Kotori Live Wallpaper (v. 1.6.3) Разработано Tobias W. Kjeldsen |
Take time to read instructions here, or better, when installed (click app icon). You need to take good care of your Kotori! ;)
!! INFO !!
Text-message, call and email permissions are needed by Kotori in order to give you notices of changes... without them Kotori would not be able to help your with notifications ;) Also does not require internet permissions--ie. you're safe.
If you love Tamagotchi, or the idea behind caring for a virtual pet, you'll definitely love Kotori! Kotori is a dynamic experience with lots of depth and charm; unlike many other live wallpapers.
Kotori will:
*Notify you on email, text messages, missed calls and others things
*React to different events on your phone; ie. music playback, battery and more
*Age like a creature (also when your phone is in deep-sleep)
*Sleep when needed; approx. every 8 hours (varies)
*Need food; you need to feed Kotori with icons (it's easier to give food when Kotori is flying... the mood indicates food need) You can also use the "feeding" widget
*Die if you ignore feeding :(
*Need a bath regularly
*Poo; you need to clean it up
*Talk to you
*Gain strength when flying (tap the clouds)
*Gain extra strength when your phone is charging
*Better strength; fly higher
*Get a house at 4 days of age (construction begins earlier)
*Further upgrades to house as Kotori ages
*Dynamic world; rain, sun/moon day/night according to real world time
*Blossoming flowers; dynamically growing flowers that will evolve, age and eventually die. Rain results in faster growth. Spawn is random, so look out for shoots ;)
*An owl will appear sometimes; giving out various tips
*Various dynamic holiday events; such as easter and christmas
*Replicating the original Tamagotchi-style
Remember to check out the live wallpaper settings--can be done under the live wallpaper selection screen.
Who and what is Kotori? Kotori is Japanese for "little bird". Kotori is a creature living on your wallpaper; also when your phone is sleeping. Kotori will sleep, eat, talk, and age -- it is your job to keep Kotori well-fed and healthy. The scenery itself will also change depending on the time of the day. Kotori will also help you; Kotori will let you know if you have a new text message, email, missed call or notice if your device is low on battery and much more. All artwork is authentically hand-drawn on paper with the use of a graphite pencil!
More features are still being added! Have an idea? Request it by sending an email!
Upcoming additions;
*Google Calendar integration
Write to me with ideas!
Kotori uses a MINIMAL amount of CPU cycles -- saving your phone's precious battery.
Please rate and comment! Please send me a personal email if you have any problems instead of promptly giving 1 star ;)
!! Some stock launcher have problems with certain events, thus making it impossible to feed Kotori. You can use the included "feeding" widget instead !!

[2013-01-28] A Google User: Good lifewallpaper Thanks,developer team:)) It is the best lifewallpaper!! Very lovely:)) |
|
[2013-01-21] A Google User: Wonderful Experience Definitely worth what I paid... a enjoyable wallpaper |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: My HTC One X I Love this app, but I can't feed the little guy. Please fix this !! |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: Difficulty feeding... Installed the app but had a few problems feeding the Kotori. I emailed the developer and the issue was resolved very quickly and I now have the feeding icon. Minus the problems the mentioned – great little app! |
|
[2013-01-11] A Google User: Really nice! I've got to echo some of the other reviews and say that while this is a very cute and well made wallpaper, it would be even better if there was an option for faster animation. |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: I love it I love this live background and the fact that it's in sync with the time of day is cool, I was wondering if you could also sync with the local weather? It'd be cool if the weather outside reflected the weather on my phone with katori. Thanks for an awesome background :-D |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Awwww.. Crashed The idea is great and was excited to download it but when I try to set it as wallpaper it freezes my phone. |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Great but a couple of problems Need some improvements. First When my bird lands, he lands to close to the bottom and I have a samsung galaxy s3. Second when I get an email, txt, etc. It takes a while for my bird to notify me. Your should add a way for the bird to experience what weathet I'm having. I will come back and give yall 5 stars when you fix this thank you and have a great day. |
