These games are usually relaxing, but this one is not. This game sends us into panic mode. Also, my game ended up glitching. One of the pets (the green lizard)that we’re not supposed to get until after we finished the first case in the age of sail, the game glitched and gave me that pet when I was still in the renaissance era. ### 3/5 — Advertisement *2026-01-23, version 1.44* As for Rocket Money keeps crashing crashing the game. Quite annoying and I keep losing out on the app. Please remove this advertising. ### 3/5 — oyun *2025-11-11, version 1.44* Her şeyi anladım herkes daha zor olduğunu söylemiş ama bana daha kolay geldi 1 yıldızı bir oynayışta alabiliyorsunuz diğer oyunlarda 2-3 kere oynamak zorunda kalıyorsunuz bence bu oyunda değiştirilmesi gereken en büyük özellik sürekli bir şeyleri laboratuvara götürüyoruz ve 12-13 saat bekliyoruz bu çok saçma acil bunu 3-4 saate düşürülmesi gerekiyor ### 3/5 — Avis sur le jeu: temps d’analyse trop long *2025-09-11* Bonjour, Personnellement,je trouve le jeu excellent. Cependant,le temps d’attente des analystes est trop long,ce qui est assez frustrant. Attendre 18 heures ou 15 heures pour analyser des objets est excessivement long. J’espère que vous pourrez améliorer cet aspect,car le jeu est très bon par ailleurs ### 3/5 — Werbung *2025-08-30* Die letzte Aktualisierung hat augenscheinlich vor allem dazu gedient, auf dem Startbildschirm ein riesiges Werbe-Fenster für irgendein anderes Spiel einzubauen. Zum Glück logge ich mich nicht über FB oder Apple ein, so kann ich das Spiel gleich starten. An alle, die sich über die Werbung zwischendurch beschweren: Man braucht das Internet nur für den Tagesbonus und zum Laden neuer Fälle. Also offline spielen! ### 3/5 — Spoiled!! *2025-06-09, version 1.43* Bring back the old format! I’ve enjoyed these games back to old Grimsborough but you’ve spoiled it by putting in time limits on all the tasks and taking away the use of any partners. There used to be at least a bit of forethought about which partner to use as you were completing a task. Now it’s just boring and ploughing through just to get to the end. I hope the next episode is back in the old format. ### 3/5 — Переведите игру на русский *2025-05-02* Пожалуйста переведите игру на русский, я прошла все русскоязычные части по два раза 🫣😒 хочется чего нибудь новенького ### 3/5 — Dificuldade *2025-03-06* Interessante o formato de viagem no tempo. Porém é muito difícil conseguir os primeiros lugares nas cenas de pistas. Nem em primeiro, segundo o terceiro colocado na pontuação. ### 2/5 — There’s no way you can earn more stars *2025-01-18* To progress with the story you need stars for everything and to get stars you have to play the crime scenes which gets boring and is no fun. Because then you’re not progressing your just playing the same thing again. And on top of that every time you only get 1 star. The storyline is good but getting stars is really difficult ### 4/5 — Disappearing stickers *2025-01-07, version 1.43* The game is fun however my photo album is a mess,sometimes when I win a sticker piece it just disappears and then reappears which I am tired of,I just a stable album. ### 2/5 — deberían revisarla para que no dé el fallo de quitar energía *2024-12-01, version 1.43* esta aplicación tiene un problema cuando refresca se pierde la energía que ibas a usar para una escena y a parte yo no sé esta pero sí que en el otro juego el del pasado le quitaron diez de energía porque antes tenía 120 y ahora sólo tiene 110 por eso solamente le pongo dos estrellas ### 3/5 — Add indonesian language *2024-11-23, version 1.43* Add indonesian language pleaseee ### 4/5 — Review *2024-11-21, version 1.43* Love playing criminal case but you have to get to many stars prefer original games ### 2/5 — Not my favorite one *2024-11-06, version 1.43* I perfer the other games. This is just more annoying. ### 2/5 — To Many Changes and not for the good to the Criminal Case Games *2024-10-28, version 1.43* I have been playing the Criminal Case games since Pacific Bay and the 1st game came out this version has to many changes that are not positive changes. You will spend more time watching Ads than playing the game, it’s annoying. Needing two stars for every clue and 10 stars instead of 5 and all cases now timed instead of just having the one, I personally don’t care for the changes to this version. ### 2/5 — 日本語 *2024-08-29, version 1.42* 日本語訳がほしい ### 2/5 — Эта игра ХУДШАЯ из всей серии! *2024-07-25* 1) нет перевода на Русский 2) каждый поиск улик ограничен по времени 60 секунд 3) каждое усиление (показ предмета, подсказки и доп.время) оплачивается монетами!!! 4) для допроса подозреваемого тут требуется не 1 звезда (как было раньше), а сразу 2! 5) для исследования улики тоже нужна не 1 звезда (как было раньше), а 2. 6) если раньше 1 локацию можно было закрыть, набрав на ней 5 звёзд, то теперь надо 10!!!! Создатели игры сбрендили???! Раньше я с большим удовольствием расследовала дела серии Criminal Case, но эти нововведения - какие-то пытки! => Даже нет желания проходить это «Путешествие во времени». ### 2/5 — Still can’t *2024-06-04, version 1.41.2* Connect to Facebook on iPhone ### 2/5 — Oh dear *2024-05-23, version 1.41.2* Like many others reviewers, I have played all of the other Criminal case games and enjoyed them to the extent that I paid money to have ads removed and more. I haven’t done that with any other game. I’m afraid I won’t part with a penny for this one. What was an enjoyable, relaxing game has turned into a stressful experience where we play against the clock. I can only assume they did this to make more money - I hope it backfires on them. Bring back the previous format please. