Loading screen is full of weird ads. ### 2/5 — DO NOT PAY TO REMOVE ADS *2024-09-07, version 17.1* Do not pay the $1.99 to “remove ads”; might as well take $2 and light it on fire. You’ll still get ads no matter what. Total scam. ### 2/5 — Very weak game *2020-10-19, version 1.9* Compared to other cooking games this is waist of time ### 2/5 — Fun to play but too many glitches *2020-08-19, version 9.0* This is a good game to play. You can progress without spending money. Unfortunately the game does not work as it should. The game freezes a lot. Also within the game, it says lives refresh but they don't, it constantly says full, even when all lives are gone and therefore you cannot advance the game ### 1/5 — Bugs *2020-05-15, version 1.3* In level nine where they introduce lettuce and it won’t let you put lettuce on the sandwich. ### 2/5 — Dont purchase special items *2020-04-30, version 1.2* I made a purchase that was supposed to include 48 hours of unlimited lives. Never got it. Don’t waste your money.... ### 1/5 — Do not download!! *2020-04-27, version 1.2* Would give negative review if poss Terrible graphics And keeps crashing ### 1/5 — NO *2020-04-25, version 1.2* Game is awful. Don’t waste your time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid no ads *2024-10-05, version 17.1* I paid for no ads but you still get ads ### 1/5 — Lives *2023-12-06, version 17.0* This game is nice but they lie about “thanking you “ for returning back to the game and “offering 1 hr free of lives etc. Pretty much you start having fun run out of lives and they need your money to continue the levels…. Fun while it lasted ✌🏽 ### 1/5 — Chef cooking game *2023-02-11, version 17.0* The app is unresponsive. It’s an annoying problem. Every time I tried to put cheese on the pizza. The app does not respond. It’s infuriating! I end up losing a life every time because the button does not work. ### 1/5 — Too many Adverts *2022-01-25, version 16.0* This game could be really fun if it did not have so many adverts spoils the game. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2021-07-17, version 16.0* I play first time and can’t make a sandwich with vegetables part the first. I deleted the game and started over still can’t make a sandwich with vegetables. I use an IPhone 7. I like the game and like to continue if l can play ### 1/5 — Games Crashed and could not open anymore *2021-02-17, version 1.9* I had to delete and reinstall but I cannot get ALL MY PURCHASES restored. Please get back to me asap. I do not have Facebook and, it seems, that is the only way to send purchases ### 1/5 — Scammers *2021-01-01, version 1.9* Don’t waste your time playing this game. They tell you ,you get 2 hours free or 30 mins free and you actually don’t! They lie and try to make you buy gems to get lives! I’m disappointed at first I liked this game and spent my own money probably around 20 bucks ,I thought it was a glitched but it kept happening. Scammers! ### 1/5 — 4 stars for 200 coins...doesn’t matter, uninstalling *2020-08-19, version 9.0* I’m giving this game 4 stars for 200 game coins. This game is very hard without spending money. You can’t get far because you don’t get enough coins to do upgrades and levels are impossible to pass without them. I’m uninstalling. Not worth the aggravation. ### 1/5 — Can’t play *2020-07-27, version 9.0* Would love to play the game but ran out of lives and they never came back so cant play at all . Gonna delete I guess ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-06-03, version 1.3* Don’t waste your time on this game, most of the time it won’t let you click on things ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2023-07-16, version 17.0* Very very fun game. I recommend it. If you love playing cooking games 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — It’s great *2023-01-08, version 17.0* Awesome game ### 5/5 — Love this game *2020-09-09, version 1.9* Was getting annoyed with ads so paid £1.99 to get them removed for good great game ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-09-04, version 1.9* Very addictive game ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-05-30, version 1.3* Totally addictive ### 5/5 — Tracy *2020-05-16, version 1.3* Really Really Good Game ### 5/5 — Pretty good game so far. *2020-04-22, version 1.2* There is one major problem. If your game crashes it won’t save to whatever level you are, so don’t spend any money just yet. The game will not sign into Facebook or anything else, you get the error code. “This game /is in development. You do not have permission...” ### 4/5 — good game *2025-04-18, version 17.3* good game with good gfx but choppy animations if you care anything about that ~ ### 4/5 — Help *2021-06-30, version 16.0* I gave this game four stars before a big problem occurred. I like this game, but have not been able to play for three days because it won’t give me more lives. It reads full next to the heart, but says zero on the heart. I don’t know how to get a hold of someone to help. That is the only reason I am leaving this complaint here. ### 4/5 — Brilliant *2020-10-27, version 1.9* I think 🤔 this game is amazing 😉 I love how rolls can burn because I think it makes it really realistic but I have a small complaint..........................THE CUSTOMERS ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RUDE!!!! I really hate how if you don’t serve a customer in time they frown and then scowl but that doesn’t really matter because it is actually quite funny 😂 when they do that. I think 💭 this game is Great 👍 and would definitely recommend this to anyone --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
