Have to watch 2 ads for every level. One at the end and another to advance. Way way too much, ruined enjoyment of the game. ### 2/5 — Poor animation *2025-02-24, version 1.4* Bring back the beautiful animation in Delicious World! Frank and Patrick look awful. Love the music though! The levels are about the same but some levels are designed to where you need boosters to succeed. ### 3/5 — Game is good, ads are too much *2025-01-17, version 1.4* I understand the concept of a “free to play with ads” game and I understand that you can pay for the subscription to get it ad free. This isn’t a new concept or anything. Maybe it’s more recently that companies have been pushing the limit on the ads to game play ratio. The sad things is, this game is good. It’s well designed, the level play is smooth, and even the story is interesting (major props to the devs). It’s a great game and if I had disposable income, I would probably buy it. But, I don’t, so I can only play with ads, which normally isn’t a big deal to me. But I think they need to adjust their ratio. For a level that takes approximately 2 minutes including the snippet of story I get with it, I have to watch a 90 second ad before playing the level and a 60 second ad after. That’s wild. When your ad breaks are longer than the actual gameplay, you’re going to lose out on players (and ad viewers) because in today’s market time management games are a dime a dozen and I’ve played others with significantly less ad time to game play. To be clear, I’m not complaining that there are ads, but if GameHouse wants to figure out how to retain players on their free option so they can continue to gain ad revenue, I’d suggest setting limits on the length of ads or reducing it to only before a level and not after as well. Just some food for thought. I probably won’t continue the game at this rate even though it is fun, but if they adjust this in the future I’d be happy to come back. ### 2/5 — Not enough *2024-12-18, version 1.4* I paid $ to play without ads, which I don’t mind. People need to make a living. However, this game was so brief. I finished the whole thing in a week or so. I am used to there being many levels, I was shocked when it ended. Not worth paying for it! ### 2/5 — Ads out of control *2024-12-01, version 1.4* Great game, but the ads are crazy! A full minute ad at the beginning of each level, and a quicker one at the end of each level. Given that each level doesn’t even take three minutes, just seems excessive. ### 5/5 — Brilliant as always *2024-11-27, version 1.4* Love the Emily games from the beginning when she met first Francois through all the adventures they have. It’s so immersive before you know it a couple of hours have passed. ### 5/5 — IS THIS A REAL GAME?! *2024-10-04, version 1.3* I am shocked to see some one star reviews! This game won my heart and deserved this five star! As a person from this generation, I saw my mother playing this game, she said it was a series since she was a child! I honestly didn’t expect it to be this good! I’m so addicted! This has upgrades and achievements and even your own wedding venue! So much to do! ### 1/5 — Nope *2024-09-30, version 1.3* The app doesn’t even fully open and force closes itself. ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2024-09-28, version 1.3* Love the Delicious games but this is frustrating. I pay 10$ a month for all games and no ads but despite restoring purchases and trying everything else this game will not let me proceed without ads. ### 1/5 — Too many bugs *2024-09-27, version 1.3* The game keeps closing every time I try and open it. I uninstalled it and re installed it and it now has started me completely over. I click recover and it wont do anything. I’ve been paying the monthly fee and now for nothing. Now the game is back to crashing every time I try and open it!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — FROZEN *2026-07-24, version 1.7* Upgraded the app and it won’t load to the map of the game!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Adult content ads in between the game.. be mindful *2026-02-14, version 1.4* We have to watch ads for this game in between the levels which is annoying and the fact that adult content ads are playing is something of a serious concern considering the game is for kids. Gamehouse should be mindful of what’s playing in between the levels instead of blindly ignoring it. The ads should be kid friendly. Be careful. ### 1/5 — Ads on ads *2025-02-20, version 1.4* You spend more time watching ads than playing the levels. Each level is roughly 1.5 mins long and ads are easily 3 mins between EACH level. Not worth it, not worth buying the ad free subscription. Simply DONT BOTHER!!! ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-02-16, version 1.4* I get they have a subscription you can pay for no ads but having to play nearly 2 minute ads before and after every level is ridiculous and makes the game unplayable. Definitely shouldn’t spend money on a game that does that, just don’t waste your time and save your money don’t play the game. ### 1/5 — Outdated *2025-02-05, version 1.4* It offers to double coins you have you have to subscribe, but when I go to login into my GameHouse, which I already have a subscription, it never logged me in ### 1/5 — Advertisements *2025-01-30, version 1.4* Even with subscription it the game makes you watch crazy long advertisements. Customer service is non responsive. ### 1/5 — The ads are longer then the levels *2024-12-27, version 1.4* Don’t waste your time. It’s just more of the same game anyway. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-11-25, version 1.4* When you get to level 48 it asks you to pay monthly subscription or continue with adds when you click continue with ads and try to play level 49 it won’t let you. ### 1/5 — Nope *2024-11-07, version 1.4* I love the delicious games. But this is ridiculous. If you don’t want to pay $10/month you can pay for the game for $15. That’s outrageous. And if you want to just watch ads, starting at level 6 you will watch an ad before and after every game level. No thank you. ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2024-10-12, version 1.3* Hey I just downloaded this game and it crashes doesn’t let me play it at all ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 希望早日出汉化版 *2025-12-09, version 1.4* 希望早日出中文版 ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-12-07, version 1.4* So fun but i finished the game in two weeks only :( ### 5/5 — Classic *2025-11-07, version 1.4* Been playing these games, mainly Emily games, since I was a teenager and I’m now almost 29 years old. Will always be a fan. Thank you ! ### 5/5 — Love all Delicious games *2025-08-30, version 1.4* As a longtime Delicious player (since the very first game!), I have to say this is one of the best in the entire series. It brings back everything I love: character-driven storytelling, satisfying time management gameplay, and real emotional stakes with twists that kept me hooked from start to finish. No energy meters, no microtransaction nonsense—just a full game, fully worth paying for. Please, GameHouse: keep making more like this (and Fabulous- Angela!) and less like Delicious World. 🙃 ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2025-08-21, version 1.4* I have been playing Gamehouse games for years, and they just keep getting better. Especially the Delicious Emily games. This one has a fun mystery for Emily and Francois to solve, and I like that this it’s focused more on the two best friends and a little less on the whole family. It’s fun and challenging and I had zero problems or issues. I bought this one, because I own every Emily game and I like to go back and play different ones sometimes (their honeymoon is a big favorite). But for the newest Emily game I’ve decided to try the Gamehouse subscription. I think it’ll be fun 😎 Thanks for so many years of great games GH ### 5/5 — Wish there was more levels *2025-08-11, version 1.4* Wish there was more levels ### 5/5 — Sequels pls!! Emily and Francois are the best!! *2025-01-11, version 1.4* I loved this, felt so much like the classic Delicious Emily games for pc!! The setting was beautiful, the mystery was exciting, and the characters were awesome. I missed Francois having a bigger part like this in the recent games. Sooooo much better than Delicious: Cooking & Romance (Emily’s kids are annoying and Paige’s dialogue was so cringe in that game) ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-01-02, version 1.4* More games please!! ### 5/5 — My Review *2024-12-05, version 1.4* This game is really enjoyable. I am really enjoying playing the game. Thank you for downloading the game on my phone. ### 5/5 — Most challenging game to date! *2024-11-30, version 1.4* I’ve played all games of Emily and for me, this game is the most challenging of all. I didn’t expect to have to restart because I’m not going to reach the 1st star which is the bare minimum of passing the level. It’s either this is the hardest one to play or I’ve gotten slower in playing this game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
