Other than that, cute dancing crab, take care of crab, play game with crab. I, LOVE, it. ### 5/5 — Cutest Crabs Ever *2025-12-03, version 1.18* Love the game I do feel like we are pressured to purchase gems because the fishing rod is constantly breaking. It’s a bit frustrating when your fishing pole breaks and it says watch a video or pay gems to fix and there’s no button to push so you can watch a video. I can’t find it anywhere so I’m continuously having to either wait three hours or buy the gems. but honestly, I really do love those crabs. I have 40 of them and they are so cute. I love when they dance with all their accessories and a few of them even breakdance. There are times when I’ll come into the game and my crabs will be on their back in the water spinning around they really are the best! I am totally addicted. Update 11/27/25 I’m wondering if there’s something going on with the game? I have upgraded my island two times and I have only found one crab. You have no idea how many times I threw that fishing pole out, fixed it and bought bait and I still can’t find my crabs. I noticed the game hasn’t been updated in two years yet the developers keep asking for feedback. I’m giving good feedback yet I’m not getting much feedback right now Finding the crabs is the whole point to the game. I’m beginning to get very very frustrated if anybody has any ideas on what might be going on or how I could fix it I would really appreciate it because I miss finding those cute little crabs. Please don’t give up on the game now. ### 5/5 — Peaceful peachy n cute 💕 *2025-11-30* I’m so glad I stumbled across this game again Wonderful little break from the world ### 5/5 — I LOVEE *2025-11-28, version 1.18* crab ### 5/5 — Cutest Crabs Ever *2025-11-27, version 1.18* Love the game I do feel like we are pressured to purchase gems because the fishing rod is constantly breaking.

The dances are cute and crab ### 4/5 — Cutest crabs ever🦀!! *2025-11-16* I love this game the crabs are really cute. So are the dances I like how the music is different most of the time it’s a four because I wish you could merge crabs together that you can’t fish or diferentes sizes (for all the ppl that like this game play sailor cats it’s also made by platonic games ### 5/5 — SO CUTE *2025-11-15, version 1.18* The crabs are sooooo cute! ### 5/5 — Crab Island *2025-11-14* Very good. Big icons for low vision people. Easy to use. Loads of mini games. ### 5/5 — Cutest Crabs Ever *2025-10-02, version 1.18* Love the game I do feel like we are pressured to purchase gems because the fishing rod is constantly breaking.

One of the only things I don’t like is that the share button doesn’t actually open any kind of menu for me to share to for the dance videos. I wish it was still getting updates but I don’t think it is. ### 5/5 — Bruh Crabs!🦀🦀🦀🦀 *2025-08-29, version 1.18* (:🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀 Thank you so much ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Repetitive. Slow. *2026-05-09, version 1.18* There is no way to advance in this game without paying money. The rules say you can watch videos to earn gems, but they are available, so you have to pay, because you never earn the opportunity to get enough to advance. Total waste. ### 1/5 — pas intuitif, pas de mission *2022-11-24* inintéressant ### 1/5 — Crabby *2022-11-22, version 1.6* I don’t know how to play I’m stuck when I haven’t done anything ### 1/5 — So sinister *2022-11-15, version 1.6* I’m so glad I didn’t let my daughter download this too, the first freaking ad it plays is two girls in porn outfits playing Rock Paper Scissors while making nonstop sexual faces and gestures and hinting at things children have no business seeing or knowing. It’s trashy and gross. Shame on you sneaky pieces of garbage, your app cannot have a rating of ages 4+ with ads like that ### 1/5 — Huh *2022-11-04, version 1.5* I do not know how to get crabs HELP!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭 ### 3/5 — 広告消せない *2025-09-08* 釣りも楽しいし、アクセサリーも集めるのは楽しいしけど、広告を見終わった後閉じる(✗)ボタンが出てこないことが良くある。 アプリを閉じて入る直すしかない上に、釣り途中に強制的に入る広告は、アプリを開き直しても釣りを再開したらまた広告が入るから、✗ボタンが表示されるまで何度も開き直さないといけなくてストレス。 ### 3/5 — Ugh *2025-07-24, version 1.18* Cute game, but the cost of gems in order to upgrade is ridiculous. It’s so difficult to get gems without paying. I’d rather watch freaking ads IF I’m given the option to earn free gems. ### 3/5 — Amazing game but *2024-01-23* I have broken my fishing rod 20 times and I still haven’t gotten my second crab. Can you guys do anything about this? ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2023-03-07, version 1.15* I like the apps visuals and simple layout but it’s just too much with the ads. It doesn’t make me want to upgrade because of how annoying the ads are in the basic version. It’s just too annoying.. ### 3/5 — Super cute *2022-12-04* It’s adorable but my fishing rod always breaks so I can’t play for long and there’s not much else to do ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great but no mouth *2026-08-15, version 1.18* I think that anyone who likes crabs should play this game every day, but there’s only one thing that just barely bugs me is the fact that they don’t have an eating animation with a moving mouth an I think that would be awesome but still 5 stars. Another thing that I forgot too mention is I don’t really like how there’s a limit to how many times you can use the fishing rod and it takes awhile to get actual crabs when fishing but then again it’s still great. ### 5/5 — Honestly the cutest and best game ever!!! *2026-08-10, version 1.18* So I’ve been playing this for about 2 hours and I already have 6 crabs and they are so cute!! Please go play this Support them let’s make this the game of the year!!! ### 5/5 — crab rave *2026-07-27, version 1.18* relaxing fishing game with cute crabs you can dress up ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-22, version 1.18* I love this game it is super cute I love going fishing in it also ### 5/5 — 감사합네다 *2026-07-11* 저가 키우던 블랙아이 크랩 이라는 게가 있었는데 얼마전에 용궁에 떠났어요ㅠㅠ근데 이 게임에 게가 있어서 해봤는데 마음속 빈자리가 채워지는거같네요ㅠ감사합니다 ### 5/5 — カニだけ魚無しの釣りゲーム *2026-06-09* カニを釣って、そのカニで数種類のミニゲームができます。 神経衰弱/タイミングジャンプ/ピッキングetc... 釣りやミニゲームで集めたコインで着せ替えができてとてもとてもかわいいです。 カニの歩き方が、縦に歩くので横歩きしか出来なかったらもっとかわいいです。 戦闘するゲームに疲れたらカニと遊びに来てます。 着せ替えが欲しいので、日本でも他のゲームをリリースして欲しいです。 楽しみにしています。 ### 5/5 — Super cute! *2026-05-31, version 1.18* I haven’t played for long, but so far I love everything about this game. ### 5/5 — My childhood favourite game *2026-05-31* I used to play this game all the time when I was young and I would always love every crab u get because they are so cute so keep up so keep up the good work and I’m glad I found this game again ### 5/5 — Too fun *2026-04-05* I am am falling in love. I love this and this is so cute. Also, make sure to check out other games they made. They’re also good but this game I love it. You get to feed the crabs oh my gosh you get to fish oh my gosh, love it 5 billion. Quadruple a super must download. ### 5/5 — W *2026-03-27, version 1.18* So funny 😂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
