### 2/5 — Endless mode?

*2026-05-09*

No such thing as an endless mode. It stops you whenever it so chooses. Sometimes I make it to 80,00 and high score is 113,000. It stops it at random other times. I check to see how many challenges I’ve failed and it’s never been over 3. It would stop it if I failed none. It’s just annoying and false advertising. Plus it’s a knock off of Emily. Decent to waste time but definitely NOT YOUR MONEY.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re always looking for ways to improve, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Your input helps us make the experience even better. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see, feel free to let us know. Happy gaming! 😊

### 4/5 — No Story

*2026-04-07, version 1.1*

This one had no story, it’s kinda just for fun. I wouldn’t buy the full after the trial.

### 1/5 — Ads after purchasing game

*2026-02-01, version 1.1*

I purchased the game for $14.99 and didn’t subscribe to their membership.  You would think that purchasing the game would include “No Ads” but nope.  That sucks!

### 1/5 — Fun game but ads ruin it

*2026-01-31, version 1.1*

Love the actual game but having to watch an ad or two to play each level is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2025-12-08, version 1.1*

I’ve had this since November and I have yet to be able to get past the Accept screen. When I tap accept the screen just goes black. This is a broken app.

I’ve deleted and downloaded twice and still it doesn’t work.

Not worth the effort in downloading something broken.

I had to give it one star to post this review. 

I hope this gets fixed because I am a fan of the Delicious Emily games.

### 1/5 — Subscription option only

*2025-10-21, version 0.4*

I would like to be able to purchase games individually.

### 1/5 — Subscriptions, the death of all joy!

*2025-10-19, version 0.4*

To think I’m supposed to watch an ad before and after each level or pay $14.99 for a game. The developers have truly lost it. This game will be promptly deleted from my device.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-10-19, version 0.4*

Love it

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2025-10-05, version 0.4*

I am a senior who has played all of Emily’s games. This one is great as well! It’s a bit different but I’m finding it easy to understand and very enjoyable!

### 4/5 — Level 71

*2025-09-30, version 0.4*

Tried numerous times but cannot complete Level 71. Not enough
customers to achieve challenge: 9 out of 12 multiple customers only.
PLEASE FIX!!!
