### 4/5 — VoiceOver

*2019-12-15, version 3.8*

Hi.
  I really appreciate how liners, batters, and other things are described. There's a few issues, however.
  Whenever VoiceOver users want to put things in the pan, we have to turn off VoiceOver, tap in certain places, and just hope that the cupcakes are in the pan. I'm wondering if you all would please make it to where we could double tap the cupcakes, then they'd just go into the pan. Also, when you're dragging items to the fridge, or trying to put things into the bowl, whilst baking from scratch, VoiceOver doesn't seem to tell you when things are in the bowl, or what items you're moving.
  Will you all please make it to where VoiceOver will read the baking time you've set with the oven dial? We have to turn off VoiceOver to set the bake time, too. Just turning it clockwise...
  The eating... Yes, you can double tap on the cupcake, and you hear the eating sound, but I'm not sure when it's all gone. Wonder if you all could put something up that says, "One fourth eaten." Then, when it's completely eaten, it'll say something like, "All gone. Sad times."
  It'd also be cool if there were a button that you could press, to take the liner off, before eating.
  I know that was a lot, but I really do enjoy the game, and would be very happy if it were even more accessible than it is now. Keep up the good work. I have faith in you.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2017-08-22, version 3.8*

This is an awesome game I love this game it's fun to play when your board and I rate this 4 stars because I like how you can decorate the cupcakes anyway you want and set the timer any time you want thank you for making this game😊

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2017-02-17, version 3.7*

I love this! I only wish that the holiday expansion pack contained Fourth of July options, like the option to put an American flag sticker, or white stars for the frosting, a deeper shade of red frosting, on American flag liner, and things like that to create a Fourth of July themed cupcake:)

### 2/5 — What

*2016-09-29, version 3.7*

It said free but then I downloaded it and it said it cost money 😶

### 3/5 — Cupcakes

*2016-08-12, version 3.7*

I love this game but it won't let me lick the frosting and the graphics are a little bad but I love it

### 4/5 — Mostly accessible with VoiceOver.

*2016-05-27, version 3.7*

When I bake the cupcakes using pre-made cake batter, I am able to do everything from baking to decorating to choosing liners. However, when I mix the cake batter from scratch, the game is less accessible. I can drag the ingredients into the bowl, but I am unable to proceed after this point. Please fix this. Also, please make it so VoiceOver can announce timer increments.
Thanks so much for listening.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

### 5/5 — good

*2015-02-21, version 3.7*

just cannot figure out how to purchase an app to pieces

### 5/5 — Fun App

*2015-02-08, version 3.7*

This is a pretty cute and easy way to pass the time.

### 3/5 — Cupcake review

*2015-02-04, version 3.7*

Bought this app for my kids as I was tired of the ads and in app purchases from the free ones. The graphics are terrible and the app looks pretty old. The making of the cupcakes is not realistic. Newer apps offer way more options to decorate.

### 5/5 — I love everything about this game

*2015-01-27, version 3.6.1*

I love all the liners and the deco and the frosting I showed my grandma and she even loved it this is suitable for all ages
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks maverick

### 3/5 — Well

*2014-12-12, version 3.6.1*

I love the cupcake app. The reason that I give 3 stars is because you have been on a summer break for quite a while now. I mean you have been on a break since June all the way until December. I've always looked forward to entering the contests granted I never win. Unless there has been a calendar not flipped or a humongo family emergency I'm pretty sure summer is over and that you invented an app, you should really make a prior commitment to it. Merry Christmas to Maverick.

### 5/5 — Cup cakes

*2014-11-09, version 3.7*

The reason I gave this app five stars it's because it has voiceover accessibility support please add background music and sound effects throughout the whole app so that way blind people know what they're doing if they are mixing it should have a sound affect like if they're mixing if they're adding toppings they should have sound the whole line should have sound as well put them on the pan and all of the frosting Zen toppings should have sound including the chocolate chips

### 5/5 — Fun times!

*2014-10-23, version 3.6.1*

### 5/5 — 5 stars forever

*2014-10-19, version 3.6.1*

### 1/5 — It shuts off when we try to put the creation in the oven.

*2025-12-21, version 3.8*

It keeps shutting off. The icons at the bottom are extremely annoying because little kids tap them then need help to get back where they want to go. I’ve had this app for years and bought the update. Wish I had the old one back. At least it worked.

