The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, despite having paid to remove them.

- “Really awesome other than the pay-to-win microtransactions.”
- “The app itself is a pretty nice replica of the old digivices, but it's a blatant money grab with obnoxious fullscreen video ads popping up out of the blue and the ability to just pay for evolutions.”
- “You spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”

The gameplay is praised for its faithful emulation of the classic Digimon v-pet devices, maintaining core mechanics while introducing some subtle sprite differences. However, recent updates have introduced pay-to-win elements and harsh mechanics that detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration among players.
- “Good emulation of the old Digimon V-Pet devices; the mechanics seem faithful to the original V-Pets, with some subtle differences in the sprites that I remember well.”
- “I understand the desire for the next game to have more stunning graphics and more outstanding mechanics.”
- “Whereas games like this or Missile Command: Recharged, the mechanics are just about having a jam, stopping for a while, making some toast, then having another jam and going for glory.”

- “The harsh mechanics killed your monster?”
