### 5/5 — I play this on my iPad 1st generation

*2023-07-23, version 2.0*

It’s a great game on there

### 5/5 — GREAT GAME

*2017-07-19*

I absolutely love how realistic the graphics are!!! And did I even talk about the physics???!?!?!! Their amazing!!!  It's like I'm at a real arcade and it is so realistic.  I also love how the whole screen isn't taken up!!! There is too much clutter and I can't see when the whole screen is taken up.  This is the best game ever and if you get it now you will have eternal arcade luck because you were trained by the best game on the App Store!!!  The teddy bear is my favorite because it is just so beautiful looking!  It looks so fluffy it's like I can almost feel it in the screen!!! The game is amazing and that's why i actually give it 666/5 stars!

### 1/5 — Eewww

*2017-07-08, version 2.0*

The prizes are weird and the graphics are terrible. I opened a mystery ball and got a piece of broccoli! Not worth my time.

### 1/5 — It's not that great

*2016-07-06, version 2.0*

I found it not addicting, aggravating, and down right boring!

### 4/5 — Oddly fun

*2016-06-09*

If you add more to this and improve the graphics you will have a very fun time waster app!

### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD!!

*2016-01-18, version 2.0*

I thought it was going to be a good claw game. When it said you need to get at least 5, I got 5. Then it said you need to get 10. You also see other Machines when your looking but the great part is, YOU CANT DO ANYTHING WITH THE OTHER MACHINES! 😡😡

### 5/5 — I love it

*2015-12-26*

This game isn't fancy and all but it's still an awesome game and it's an old game witch means less people are gonna like it cause it's almost 2016 and I played this game since I was 5 !

### 3/5 — Good

*2015-11-11, version 2.0*

Just good

### 1/5 — SO BORING!!!

*2015-08-03, version 2.0*

So all I wanted was to get a good app and have fun. This did not happen. So I was watching countless YouTube videos for who knows why of people doing claw machines.  All I wanted was to get an app for myself to have fun. I am quite disappointed because the other comments are saying " WOW, great app!!" IT IS NOT. Well, thanks for reading until the end of a long but true statement.

### 2/5 — This game is bad and awful.

*2014-11-25, version 2.0*

If you are looking for a good claw machine game this is not the game. DON'T BUY THIS GAME. I am lucky I didn't pay for this.
