opinion is way better than Pokémon GO for now atleast. As a avid Nintendo and Pokémon Fan this game has more sense of accomplishment and rewards for walking then Pokémon GO and I adore that the main focus is walking not pokestops or gyms to gain rewards no walking very good. 4/5 (it would be 5/5 if the pay wall wasn’t such a bummer for younger players wanting to fill up places with flowers.

Great game but they need to nurture it.. As it stands for a game about collection there isn’t much to collect unless you live in a place with a lot of economic diversity. The pikmin decor is fun and addicting to get and they have added more but they need to keep adding more or this game will get stale. Also the maps are very inaccurate in terms of locations… I got a cafe pikmin and decided to get more and I stood right outside the cafe and played for awhile and it acted like the cafe wasn’t even there. Last but not least, Niantic severely nurfed the friendship exp gain which is how you get pikmin their decor… this was a very bad decision. Other than these issues it’s a very addicting and charming walking title and is a nice fresh feeling away from Pokémon go.

Was fun, now a slog. I loved playing pikmin boom, but with the most recent update it’s become an absolute slog. The new mushroom update makes playing arduous. A large mushroom with all five spaces filled still takes longer than 2 DAYS to complete. At the very least the rewards for this should be commensurate. Even a small mushroom takes at least six hours to complete. I liked the casual, easy aspect of the game. It used to be so relaxing and I enjoyed that it was a mostly solo game that I didn’t need to rely on others for. I liked having the option to interact with other player, but not have to if I didn’t want to. Now with all the events and the change in mushroom play, especially since it now essentially forces player interaction to be able to finish a challenge in a semi-reasonable time, I find myself beginning to resent the game. If changes like this keep happening I don’t foresee myself playing much longer.

Good Mobile game for what it is. I think the gameplay loop of walking around, growing new pikmin, then sending those out on expeditions so you can find fruits and more pikmin is fun but it could be better. I think the addition of boss battles or just small groups of enemies could give this game the longevity it’s looking for. The ability to throw Pikmin would be right at home within Bloom with the ability to flick the screen to throw them onto enemies. It would probably be smart to make it a feature that if Pikmin die in these battles, instead of losing them forever, they come back in a few hours good as new. I also believe that Niantic should take the opportunity that Pikmin 4 presented to add Ice Pikmin and Glow Pikmin but I know that is an obvious request from any Pikmin fan.

Amazing App, but I have a suggestion!. I had never played a pikmin game previous to the 3rd game that came out for the switch and after playing that one I fell in love with pikmin, so this app coming out has been amazing. The interface is lovely and very true to the pikmin spirt. The AR feature is so so cute and the idea of planting flowers everywhere is just so perfect. I could honestly ramble about this app for a while, but I had a small suggestion. I feel like a widget would be perfect for this app considering its a step counter, maybe seeing a favorited pikmin with the current step count? Or maybe even being able to start planting flowers from the widget? I just feel like some type of widget being added in a future update would be really lovely. Thank you!

New Mushroom Update 12/14. TL;DR The game is an adorable pedometer with inventive to walk, find new places, and interact with people. Pikmin Bloom is a game all about exploring. As you do, you’ll grow Pikmin that follow you, gather fruit, and will plant flowers (they show you your paths and decorate the game around you). As you find new Pikmin, you can feed them nectar to grow their friendship, and eventually they get a “decor”. Decor are essentially little trinkets related to where you found them, like a toothbrush from a pharmacy. Additionally, there are group walking and flower planting challenges in which you can invite friends from anywhere to gain a collective step and flower planted amount for rewards. There are also mushroom challenges (from level 15 up) that let you team up with other players to tale down mushrooms and earn nectar rewards. Recently, they updated mushrooms challenges, but the community was upset because the update made mushrooms take too long to complete. However, the developers listened, and now they are at a happy middle ground with how long they take to complete. This is a great casual game for people looking for a reason to get up and move more. Happy planting!

