Bubbu review

Bubbu is a cat care game aimed at young children, with a lot of role play around the basic routine. The App Store listing asks you to feed, dress, cuddle and bathe Bubbu from morning to midnight so he is never hungry, sleepy, sick or bored. Around that sit an animal hospital where you play vet, a spa, beauty and nail salon, a showroom for outfits and a house to decorate, plus a garden, a cow to milk, a car to drive and a rocket trip to space. More than 30 mini-games, such as Fish Ninja and Cat Connect, earn food or coins. It is rated 4+, supports Family Sharing for some purchases and also runs on Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision Pro. Value scores lower because the listing offers weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions and shows ads for Bubadu and third parties, and packs start at $1.99. We compared documented features and published prices.
