I tried to push my first time in years but honestly it was unbearable to the point I could only play one guy without even finishing cause again in…too many ads. ### 2/5 — RIDICULOUS PRICES AND ADS *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* The fact that you have to pay a ridiculous amount of money in this economy to have certain careers is ridiculous, the app didn’t used to be like this WHAT HAPPENED! I want to keep playing but to pay money for this game a ridiculous amount NO! if the price lowers you’ll have a buyer. ### 3/5 — Good game *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* It fun and smooth something in my chest ### 2/5 — Cmon *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* See how u going make someone pay to became a basketball player on a game cmon u going sit stuff that was in the game before now have a pay wall ### 2/5 — horrible payment methods *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* i bought the musician game pack, and it never showed up in my game even though i was charged for the purchase. i’ve tried everything but it just took my $5 and gave me nothing. i’m irritated. ### 4/5 — New ideas *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* Been playing this for years. It would be great if vamps can get pregnant ### 1/5 — Game is pay to win *2026-08-16, version 3.24.4* Everything is behind a paywall ### 3/5 — Bugged *2026-08-16, version 3.24.4* After completing live quest and opening my first chest I watch a ad video for a 2nd chest and it freezes up after watching so I’m unable to open the 2nd one waste of time !!! Fix your game y’all already charging for everything and now we gotta watch ads and when i watch the ads the game freezes that’s crazy…Waste of time! Also emigrating with golden passport freezes the whole game for me ### 3/5 — Fun but some things *2026-08-16, version 3.24.4* Pretty fun game but there are a lot of ads like a lot more than there should be but other than that it’s pretty fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — scammed me *2026-08-18, version 3.24.4* i payed for the bitizen + god mode pack and they took my money but i never got the pack. ### 1/5 — The auto saving needs to go. *2026-08-18, version 3.24.4* I’ve had BitLife for years and the auto saving came and made just took the enjoyment out of the game, I reached out for the support multiple times, asking them to remove it, the auto saving is ruining the lives because if something happens and you don’t want it to happen and you close the app and reopen the app that is supposed to make it so that decision isn’t made the auto saving gives it to you anyways before the auto saving that didn’t happen. ### 1/5 — Paid *2026-08-18, version 3.24.4* I paid for no ads and it didn’t go through to my game but still took my payment ### 1/5 — Took my money *2026-08-18, version 3.24.4* I bought bitizen but it didn’t get the pack but took the money i don’t recommend ### 1/5 — Joke of a game *2026-08-18, version 3.24.4* How greedy do you have to be? This used to be free. Whilst I agree providing a service without ads is okay, especially to those who want to play it, the amount you get on free version doesn’t really give anyone a choice. And seriously is this a good enough game to spend money on? Like £9.99 for an imaginary friendship bracelet?? If anyone has bought that I feel deeply sad for them. Not only is it not real but it’s something that should be free with ads. You should have to watch an ad to unlock it rather than be asked to spend £10, yes £10 for an imaginary bracelet. Awfully ridiculous and outrageous. The ads on the pages that you scroll up and down on are so annoying, it’s so sensitive that you’ll click it by accident and it’ll then take you to a website like why are you doing this on top of the watchable ads? It just makes it worse. I can’t genuinely believe even if it is someone else’s choice that they would spend money on this. Game is bugged massively. It’s rigged to get you to spend money. Awful human beings trying to profit profit profit, rather than ask for the minimum and count themselves fortunate. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* Love the game but they removed the feature where you close out the app and it resets an unwanted event. I’ve bought so many packs for this game including the time machine (which has been glitched for two weeks and still hasn’t been fixed) but without the reset feature the game is unplayable. And if they removed the feature to put it behind a paywall (like everything else in the game) then that’s just greedy. ### 1/5 — Prices for expansion packs are ridiculous! Also false advertising! *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* BitLife are falsely advertising game modes with features that don’t appear after purchase. I feel bad for anyone who’s been misled and is now out of pocket because of this! (I see the ad on Instagram) ### 1/5 — It used to good but now it’s ai slop *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* The game used to be good but as time went on they started to use ai, it’s pretty disappointing that such a good game became ai slop, don’t bother downloading it spend your time on better games ### 1/5 — Paid for 2 expansion packs and didn’t get it in game *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* Paid for billionaire bundle and the boss mode pack and didn’t get it in game ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* It’s like really glitchy and every time I age up and then I go back because I have that packed let you travel through time or whatever it keeps me the age before so I will be like 120 but my age will still say 15 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New update needed *2026-08-18, version 3.24.4* When I go on character life after cancelling before confirming injury in Pro career the game ignores me and keeps the Injury on the last update the game didn’t allow that and I liked that version better, please fix it. ### 5/5 — Orphanage *2026-08-18, version 3.24.4* Can u pls make it where we can get adopted by a random family if we are living in a orphanage ### 5/5 — Best game for you to live your dream *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* Such a fun game I’m able to do all the things I wouldn’t be able to do in real life and have no real consequences for actions ### 5/5 — We need some more music updates *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* We should be able to make music at 11 or 12 on SoundCloud and we should be able to resign to our label if we go to jail and also make a label. Please im going to play this everyday if yall do ths. ### 5/5 — THEY WILL SCAM YOU *2026-08-17, version 3.24.4* Tried to buy something and lost a good 15 dollars just to not get the pass ### 5/5 — Love BUT!!!!!!! *2026-08-16, version 3.24.4* Love the game. 2nd favorite game that I play but it is getting kinda boring now without any big updates. I give it 5 stars because all in all it is a great game to kill time with even though without any big updates recently. ### 5/5 — I’m him *2026-08-16, version 3.24.4* 2trillon dollars BEAT THAT ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-16, version 3.24.4* This game is the best. I don’t know what to say, but it’s good if you’re going on road trips and it’s super addictive. ### 5/5 — Ads *2026-08-16, version 3.24.4* Way too many ads even with your WiFi off but other than that it s great game ### 5/5 — Please *2026-08-16, version 3.24.4* When our characters died, could you add a year? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
