Although many improvements are needed, casino is bugged, so are things in politics like the quiz section you literally can’t read the responses and have to guess. I’m giving 4/5 stars for now cause it is a fun game, but needs work. **Developer response:** Thank you for the 4-star review and detailed feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the game. We’re aware of the casino bugs and the readability issues in the politics quiz, and we’re working to improve them. We’ll continue making updates to improve the overall experience. 1.5.4 ### 4/5 — Update! More feedback *2026-07-25* The update is great. In the acting career, it is very hard to read the text in the “In the room.” Specifically “First call atmosphere / holding” text and the color of the “odds” and “method”. ### 4/5 — Kinda addicted…but… *2026-07-24* I was really excited to try this game and I have to say that it didn’t disappoint…at first. But my only issue is I can’t hire investment managers. No matter what I do the options stay grayed out. My character is a multimillionaire so money is not an issue. I even started a new life safe and it’s still grayed out. It’s really frustrating because being locked out of that part of the game is like an itch you can’t scratch. It’s driving me crazy. ### 4/5 — Update! *2026-07-16* The update is great. It removed a lot of the nonsensical events that could happen as a child. I still think that you should remove 1. a family member asking for financial help and 2. a family member, such as a grandparent, asking to hang out (“time with [insert name] which costs money to “make the trip.” Why would I have to spend $200 as a 12-year-old to see my grandparent? Otherwise there’s definitely lots to explore. I’ve spent hours on this game. ### 5/5 — Gambling *2026-06-29* Gambled multiple millions on blackjack and won. Solid game ### 4/5 — Really Good *2026-06-26* It’s an amazing game. So well detailed and there’s genuinely so much to do. However, I don’t love the like AI people. I feel like I can’t say anything without it being weird. And it’s very cringey. I just want it to reply like the people actually know me and it’s not some new random encounter. ### 5/5 — I hope soon there’s a version of a more nsfw ai *2026-06-09* I hope soon that the ai “chat” can have option of nsfw and less of sorry can’t continue conversation ### 4/5 — Really detailed *2026-06-07* This game is insanely detailed in how much stuff you can do, I will say learning the layout and how much stuff you have to learn the first time you open the app is intimidating. I think a basic tutorial to really run you through the entire game would be a great addition to the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Yeah, no *2026-08-19* Vibe coded game. Bugs everywhere. The interface feels like 2000. ### 1/5 — Promising But.. *2026-08-17* Game seems detailed but I can’t select half of the game menus. I’m not sure if it’s because of my phone or if the game itself has issues. I did the tutorial and it was fine. After I completed the tutorial it wouldn’t let me select anything in the setting tab or the action tab. The only thing it would let me do is age up. I got to age 5 before I got a prompt that let me choose morning walk in the action tab. That’s the only way I was able to use an action. Also, at the age of 3 years old, my “company” wanted to lay me off and gave me 3 options to choose from. I’m a toddler, how in the world am I employed? I lost happiness due to being laid off. The game has a lot of promise but for now it’s a mess. Good luck to the developer. I still couldn’t go to setting to save the game. I will try again when this gets patched. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work? *2026-08-16* I bought this app because the reviews made it look good, however the app is broken and it’s impossible to choose any activities so it is a waste of money **Developer response:** We’re sorry you experienced this issue. I believe I also explained in an email that it has been fixed in version 1.5.4, which is now available. We highly recommend updating the app to the latest version. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. ### 1/5 — Very buggy *2026-08-16* Very buggy, scrolling is a pain, choices don’t seem to matter much, very slow pacing and not very intuitive UI, needs work. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. Version 1.5.4 should help address many of these issues, especially scrolling and UI problems. We’re constantly improving the game and working to make the pacing, choices, and overall experience better. ### 1/5 — okay game but…. *2026-08-16* It’s so obviously made with AI and so many bugs. There’s just so much to do like it’s very overwhelming and when I was kid the game prompted me so much adult choices. It’s too detailed and realistic to have any fun. