### 5/5 — Pawsome!

*2023-05-23, version 1.1.32*

This game is great but even better when I play it in front of my cat!
I love all the cats you can get like mustiasio except you have to subscribe to be able to adopt the cats. Anyway it is an amazing game, I would recommend this to anyone.

### 1/5 — PLEASE JUST LET ME BUY THE CATS

*2023-04-13, version 1.1.32*

id rather just pay 99¢ for the game and be able to buy the cats with the cheeseburgers that i’ve earned PLEASEEE BRO

### 2/5 — Pay wall on most cats

*2022-07-03, version 1.1.32*

I used to love this game when it first came out! I redownloaded it for the nostalgia to find the unpleasant surprise of not being able to adopt new cats without buying a GamePlay subscription. Still an okay game but it killed the joy, probably will delete the app once it gets boring

### 1/5 — Tomala tat qiiquiq

*2021-03-11, version 1.1.32*

All the cats does the same sound.

### 4/5 — Why is it bad now :(

*2020-12-21, version 1.1.29*

I used to play this games when I was like 12 on my moms IPad, but for whatever reason now you have to pay like $4.99 a month to for game pass to adopt new cats, like what the heck that’s so unfair

### 3/5 — Good game but has flaws

*2020-09-17*

I enjoy playing this game a lot and it is one of my favorites, but it is very annoying how you are limited to so much while playing the game. In order to be able to do everything you have to pay a subscription. And I don’t think for a mobile game you should have to pay $5 a month.

**Developer response:** HackyCat is part of a larger game subscription service called GameClub — all-you-can-play access to a large library of curated games (including HackyCat), with hundreds of hours of gameplay within the subscription.

Though full access is only included with a subscription, we're committed to letting everyone "try before you buy" — to play enough to get a sense of the game free of charge. We also offer a free trial (that you can cancel at any time) so you can play as many of the games in our library as much as you want before spending any money. Hope you take a look at our other titles to give them a try!

### 2/5 — This game was great till game club bought it

*2020-07-06, version 1.1.22*

I played this when it first and out it was so fun and amazing but then game club bought it and now it’s awful firstly you can get more cats with out having a subscription and now basically you have to pay real money to win😡😡

### 5/5 — Why am I rich?

*2020-07-03, version 1.1.22*

I am rich with cheeseburger. And that is okay.

### 5/5 — This game is satisfyingly demented and addictive

*2020-06-20*

I’ve been been playing this game since it came out and for a while there it wasn’t updated with this iOS version so I experienced unfathomable sadness as you could imagine (as this game is definitely one of the staples of go-to amusement on my portable glowing communication devices) 
so I am insanely grateful that it’s back and I’m glad I never deleted and kept it there even when it wasn’t working because I missed it. Just kept the app in my graveyard of Apps and refused to delete it and I’m glad I never did. This game rocks. I feel like your brain would be one I would pick. Props friend. It has wrought much delight. Glad it’s still supported. And hearts. <3 woo!

### 3/5 — Kinda disappointing

*2019-11-15, version 1.1.14*

Had this game years ago and remembered having loved it. Rediscovered it recently and now you have to pay to use most of the features! It’s rather disappointing
