I REPEAT THE ADS ARE UNBEARABLE ### 1/5 — Didn’t load when I tired playing *2025-05-25, version 2.17.4* The problem is literally in the title ### 1/5 — Too hard and far too many adds *2025-02-17, version 2.17.4* Way too many adds the game is too hard and always makes you go into debt forcing you to watch more adds ### 4/5 — Love this game *2025-01-27, version 2.17.4* This game is my favourite I play it for hours on end and have spent money, theres a few things that could be improved, sometimes there are glitches and I can’t see the bar to know how much I’m using, there isn’t enough customisation, don’t get me wrong there’s a good amount but it needs more, so far I haven’t seen a way to earn gems through anything else but watching videos. And the most important one is the dishes don’t save so there’s no way I can go back to check what I have to put into the dish. And when the customers ask for a dish from a picture I am stuck to guess what they want and I almost always miss some of the seasonings that are in the dish. ### 3/5 — Fun but hard *2024-12-07* I love the game, but I bought Auto-Seasoning and I can‘t remove it, when I click remove :( ### 1/5 — Rent too high *2024-10-09, version 2.17.4* The game is fun but why is rent always so high and inconsistent??? One time it’s around 12 and next time it’s 48. What is the criteria for rent? I feel like this game purposely prevents me from earning money ### 2/5 — Game made only for profit *2024-09-16, version 2.17.4* The game itself is centered around making you fail if you choose to not watch the ads. To gain “temporary” ingredients for only one level you have to watch a video, if you don’t then you will lose out on the money. That means you’ll get less money to pay rent. And the only way to be able afford rent is to lessen the rent by watching a video. Ads also come in randomly as well and it doesn’t not pause the game which means if you’re in the middle of cooking for a customer, your timer will run out while watching the ads without consent. I tried to play the game with accuracy without the ads and tried to get everything right to which I did rationalizing the ingredient amount to get profit but in the end I still made a negative profit because I did not watch any ads to lessen the cost. It’s clear that this game is centered around making profit for the game instead of specializing on the gameplay. It’s a shame because they would have been the next good pizza great pizza(although it seems this game is based on that one) if papa cook star had just focused on gameplay instead of using every strategy they had to make us only watch ads for 2/3 of the gameplay….it really is a shame because it had so much potential and I throughly enjoyed playing this interactive game but you can really never enjoy it without worrying about not being able to afford rent which increases everyday by the way…please .work on this. ### 4/5 — Français *2024-09-04* Le jeu est bien mais il faut le mettre en français ### 3/5 — 5 cuando esté en español *2024-08-15* Español no entiendo nadaa ### 2/5 — ужасно, я разбита *2024-08-07* так меня еще никогда не унижали, как в этой игре, действую по инструкциям, а в итоге, случайно не добавив одну крупицу соли, получаю кучу неприятных комментариев о том, что мне даже рядом с кухней нельзя находиться и что они очень сомневаются в моей компетенции, еще и денег кучу забирают, А ВЕДЬ причину моих ошибок в приготовлении объясняют лишь в редких случаях, так что я даже не понимаю, ЧТО Я ДЕЛАЮ НЕ ТАК. спасибо😇 ## Frequently asked questions about Cooking Papa ### What is Cooking Papa:Cookstar?
