Please waste more time and make another, thank you. **Developer response:** If I made another, you'd just have two of the same app. Seems silly. How would you tell them apart even ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-10-01* There’s so many layers to it that branch off into other things and I want there to be endless layers **Developer response:** HINT: make the exploding head explode enough times and you might get a surprise ### 5/5 — Oh no *2023-09-24, version 179.6.242848* Pistachios ### 5/5 — Now I don’t need to listen to BTS, crying… *2023-08-23* Because I can listen to BTS while playing this game! And once I’m done writing this review, I’ll go pretend to date anime boys! Life is da best when you got da best game ever! 👻(da ghost is me mark) I used to cry because of Mr. Jimmie, he stole me life away in a flash of cruelty. I wasn’t prepared for what happened. I cried rivers of tears, even my blood would leak in those rivers. I wanted to be dead… But now, I just want to sleep with Choi Soobin. K-pop guys, and anime boys, the only thing I’ll ever love, besides this game! 👻😈🇺🇸💸☕️😵🕶😎🐰🥹🤬🚬🧨(LIGHT IT UP LIKE DYNAMITE) ❤️🔥🙀🙊🐺🕸🦇🐣🪺🐲🌷 **Developer response:** "Don't Buy This App": quite similar to K-pop. ### 5/5 — 👍👁👄👁💅 *2023-08-13* I am a lemur and I can use this app when I saw this on my tv I thought it would be like every other app but it’s the missing piece of my life **Developer response:** We were hoping some lemurs were using our app. We knew it was possible, but thank you for the confirmation! ### 5/5 — Aa *2023-05-14, version 179.6.242848* I offended ot and now i think its behind me ### 5/5 — If only the evil Chinese sea monkeys from outer space knew.. *2023-03-31* The story I’m about to tell came about moments after downloading this app. This morning when I woke up I put a pinkish/orange bath towel down the back of my shirt and pretended it was my super hero cape. Even though it was pinkish/orange I pretended it was BLUE. I pretended it was blue cause that’s the color cape my super hero would wear. When I came up with this super hero I wanted to pick something really super original. Because he was wrastling gatorcrocs and wearing a blue cape (cause that's what I pretended it was) i thought 🤔💭gators are in water and my cape is blue like water 🤔 and I thought there aren't any water super heroes so i am calling him Aquatic-Man, or Aquaman! I haven't decided yet. So it makes sense why he wrastled 2 amphibians in earlier chapters. Snakes and alligators. But this time our fearful leader was attacking a different kind of problem. I pretended all the sugar in my house was cocaine (but don’t worry it wasn’t cocaine, it was just coffee creamer 🤫), and I pretended my shed was a middle school and I had to stop the cocaine (remember it’s just sugar I took from my house it wasn’t really cocaine, it was just coffee creamer 🤫) from affecting our children. So I ran into the school (which was really just a shed) and I pretended my tooth brush was a sword and I chopped all the bags of cocaine (remember I’m just pretending) up and threw them against the walls so that the kids couldn’t do it no more! After I scolded the 7 year olds, I threatened the lives of their parents if they ever went near the cocky doo doo powder (that’s what I told them the name of it was, that way they would think it’s gross) again. So with my powers of mass destruction, & my firm talking ability... and 3 years of intense psychological, hypnotic drug rehab the small 7 year olds were for the most part, eventually, kinda, maybe a little bit but not much, barely even noticeably almost better... but not really. Can you imagine what would have become had I not downloaded this app? ### 5/5 — This game has personality saved my life 😍😍😍✨ *2023-03-14* Good greetings dear reader!! Onto my story *dramatic throat clear* so, I was sitting in my house peacefully as one does, talking to my crystals 🤩🤩🤩 (because I am a witch 🧙‍♀️ ✨✨✨✨🤩🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌) when suddenly my house spontaneously caught on water 😱😱😱😱😭😭😭😭😭😭😭!! It washed away my house and my crystals into the nearby tornado and I watched as every thing I worked on was destroyed 😞😞😔. I was forced to sleep in the streets of Ohio where I befriended every singular raccoon and it’s mother and fell asleep with them and their raccoon tribe 😤😤😤😤😤🤘🤘🤘🤘!! When I awoke I was somehow in Hogwarts with twenty three thousand times the amount of crystals I originally had 😊😊😊😊😊🤩🤩🤩✨ I instantly killed Voldemort and became a God like hero everyone bowed to!! I strongly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — hiiIi pl_-eapaw notic *2023-01-26, version 179.6.242848* plis notise may big faan ### 5/5 — Holy crap *2023-01-04, version 179.6.242848* This app is…how do I say this……hilarious as heck, I don’t know why, it’s so goddamn beautiful ### 5/5 — Agreeable *2022-11-24, version 179.6.242848* I agree with floating cat head ### 