### 5/5 — Dr. Cares

*2025-11-23, version 1.19*

I am crushed… I must say I am incredibly disappointed that you folks did not make another one. It even stated that all the characters would be back at the end of this one?!?? It’s not too late… PLEASE consider following up with more. Just  like Emily and Angela… I think many of us that have been playing these games since the very start would LOVE to have Dr. Cares back!!! What’s not to like?!?? All the characters are so lovable. Just like Emily. Decided to play all three of these all over again.

### 3/5 — pourquoi sa marche pas

*2025-11-12, version 1.19*

jsuis bloquer au niveau 7 et rien ne bouge .

### 5/5 — I miss Dr. Cares and all the characters!

*2025-05-01, version 1.19*

I have just replayed all 3 and am wondering if they will ever return. It’s been 7 years already. Hopefully there will be more.

### 5/5 — Super tolles Spiel

*2025-02-04, version 1.19*

Einfach klasse 😍

### 1/5 — Don’t buy the subscription!

*2025-01-27, version 1.19*

I’ve had the Gamehouse subscription for a couple years and it seems recently even though you pay  them $9.99 a month you are still forced to watch ads. Buy the game outright. Otherwise you will waste your money!

### 1/5 — Abusé

*2024-07-19, version 1.19*

Franchement abusé aux moments où sa demande de payer et qu’on refuse il nous marque un problème internet alors qu’il y en a aucun.
Impossible de dépassée le niveau 6 alors que vous dite dans votre description de pouvoir avancer sans payer

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-03-28, version 1.19*

So fun would recommend! 🫶🏻

### 1/5 — Ужас.

*2024-03-02, version 1.19*

1. Игра хорошая, сюжет интересный. 2. Классные мини-игры. 3.Идеальная рисовка. Это все плюсы.
Минусы: 1. Часто глючит, частотен реагирует на касание (у меня новый айфон 13, который мне подарили 3 дна назад). 2. Все происходит СЛИШКОМ быстро, ничего не успеваешь. 3. Задержки загрузки. 4. Не загружается 6 уровень в 1 главе. Просит подключение к интернету, интернет есть, деньги есть, связь есть, что делать не понятно.

### 3/5 — Dr cares family practice

*2024-01-15, version 1.19*

I like this game but wish you could skip the intros before each level

### 2/5 — Mi si è bloccato

*2023-10-29, version 1.19*

Sono arrivata alla terza parte e quando vado per giocare mi parte la publicità e dopo mi si blocca e non riesco più a giocare.
Mi dispiace darvi due stelle perchè il gioco è bellissimo, da cinque stelle e non due stelle, ma se le cose vanno così se lo merita.
