Also I havent even tried to get apples because it seems impossible with the amount of mush I have :/

Haha its been years for me but I would say understanding the sales market

its hard to know what is of value, now I know where to look and how to anticipate a bit but making money outside of explore seemed impossible for so long

im not sure how to fix this but yea i imagine many struggle with this, perhaps its all just a learning adventure though

Upgrading the den and pack.

I am trying to remember as I started 9 years ago.

It depends on the items you want, as for instance den expansions used to be 20 apples.

There are many players who do pay real money to get items, I don't feel this is a disadvantage to players who don't pay real money, however to gain the funds necessary you do need to play/explore daily. A balance of keeping a high Pack Happiness I feel has been the easiest for me in the past to save and buy what I desire.

Sometimes the market for certain wolves dies and profits cannot be gained for what you spent.

The gamble of life xD

I think it was totally navigation because I accidentally skipped the like navigation thing if I remember. They might not even have one! Idk

We do have a tutorial, but it wasn't usable unless you signed up on desktop. That was one of the factors that went into the decision for the UI revamp. The tutorial is now readable on phones. (and I might make it even larger font)