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The game is designed and written by our development team, not generated by AI. We understand that the amount of content can feel overwhelming, and we’re continuing to improve the UI, pacing, and age-appropriate progression. If you can share specific examples of the adult choices you encountered as a child, we’d appreciate it so we can investigate. andrew@weflyhq.com ### 2/5 — My opinion *2026-08-22* I love simulation games and it is very detailed. I just don’t like how it formatted, I mean it just feels a lot of words and a lot of text and I just don’t know ### 2/5 — Has potential *2026-08-19* This could be a good game but there’s a lot of bugs. ### 2/5 — It's a good game... but... *2026-07-07* It's a very enjoyable game; at first, challenging to get into because there's so much involved and you get overwhelmed and don't know where to start. After a while navigating through the menus, you start to enjoy it. I love that there is a lot you can do in this game and the simulation is next level when it comes to stories/rpg. But, QOL is a big factor affecting my game and enjoying it right now. Here's a stand out example: You're running for office in politics; but when in the debating menu, only one of the choices appears, and the other choices are cut off because that dialogue is too long. You try to scroll down and it does nothing. You win the debate and are trying to press to confirm, but it's stuck at the bottom of the dialogue when trying to scroll down. You tap the X then you need to do the debate again. I love that there is so much flexibility in this game, and it's seemingly uncapped life investing sandboxing potential. But it's a harder sell, and poses a challenge to enjoy when the content you pay for is limited because the UI is too clunky when navigating it and you can't access some content because it doesn't let you scroll down; where the rest of the content is cut off. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback! this is exactly the kind of report that helps us improve the game. You’re right about the debate screen: long dialogue was pushing response options and the confirm button off-screen, and scrolling wasn’t working. That wasn’t intentional — it was a layout bug. We’ve fixed it so the debate modal scrolls properly: you can read the full exchange, reach all four response choices, and tap Continue after winning without having to close out and redo the debate. We hear you on the broader QOL point too. There’s a lot in the game, and when UI gets in the way of content you’ve paid for, that’s on us not you. We’re actively tightening navigation and scroll behavior on screens like this. If you hit anything else that feels cut off or stuck, please send the screen name (or a screenshot). That helps us track these down fast. Thanks again for sticking with it and for the kind words about the depth of the simulation. ### 3/5 — Decent game *2026-07-02* I wish ai chat bot was less limited with topics or if there was a setting for said thing ### 4/5 — Digits *2026-08-17* So, enjoying it so far, still needs work but it’s solid. One issue is that depending on how you pass the years, after 10, you lose a digit and can’t really see where you’re at. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words and for pointing this out. We’re aware of the year display issue where a digit can become hidden after age 10. We’re continuing to improve the UI and will work to get this fixed in a future update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Originally was a 1 Star *2026-08-23* I originally rated this game as a one star. I went and deleted my old review after the developer fixed all of the issues with the latest patch update. This game has so much depth to it that it can be confusing. Take your time and read through all of the tabs. I’m just focusing on a few things in my current life. I went to be a professional soccer player and now I’m retired and recently became a minority owner in a soccer club. I’m having a lot of fun with this game now. ### 5/5 — Maravilhoso *2026-08-19* Jogo muito completo, se tivesse idioma em português do Brasil, seria perfeito! ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-08-16* Most in depth life sim I’ve ever played!! ### 5/5 — Hidden *2026-08-16* Hidden gem it’s so fun but I wish there was a quick overview of your health and happiness and things that I could do to fix it that I could easily see ### 5/5 — So detailed.. wow *2026-08-09* Amazing game most detailed and interactive life simulator I’ve played worth the price and more ### 5/5 — I thought this game wasn’t gonna be good *2026-08-09* I thought this game wasn’t gonna be that good but it is actually amazing. I love it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-30* I know this game is still new but it was so much!! I can’t wait to see how it grows. ### 5/5 — This game is so damn detailed it’s ridiculous *2026-07-25* Get it now! ### 5/5 — It’s like Sims + BitLife *2026-07-21* This game is pretty awesome. It is incredibly in depth and I’m actually glad to have paid for this app instead of getting it free. There are some bugs, sure, but it also seems like it is a single developer that *does* care about their product. I’ve really enjoyed playing for hours already and can’t wait to see what happens in the future with the game. The only thing I am critical of is the sheer volume of menus and tabs to read - I don’t have a recommendation, so I’ll live with the system for now, but I wish it were grouped a little simpler. ### 5/5 — the best life sim? *2026-07-07* listen ive played damn near every single mobile life sim there is but this one? woah. insane details. i rarely ever spend money on apps but this was probably the best couple of dollars i’ve ever spent. if i had to nitpick or give suggestions id say i want the ability to go to the club, do drugs, have different heights and weights, have a renewable passport to travel, get called up to the world cup (idek if thats an option because theres so many career choices!!), etc etc. again thats just me nitpicking and laying suggestions on the table. crazy good game. cant wait to see what else you got for us. keep up the good work --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
