I tried to go through costumer support and that was no help at all. I didn’t even receive an answer back. If I paid money for something I should receive it. I have a lot of fun playing this game but there are a serious amount of adds where it takes the fun away and is frustrating. I want to keep enjoying the game but if this problem isn’t fixed I won’t be able to and that’s sad. Feel like I just wasted my money. **Developer response:** Hello Chef, we are very sorry you encountered this issue. Please contact us via the "Contact Us" button in the game and provide details on exactly when the problem occurred, along with a video of the issue; we will do our best to assist you! Thank you very much! ### 2/5 — énerver *2026-07-10* c’est un jeux que j’adore je l’ai même recommencer à 0 par contre ça fais quelques jours que je quitte le jeux en sauvegardant et que je retourne en arrière.. par exemple j’ai ouvert la pizzeria j’avais mis mes éléments (veux débloquer a l’ouverture) au max que j’ai acheter avec l’argent du jeux et là j’arrive sur le jeux tout n’est pas débloquer et je n’ai pas récupérer mon argent ça m’énerve je ne jouerai plus tant que cela ne sera pas réparer **Developer response:** Bonjour, Chef. S'il vous plaît, ne nous quittez pas ! Vous pouvez signaler tout problème rencontré via la section [Aide] > [Nous contacter] du jeu. Vos retours nous sont précieux pour améliorer nos produits et services, et nous sommes impatients de connaître votre avis. ### 3/5 — Its ok *2026-06-12* Fun game but the adds are ridiculous, and they want you to spend money which is typical of these games, I play for awhile have fun and then get sick of fighting with these dumb adds and end up deleting it just like I just deleted this game **Developer response:** Hello Chef, we apologize for this, but in order to continue developing this free app, we need to generate revenue from advertising. In-app purchases are for player convenience and are optional. If you don't want to see ads, you can purchase an ad-free service. Please don't delete the game, and we hope you can give it a positive review! ### 3/5 — New updates would be needed *2026-06-11* I really enjoy this game, but there is one thing that I find frustrating. When we move to a new city, we cannot take any of the money earned in the previous city with us. I understand that the developers want each city to be a new challenge, but I think the current system is unfair. The reality is that most of the money we earn is already spent upgrading equipment, ingredients, pots, plates, and other items. As the game progresses, upgrades become extremely expensive. In my current city, even the first upgrade can cost around 10,000 coins, and higher-level upgrades cost much more. By the time a city is completed, only a small percentage of the money earned is left. Allowing players to keep that remaining amount would not make the game too easy. It would simply reward the effort and time invested in previous cities. From a business perspective, successful restaurants should help fund the expansion into new cities. Keeping at least a portion of our remaining coins would make progression feel more realistic and satisfying. I hope you will consider this suggestion in a future update. Thank you for creating such an enjoyable game. **Developer response:** Hello Chef. Due to the game's design, each city has its own set of coins, and coins from different cities are not currently interchangeable.

Why so many? ### 5/5 — 👍🏾 *2026-05-29, version 1.39.1* Amazing cooking world, cooking game like this a lot ### 4/5 — 楽しかったのに *2026-05-19* 警告！端末の時間が変更されました。 一部機能が正常に機能されない可能性があります。 と何もしてないのに出てきました。今までのようにできるように戻して下さい。 **Developer response:** シェフ様、ご迷惑をおかけして申し訳ございません。ゲーム端末のネットワーク接続が不安定な場合、ゲーム内のサーバー時刻とスマートフォンの現地時刻にずれが生じる可能性があります。ネットワークを切り替えて再度お試しください。発生した問題やご意見・ご要望は、ゲーム内の設定画面の「フィードバック」からご報告いただけます。 ### 5/5 — Cooking World *2026-05-19, version 1.38.2* Pretty cool game ### 5/5 — 광고제거를 구매했는데 *2026-05-11* 하단 배너 광고가 갑자기 다시 나오고 스테이지가 끝나고 간헐적으로 계속 광고가 나옵니다. 갑자기 그러는데 조치해주세요. 게임은 재밌습니다. ### 5/5 — The time of world cuisines *2026-04-30* I am able to play and cook a lot of cuisines actually in this games. Easy to play and upgrades are help for all users. ### 3/5 — Can’t Complete *2026-04-26* I love games like this, and the fact I can play it whenever I don’t have access to internet is even better since where I work gets spotty reception in the break room. It honestly seems like a fun game…however. I’m a completetionist by nature, so the fact you can’t 100% each location before moving on to the next one bothers me. It leaves me feeling stressed, unfulfilled, and just leaves me feeling worse than when I started playing. If you’re like me, I suggest you stay away for your own sanity. **Developer response:** Hello friend, please don't leave us. We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience you had. We will be optimizing the difficulty levels. You can watch ads to earn free rewards. If you encounter any problems, you can also contact us through the settings button. ### 2/5 — After update this game doesn’t work *2026-04-24* After update this game doesn’t work **Developer response:** Hello Chef, thank you for your feedback. You can provide us with detailed information about the issue through the in-game 【Help】-【Contact Us】 or by emailing CookingWorldGame@outlook.com, such as screenshots or screen recordings related to the problem, so that we can investigate and optimize the system. ### 3/5 — Glitches *2026-04-24, version 1.38.1* I love this game, however with the updates when I attempt to open the game, it doesn’t completely load. It sounds like it glitches and then the app closes out. ### 3/5 — Good game let down by aggressive ads *2026-04-24* It’s a very well made game but the ads are too aggressive and there is no option to pay to remove ads permanently. There are weekly, monthly and yearly plans to remove ads (along with other benefits) but nothing permanent which is sad. Please consider regional pricing for such a strategy so that paying monthly becomes possible to those who aren’t on the dollar. The game is good, engaging and graphics are top notch. Only let down is the ads and pricing strategy. **Developer response:** Hello Chef, we apologize for this, but we need to generate revenue from ads to continue developing this free app. If you don't want to see ads, you can purchase an ad-free service. We will pass your feedback on to the team and continue to optimize the game. We hope you can give our game a positive review! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Complaints *2026-07-20, version 1.52.2* After updating my app, it is no longer opening. Why is that? ### 1/5 — No ads they say *2026-07-18, version 1.52.2* The first minute there was an Ad and they is more after that, and its boring too. ### 1/5 — Very bad experience *2026-06-18, version 1.50* This game makes me absolutely furious. I really enjoy the levels, but some of them seem designed specifically to prevent me from winning. It is completely unreasonable—especially those moments where I’m told a customer got angry and I have to "revive" the round, even though the customer hasn't even left yet! I had already served the dish, yet the game still flagged it as a failure. It makes me so mad; do the developers actually play their own game? ### 1/5 — Одна реклама *2026-04-23* Игра интересная, но очень затянуто на донат). И все бы ничего, но после каждого уровня в 2 минуты начинается реклама. Это дичь… **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, шеф-повар! Реклама является важным источником дохода, который поддерживает нашу работу и обновления. Вы можете легко закрыть рекламу, просто нажав кнопку «Закрыть» или «Пропустить» в интерфейсе рекламы.

