This has been happening all day. ### 2/5 — Game isn’t progressing *2024-04-12* I am literally stuck on a level due the game not progressing it stalls while the clock still runs down, meaning the characters don’t move on or checkout they just keep working out not ordering food, nothing works I have tried fast shoes, increasing the product speed, upgrades and nothing it’s just stuck. ### 3/5 — Slow to update *2024-04-02* Love this game but I think I will be deleting it soon. They have not update this game in months , so I haven’t even been able to play it. ### 3/5 — Incentive *2023-06-27, version 27.1* There’s no incentive to carry on, not everyone can afford to buy diamonds to progress, showing everyone is treated with compassion including those that buy diamonds 💎 make it more doable please ### 2/5 — Error Occurred *2023-05-22* Error message occurs with the latest gym update. Please fix. ### 2/5 — Bien, mais beaucoup de bug *2023-03-14* Le jeu est bien mais beaucoup de bug : il m’est arrivé souvent que la partie se termine avant que j’aille terminé mon chrono avec encore des clients, le jeu te dit que tu as perdu mais tu as rempli la demande (des 👍🏽 par exemple), des bug de graphisme, parfois la partie ne démarre pas parce qu’aucun client n’apparaît. ### 3/5 — Great *2023-03-04* Great game, I think that there should be a bonus money for every equipment clean at the end of each level completed. Helps to earn more money 👍🏼 ### 3/5 — Fun game but need fixes *2023-02-24* I like the concept of this game. Nice animation for different gym exercise. It’s a time management (like restaurant time management games), you ensure each gym member get to their requested gym equipment to workout, bring them water or whatever. The main bug is that, you watch an ad to get free booster, say for 3 minutes, the clock starts when the ad is over, not when you close the add, nor start timer when you start the level. You lose a lot of time for the free booster. Please fix this. Another annoying thing is the pet. The pet needs attention, food, clean. That’s fine, but watch ad to perform the task doesn’t even give rewards. Even more, you don’t even SEE the pet when theses request pop up, only HEAR the aninam whining. ### 2/5 — Game cuts off *2023-01-29* I will have plenty of time left to complete the level and it cuts off with objectives not completed. Of course they arent when you still have plenty of time on the clock. I like the game but it shouldnt be cutting off as if you havent met the goals when u still have time to complete it ### 3/5 — It’s fun until the new update *2023-01-28* The new update won’t let you even play. It requires you to click on the timed event, then the game freezes. You can’t do anything. It really is a shame. ### 3/5 — Problems *2023-01-22, version 20.5* This is a great game but it’s too difficult to get enough money to upgrade your equipment without buying diamonds. I’m also not receiving some rewards. If you fixed these things and made it possible to progress without spending money then I would definitely give it 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Glitch *2023-01-20* There’s a glitch in a part of The game and I can’t continue… please solve that! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT PLAY - TERRIBLE, GLITCHY, MONEY HUNGRY *2024-06-14* worst time management game i’ve ever played. it’s not currently being supported, there are very few active players in the “clans” they want you to join. i’ve had levels stop and fail me for no reason while my customers are waiting to check out and there’s plenty of time left on the clock. some of the level designs (especially the dojo) are intentionally crafted so that you will unintentionally touch the wrong area of the screen and pick up the wrong item. there are several levels that are unbeatable without power ups and of course, they are in short supply unless you are willing to pay. unless you invest a significant amount of money into the game, you will spend more time watching ads than playing the game. this isn’t fun and it’s a blatant and cheap ripoff of better designed and more established time management games. shame on you devs for releasing this piece of garbage!! ### 1/5 — Boring *2024-05-26, version 30.1* This is the exact same play as the last game I just deleted. They call you boss, there’s too much going on, the code is a mess. Whoever you all are using to code your games should stop getting hired. I can’t even make it through the tutorial I’m just already done. ### 1/5 — Not working properly after last update *2023-06-25, version 27.0* The game is not working properly, the oven has disappeared in the Farm Hero level so it’s impossible to pass and also when you use a power up it uses it but the power up doesn’t work, it is impossible to play unless these fixes are made ### 1/5 — Glitchy money pit *2023-06-02* I like the graphics in the games, but they are just not worth the money. Here are some item prices for the game: 29% off sale for 5 power ups for $30, the glitches then will eat up your power ups and if you want to invest your time after that into dealing with customer support, good luck with that. 29% off sale for another for 1,500 diamonds and 2 power ups won’t get you through a location. Especially if it’s the first one in the row of 4. Every upgrade requires diamonds. If you want to spend years watching commercials, you can try playing it for