Fun all around. This is definitely one of my favorite walking games I’ve tried. It doesn’t punish you for not getting “enough steps” but it it definitely encourages you to get more steps with all the fun awards it offers. It’s also fun to interact with my family who have the app as well, by sending postcards and working on mushrooms! (I wish you could send messages along with the postcards though) It also feels like little community, because you can see where others have planted flowers ☺️ I look forward to future updates because I think there are a lot of cool features that could be added! (Messaging, more customization, improved journal/mood tracker, etc.) Overall very happy I downloaded 😊👍

Love this Game. What a change from Pokemon Go. I love that you work WITH people to battle mushrooms instead of battling other players. My small town has some nasty POGO players that turn the town blue and within seconds of defeating their gym they’re back in, even though there is no one else around 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Pikmin Bloom has really brought joy to my life. I walk more (over 1.4m steps since June) and I now love going on 5 mile walks and making my town beautiful with big blooms. The only thing that I wish is that we could increase storage (wish we pay for) beyond the current limits. I’m at Level 57 and already find myself hitting those limits. I’m happy to pay for the upgrades as this game brings much happiness to my life.

New Mushroom update has killed the game. The recent update mushrooms is ridiculous. The game is no longer fun when it takes hours upon hours to do a SMALL mushroom, good luck if you want to do a Large mushroom, you better have 4 other friends to play with or it’s will take literal DAYS to take down the mushroom. But don’t worry, even with 5 people it will still take a few hours. And the rewards for defeating a mushroom are a joke as well. 35 white nectar for 3+ hr mushroom fight? Sounds fair to me….. Niantic, this game will never be Pokémon GO as far as popularity, expecting people to always have people to play with to do the only interactive activity in the game is beyond asinine. Good luck if you live in a rural area, I live in a city and it’s difficult to find anyone else that plays as it is. All in all it is a fun game to play as you take walks or explore your area, but this new update killed the fun that there was to have.

I guess it’s all in who you ask.. There’s no challenge. There’s no critters to attack each other. There’s nothing to do at the big plants. If I wanted an app to keep track of my pictures I would’ve downloaded a photo album. There’s so much more that this game could have that the other game does have. These are the words from a six-year-old who I let play and they find this game so stinking boring. He’s like let’s go back and sit on the couch and play the real one. Do you know how sad that is when this app could have so much more potential and learning aspects. He was like watching paint dry is more exciting. Also more fun. I am adding to this have to see that this app is more for old people who are not liking a faster paced game. This was not geared toward kids that are fast paced I like to move a lot this is geared toward the people that just wanna sit relax and do nothing. Like I said this game has way more potential and yet it’s not even reaching it.

Fun and Actually Gets You to Walk!. Although I love Pokémon Go after the first few months and community days I stopped waking around, I’d either drive or sit in a coffee shop and let a lure do the work but this game actually keeps you active. It’s made to where your attention is not completely glued to the screen at all times and works in the background instead, only alerting you if you’ve grown a Pikmin or and exposition has been complete. This way you can pop in some headphones and go for a jog and comeback and see progress without being distracted 24/7. The idea works for almost everyone, even people who aren’t huge Pikmin or Nintendo fans, it’s just a cute way to track your steps throughout the day. This game is wonderful and definitely gets my steps up!

First app to make walking fun. This app has finally gotten me excited to walk and be active. I was pulled in as I was previously a huge Pikmin fan, and while this wasn’t what I was expecting, I’m glad that the app is the way it is. I have tried Pokémon go in the past, and while it’s fun, I never felt like I had to walk anywhere or play. I could simply open up the game at the house, catch a few Pokémon, and be done. When I did try to play while walking I had to constantly look at my phone. Pikmin Bloom is different in that most of the time you’ll start planting flowers and then put the phone away and just enjoy your walk. Then, once you’ve finished, you can check in and see what new items you’ve found, which new Pikmin you’ve grown, and if you’ve leveled up. A perfect companion app for walking, can’t wait to see what’s added next!

