### 5/5 — Fun game

*2025-04-05, version 1.2.1*

I just wanted to write a little review. At one point 10 or so years ago I was rank number 1 globally. Now I have to work every day and I have a kid. 

Enjoy your youth. Maybe spend less time playing Action Potato

### 5/5 — Nostalgic

*2024-01-05, version 1.2.1*

I probably played this game 13 years ago. I can’t believe I came across it again

### 3/5 — No sound

*2022-06-17, version 1.2.1*

Used to be a simple and very fun game but now there’s no sound. And yes I checked the app settings, it’s on 3 (as high as the volume goes). It didn’t used to have a volume within the app (that I know of) it was just controlled by phone volume. A silent game is no fun. Another great game bites the dust. I’ll miss you Action Potato.

### 5/5 — 11 years later and I’m still playing

*2021-12-21, version 1.2.1*

I downloaded this game in 2010. It is still the perfect time waster!

### 5/5 — QuLity contect

*2020-11-30, version 1.2.1*

The best game. Unrivaled in all parts.

### 5/5 — Great for the whole family

*2020-10-11, version 1.2.1*

Whole family loves this game. Who knew making stew was so much fun.

### 5/5 — Incredible Game

*2019-10-04, version 1.2.1*

Have been playing this for years and still love it!

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2019-08-02, version 1.2.1*

This game has been with me through thick and thin. Downloaded it in my senior year of high school 8 years ago. Went that whole year playing Action Potato in every class, at every lunch break, and in the late hours of each night, laying on my raggedy old mattress in mom’s old apartment. When I graduated high school and moved across the country for university, away from everything and everyone I knew, I could waive the stress away with the thought that Action Potato was nestled right in my pocket. On the morning of my wedding, as I sat in a sweat, worriedly anticipating every possible thing that could go wrong, I was instantly grounded with the realization that Action Potato was just a reach-in-the-pocket away. When the newborn was crying in the crib keeping me from sleep during the early morning hours, Action Potato was there to lull me into a dream. When the wife had her diagnosis the following year, Action Potato was there to comfort us. And when she passed after a well fought war with breast cancer, I still had the one and only friend who could feel and help me with the pain; Action Potato. 6 generations of iPhone and here I am, finally leaving this long, overdue review on something that impacted my life for better or worse. 

The bread to my butter, the needle to my thread, the lasagna to my Garfield...

Action. Potato.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-12-25, version 1.2.1*

My siblings and I would always play this game and I remember playing it when I was very young. I spent a while searching for it and now that I’ve found it the game seems more addicting than ever.

### 5/5 — childhood brought back to life

*2018-09-21, version 1.2.1*

I spent an hour finding this game, this game is something I played for ages when I was 6. I’m so glad I found this game again! Love it! 😁
