I love this app. I love the creativity and the (until now) egalitarian nature of the competitions. I do not like the chocolates thing. A paid option is totally fine and I like the idea of extra kinds of stores, but keep them decorative like the cat so that we all still have the same chances, free or not. Same thing with skipping the wait times. And what's with halving the return value of items?? I was hoping for an update that fixed bugs, not this :( Also, there's a bug on the entry/calorie refresh screen where the text pushes the "done" button off the screen, so I have to keep closing & restarting it until I get one where I can press it. I put in a bug report about it like last week I think? I just figured I'd put it in the review in case this gets seen first!

I was looking for an app that incentivized calorie burning, so that I’d feel more motivated to meet my exercise goals. I downloaded 3 apps including this one. As a lover of games like The Sims and Animal Crossing, this app held my attention the most. I also enjoy making pixel art, so being able to do so and that also being incentivized made me enjoy the app more. I also like that I can interact with my husband on the app, as we are both using it as a weight loss tool. At this point, even if the game weren’t free anymore, as long as the price is reasonable, I’d pay. I use it every day. That being said, the app is not perfect. As others have mentioned, there are occasional bugs. There also isn’t a wide selection of items made by Breezer. This wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t also have the rule that player-made items must look distinctly different from Breezer-made items. This problem has 0 impact on my ability to enjoy this game though, as my priority is making my calorie goals immediately tangible so that I don’t lose interest in my goals. I don’t need to spend a ton of time customizing in this game. That would just distract me and keep me from exercising. Plus, I have other video games for that.

I have never, ever kept up with a game app until I downloaded Breezer. The premise might seem trivial, but this is literally my favorite app ever! It brings me so much joy to design a cute little store every month! Depression and anxiety have made it hard to get up and be active, but this app has helped me move more and be proud of myself for even just a little more walking which has helped me feel better even on my worst days. I also adore how the app’s creator listens to and interacts with the users, as I and several others had expressed concerns about certain aspects of past updates that were quickly heard and remedied in a manner that kept up the new features but in a way that was more user-friendly. I would 100% recommend this app to everyone!
