Also don’t like that I can’t start over when I’d like to or the limited options for the character. Hopefully they’ll sort out the bugs and update a few things as it does have potential ### 3/5 — Lifetimes are too long *2024-08-26, version 1.8.5* I like the way this game works but I wish the time would go faster. I have probably 3 or 4 hours on my save and 7 years have gone by. I wish it would go faster. Other than that good game ### 4/5 — Missing information *2024-06-26, version 1.8.4* Excellent game, but there’s some information missing. For example, when you do a talent job, I wish it would tell you how much of what skill it was increasing. Such as five charisma, five character, etc. It would also be nice to get a progress bar of how long it’s been since you started the job just like in education. for example, progress 20 out of 25 days. Just a suggestion. ### 5/5 — Best app *2024-06-01, version 1.8.3* Most apps need money ### 4/5 — BRUH *2024-05-13, version 1.8.1* I NAMED MY DOG BEAUTY, NOT ARLO! ### 4/5 — Make the game better *2024-04-19, version 1.8.1* Y’all should add street gangs and be able to pick the country and city or part of a city you live in just give it more realistic options for different lifestyles ### 5/5 — More things maybe? *2024-04-05, version 1.8.0* I love this game cuz it’s very futuristic, although I would like some more careers y’know? Maybe some degrees could also help get some other jobs like with a physiology bsc you could be like a therapist/counselor and you should add some more engineering jobs. ### 5/5 — Life Simulation *2024-04-01, version 1.8.0* This Game is The BOMB🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ### 4/5 — Good. *2024-03-06, version 1.8.0* It is ok. The game gets quite confusing when you first begin. Now I have played it a little the game is more enjoyable and less complicated. I like that it has real life incidents and topics. I also enjoy the amount of topics the game includes. However, one of the only things bad about the game though, is the fact that the pictures aren’t very detailed and there aren’t many at all. So apart from the confusing start to the game, basic drawings and only a couple of pictures, the game isn’t bad. In fact it is quite good!!! 👍😊🥳 ### 5/5 — Better than BitLife *2024-02-28* i don’t know why i choose to play bitlife more maybe it’s the way it feels when you tap or the color scheme but they need to also take tips from this game, everytime i play this it’s usually more immersive experience for a roleplay/ sim game and they have so much more of a variety of in general things to interact with.. seems like there’s more jobs and more interactive with said job, you actually manage social media more and i really dunno but this just feels like a better game for experience and immersive feel but it needs to feel like bitlife does a bit more ( in my opinion obviously ) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I want to like it except that it’s not enjoyable. *2026-07-16* Besides the micro fees being a bit laughable, peacock posturing and all, I thought I could ignore it while I explore whether this app is worth playing long term. It’s not. I gave this app two attempts; the first time I wasn’t impressed by the simplicity of the character customization, but I think it works for the user interface. I didn’t seek this out because I was getting something out of its aesthetic. I forgot about it and picked it back up. Then the second experience reminded me why I put this down in the first place- it’s not visually appealing, the micro fees are a cash grab in the dark, and you can’t go more than five exploratory taps before an unprompted AD takes over your screen. I can’t even play your game- without paying, and I wouldn’t even want to beyond this experience. You don’t have to waste your time here, dear user; you can move on. ### 1/5 — Many ads *2026-04-03, version 1.9.0* Way too many ads had to delete the game every 30 seconds ### 1/5 — Bruh *2025-09-13, version 1.8.6* They should allow a chance of possibility of open relationships, your p5rtner just insult you every time, for every single person you meet. The game also says, “did you even have fun?” Like it’s some kind of insult lol. Lost two morals points because I didn't want to lend an unreliable friend money. The game also insults you by saying it's your fault if you keep studying after high school, even if it's sarcasm the joke is basically nonexistent; the worst kind of sarcasm. ### 1/5 — was good until it got sloppy *2025-09-07, version 1.8.6* i used to like this game but it’s pretty mid now, altlife and bitlife are far better games than this garbage, the criminal update literally only added carrying a ice cream cone in your pocket… sloppy development turned into a cash grab is the best way to describe this game ### 1/5 — Male, Female, Undecided *2025-06-21, version 1.8.5* Look if you're gonna give us a third option just dont be a coward and say non-binary. Im allowed to be an alien or a monster, it should be ok for me to be decidedly non-binary. If you left it as the binary I probably woulda been less insulted lol but you took the time to make a weird invalidating third option and that turned me off so much. ### 1/5 — no *2024-02-25, version 1.7.7* good game but way too many adds and always the same ad man and to remove ads should be 2.99 ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-02-16, version 1.7.7* This game sucks… to many adds and it distracts you from the game BIG TIME. Fix