|
[2012-12-26] A Google User: Cute Cute live wallpaper pet. Those complaining about feeding, use the feed widget, those wanting more customization email the dev. with ideas. |
|
[2012-12-25] A Google User: Great! Its adorable and keeps me entertained. It'd be cool if there were more options on decorating. |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Fix Force Close.. Always "stopped unexpectedly" im using htc desire Custom ROM. Can u fix it? |
|
[2012-12-18] A Google User: tweet,tweet I love this!! The originality in making this LWP with a unique look. Love the artistic drawing and having the interactions with Kotori. Thank you for your hard work and time making this.. I love it :D Update: love the Christmas tree. Merry Christmas Kotori.. |
|
[2012-12-17] A Google User: I enjoy taking care of kotori Get this wallpaper if you like watching this little guy live on your phone. I show my friends at work and they laugh, but I love it! |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Sucks I still cant get it to eat. I emailed Tobias in he never responded. Would have been a great app. Galaxy 111 |
|
[2012-12-14] A Google User: Does not work I was finally able to download this app on my phone but now I can't feed the Kotori or do anything else. It won't allow me to drop an icon on it and a feed button does not appear. It is stuck on the same screen. I don't really see much interacting with this app. I am disappointed. I tried contacting but no response. |
|
[2012-12-12] A Google User: Like it but.. On my Samsung GS3 Kotori is near the page scroller, so I cannot interact well. If fixed and able to change background colors woyld be a *****! |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: Cute wallpaper... Could stand to have a little more to do, and also should have options to move him up higher. Hard to click on him and on the ground on Note 2. |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Dissapointing Animation is not smooth Advertisment in notification This is a paid app there shouldnt be any advertisements Not so much features I shouldve refunded this an hour ago when i bought it |
|
[2012-11-21] A Google User: Good I like the concept - very much! But have two complaints. One on my Samsung galaxy s3, kotori is near the button of the screen....way too low, I can barely see him, can u fix that somehow? Second, I don't like wilted flowers, it ain't pretty! They should weed out themselves sooner! Great graphics! Good animations! |
|
[2012-11-13] A Google User: Pucca169 Very cleaver, maybe a different animal to choose and more games for future but great. |
|
[2012-11-11] A Google User: LG Optimus Elite Sweet app... |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Cute, no problems I was worried this might not work on my phone since a lot of things don't, but it does and I enjoy watching the little guy do his thing. It makes my phone a happier place. :) |
|
[2012-10-28] A Google User: Great, but please keep the updates going! Here's what I enjoyed: the art design looks very nice & the comments from the birdy is entertaining. There are also some neat actions that you will need to do to keep it happy & healthy. However, the animation is choppy & although it's not even a day's old, I'm worrisome that its musings will be repetitive. Please Tobias, if you could smooth out the animations & does it recognize holidays? Not sure about that yet... still, enjoying the app thus far. Thanks! |
|
[2012-10-24] A Google User: Galaxy S3 Love this little guy, it's cute and entertaining. Five stars easy! |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Feeding I can't feed the bird how do I do the feeding widget ???? |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Cute but jerky I do really like Kotori, but I wish the movements could be smoother. I Know it's supposed to emulate tamagotchi but it would be so much nicer without the jerky animation. I like the way the weather is reflected in the background but I wish there was more going on, and more interactive activities would be good. |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: Bought for 5mins and loving it but I suggest the day and night contrast be more pronounced. This will imo look really good for Kotori :-* Also, I must applaud developer for integrating apps, processes into the lwp. Its a strong way of setting yourself apart from the rest of the lwps in the market. Great job! |
|
[2012-09-02] A Google User: Amazing Amazing app. Must ignore those who say motion is slow (its replicating authentic tamagotchi style movement) and that it needs to be colourful - its meant to look like its drawn with graphite!! I love it, what a great idea. |
