### 4/5 — Good but there’s one bug

*2020-12-31, version 1.0.24*

I played this game before and I really liked it but that was one or two years ago so I went back on it today but I’m stuck on the loading screen and I really want to play it again and start a new spy academy

### 3/5 — Purchases

*2020-07-29, version 1.0.24*

This game shud be able to buy things like $tarch and stuff

### 4/5 — Fun for awhile

*2020-07-27*

This game has a beautifully realized art style and fun lite-management features. After a few days I stopped launching the game because it felt a bit shallow. But sim/management games are my favorite so I may have judged the game a bit harshly or expected more than was promised. I don’t regret the purchase though as I love seeing non freemium apps in the store.

### 4/5 — Progress Sync has issues

*2020-04-01, version 1.0.24*

Was loving the game, it’s nothing ground breaking - but is complex enough and with enough depth to be engaging. 

However, just opened the app back up and I’m at the beginning of SunnyTown (for those that haven’t played) about two hours of progress, gone. 

Saves are uploaded to iCloud and don’t seem to be that reliable.

### 4/5 — LOVE THIS GAME!!!

*2019-05-19*

I first got introduced to this game by DanTDM, AND I LOVE IT! The story, spies, idea, AMAZING!!! Don’t ever change it.

**Developer response:** Hi RainbowPanther2609,

### 3/5 — OK

*2019-04-27, version 1.0.23*

This game is good but I keep on getting to situations I can't get through and it's always in sunny side city with missions like ... just its impossible because ... well .

### 2/5 — Really fun, but problem with save files

*2019-04-15*

Every time before quitting the game, I save the file. When I come back to the game, the save file doesn’t match my progress. I decided to delete the game because I was sick of having to replay what I’ve already played.

**Developer response:** Hi there, 
We are very sorry to hear about your issue. Save files are saved locally and on iCloud, and sometimes, the data on iCloud is not as updated as the local files and may contradict with the local save files. Therefore, I suggest that you try to turn off iCloud and try the game again, however, as you have deleted the game, local save files will be gone as well and you may have to start again.
Do let us know if you have any other feedback as well.
Have a great day.
Best Regards,
Daylight Studios

### 3/5 — Has been fixed

*2019-04-13, version 1.0.23*

Yay! Thanx for fixing so quick! 

It’s a pretty cool game don’t think you should have to save if it kind of runs in real time!

### 3/5 — 😐

*2019-04-09*

I love the game itself, but it always takes like 10 tries to get in it without crashing, please fix this game.

**Developer response:** Hi DieselDeWesel,

We are very sorry to hear about your issue. May I know what happened exactly to your device when you tried to load the game, and what was the device that you loaded the game on, as well as the OS version?
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Daylight Studios

### 4/5 — It’s so hard

*2019-04-06*

The games good but it’s so hard

**Developer response:** Hi there,
There are many ways for you to actually make your spies better to complete missions easier. You can also ask other players on our Discord as well :)

### 3/5 — Why did it freeze

### 2/5 — Boring

*2019-04-03, version 1.0.22*

### 5/5 — Lies!!!!!

*2019-04-03, version 1.0.22*

The game doesn’t kick you out. It’s amazing

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2019-04-01*

I guess I’m one of the lucky ones it is working on my iPhone X, and it’s a great game. To everyone else, it’s NOT a scam it’s a bug or Device compatibility issue, either way it’s  fixable. You will like it once it is.

**Developer response:** Hi wboonne79,

We are glad to hear that you enjoy HPSPY and thank you so much for your support :)
We are working hard to bring out the patch so that everyone can enjoy the game as soon as possible.

Really fun game!

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately

*2019-04-02*

The developer responses all indicate the game crashes on older devices. I’m on an iPhone XS Max - so this isn’t the issue. Please fix!

**Developer response:** Hi sine909,
The latest update to fix the issue for older devices is out now. For your case, we have tested on iPhone XS Max, and there is no issue with it. May I know if the game crashes from the start, or when you are inside the game? Also, have you tried to disable iCloud and try to load the game again?
We look forward to hearing more from you, so that we can troubleshoot the issue and ensure that you can enjoy the game :)

### 1/5 — Why

*2019-03-30, version 1.0.22*

Don’t buy this if they fix the bug I would love it

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — LOVE I WANT TO SEE MORE

*2022-06-18*

I love this game so much and it really entertained me I think it is ridiculous and appropriate and I appreciate it very much also I love the characters (some more than others) and I can crush all my other spys with my maxed out souper Maria

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2021-08-17, version 1.0.24*

Just finished it. Gotta say, the story is great and the gameplay is really deep, it’s one of my most-enjoyed games on the App Store. It took me about 15 hours to complete a leisurely playthrough on the easiest difficulty - by the way, 100%ing a Spyro game takes about twelve. I’d imagine it would take upwards of 20 or so hours to fully complete the game, so it’s not got the same insane value as Terraria but you’re certainly getting your money’s worth. The only criticism I have is that you can’t play post-final mission, it’ll just take you back to your previous save. This is kind of dumb because the final mission gives you 100,000 Starch, plus those trait-enhancing cookie thingies (spoiler, but not major) would be overpowered but pretty cool. I’d rate this game a solid 9/10 and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with some wallet balance to burn, along with the rest of the series.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-04-30*

This is a great game it it very fun and is worth the five dollars but one thing when you gets gifts my spy(din din) can’t get the gift it’s just gray I don’t want him to betray him he is very good.please respond!great game but fix this bug please thank you

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2020-04-16, version 1.0.24*

I love the game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-04-13, version 1.0.24*

Thanks for fixing the bugs it’s a really fun game to play.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2020-04-09*

I love the game it is a great game I will always love it 
I also like weapon shop

### 5/5 — Love the Potatoes Franchise

*2020-03-30*

I think as far as design and animation are concerned Daylight Studios is second to none. They just have a style that is consistent and pleasing and it extends to every area of the games they create.

To bad that most of time I can’t enjoy the beautiful scenery because their games have me wildly tapping my screen desperately trying to utilize every single second to get that $tarch so that I can get that next upgrade that will just make me work harder. Wait! Are all of these games just a commentary on the futility of business?

Wonderfully crafted games. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

### 5/5 — Holy Potatoes! I Love This Game!!

*2020-01-17, version 1.0.24*

I love this game a lot it’s got good graphics, art style and storyline.
I recommend to all for HOURS! of fun! :D

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2019-04-07, version 1.0.23*

This game is really good quality! Th discord is really good to chat to is well! I love it,

### 5/5 — Finally

*2019-04-07*

The game finally let me in thank you sooo much can you make more games like this so one day everyone will play your games so I suggest building a game called holy potatoes a life story plzzzzzz put the game for free because this game emptied my account so I can’t buy anymore  thank you so much if your reading this please make the game and for free

**Developer response:** Hi sddlofi,
Thank you for supporting the game and we are glad to hear that you are able to enjoy HPSPY now. And yes, noted on that, another idea for our next Holy Potatoes game maybe :)
