This is every disapointing because it take a lot of time before to play the actual game and forget about the trick to reinstall this app you will loss all the progress that you made so far. Hope that they will fix this to be able to enjoy fully this game! ### 4/5 — Poluição Visual *2026-07-27* O jogo em si, é bom, mas tem muitos pop ups de anuncios, o que dificulta tanto o etendimento da pessoa, quanto na vizualição... mas realmente muito divertido! Eu aprendi a fazer várias receitas com esse jogo! ### 3/5 — It’s Okay *2026-07-19, version 1.132.0* If your somone like me and dosnt like alot of stuff going on don’t get it. I’m not saying that it’s bad it’s just not for me. For the ads there not as bad as I thought. But I did end up deleting it. PS, it is cute. ### 2/5 — Cooking Mama: Let’s make me disappointed! *2026-07-18, version 1.132.0* Lol mama ain’t cooking on this one😂 ### 5/5 — 제 인생역작 !! *2026-07-17* 일단 처음 시작했을때 영어라 놀랐지만 한국어로 바꾸니 너무 재미있는 요소들이 많더라구요 !! 전 특히 미니게임이 너무 재미있었어요 친구모아 아일랜드와 모동숲 사랑하는 저로서는 무료 게임에서 이런 퀄이 나올수 있나 생각했습니더 🥹❤️👍🏻 심지어 광고는 하나도 없어서 완전 시간때우기 딱이에요 !! 이 게임 꼭 해보새옹 😭😭👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — This game is very good comparing with the version of wii *2026-07-16, version 1.132.0* In mine times coking Mama was from the hell because literally was very difficult and you wanna cry is coking mama was bullying you,coking mama is cruel but now the version for phone is made in heaven because is very easy and coking mama is very good with you ### 5/5 — Jessie we need to cook *2026-07-14, version 1.132.0* Yes we are cooking FOOD* but sometimes removing the egg yolk from the white can be too hard even though I almost always burst the yolk in real life but overall fun game ### 5/5 — Cooking Mama Queen Forever *2026-07-13, version 1.132.0* I will love Cooking Mama Let’s Cook forever. I have played cooking mama on game consoles for hours at a time and would keep on cooking. I love every single recipe there is on here and would love Updates to improve the app and make it to where this is one of the perfect Cooking Mama apps on the planet. I mean hey everything is headed digitally so what could possibly go wrong with this app. I will remain a cooking mama forever I tell you what! ### 3/5 — Real good *2026-07-10, version 1.132.0* Honestly, I would have to say this game is REALLY good. I really love when you cook, it feels realistic instead of a cartoon. Another thing really good about it was it has a thing called happy restaurant. That is where who have to cook and serve little people. The one thing I don’t like is how whenever you get like 3 stars in a task it only says one line. I would like their to be a variety of saying so it doesn’t feel like the constant” Even better than mama” same with if you don’t get any stars. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-06-27, version 1.132.0* Recommend you always play this game bye ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — disappointing, full of ads *2026-08-26, version 1.133.0* was hoping to download this to enjoy some nostalgia but is entirely overrun with ads. ### 1/5 — Horrible Game *2026-07-21, version 1.132.0* Okay probably all of y’all are saying I love this game but I have to admit I’m on the 1 star side. I try to play the app but every time I press on the app it just says the company name and brings me back to my home screen? I don’t know why it does that I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because it’s old and it’s my mommy’s old one. I got so mad I had to come on App Store and give it a review to express my feelings. Please tell me if I spelled anything wrong I’m only 7. ### 1/5 — Das alte war besser *2026-07-12* Ich hab das Spiel gespielt, als es rauskam und es war viel angenehmer, man hatte kein Restaurant sondern hat nur für den Mann gekocht und nicht alle 10 Sekunden ist irgendwas aufgeplopt. ### 1/5 — Nonstop ads *2026-07-03, version 1.132.0* Some ads can’t be dismissed and there are so many ads making the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Too many ads ! *2026-06-24, version 1.131.0* Can’t even play there was an ad every time ### 1/5 — Overwhelming, boring *2026-06-17, version 1.131.0* The graphics and overall display is really overwhelming and difficult to navigate There’s no sound AT ALL either It’s too chaotic visually to navigate properly ### 1/5 — quá nhiều quảng cáo *2026-05-29, version 1.131.0* làm xong là phải coi quảng cáo khoảng 30s VÀ KHI THOÁT RA VÀO LẠI ( K XEM QC) NÓ MẤT VẬT PHẨM LUÔN :))) ### 1/5 — passez votre chemin *2026-05-22, version 1.130.0* L'application la plus flippante que j'ai jamais installée ! Au premier abord ça a l'air "friendly" avec les couleurs, mais MON DIEU y'a un truc qui va pas... Et ne parlons pas de toutes les choses payantes 😐 ### 1/5 — lắm quảng cáo *2026-05-17, version 1.130.0* làm xong bắt xem 2 quảng cáo rác ### 1/5 — ‘Watch an ad! Watch an ad’ *2026-05-10, version 1.130.0* Incredibly irritating to see ‘watch an ad’ every three seconds. The pop-ups of achievements go too quickly to be seen or read I have no idea what’s happening after making a meal. The screen is cluttered with buttons, again some for ads. It sucks :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — : *2026-08-29, version 1.134.0* The game is soooooo chilll & funnn I luv it! >:3 ### 5/5 — Favorite game *2026-08-27, version 1.134.0* This is my favorite game, I played it on the Wii and now I can enjoy it on my iPad and Apple TV, it’s really wonderful memories of my youth.

My number one favorite thing about this Cooking Mama game is the Recipe collection. I also adore the restaurant in the game and other things that are in the village. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