free. And yes, doesn’t matter how much money you spend there, you will still have to watch commercials. Unless you want to spend 10 times more. ### 1/5 — The server is not moving! *2023-05-20* Help! One of the working people is not moving after getting an item! I cant play this game! Please fix it asap!!!! ### 1/5 — Nope *2023-05-03* Fun game but you watch the ads to get boosters and coins and it doesn’t give them to you. Tried to contact game developer, to no avail. Also, when you watch an ad and go back to the game the sound goes away. You have to go out the game and come back in. Fun game but very frustrating. DO NOT SPEND MONEY IN THIS GAME!!! IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU ALL YOUR DIAMONDS!!! DEVELOPERS WILL NOT FIX!!!!! ### 1/5 — Game made to empty your wallet *2023-02-28* Although it is a decent game, and the gameplay is pretty good, by the time you reach the third gym, you will need to take out a loan in order to pass the levels. You CANNOT pass levels in the third gym without using boosters before the start of the game or boosters within the game (a lot of times, you have to use both quite a bit). I am an expert time management game player, and this game is one of the few that I have played that is basically coded so you CANNOT finish levels without using boosters and the boosters are not cheap! Btw: there is another gym game out there that is just as good and is not as costly. The game is not worth it. 100 gems just for one booster? Plus you need gems to make purchases at the shop. The developers need to get REAL, not GREEDY! Uninstalling ASAP! ### 1/5 — World Gym *2023-02-12* Super fun at first then becomes harder bc they want you to pay for it. Super disappointed. I’m deleting right now. Please don’t waste your time or energy on this game… you will be frustrated and disappointed. Too bad bc it had potential. ### 1/5 — Incredibly offensive ad *2023-01-13, version 20.4* If I could leave a poop icon instead of one star, I would. The only reason I downloaded this game is to criticize a blatantly sexual ad that appears to endorse rape culture. A male rides an elevator and shoots semen at unsuspecting men and women. Apparently Apple can’t do anything about it and it is next to impossible to contact the app developer, so here I am hoping for a little internet outrage to shut this thing down. This must have been made in a 12 year old’s basement because it is so grossly inappropriate. The game advertises for ages 4+ so I’m assuming you’re totally ok with teaching 4 year olds that nonconsensual sexual behavior is funny and appropriate. Someone at this developer needs to find out what their ad agency is doing and get this removed. It’s not funny. It’s incredibly offensive. ### 1/5 — Semen *2023-01-03, version 20.4* I did not get to shoot semen into random women without their consent which is why I wanted to download this game so I could do that and I didn’t appreciate the fact that I couldn’t not be a very buff sweaty man impregnating women. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-09-22* Really enjoying the game. Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Auto Mode update *2023-05-06, version 24.2* I like the fact that you can purchase the auto mode but come on’ the price you pay for it is ridiculous! It’s definitely a rip off, 3,000 diamonds for $15.00. That’s way to high, I will never spend that much for auto mode. It would help if the gold coins were transferable into diamonds since they are useless once you’ve completely the gyms in that series. ### 5/5 — A really good game *2023-02-13* This is a really good game i was rusty at first but I’m really good now and it’s a very fun game ### 5/5 — Fun and easy to play *2023-01-26* The graphics are really cute and the gameplay is pretty easy. I can’t wait to unlock more gyms as I progress further into the game ### 5/5 — Can you please add this ❤️❤️❤️ *2023-01-22, version 20.5* Is it possible to add some little money reward system when you finish a day in the gym when all the stations are cleaned. So that players would also try to clean EVERYTHING in the gym in the end. ### 5/5 — So good *2023-01-20, version 20.5* You get to squirt gallons of semen into hot woman and then eat the child the next day. You get to grab the woman without their consent and brutally rape them. This game is very good for a 3 year old. I definitely recommend letting your kid play this game, they will have such a good time, they will learn how they were made!!!’n 🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆 ### 5/5 — Megusta por qué es divertido y no ocupa internet *2022-12-31, version 20.4* Lo adoro ### 4/5 — Awesome game, but needs a fix *2023-02-16* I love this game. Completely addicted. However, since the update where Leo the cat is missing for the second time, it keeps freezing and won’t let me play.😔 I’m hoping you can fix this issue asap so I can get back to playing! Thank you! ### 4/5 — But so good *2023-02-08* This game is so nice and easy at first but it gets so some hard but it’s still good!👍🏽 ### 4/5 — Same Ole, Same Ole. *2022-12-26* I REALLY like this game but it’s just like all the others of this style. It falls around level 20 or so. Due to the fact that the game continuously, progressively gets hard but doesn’t give You tools/upgrades nor the coins to keep up. Other than that, it’s a Blast. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