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fonctionnement nullissime *2026-04-24* L'histoire est top, j'aime beaucoup les autres jeux Criminal case, mais alors le fonctionnement de celui là est à s'arracher les cheveux. Etre obligé de recommencer les mêmes scènes en boucle à grands coups de dépense d'énergie (sans rien gagner à la fin si on a le malheur de ne pas trouver un pauvre objet), ou dépenser des sommes folles en pièces pour les bonus. C'est juste hyper frustrant et me fait fermer le jeu à chaque échec, pas vraiment le meilleur moyen de fidéliser des joueurs... enfin bon, la franchise est à l'abandon depuis des années, donc personne ne se donnera la peine de ne serait-ce que lire cet avis. ### 1/5 — Hate the changes *2025-07-24, version 1.43* I have played all the previous Criminal Case games for years. Absolutely love them. This one……nope. Will probably delete it and find a different hidden object game to keep me sharp. I just don’t get the rewarding feeling that I got from the other format. ### 1/5 — Criminal case *2025-05-07, version 1.43* Dovevate farlo continuare così non mi piace ### 1/5 — Hate the new format *2025-03-05, version 1.43* Loved the initial games in series. I play for storyline as well as find objects. Ten stars? 2 stars for each activity on tablet? Need to buy, buy, buy. Deleted after a couple of levels ### 1/5 — Game developers are sleazy *2024-09-17, version 1.43* I used to love this game until I noticed that when you X out of the commercials, it takes me completely out of the game and ever so rudely opens up my safari browser and takes me to the web page of the online store that showcased the ad. It’s bad enough I cooperated with the them by watching the mandatory part of the commercial. They should know that all they are doing is making me swear off the product they think they have a chance of selling me. Greedy AF! ### 1/5 — So bad *2024-03-24, version 1.41.2* The new version is dreadful. Why or why did you change a formula that worked so well.? Think I am going to have to delete it as it’s dull, boring and not a patch on the original game. ### 1/5 — Problema de inicio de sesión *2024-03-08, version 1.41.2* No me deja iniciar sesión con mi cuenta de facebook ### 1/5 — No puedo conectar mi Facebook a mi proceso *2024-02-06, version 1.41.2* Por error cerré mi sesión y ya no puedo vincular la cuenta, agradeceré me contacten y me apoyen. ### 1/5 — What is going on? *2023-12-29, version 1.41.2* What is going on with this game? I haven’t been able to sign into Facebook on my iPhone to play this game ### 1/5 — Problemas para conectar con Facebook *2023-12-27, version 1.41.2* El juego es muy bueno. El sistema de recolección de estrellas me gusta bastante, pero no logro conectar mi cuenta de Facebook, por lo que al reinstalar la app no puedo restablecer todo mi progreso. Ojalá puedan solucionar ese problema pronto. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cinema *2026-06-12, version 1.44* A incredible game in a incredible series ### 5/5 — wwe boy vs girl *2026-06-02, version 1.44* it is good ### 5/5 — HARİKA *2025-05-15, version 1.43* Muhteşem bir oyunnnnn ### 5/5 — Travel in Time *2024-12-28, version 1.43* Me encantó el juego,me encantan todas las temporadas ojalá sacaran una 9 temporada y que vendieran cosas del juego como peluches ### 5/5 — Travel in time *2024-12-06, version 1.43* 我很喜歡玩案發現場 ### 5/5 — Different but still the best *2024-09-10, version 1.43* It took me finishing the game to realize the changes are improvements and made the game more challenging and fun. You still can get bonuses by watching ads like more time on a level. I still couldn’t connect to facebook but that is okay. It didn’t interfere with the gameplay for me. Still think this series is the best hidden object game there is! ### 5/5 — Super jeu *2024-05-01* J’ai eu un peu de mal à rentrer dans l’histoire mais une fois dedans j’ai trouvé que le jeu se terminait trop rapidement Les personnages sont très attachants ### 5/5 — C’est pas normal *2024-04-05, version 1.41.2* Ce jeu est fantastique et c’est une aberration. Toute l’histoire suivi entre chaque épisode, le développement des personnages, les retournements de situation … je suis tellement triste de l’avoir fini. ### 5/5 — Fail to connect facebook account *2024-02-24, version 1.41.2* Hello I really like the game but I cannot connect to my facebook account, the page just doesn't open. Can u solve this problem asap? ### 5/5 — Cool game…Love it! *2023-11-30, version 1.41.2* I love the Criminal Case game series…they just keep getting better and better! I have 1 request please: Can er get a new game pretty please💜I have been playing these games for years and I never get tired of them…plenty of excitement, thanks!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
