### 1/5 — Scam game

*2026-03-22*

The first 2 levels are easy to get through but level three is impossible!  When or if you can get to over 99% complete the game freezes and won’t load so you have to start all over.   I have been trying to get through level 3 for months, and just when get really really close, the app won’t load.  I received a small payout but that’s to make you keep playing thinking you are going to win a lot of money.  It’s a great game to play but don’t put any money into it because you won’t win!!

### 3/5 — Idk

*2026-03-19*

It’s a good game especially when you think that you’re going to win a lot of money or even some money but in order to get the money that you want you have to get past level 3 which seems easy but it’s like impossible to beat I’ve tried over 50 times and I haven’t beat it but the game is calming if that all your looking for but if you want to download it to make money I wouldn’t because it’s just a waste of your time. But if you want a game tag you can make money off of then you should download just play. I hope that this helped you out!

### 2/5 — Bull

*2026-03-16*

It’s sad that this game is fun but level three I played for three hours on level three and can’t get past it. It’s not fair from saving withdrawal before anything. Nothing will let me withdraw till I pass level three so it’s a lie about you withdrawing the $200 I give you I’d I was hoping to give it a higher rating but you know they’re crooked like most of the other now JustPlay app pays you

### 1/5 — WHY??

*2026-03-12*

I have $78 in my account and you credited .48. What is that about?? I know  this is an automatic credit app but what’s the hold up on getting the real money? How does that really work?

### 2/5 — I am changing my rating to 2 stars

*2026-03-11*

I give this game only 2 stars i love the game but level 3 is impossible to beat and I constantly have to uninstall it and reinstall it because it doesn’t really want to load properly if it was fixed to load properly and you made level 3 easier to finish them I would give this game 5 stars. And also now I am not able to clean the extra rewards in the daily and I have emailed the developer at least 4 to 5 times with no response to my emails so until changes are made and I’m able to claim my extra rewards from daily rewards I will not be changing my rating.

### 3/5 — Fun and does pay

*2026-02-04*

Fun and relaxing. It really does  pay but getting past level 3 is almost impossible. It keeps freezing and no way to get past. I just want to play. Not fair. So changing my review

### 5/5 — 4.5 stars

*2026-01-01*

I give this game only 4.5 stars i love the game but level 3 is impossible to beat and I constantly have to uninstall it and reinstall it because it doesn’t really want to load properly if it was fixed to load properly and you made level 3 easier to finish them I would give this game 5 stars

### 3/5 — Stuck

*2025-12-17*

Any time you guys update the game, it gets stuck and I have to delete and redownload the app to force it to update/work

### 5/5 — Fun and does pay

*2025-12-15*

Fun and relaxing. It really does  pay but getting past level 3 is almost impossible.

### 4/5 — Girl

*2025-12-11*

I don’t redraw my money now but it’s a relax game