Fun but very frustrating at times. The game has some fun ideas but they are not executed nearly as well as Pokémon Go (by the same developer). The rate at which you gain coins is dismally slow. 5 coins is a good day for me but the first time I wanted to buy something it was 300 coins. At my rate of playing (about an hour a day) it will take 2 months to afford anything. The user interface is confusing to navigate. Some basic and important things are hidden unless you remember where to swipe. The Home Screen isn’t a good navigation starting point. Some of the events are not well planned. The current event is St Patrick’s Day and challenge #4 is planting 1500 blue flowers. There just aren’t any to be found. I manage only 10-20 some days. I’ve been stuck on it for 10 days now as the event end gets closer. Very frustrating and annoying.

Pikmin bloom review. I love this app so much! It really makes me happy to explore the world with my little Pikmin. but I have and interesting idea, I think there should be a way to have a bulborb den and it’s a bit of a gamble,take down the bulborbs and get great rewards but sadly lose a few of your best friends but maybe get a seedling out of pity… Anyway the decor Pikmin are adorable and I love them but as a note can you make the detector more Accurate? There have been multiple times where I have walked by a park or something like that and wasn’t able to have a chance for a decor seedling. Overall the game is wonderful and it’s doesn’t have many features but it’s already better than Pokémon go so keep up the great work ( and tell Nintendo make Pikmin four) :)

Great for mental health. It’s always nice to walk outside but there’s not really much reason to these days. Especially if you're working/ taking classes online. This app is a great motivator for taking a relaxing stroll. And once you’re outside, it’s hard to stop planting flowers and collecting fruit from your cute Pikmin companions. There’s always something to work toward in the game like the weekly challenges, leveling up, growing new Pikmin, and more. One of my favorite features is the daily look-back that shows you how much you walked, as well as the little journal that allows you to talk about the highlights of your day in 300 characters. The game is adorable and is helping me stay positive, motivated and present. Also I forgot to mention there are so many Pikmin types you can collect. They are all so adorable!

It’s helping with my memory loss.. It’s a shame so many people 1 star this game because their phones crash the app. I haven’t experienced a single bug and enjoy the content so far. It’s not as complex as a regular Pikmin game, but it IS a phone app. And despite Niantic having a habit of releasing unfinished games, there’s only so much you can do for a phone game at launch. Anyway; It’s the most personalized pedometer I’ve used, and the daily logging feature has been assisting me in my memory loss. Plus growing up with the games makes me feel like I finally have my own Pikmin. I feel like there’s a lot of potential for future updates adding new and exciting challenges. I can’t wait to see what becomes of this.

Couldn’t even play the game. So the game it not working I can’t sign up or log in. I tried to sign in with Nintendo and I selected my account. That wasn’t the problem though. After word a notification pops up that says “To use this app, you will need to get permission to use your location” so I was like okay I’ll just go to settings and allow it to track my location like Pokémon go. So I changed it and I did the same process however the same message showed up so I though it might not have updated yet to I completely got out of the app and got back in. The same message showed up so I’d checked the faq but it was no help at all. So I couldn’t even play the game😢. The only reason I gave it one star is it hase a cute loading screen also my phone is in fact compatible with this game so I don’t understand why it’s not working💢. Please fix this glitch so I can play the game

I love it, but there are certain mechanics that need to be added or don’t make sense. The entire game is amazing, but it lacks a few special things that everybody needs. Stomping on pikmin and in AR mode would be hilarious. It would be so funny. Of course, the rock pikmin would survive due to their ability in Pikmin 3. Also pikmin that are not blue or pink pikmin should not be able to grab items that are above water. It does not make sense. Also it would be AMAZING if you could collect cool artifacts that reference other games or real life objects. One last thing… Pikmin should obviously be able to go on expeditions to steal a Samsung tv or grab you a snack from Starbucks. (Then it should mail you the item that your pikmin have stolen… I MEAN DISCOVERED! ) That is all for my review.