### 1/5 — Very Disapointing

*2013-01-18, version 3.0*

first it was fun but then it started showing all these advertisement and that was really annoying. And it never does what you want it to do it always does something else. I DO NOT APPRECIATE IT!!! Do not bye it it is really annoying full stop.

### 1/5 — Disappointing update

*2012-10-31, version 2.9*

This game was great until the new update.  It was a greedy move by maverick to get more money.  They have added several "packs" that you need to unlock before playing.  If you are going to do that, make the app free.  When people buy paid apps, they don't expect more in-app purchases.  This game is no longer suitable for children because of this.  Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2012-04-26, version 2.6.1*

Annoying

### 1/5 — Update!!!

*2012-03-11, version 2.5*

Used to be a great app but the update made it crash !!!! Now it doesnt open !!! Plz fix and il rate it 5 stars !!!!

### 1/5 — Langweilig

*2011-02-12, version 1.8*

Total langweilig

### 1/5 — An awesome app that Crashes your phone

*2010-07-20, version 0*

This was an awesome app when running on iOS 3.x.  But once apple launched iOS4, this app crashes continually. Even after the vendors recent fix of what they called a "rare" startup failure. I've done everything possible to get it to run and it launches, shows you the start screen and the pan to make cupcakes and then crashes when you attempt to use the app. Sounds like they've still got fixes to do. Tested it 3 more times. Reboot phone, delete app, repurchase and install, all to no avail. Appears to be a definite bug in the program not phone (3G).

Hope they fix it as my 2 year old son misses playing this one. Will have to find a competitor's cupcake maker app until they fix this one.

### 5/5 — OK, but when you scroll to the very bottom of the info page, the game just crashes like a trap.

*2026-07-21, version 3.8*

This game is OK where you make cupcakes, but in the info screen, if you reach the bottom, then the game crashes like being captured in a trap. What a scam, Maverick. Waste of $$$.  Please fix that issue or I’m deleting the app and get my money back now.

### 5/5 — READ

*2019-07-30, version 3.8*

I love this game one of my oldest games and have had it since I was like 5( on and off) just re got it really recommend for a fun easy game

### 5/5 — Funfunfunn

*2018-10-06, version 3.8*

Love itt, it makes me so hungryy cos im fat lolololol xoxox 

Edit:

Original review created in 2010 when I had my first iPod touch! This game is the bomb, still holds up although graphics could be improved a lot. Makes me hungry still

### 5/5 — Addictively good

*2018-07-22, version 3.8*

Looking back at it now it looks so stupid and repetitive but when I was much younger it was by far the best game out there. That was 6 years ago and I am 13 now. Purchase for young and creative children.

### 5/5 — Great for my daughters

*2018-07-09, version 3.8*

My 4 and 11 year old daughters love this game. It’s a great little game they can either play together or meet me or by themselves. I love that you can choose different cupcake liners and different batters; we love mixing up the different recipes.  There are a ton of different frostings patterns and decorations, and you even get to put on candles and eat the cupcakes!

### 5/5 — Please Bring Back the Cupcake Themed Contest

*2017-07-27, version 3.8*

Hey Maverick!! I just re downloaded some of your apps today because I miss them from when I was in middle school! I remember a long time ago that you used to do this thing where each week or day (I don't remember) you gave the app users a theme and they would create a cupcake with that theme and submit it and you would post the best ones! Do you think you could bring that back? It was so much fun!! Thanks :)

### 5/5 — Jaemi

*2017-03-28, version 3.7*

Like the app but needs in update 🎂

### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE

*2015-05-27, version 3.7*

One reason I love this app so much and all the maverick food apps is that u can also use the recipes seen on the game. I just tried one and it worked perfectly. Plus the game is absolutely adorable and fun to play

### 5/5 — Fun app!

*2015-04-29, version 3.7*

This app  can help pass the time if you don't have anything to do.

### 5/5 — good application

*2015-04-27, version 3.7*

thank you to the developer Maverick games for making this application and other applications like it accessible. I really do appreciate it as a blind person.