|
[2012-08-23] A Google User: Adorable =o) Adorable app! A few small problems like how sluggish kotori's movements are, the limited interaction with kotori and lack of color in the background.Once these fixes are applied,this will be a 5* app.Keep up the great work. ***Update:My android broke and I bought a Nexus 7 which isn't supported.I will fix my rating when this supports Nexus 7.*** ****Update:Prompt responses from the Dev and he is currently looking into the compatibility issue for Nexus 7 devices!Added a star!Thank you Dev!**** |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: Fantastic If you're looking for a tomagatchi-like wallpaper go no further. This little guy is adorable and very fun to take care of. I'm always excited to see what's going to happen next! |
|
[2012-08-10] A Google User: Darling! Love the artwork and concept of a sketch on paper. you people asking for a bright backround obviously don't get it. Kotori is absolutely charming! |
|
[2012-08-09] A Google User: Adorable Love the app. Only thing id like is for the screen to move smoother as well as more options for personalization. So adorable :) |
|
[2012-08-05] A Google User: Latest update put a smile on my face. :) Thank you. |
|
[2012-07-17] A Google User: Nicely done Make it more colorful with cleaner lines |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Crashes Won't even open on my galaxy nexus. Possibly due to me having jelly bean. I want this fixed! |
|
[2012-07-11] A Google User: I like this, but it needs more color for the background, maybe another friend too. |
|
[2012-07-10] A Google User: Fantastic We love the cute, little fellow. Congrats to the developers. It would be a lot better if the animation was smoother and events & motion happened faster. More interaction possibilities would also be nice. A 'save' option would also be nice. I had to restart my phone and when it was back on, I had to start all over again :( |
|
[2012-06-18] A Google User: So cute! This is fantastic! I'll give it another star when the movements are a little faster. Would also like to be able to use my own backgrounds. :-) |
|
[2012-06-10] A Google User: Awesome It's been 20+ days and I still have this as my live wallpaper, love it! |
|
[2012-05-07] A Google User: !!Cute but too slow I really love this app. but as you know the bird movement is too slow so, if it is fix it would be a lot better |
|
[2012-04-26] A Google User: Cute Absolutely love this wallpaper, no problems with it, would love to see some add ons like more animals to choose from or an activity besides flying just something more involved |
|
[2012-04-20] A Google User: Great idea Just needs to fix the lag when flying then would be a great little app, maybe some extra stuff would also help |
|
[2012-04-18] A Google User: LOVE IT!!!!! animation needs to move smoother and more color would be nice....other than that i love this wallpaper...this is the only thing that i have ever commented on or rated a 5 star....again LOVE LOVE LOVE IT....PLEASE MAKE SOME UPDATES.... |
|
[2012-04-10] A Google User: Comments I agree with everyone it is slugish and the background needs to have option nice concept though just need more feature and polishment |
|
[2012-04-01] A Google User: Love it Glad to see the new ideas in the app, the owl, the music playback, the change in color... and an Easter egg just appeared on my wallpaper!!! Very cool.... would be even better if we have new elements depending on the time of the year (such as seasonal and holiday elements). Very happy with the updates, keep them coming!! |
|
[2012-03-26] A Google User: Feeding widget?? So cute! But my phone (DROID 2) won't let me drag icons to him to feed him. How do I add the feeding widget? |
|
[2012-03-15] A Google User: Awesome LWP!! Perfect! |
|
[2012-03-14] A Google User: Cute :-) I really like it but I agree should be faster ... and should give us different background options or atleast be able to take off the paper lines, i dont like the paper lines. Id like to be able to take them off. Otherwise I like it! :-) |
|
[2012-03-09] A Google User: kept you waiting huh? Very creative best live wallpaper / tomoagotci flashback kept you waiting huh? |
|
[2012-03-08] A Google User: Good Pretty good but different wallpapers maybe? Needs to need a bit faster |
|
[2012-03-08] A Google User: Sweetness This app is tooo cool :) |
|
[2012-02-24] A Google User: No way. Background is cut off on my screen and it only covers the top half. Its like the wallpaper is too wide and too short. |
|