5/5 — ✨Truly Life Changing✨ *2022-11-16* Before I got this app, I was living in the trees with my fox friend Jeopardy, (you don’t have a fox friend named Jeopardy?) when I went to go get supplies with my fox friend, as you do when you’re living in the woods with no human contact, when suddenly, a hunter shot Jeopardy, leaving me alone. My heart filled with hate, I downloaded this app, and suddenly, all my troubles melted away like butter on a pan. I got up to find Jeopardy’s ghost haunting my scarf, and suddenly it all made sense. Now I live by myself, occasionally talking to my scarf, while using this app. ### 5/5 — very nice reviwe *2022-09-25, version 179.6.242848* cumkwat ### 5/5 — Poo *2022-09-03, version 179.6.242848* This game gave my left toe a infectiosnsb. Bejdjdkx ### 5/5 — Revolutionary *2022-07-21* Ever since my girlfriend left me for the raccoon that lives in our garage, I’ve been sustaining myself with nothing but peanut butter, until I found this game. This game shall give me all the sustenance I need to survive until I meet my own raccoon! ### 5/5 — Lol *2022-07-19, version 179.6.242848* Really funny 😂 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glad I didn't buy this app *2016-09-09, version 179.6.242848* I'm glad I got it for free, id feel like I wasted money if I bought it at any cost ### 2/5 — Monty Python it is not *2017-02-26, version 179.6.242848* Although the developers certainly see it that way. Seriously, do not waste your time. It is not clever, artistic, layered, meta, ironic, or any other word that would imply some degree of wit. ### 4/5 — Everything I ever wanted *2023-08-04* This app has given me a new lease on life. I was down on my luck, bored and having a terrible day, when I found this app. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it’s been wonderful. Ever since I correctly answered that I wanted tea and received my prize, Europe, I’ve been hooked. I bounced a baby around and destroyed Ryan Gosling, I learned that Wyoming is the first ever salsa-only state, I’ve fed rockets to bunnies, and I learned Spanish from Queen Elizabeth I. I have 100 pugs and 50 horses and all my friends are jealous. I am also married with five kids, and everybody clapped. M **Developer response:** You've really made the grade! ### 4/5 — Wonderfully surreal(but Glitchy?) *2023-01-20, version 179.6.242848* I really liked this until I hit on the “improve this art“/scream section. -it just glitched and you couldn’t interact with the app anymore. (although who knows that might be what was supposed to happen …like a dead end, kind of thing?!) ### 5/5 — I need help *2026-07-10* I know a lot of ppl in the comments are saying how good it is but there is so little to do I just wanna know if I’m missing something please developers tell me what I’m supposed to do ### 5/5 — Work Time Fun? *2026-03-29, version 179.6.242848* This game is awesome Lol, if you remember (WTF) “Work Time Fun” on Sony PSP then this app is for you 😂. I just wish there was more things being updated like newer random games?. Anyways love this type of Genere?? Games? ### 5/5 — Awesome sauce *2024-12-09* Dear creator: This is utterly perplexing, this app opens a master lock in my brain to unfold dreams in my every night sleeping experiences. Especially baby’s bouncing off of hot dogs. I enjoy it for the reason it represents my personality. Best regards… -TheEightBall 🎱 Ps: before downloading this app a celestial gold fish was riding on a pbj and told me to the the worm (as usual)after that I transported to a room full of platypus that told me to check my phone the App Store was open to this game (thank the platypus.) **Developer response:** We were aware of most of this functionality except for the PBJ. There is no PBJ in "Don't Buy This App". Is it possible you've confused it with your lunch box? ### 5/5 — YES *2024-11-24, version 179.6.242848* Yes yes yes ### 5/5 — BUY NOW *2024-11-16* This game cured my cancer ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME!!!! *2024-10-22, version 179.6.242848* We need updates🙏🙏 not that there’s literally ANYTHING that’s not perfect about this,I’d just like more options! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — plunging asymptote *2024-09-26, version 179.6.242848* a white noise more torturous than silence ### 5/5 — Very informative! *2024-09-04, version 179.6.242848* The owl teached me how to say fish sticks or something like that in Indian. And today I was in India and needed to order fish sticks from a sewer man. Really helpful! ### 5/5 — Wow *2024-07-30, version 179.6.242848* Pretty sure the creators carbon monoxide monitor was broken whilst creating this but that just makes it better <3 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-04-03* This app has changed my life in a way I could never even describe. **Developer response:** COULD never... or WOULD never? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
