Screen was cluttered. The seek objects part is maybe 5-6 objects. It’s a crime thing so bloody items, dead bodies. Ugh. There was already a push to limit plat due to limited lightning points. I decided to stop now. Good luck. ### 4/5 — Challenging memory builder *2026-08-20, version 1.45* This game is brilliant at testing your memory for objects, however, your ability to play consistently is dependent upon your willingness to spend money to play. I stopped playing some years ago but have recently returned, and find that I rarely spent money on past version, but, absent the accumulation of points from old version, I would not be able to progress from one level to the next without spending a significant amount of money to play consistently. No doubt it will disappear from my Games when I run out of previously accumulated points 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 4/5 — I’m gonna be honest *2026-07-11, version 1.44* This is a really good game BUT they only let you do certain people in a certain amount of time ### 2/5 — Takes too long unless u pay *2026-06-25, version 1.44* It’s hard to keep playing the game when you only get to play a few before running out of energy. Unless you pay it will take you ages to finish a case. Ads every few mins. It gets tiring and you’ll eventually get bored ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2026-06-13, version 1.44* I like this game,but it’s so a lot of adds it’s so annoying 🤦‍♀️🙄 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-06-11, version 1.44* I can play this game for hours! This game has it all.. you get to “collect and process evidence” from “crime scenes” and “arrest the killers”. It’s super entertaining! I have encountered no bugs and no freezing up with this app either! 10/10!! ### 4/5 — A great way to remember your loved ones❤️ *2026-06-03, version 1.44* My grandma who passed in late 2023 loved these criminal case games. Now I play them in my free time slowly completing all the cases. It takes time to complete a case without money (typically about a week or slightly less) but it’s a great time killer. My only complaints are the abundance of ads and the unbelievable gore in case 8. 13+ kids probably can’t handle that. ### 3/5 — Decent BUT *2026-06-02, version 1.44* I’ve been having issues for a whiiile logging into Facebook. I got to level 25 and had to delete the app due to storage, but now am able to play again, and since the app wont let me connect Facebook I can’t restore my old data. I’m pretty upset about this as I love the game ### 2/5 — Waiting and ads *2026-05-29, version 1.44* Between the waiting and ads this game isn’t fun anymore. I can get maybe 3 searches that don’t last over a minute and I have to analyze something for almost 24 hours? I can’t play the case while I wait because the point system is so excessive. 3,000,000 points to get a star on the first mission, had to play the same stage over 8 TIMES. This game has been ruined. Everything is waiting waiting waiting. ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-05-28, version 1.44* Wow ### 3/5 — I love it *2026-05-28, version 1.44* I love the game, but I genuinely do not like the fact that there is a ad after every little thing that I do such as getting a star from one of the crime scenes or just making progress on one of the crime scene scenes and then I also don’t like the fact that we have to use a star for almost every little thing because I feel like personally if I already had to use a star to talk to a certain suspect, I should be able to talk to that suspect without using a star every other time after that, and then another thing that can kind of irritate me is the weight when it comes to getting something examined but other than that, the game is really good and I like the fact that they give us the opportunity to watch a ad if we want more coins or if we need more energy still a really great game though ### 5/5 — So fun to play *2026-05-06, version 1.44* I love this game so much I play it everywhere I go and it’s one of my top 3 favourite games of all time ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-04-28, version 1.44* ^^^ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — bro *2026-08-16, version 1.44* why do i have to wait a whole day to get to the next level that i worked hard for or i have to pay if i wanna go instantly thats weird and greedy its not gonna make anyone want to wait its gonna make them want to delete the game because they dont feel like waiting to play anymore ### 1/5 — Игра была хорошей,пока не впихнули кучу рекламы каждые 20 секунд! Это издевательство! *2026-08-01, version 1.44* Очень много рекламы! Стало невозможно спокойно играть😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-07-31, version 1.44* Have always loved this game, but since I started playing it on my iPad all you get is ads. You play one time, AD, play another round, AD. Etc, etc, etc. Makers, really push for you to pay for no ads, but bugger that, it’s not worth it. Shame really as I’ve been playing it since it first came out, but not anymore. Game will be deleted. ### 1/5 — Going downhill *2026-07-05, version 1.44* I played this game sometime ago and truly loved it. Opened it up again and found that for every 20 seconds of play there’s 30 seconds of ads and that didn’t used to be the case. I understand that developers make their money this way, but it shouldn’t be more than half your time spent on ads. It takes about 20 seconds to play around, followed by a very long ad. It’s a shame because this was went a great game and I’m not against developers making money. ### 1/5 — Cant connect to facebook *2026-05-23, version 1.44* Hey so could we please fix this problem? i have been trying to log in since a month! can the developers work on this? i heard it happens every year. cant we just set a timer every year and fix this please ### 1/5 — Hardly playable *2026-05-23, version 1.44* You get so little energy and have to keep replaying the same scenes over and over again just to progress a little. Uninstalling after five minutes. ### 1/5 — Ts game is ah now ✌️🫩 *2026-04-13, version 1.44* Genuinely if you see this Pretty Simple please fix the damn facebook bro 🫩✌️im tired of not being able to sync my shi bro. Atleast fix it for a week onb. Just please bro ### 1/5 — Great game, but too many ads *2026-04-12, version 1.44* The game is super fun, but the amount of ads that pop up is ridiculous, I only appreciate ads when I can choose to have them for a specific advantage, not randomly disrupting my playtime. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-03-14, version 1.44* I spent quite a bit of money on this game in the past. I decided to reinstall it and it won’t let me log into my Facebook to sync my old account. I get a message the the developers know. Yet nothing has been done. Really disappointed. ### 1/5 — Problem purchasing sticker packs *2026-03-14, version 1.44* Can’t buy sticker packs keep saying hasn’t gone through but all other purchases work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-26, version 1.45* Literally my favourite game ever, I actually like that I can't binge play the cases because the energy runs out. It means I get more out of the game. Honestly it's so fun, there's so many different cases I've been playing for a long time I'll never get bored of it ### 5/5 — Game! *2026-08-21, version 1.45* Absolutely Love This game!! ^^ ### 5/5 — Game is great *2026-08-05, version 1.44* Amazing game 10/10 absolutely do recommend ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-04, version 1.44* Vey exiting fun ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-07-29, version 1.44* This game is literally so amazing and fun im addicted to it anytime i get bored i play this game it makes me learn a lot of new things !🤍 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-22, version 1.44* Amazing game ### 5/5 — Nítido *2026-07-18, version 1.44* Buen juego ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-07-18, version 1.44* This game is so fun to play and keeps you engaged in to what’s happening ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-07-06, version 1.44* Whoever thought of this is very amazing.