[2012-02-22] A Google User: Bit tooo slow! It needs to be faster, takes too long. Love it anyway! SD option would be good to. |
|
[2012-02-21] A Google User: Super cute, but... I really loved the artwork and I love the idea of keeping Kotori as a virtual pet. the notifications are cute, if not really helpful, the changing background is awesome, but the performance is what got me. I would love to see this with a bit smoother graphics and movement. On my phone (HTC Thunderbolt) it was choppy and slow. Maybe having an option to change movement/speed settings for people who would prefer that? If that got worked out, it would be my background forever. Great work, awesome idea, creative and original. |
|
[2012-02-17] A Google User: Just what I was looking for. I wanted a cute interactive pet that I didn't have to dedicate my whole life to, and this live wallpaper plays the part perfectly. I love the artwork and the things that he says. At first I was under the impression that the weather changed according to what the current weather is, but I misunderstood the description; only the time in the wallpaper changes in real-time, and that's ok. Although maybe current weather is something that you could add as an option in the future, that would be super cute. |
|
[2012-02-11] A Google User: Love I love kotori |
|
[2012-01-26] A Google User: Great Try it its fantastic |
|
[2012-01-21] A Google User: Good app, some UI issues This is a fun app to have as a wallpaper, however it can be difficult to feed kotori while he is tired since you can not feed him while he is on the ground and he is too tired to fly. A simple fix for this would be to have a feeding dish or bird feeder above the ground that you could fill with icons to allow kotori to eat even while the user is asleep or when kotori is too tired to fly. |
|
[2012-01-08] A Google User: Feed How to feed kotori?I tried drop icon on it but nothing happen.help. |
|
[2011-12-14] A Google User: Good idea but needs polishing I love the idea, but the animation is slow, the signs for hungry etc aren't very clear, needs a real UI and my bird died within 6 hours :( |
|
[2011-12-11] A Google User: Yeah, kotori's movement is quite slow. And he complains about getting wet in the rain but yet he's got a little house there? Anyway, its still ok :) |
|
[2011-12-08] A Google User: Rain Do you think we could get something to keep him out of the rain...like an umbrella hat!!?? |
|
[2011-12-07] A Google User: Cute Love the new updates! |
|
[2011-12-07] A Google User: He moves so slowly?love the look of it and evolving background.but he moves too slow to feel like he's alive and real!his own food would be better too |
|
[2011-10-27] A Google User: . I can't feed him either :( otherwise I love it :) |
|
[2011-09-22] A Google User: Cute. The graphics could be a bit smoother. Would like more interactions. |
|
[2011-08-11] A Google User: Tamagothchi They need to make the pet move a little faster. Too slow |
|
[2011-07-06] A Google User: Not the most accurate to texts but its still neat. Kind of laggy. |
|
[2011-06-24] A Google User: Such a shame! Really cute idea and was excited to revive my retro love of tama style virtual pets but it wouldn't install! After loooads of tries :-( |
|
[2011-06-15] A Google User: It only shows half of it |
|
[2011-06-03] A Google User: I just noticed that one of the smaller clouds looks like a bunny. Probably unintentional, but still cute ^__^ |
|
[2011-05-30] A Google User: I love Kotori so much, could you put in an option to change from master to mistress? |
|
[2011-05-09] A Google User: :) in the description it says kotori ages and changes over time but I haven't seen him change yet? |
|
[2011-05-09] Karen: :) in the description it says kotori ages and changes over time but I haven't seen him change yet? |
|
[2011-04-29] Vibeke: I am very happy with my little bird now that he is flying higher and has received a little house. Great wallpaper.... |
|
[2011-04-27] A Google User: Very cute. More customization would be nice, like backgrounds and colors for kotori. No issues feeding him on Galaxy S. |
|
[2011-04-27] Zombie: Very cute. More customization would be nice, like backgrounds and colors for kotori. No issues feeding him on Galaxy S. |

[2011-03-25] Seban: Droid X. Runs exceedingly slow for some reason. |

[2011-03-23] A Google User: You drag icons on it. Tap the clouds to make it fly. And tap its poop... That's it. |
|
[2011-03-23] Byron: You drag icons on it. Tap the clouds to make it fly. And tap its poop... That's it. |
|
[2011-03-15] A Google User: I really like it but can't kotori move faster? Or is it just slowing down my phone? Plus how do you find the settings for its death??? |
