In the free version you only get one cupcake and one flavor and you have to make the same thing over and over again. So when your daughter plays the free version, they only play it for one minute and quits to paint, her fingernails. Never gettttt… u buuuuutttttthhheeeaaaddsssss………… you always get them in the poor boring Kiddopia. From food maker to repetitive chocolate, CupcakeMaker. Boring, boring, boring never get. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for writing to us.

They should include more! ### 5/5 — Ice cream flavors *2026-04-25, version 2026.02.10* Chocolate ### 5/5 — OG download now trash *2026-04-19, version 2026.02.10* I downloaded this for my nephew when he was 3. He likes to cook and this really helped calm him down when he was throwing tantrums or sometimes to distract him. Now, it sucks! I refuse to pay for the “extra” recipes when they used to be free. He was able to make cupcakes, pasta, and ice cream in so many flavors, styles, etc. now they want you to pay for the “full” access. Puh-lease. I guess it is time to delete the app and look for a better, FREE cooking game. ### 4/5 — Good but have to pay *2026-04-15* Okay You got pay **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your comments and feedback. We would like to help you resolve this issue and so we’d appreciate it if you could write back to us at support@kiddopia.com. ### 5/5 — Very good I just wish we would not have to pay *2026-04-04, version 2026.02.10* Yeah ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2026-03-16* Great game, my cousins love it but almost everything is locked and the new stuff is all locked too **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for the 5-star review.

No thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t go to kidopia *2026-08-06, version 2026.07.21* They taught my daughter how to say the b and d,h,and f and guess how old 4 b ### 1/5 — Locked 🔒 *2026-07-21, version 2026.4.28* Almost everything is locked at least keep two games for free ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2026-06-12, version 2026.4.28* My son used this game when he was young and because of the ketchup he didn’t know what it actually was and thought it was human flesh and started an obsession with humans body’s he’s now 34 year old psycho killer and has been in jail 7 times with a criminal record ### 1/5 — Too many changes *2026-05-13, version 2026.4.28* I initially bought this app for my kids and paid a “one time fee” to unlock all the content. Now the app is updated and what I paid for is gone. We are now required to pay a monthly subscription for all the content. So disappointing. Definitely going to look for something different! ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-31, version 2026.02.10* I paid for this app along time ago for my granddaughter we’ve had it for a couple years and all of a sudden now it’s telling me I have to pay for it again? what kind of scam is this? ### 1/5 — Why can’t you restore what’s already been purchased?! *2026-03-29, version 2026.02.10* I bought some of the recipes a few month ago. Then I updated it and I need a subscription?! Why can’t I play what I ALREADY paid for?! Rip off ### 1/5 — Bought the app; now it’s a subscription? *2026-03-20, version 2026.02.10* We bought this app for our kid to play maybe a year ago… she’s played it a lot, but recently when she goes to play all of the recipes and foods, that we paid for by the way, are gone and everything is behind a new subscription paywall. Hopefully this is a mistake, because I have to imagine this would be in violation of some sort of App Store best practices to say the least. ### 1/5 — A greedy greedy situation *2026-03-02* Update: I emailed customer service to ask for a refund and they said to go to settings and click restore purchase. I now have access again. Original Review: Extremely disappointed. I originally purchased this game at a flat rate for full access, but following a recent update, my kids are now locked out unless I pay a monthly subscription fee. It feels like a bait-and-switch to paywall content I already bought. If the business model is changing to a subscription, the developer should honor previous one-time purchases. I’ll be seeking a refund. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for updating your review! We're so glad to hear that restoring your purchase resolved the issue and that you have access to the app again. If you're now happy with your experience, would you consider updating your rating to 5 stars? Your support means a lot to us and helps other families discover our app. ### 1/5 — Nothing to do *2026-02-25, version 2026.02.09* 1 free thing ### 1/5 — A greedy greedy situation *2026-02-24, version 2026.02.09* Extremely disappointed.
