### 3/5 — Good but some issues

*2026-04-15, version 2.4*

Made me rage because when i was cutting the buttons it wouldn’t respond to me using my hands and also add ipad support so ipad users can enjoy it also very cool game indeed lol XD

### 4/5 — Ok

*2018-08-29, version 2.4*

I think that yo should be able not to have bolts but only If you go to settings and clic no bolts

### 3/5 — Touch sensitivity

*2014-09-12, version 2.3*

Should fix touch sensitivity. Has lots of potential.

### 4/5 — Download this app today!!!

*2014-09-12, version 2.3*

Fantastic graphics, and cool sound effects!

### 4/5 — Cut the buttons

*2014-09-12, version 2.3*

It's fun, but gets boring after a while!..

### 4/5 — awesome

*2014-09-11, version 2.3*

so great

### 2/5 — Fiddly game

*2014-09-11, version 2.3*

So trying to model yourself on fruit ninja bad choice. This game is too fiddly requiring  2 fingers to move the scissors and you can move the tub as well?  Fruit ninja excels in its simplicity. 1 finger swiping like mad once you get further in, but when you start it's slow,steady, easy.   At least start with only moving 1 blade of the snippers and an auto bucket pick up or a wide bucket at least. I will stick to FN thanks

### 3/5 — Meh ok game

*2014-09-10, version 2.3*

Its fun

### 2/5 — No thanks

*2014-09-10, version 2.3*

It's Fruit Ninja with awkward controls. Just play Fruit Ninja.

### 2/5 — Not for iPods/weird

*2014-09-10, version 2.3*

I don't understand why you'd want to play a game like this. 
Also, an iPod screen is far too small to play this game on, needing two fingers to control the operation of the scissors, and one to move the collection jar to collect the falling buttons. 
Overall, pretty pointless and unamusing. 3/10 wouldn't play again.

### 1/5 — Yep

*2015-12-30, version 2.4*

Not fun at all, and really janky to use a scissors with two of your fingers.

### 1/5 — needs inprovment

*2015-01-30, version 2.2.1*

these games are making the ap store stuiped make cut the buttons get off the app store the dumb game 
everyone rate this game 0stars

### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2014-09-29, version 2.3*

Worst "easy" game ever. 30 seconds in your hand is exhausted and your frustrated because it's too hard at the start. These stupid app games are  supposed to easy first to get you hooked so you'll buy the upgrades. Not this one!

### 1/5 — This hurts my fingers

*2014-09-11, version 2.3*

It should be tap the buttons

### 1/5 — Meh

*2014-09-11, version 2.3*

Would have been better if you didn't have to use two fingers to cut with the scissors.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2014-09-11, version 2.3*

Literally just a bad game.

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2014-09-11, version 2.3*

This was the worst game I have every played omg

### 1/5 — Bad. Just... bad.

*2014-09-10, version 2.3*

It doesn't explain well enough the rules, it requires 3 fingers... On a goddamn iPhone. iPad users... I don't advise it for you either. It has no real appealing catch, and I don't feel motivated to play at all.

### 1/5 — Very hard controls

*2014-09-10, version 2.3*

I just tried this game and like everyone else says... The controls are very hard on iPhone. I used my thumb to try to move the cup but then I couldn't see where the buttons were landing and the scissors were all over the place. Sorry but not worth the trouble with this app.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2014-09-10, version 2.3*

This app is terrible do not get it. I'd doesn't tell you how to use it dumb.

### 5/5 — Nostalgic and very fun. Definitely deserves more recognition

*2026-01-31, version 2.4*

Back then people couldn’t recognize peak. I loved and still love this game. Highly underrated and please DO NOT listen to the low ratings, cause again, they didnt recognize peak game design.. the attention to detail with the sound design is beautiful, the mechanics are unique and aren’t seen in any other mobile game, and its just super fun over all.

And maybe perhaps back then it might’ve been hard to play cause phones used to be super tiny, but now it’s of decent size and it’s perfect to play. I saw a review saying they don’t make it so left handed players can play, but that is a feature in this game! Maybe that feature wasn’t available when that review was made? 🤷 But yeah I 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a game to cure their boredom !

### 5/5 — THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!

*2020-03-03, version 2.4*

I’m Saria and I’m 10 years old.I played this game from since I was young, and I loved it soooo much!! It’s really awesome and you guys really worked hard on this games and I always stare at the details and I liked the sound a lot it’s very satisfying. This must be the best game ever, it’s so unique and different from other games.
I really hope that everyone would like this game!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2016-12-22, version 2.4*

### 5/5 — Recover

*2015-02-12, version 2.3*

I always loved this game! I had it in my Iphone 4S anda managed to collect all scissors and auto cup, however install it again in my Iphone 5S I lost all scissors and cup! Before we would win this by cutting buttons but now it is asking me to buy it. Can I recover it somehow?

5 stars to this game!! It is really addictive!!!

### 5/5 — Seriously

*2014-09-14, version 2.3*