this please. ### 1/5 — There just isn’t a lot to do so it’s boring *2023-08-30, version 1.7.4* It has the potential to be a fun game but unfortunately there’s nothing to do and it’s really boring ### 1/5 — Boring *2023-07-01, version 1.7.4* Go play bitlife ### 1/5 — Worst game *2022-09-17, version 1.7.1* So I don’t like this game it is horrible ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I enjoyed it *2026-02-10, version 1.9.0* I have had it for quite a while and saw it updated so I gave it a try again.It is so good but I think the characters design need some work it’s too plain I also think we should be able to view other characters stats 7/10 for now ### 5/5 — Suggestions *2026-01-19* This is some suggestions that you should consider for the next update 1.actual cities that we can travel to and do activities in for example we click the travel tab and every city/country pops up and we choose which city we want to go to and it gives us a option to pick 4 activities that we want to do in that city also we should get the option to bring our partner and kids onto the trip also including out parents 2.banking,you guys should add a bank tab so that we can not only get loans but deposit and withdraw money from our accounts 3.talents, you guys need to make it to we’re when we complete everything dealing with thr talent we choose for example if I choose actor and I did every job then we should be able to actually get roles for movies same goes for music and streaming 4.allow us to send money to our kids or family members 5.add actual functional apps to the phone tab it’s so boring paying $500 for the phone and you can’t really do anything with it 6.make it to were we can hire agents and Nannie’s 7.add a car dealership tab 8.avatar. Customization ### 5/5 — Great Game but needs some Improvements *2026-01-10* Just a few things I would enjoy in the game are when your character has triplets 2 of them always say they same name and It’s been happening for awhile so I hope that the devs can somehow change that and I’d love being able to have children before marriage because It truly does happen so I feel like it makes sense being in a life sim plus it adds so much more “storytelling” in the game if that makes sense. Anyways if you are thinking of downloading this game i 100% recommended if you are into life simulators that go at a more slow pace where you are able to do more with your life 😁 ### 5/5 — My ads don’t work bro help meeeeeeee *2025-08-04, version 1.8.6* I need ads rn I whent bankrupt ### 5/5 — Great game few ideas! *2025-06-04* First of all Hello everyone! I have Been playing this game for a couple days and have lots of ideas! For example: Can you please add siblings in the “Family” section! It would be so fun to interact with siblings like playing with each other or fighting over the littlest things ever lol. I also have ideas like Ad TikTok and instagram Above the Social media section it would be fun to ad that and experience it! 1. I would love if you could ad Other job ideas and Different colleges Example: Nursing school, Law school ect….Please add that I will be forever grateful!😁 2. Can you also ad Cousins, Nephews, and Nieces. It would add more detail and be a lot more realistic and plus it would add more options to interacting with other family members besides from parents. 3. I would also love if you could add more things to with friends like making them your bestie friends or enemies. 4. Please add a thing to interact like when you’re pregnant pls add something like “You had your first kick” or something like that! And that’s mostly all I love the game after all just a couple improvements would make the game great and less boring half the time! Anyways that all byeeee! Thx for reading ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-04-02, version 1.8.5* This game is so addictive ! Me and my sister are several years apart in this game makes like our bond more stronger. It’s such an addictive game that we play together and we can play together for the past five hours.. such a good game please download it if you haven’t and it is literally so fun when you get to the children’s stage 🤍. ### 5/5 — Idea *2025-03-07, version 1.8.5* The game is great , but I will love you guys put Banks that give interest. The rest is perfect . Love it ### 5/5 — Amazing Game!!!! *2024-07-30, version 1.8.5* I love the game!You can have twins and lots of babies!You can have a big house and get a job as well as a husband!I played bitlife and you can get plastic surgery I think you should add it.It will make the game more popular!Also a beauty chart maybe? ### 5/5 — Game to play *2024-07-11, version 1.8.4* This a tie task’s tough no not really very much straight forward an addictive ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-06-09* This game is fantastic and ticks a lot of boxes other miss. However the business side of them game can be huge with the right updates. I spend 90% of my time dealing with them rather than doing other things. Setting up a way to have resource flow paths would be a huge time saver and a way to make the businesses a little more passive income. Also expanding on the housing market would be another amazing upgrade. Make duplex quadplex etc. More businesses would also take this game to a whole new level like restaurants that require farms to grow food. This is an amazing game I would recommend to anyone that has an itch for a good life sim game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