A real working idle step counter. Loving the game so far, a step counter that honestly works & helps to keep me motivated throughout the day to get my steps in. I have only one issue, when sending my pikmin on a challenge it auto picks…now thats wouldn’t be a problem, but the go button is right on top of the pikmin in the bottom right corner. This means I have to be very careful when I want to unselect them or I’ll send my pikmin on their mission prematurely sometimes even just one poor little guy by themselves & it’s even worse if it’s a normal or large mushroom, which seriously drops the amount of reward. A fix to this happening would be moving the location of the go button to the top right corner above the pikmin selection screen. Other than that it’s a great & fun game.

The flowers disappear. I LOVED this game. I suggested it to every friend I knew once I figured out how to work it myself. Anywhere I went I had my phone pulled out to play, until I figured out that your flowers disappear… I was getting so excited to watch my neighborhood fill with flowers, showing my progress and how much I’ve walked, until I started noticing that they were disappearing and my “ flower bed “ wasn’t as full as it used to be. I looked it up, and it is true, your flowers disappear after 5 days. That makes no sense to me at all. I thought the whole point of the game was for you and your friends to cover the world in flowers… I seriously loved every single aspect of this game. I wrote and have pictures on every single day of the “ diary”, but ever since I figured this out, I just see no point in playing. Very disappointing, I truly loved this game.

All the fun no Epicness. I love the Pikmin games hoping for a Pikmin 4 so far it’s like a walking exercise game mostly don’t mind that Pokémon the Witcher in The Walking Dead but what I’m hoping for is that it’s not all pay to play I can’t move around like I want to at the moment but when I do I’m going to enjoy my self. The only thingI really want in the game is the battling system I see you added the fighting mushroom but do you eat come by levels are you have to have a lot of Pikmin and even so what about the first enemy in the game like you don’t have to have all the enemies just like a enemy for each color Pikmin what about some puzzle solving or treasure hunting or sending a pic went out to go bring something back like doing missions if it’s Pikmin I want them to do all that they’re able to hate you only gave us two spots and not the onion that repopulate them but still this is a new game let’s see how it goes.!?😌

Lags terribly, unusable. I want to play this game, because it was fun back when it worked, but the lagging is ridiculous and seems to be getting worse. I tried searching online for solutions and instead found a bunch of people having the same problem. It takes ages to load, barely runs once it’s up, and crashes often. I can’t plant flowers on my walk unless I want to take five or ten minutes before leaving to coax the game into letting me start the flower planting - and lately even that’s no guarantee. One of my favorite things to do in this game is getting postcards from mushrooms in fun places, but it’s just not worth stopping my walk and staring at this app’s loading screen for five minutes, only to have it crash on me immediately anyway. This game’s always been laggy, but it’s somehow been getting worse and worse over time. I keep hoping it’ll at least go back to its previous level of just-be-patient lag, but at this point it freezes up, crashes, or refuses to even open so much that the game just can’t be played.

Honestly, it used to be better.. Lately (I’m not sure if it’s an IOS update, a Pikmin Bloom update, or a function of increasing difficulty due to leveling up) earning coins has become even more difficult. I use Pikmin Bloom and plant flowers when I walk, and I try to keep my pace above 3 mi/h (5km/h). When my pace exceeds that amount I get the warning that I’m going too fast to plant flowers, as if I am in a vehicle and not walking. The number of flowers I can plant has been throttled back. The frustration I’m feeling is reducing my enjoyment of the game. Pikmin Bloom, as compared to Pokémon Go, has always been more work to earn coins for spending by playing the game while having higher cost per unit in the store. No big. I get it, Niantic has to make money somewhere, but I’m not going to be the person who spends real money to achieve virtual goals.

Game is really fun, but has a lot of bugs and needs improvement. The game is really fun to play when your on the go. However I am making this review solely for bugs and some stuff that really irritates me. First of all, there should be a confirmation tab that pops up when you are about to send pikmin out on a challenge. Just a few minutes ago I was going to start up a challenge on a large mushroom, and as I am going through my pikmin, I had only selected one and accidentally somehow pressed “GO!”… and only one pikmin was sent out immediately. I dont have an option to cancel it and it would be very nice to have an confirmation tab pop up before sending out pikmin, incase problems like that happen. That really bummed me out, and now I wasted a challenge attempt that will take forever to complete.