My main problem is I updated the app and now it won’t let me open it anymore. It always closes me out. Don’t play this game it’s not worth your time or energy honestly **Developer response:** Dear Chef, we apologize for this issue. Please send your game ID and a screenshot of the game failing to open to our email address: cookingworldgame@outlook.com. When you encounter difficulties, we encourage you to try a few more times and get a feel for the rhythm. Playing faster, achieving combos of more than 5 hits, and using items will help you progress.

We look forward to your reply. ### 1/5 — Terrible Game *2026-04-21, version 1.37.1* This is an absolutely terrible game. I really don't know what kind of person could develop such a game. The difficulty is completely unbalanced, I even used four power-ups and still couldn't beat it. It's truly a awful game. ### 1/5 — More ads after purchasing what I thought was ads free *2026-04-16* So after the purchase thinking I’m getting ads free …to my surprise I only got 5 ads coupon for only 5 ads only …and after the purchase the ads started popping up more than normal so I would have to purchase again ..which 5 ads become playing only 2 games with the amount of pop ups …be aware of the scam **Developer response:** Hello, Chef! Advertisements serve as a vital source of revenue that supports our continued operations and updates. You can easily dismiss an ad by simply tapping the "Close" or "Skip" button on the ad interface. Alternatively, you may purchase our ad-removal service from the in-game Shop. ### 1/5 — A terrible game *2026-04-13, version 1.37.0* I have no idea who is still sticking with this game; the production quality is absolutely abysmal—endless ads and levels that just keep getting harder. The people who made this game are truly terrible. ### 1/5 — Paid for no ads *2026-04-02* I paid for no ads and now it’s offering me another deal to pay for no ads again and giving me ads. Rip off. **Developer response:** Dear Chef, the in-game ad-free package can remove interstitial ads, and in addition, it also includes ad vouchers for removing rewarded ads. ### 1/5 — Starts off good *2026-03-25, version 1.36.3* But then around level 100 it becomes almost impossible. The icons of what the dishes are are so small yet so involved and it becomes difficult to make the correct dishes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cooking World *2026-08-19, version 1.53* Absolutely love this game😄👏 ### 5/5 — 최고의 겜 *2026-08-19* 저 리뷰 절대 안쓰는데여 개 재 밋 어 요 ### 5/5 — 굿 *2026-08-14* 그래요 이런 게임을 원했어요 광고제거가 매월 22,000원이 말이 됩니까 ㅜㅜ 금액이 비싸 게임 삭제했다가 광고제거 패키지 추가 업데이트 내역보고 다시 설치해봤는데 금액을 낮추니 을매나 좋아요!! 이미 팝업광고제거는 구매했지만 게임유지를 위해 보상형광고도 꾸준히 볼테니 주기적인 업데이트 부탁드려요! 돌고돌아 비슷한 게임중 드디어 할만한 게임 찾았네 아휴 아놔 광고제거 3,300원짜리 구매했는데 적용이 안됨.... 게임 들어갈때마다 자꾸 광고뜨고 패키지 구입하라는 팝업창 뜸 ㅠㅠ 다시 게임 삭제해야되나... 오 지원팀에 광고문제로 문의하니 며칠내로 문제 해결해줬네요 피드백 굿굿👍🏻 타게임보다 소통 아주 잘됨 **Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 셰프님. 소중한 의견 감사드립니다. 게임을 삭제하지 말아 주세요. 광고 수익은 저희 운영 및 업데이트에 매우 중요한 역할을 합니다. 게임 내 설정 > 문의하기를 통해 문제점을 신고하거나 건의사항을 공유해 주시면 감사하겠습니다. 언제든 여러분의 의견을 기다리고 있겠습니다. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-08-05, version 1.52.2* I like the challenge ### 5/5 — This game is so good *2026-07-19, version 1.52.2* shah ### 5/5 — Fun and Relaxing *2026-07-18, version 1.52.2* Pretty fun and levels aren’t super difficult ### 5/5 — Feels like The old Game Diner Dash *2026-07-18, version 1.52.2* I may be 28 but I love how it’s fun for everyone to destress and enjoy the day. ### 5/5 — A *2026-07-15* … ### 5/5 — Player *2026-06-30, version 1.51* Love this game ### 5/5 — Finally *2026-06-24, version 1.51* Finally a cooking game worth playing.
