However can you please fix the glitch where when you buy more time boosters with chef hats that you actually receive the boosters…that is all ☺️ It seems to be the only one not working for me 🤷🏽‍♀️ Is it just me or is the server down for everyone? **Developer response:** Hi there!

I don’t like games that only have whites only not for me. When I play a game I like to see all people . **Developer response:** Hi there!

The Times trials should be a little longer especially when the food cooks slowly in the first three play-throughs. **Developer response:** Our development team will definitely consider your opinion and make the game better.

But the game doesn’t offer updates for the food and equipment needed to play the game. There is only one grill update. No others.

Genre les dev pensent qu’on vas pas s’en rendre compte ? Çà vous arracherais la gueule d’etre honnete ? **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for your interest in the game! We're aiming to include as many languages as possible in the future! ### 2/5 — The game keeps messing up *2025-01-22* I have to constantly restart the game or delete it and after moving ahead a little bit, it starts messing up again and again **Developer response:** Hi there!

Tap and nothing happens. Every level. Highly irritating might as well delete **Developer response:** Hi there! We're sorry to hear about your experience with the game on your device.

Everything distributes pretty easily as far as money/item affordability and extra ways to make money (ads). When you get to the 3rd ‘food truck’ you will notice that your time is cut shorter (using chef hats to buy more customers or watching ads) etc. You will find yourself watching 3-4 ads a level to gain the (up to) 9 or less customers you need to complete the level. It is annoying. I upgrade everything to avoid this and yet I’m still having to watch ads because I refuse to spend money on games. Just beware that is where the hook is in this game. It’s still doable but annoying especially if you are already watching ads for double coins and such. I’ll give it a little longer because it is fun for the autonomous movement but most likely will be uninstalling if the issue persists. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it! This truly helps us build new content and make the game better, and your comments have helped contribute to the game's success! We hope you continue to have fun with Cook Off: Mysteries! ### 3/5 — Not letting me do my upgrades *2023-09-07* I really enjoyed playing this game but I got to a point in the game where I couldn’t go any farther because it would not let me do any upgrades so I deleted it and reinstalled it and I am hoping this will solve it. **Developer response:** Hi there!

I can’t afford ten dollars right now to remove the ads which I was sad I had $2 most but thank you for the experience **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your feedback on the ads. We try and ensure that the presence of ads is minimal, non-invasive and relevant to our players. We're always reviewing how we manage them within the game, and I've sent your feedback to our team. That said, making any in-app purchase removes these ads completely! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
