With the new update you can no longer play in landscape. Uh? Please change this back or at least give a choice. The game is no longer true to form.
Great Game, can be improved (My suggestions)

I downloaded this game with my 3 other friends of mine and have had a blast of nostalgia and fun playing. However think the battle system/muscle system needs to be reworked. I love the idea of the ranked system it pairs you with other players based on muscle found in settings, however this is flawed. Muscle determines who wins a battle. when you check the muscle in you too left stat button you have full muscle hearts at around 12-13 which resets on each evolution. Regardles of that you can check the settings there is no cap on the muscle you can have I am sitting at around 113 muscle and there are no players to fight with. because hardly anyone trains to 113 muscle this lead my friend to grind to me so we can grind evolution battles to get to 30 to get a mega digimon. We both have the same mistake amount i have where garurumon and he has the veemon evolution line (the new egg) and beats me nearly every time. which leads me to believe that monsters have some hidden base muscle on top of what they actually train to.(however this is just a theory) What i suggest is a cap on muscle per tier of digimon in addition to an random amount of muscle randomized each battle. Like listed below. The numbers in the parenthesis is randomly is a randomly generated added muscle to your base muscle so you there is a chance you still win against someone with a base muscle close to your monsters. In training muscle cap: 40 +(1-20) Rookie: 50 +(1-20) Champion: 60 +(1-20) Ultimate: 70 +(1-20) Mega: 80 +(1-20) This system allows for more competitive and fair battles and allows for a small chance for you to beat a monster an evolve above you. it would also be cool idea to increase the max of your randomizer cap by +1 each time you win a ranked battle this will reset on each evolve. This also gives incentive to keep battling to get stronger once you get to mega.(and would increase the sale of monster revive without making the game pay to win.(explained below) This would also lead to more players to be seen in the ranked system I saw the most players around 20-30muscle and some megas when i was at 40 then i saw less and less people in ranked as I increased my muscle. Ex a mega that has won 12 battles stats would look like this: 80+(1-32) This would also increase BP restore sales or Ad Watching (good marketing) for people who are really hardcore about Ranked should que you with people by your base potential muscle so you don’t get stomped by the same person over and over and maintain competition. to get this number add (base muscle + median randomizer) so the monster with (80+1-32) would have a ranked muscle stat of 906) (32/2=16) 80+16=96 and you can obviously vs people within your range of battle which i believe is +-10 currently but should be increased to +-20 with the numbers ive used in my review. This negates the pay to win of people constantly reviving thier mega if they get to far ahead of others there will be less people for them to battle and get even further ahead. some of my favorite digimon are also supposed to be innately weaker for your poor care choices. But these are some of my favorite monsters ex: the leomon line i would just have them have a starting randomizer of (1-15) as opposed to (1-20) that way even though you did make poor evolve choices. you can get competitive with your favorite digimon dispite your them being “mistake monsters” The thought of a really powerful mega numemon is amazing. I also have suggestions s on methods of training i know training one gives you +1 muscle and a perfect score gives you +2 training 2 is much more rng and is much harder to achieve a perfect score in my opinion if you get a perfect score in training 2 it should give you +4 take that into account when you create future training methods might also be a good idea to give +1 base muscle on the victory of any battle, so it’s not such a training grind to get to your monster to its base muscle caps listed, but this won’t exceed the base muscle cap of your evolve rank unlike the randomizer increase. (especially since i’ve encountered most players at 20-30 muscle.) love the game keep the updates coming more eggs, more options than 2 types of training. device customization options The game will definitely get more popular this way. another way for sales without being pay to win is new color skins and backgrounds for your device or just have 2 eggs free and make some cost 99 Cents to unlock considering monsters are just skins and steer away from pay to evolve (this is somewhat pay to win) also you currently have a bug that when you lose a ranked battle it only counts toward your unranked battle. - a fellow game dev :)
Almost perfect!

I’ve tried every app i could find like this. For both iPhone and Android. This one is by far the most stable/feature packed. There’s only one thing i would ask for... a pause feature. As an adult i don’t always have the time to tend to this thing perfectly or have to be in bed before it goes to sleep ?
Leader board
Dolla559
We need a leader board to have a good competitive game it’ll be more fun and more people would want to be rank#1 so it’ll give them something to look forward to.
The games awesome but
Equalnox
The game is awesome I love that we can battle online because I don’t have a group of friends with the physical version but the only change I would like it to know what the name of the evolution is for instance vegimon next evolution I can’t tell who he is and I can’t find information about it other then that love the game
Amazing

Honestly, if I could give this 6 stars I would. Out of all the tamagotchi's, the Digimon one was always my favorite because it added a purpose. Not only could you raise your pet like any other tamagotchi, but it also allowed you to put your training and hard work to the test in a battle against your friends. This app does a great job at recreating that. Every detail is pretty much exactly as I remember it, except better. Retromon does a great job keeping that nostalgic feel, while adding nice little details like the different kinds of foods when you feed your pet, or the many different attack visuals specific to each monster. Retromon also did an amazing job in creating a fun, and competitive, well balanced battle system that works great. I have not come across any problems so far with the Online Battle system. The ranked and unranked battle system provides a little fun for everyone, and the new lobby and arena concept makes it that much more fun and visually appealing. The only "downside" is that there are ads, but not only do they rarely pop up, they are also relatively short ads and you can usually exit out of them very quickly, so I wouldn't even really call it much of a downside... These ads are nowhere near as annoying as many other games I've played, so I really don't mind them. If you really don't want any ads at all tho, there is an option in the shop to pay for the ad free version. All in all, The app is superb and the closest thing to a real digimon tamagotchi. If you're looking for a solid app to give you that nostalgic feel, and that works perfectly, Retromon is by far the best choice in my honest opinion.
How low can you go...
high on sugar
Rip off of the v pet come on people this is not original and calling them monsters call them what they are digimon
Not the original
Dargpup
The first release had the game simulate the original pets. But now it’s changed. There needs to be an option to change it between different digivices and original vs improved battling, as I don’t like the new mechanics. They’re good but takes getting used to and I’d rather go back to the old style.
