It’s one of those games that catches you off guard in the best way.

This game allows you to truly live through a life you build for yourself while also being about to make your own decisions and paths that truly affect your life. Just like someone’s normal life, you must make decisions that will affect you positively. Making friends, spending time with your family, having a reliable career are all very important things that can affect your Livin character. This game is great for people who like situational games! **Developer response:** Thanks again! Did you invite any friends to compete with? ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-07-23* I’ve had a great time playing Livin: America because it feels like much more than a typical life simulation game. Every decision matters, from choosing a college and career to managing money, relationships, and everyday responsibilities, making each playthrough unique and engaging. I especially enjoy how the game blends entertainment with real-life concepts like budgeting, credit, loans, and long-term planning without feeling like a lesson. The variety of choices keeps me coming back to see how different paths play out, and it’s satisfying to watch your character grow based on the decisions you make. If you’re looking for a game that’s fun, thoughtful, and makes your choices truly matter, I’d definitely recommend giving **Developer response:** You said it all. Thanks ### 5/5 — Living a whole new life *2026-07-23* What I enjoy most about LIVIN: America is getting to live an entirely different life and control the parts of it that I have no say over in reality, from who I date to where I end up. Everything also moves much faster than real life, so you see the results of your choices right away, which makes it hard to put down. **Developer response:** I'm glad you got the ability to test out your decisions in condensed time...that's how we learn. thanks again for your support. ### 5/5 — Keep going *2026-07-22* LIVIN: America offers a unique and engaging experience by blending life simulation and interactive storytelling, allowing players to make decisions that will shape their journey. This game encourages creativity in a fun way, whether that be building relationships, exploring new opportunities, or creating the life you envision. The characters you choose to spend time with feel different from their personalities, giving you that experience like in real life. The gameplay feels approachable and different, with each decision giving you more possibilities, giving you that feeling of wanting to come back. If you enjoy games where your decisions help tell your own story, LIVIN: America is worth checking out. **Developer response:** Thanks for your support and tell your friends! ### 5/5 — Better than Bitlife! *2026-06-18, version 1.34* I have never played a more realistic life simulation before. Livin has everything, you can have intimate relationships, choose from 100’s of jobs (and deal with stuff), purchase real estate, private jets or dog food. You can earn college degrees by taking real classes and paying tuition…I did say it was Realistic! I’m taking a trip to Paris now so see you later. ### 5/5 — Play the stock market‼️ *2026-06-10* I’m playing the game for a few months but now that you’ve added the stock market, I’ve been able to make millions more for my character. Thanks for the update. It’s a lot of fun. **Developer response:** We only have one Billionaire so far...keep investing! We are about to add Space X to the companies you can invest in... ### 5/5 — Can you add having kids *2026-06-02, version 1.33* Great games just wanna be able to have kids ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-05-27* I initially experienced an issue with not receiving content I had paid for, but the LIVIN team responded promptly and resolved the matter quickly and professionally. Their customer support was efficient and attentive, which left a very positive impression. The game shows a great deal of potential, and I’m genuinely excited to see how it continues to develop and improve over time. **Developer response:** Thanks again for the notice. According to your last email we fixed the problem to your satisfaction. If you have any other issues, continue contacting us at admin@globalorigin.co and if you feel we were respondsive and did a good job, we hope you would consider revising your review and rating to reflact it. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Music *2026-04-22, version 1.28* I need to be able to play music in the game. The game doesn’t have any music but as annoying sounds on you click. ### 4/5 — Improvements tips *2026-04-09* The game is good but here’s what could improve: have a option in the settings part of the game so we can turn off the music, when our family gives us money through the family aid the balance should automatically go to our credit card or wallet, sometimes when I choose a good action the bar go down rather than up and the characters need improvement **Developer response:** Improvements make. Thanks for your feedback. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-04-03, version 1.26* Great game, devs are heavily involved and quick with communication as well. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2026-03-29* This game is honestly really fun. My favorite part is how much control you have over your own story. It feels like every choice actually matters and can lead to totally different outcomes. There are so many options, which makes it really engaging and replayable. It’s cool being able to build your own life and see how things play out based on your decisions. Definitely recommend if you like interactive or life simulation games! **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! We have a small team that works very hard to develop simulation that is both fun and realistic. Enjoy! ### 2/5 — Payment system needs updating *2026-03-20* The game is very enjoyable; however, the payment system appears to need some updating. After subscribing to receive keys, I did not receive them, despite trying twice—once for $0.99 (small gold bag) and once for $4.49 (medium gold bag), totaling $5.93. While this is a small contribution and I understand minor issues can occur in small-scale development, I noticed a recurring pattern. I won’t be contacting support at this time, but I will refrain from making further purchases until the issue is resolved and verified. **Developer response:** First off, I appreciate the understanding that our team is small and we are trying our best. We are SORRY for the problems. Unfortunately, we need some more information so we can see if your transaction was processed by Apple or ViSA, get you a refund if it was and give you a bonus of 5X GOLD if you still want to play! Just email us your character Name and an email we can get back to you...to admin@globalorigin.co and we can make you whole and then some! We hope you improve our rating once you are satisfied. Thanks again for your understanding> ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-05-24, version 1.32* Have completed 3 separate 4 year degrees an do not get it accounted for, lack the experience for any job to even do so. Frustrating with all the adds and doing all task to not be rewarded. ### 1/5 — A Scam! *2026-03-19, version 1.24* i paid $7.99 for the 1000 coins and they took my money and won’t even let me pay for anything else. Don’t waste your time, nor your money. ### 1/5 — I hate this game *2026-03-18, version 1.24* This game scammed me I bought gold and it took my money but I never got my gold ### 1/5 — Stole my money *2026-03-17, version 1.24* I paid 8$ for a 1000 coin bag and never got my coins. I also paid 2.99 for no ads and now the ads won’t play for the energy recharge and the energy won’t ever recharge. I would use my coins if I had them… ### 1/5 — Paid for no ads and still seeing ads *2026-02-07, version 1.17* Paid for no ads and still seeing ads ### 1/5 — glitches *2026-01-29, version 1.15* too many glitches to be collecting money through micro transactions.it freezes on marriages.it freezes on college portion and often makes you lose all classes. too many issues srill but great concept. ### 1/5 — High Potential, Greedy Dev *2026-01-14, version 1.12* The game is fun with high potential. Having to watch ads to fix my depleted energy after paying $3 for a month of “ad-free” gaming is absurd. I already paid, yet I’m facing an ad every few minutes. What gives? ### 1/5 — Bugged *2026-01-09, version 1.11* Assets disappear and you get way too many ads ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2025-12-20* I downloaded this game thinking it would be a better version of BitLife. It was not. I paid $3 a month to remove ads and start a different life, but the only way to do that is to log out and select your account. When I did, I lost my purchase and the ads came back. Annoying, but manageable—until I actually started playing. The game is extremely glitchy. I would earn $1,000,000 at a job, exit the game, and come back to find my account balance at around $100,000. This happened multiple times. There are very limited job options, and each job can randomly fire you. Once you’re fired, you can never get that type of job again anywhere, even if you move to a different city. On top of that, there’s no way to regain energy unless you pay or watch ads, and even if you pay, it’s only temporary. Overall, this game feels like nothing more than a cash grab. **Developer response:** WOW!!! — I’m genuinely sorry you had this experience. You’re absolutely right: even with extensive testing, bugs & design issues can still slip through, and that’s on us. I appreciate you taking the time to write this review, even though it came from frustration. Your feedback helps us identify and fix real problems that affect real players. If you’re open to it, we’d truly like the opportunity to make this right. You can reach our customer support team at admin@globalorigin.co, or contact me directly at wayne@globalorigin.co so we can address your concerns as quickly as possible. Again, I apologize for the frustration this caused, and thank you for giving us the chance to improve. ### 2/5 — Energy system is horrible *2026-05-19* One of the only complaints I have about this game is the energy sysytem. It’s a paywall. Either you watch ads to regain a tiny bit of energy or you spend gold to get keys to refill it, which is rewarded very sparingly. Great way to get people to not play the game more than 1 day. It is a great game and is very detailed. Other than the energy and a couple other things that need reworking it’s definitely a better game than most life sims out now. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback and for giving the game a real chance. We’re glad you’re enjoying the depth and realism of the experience — especially compared to other life sims. We also completely understand your concerns about the energy system. Balancing progression, pacing, and keeping the game sustainable for a small indie team is something we’re still actively working on, and feedback like this genuinely helps us improve. We definitely don’t want players to feel pushed away after one session, so we’re currently reviewing ways to make energy feel less restrictive while still rewarding active play. Your comments about ad rewards and refill pacing are noted. Really appreciate the honest review and the support. We’ve got a lot more updates planned, and we hope you’ll continue growing with the game as we improve it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much fun!! *2026-08-09* I did not expect to get pulled in as much as I did. Livin: America is a text-based life sim, but the choices genuinely matter in a way a lot of these games fake. You go to real colleges, manage a real budget, and watch decisions compound over time, so paying your bills or blowing your money actually comes back around. What I liked most is that it never felt overwhelming. There's a ton going on with school, money, work, and relationships, but the menus keep it all a tap away, so you can juggle a few things at once without getting lost. It's the rare mobile game that feels like it's teaching you something without being boring about it. If you like life sims or games where your decisions have real weight, it's worth downloading. ### 5/5 — Limitless Options *2026-08-08* I’ve really enjoyed playing Livin America! The game has a fun, engaging feel that makes it easy to pick up while still giving you plenty to come back for. I’ve put in a couple of hours already and feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of what this game has to offer. It’s clear that a lot of care went into creating an experience that is entertaining, accessible, and rewarding for players. Whether you’re playing for a few minutes or settling in for a longer session, there’s always something enjoyable to do. I’d definitely recommend downloading Livin America and giving it a try! ### 5/5 — Fun game that captures the American dream perfectly *2026-08-04* If you are into simulator games like BitLife, this game is perfect for you. It has so many different options and it genuinely captures the vibe of the American dream perfectly. You get to choose what famous city you want to live in, try to get into your dream university, your dream career path, find a love interest, start a family, and so much more. It has several different features that you get to choose from and it keeps you captivated through all of its different options to do in the game. It also provides lots of representation with their options in providing a vast variety of things to choose from, as well as allowing you to express yourself uniquely in the game. I definitely recommend this game if you enjoy simulator games and want to start your dream life in America! **Developer response:** Thanks for your support and enjoy our updates! ### 5/5 — A simple game with interesting potential. *2026-07-31* As a fun simple concept inspired by similar BitLife games, this game has the potential to be something for classic “slice of life” style people who enjoy dabbling in the potential “what if’s”. There are many choices with many possibilities of a simulated future, and most importantly, those who enjoy the simple life based games would enjoy the feeling of almost limitless possibilities of the many paths that are free to explore at all times… **Developer response:** Now let's get everyone to Start LIVIN... Where are all your friends. Thanks for believing in us! ### 5/5 — Worth the download *2026-07-31* I've been playing LIVIN: America for a bit now and really like how much depth is packed into it. It's not just another life-sim, there's real thought behind the career paths, from choosing a college track to landing your first job, and the way relationships and finances tie into your choices keeps things feeling grounded rather than random. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and I like that decisions actually seem to carry weight later in the game. If you're into life simulation or career-exploration style games, this one's worth checking out. **Developer response:** Definitely a great way to explore different career paths. Thanks for your support! ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2026-07-29* I've had a great experience playing Livin: AMERICA so far. The game does a great job of making everyday life decisions feel engaging while also teaching practical concepts about careers, education, finances, and planning for the future. I especially enjoy how many different paths you can take and how your choices have meaningful consequences, which makes each playthrough feel unique. The gameplay is easy to pick up, but there's enough depth to keep it interesting as you explore different opportunities and strategies. If you're looking for a game that's both entertaining and educational, I'd definitely recommend giving Livin: AMERICA a try. It's a fun way to learn real-world life skills while enjoying a well-designed simulation. Whether you're trying to explore different career paths or just want a game where your decisions matter, this is absolutely worth downloading. Highly recommended! **Developer response:** Thank you. We appreciate your support! ### 5/5 — A surprisingly deep life sim that keeps you hooked *2026-07-29* Livin: America does something a lot of mobile games promise but rarely deliver , it actually makes you care about the choices you're making. Guiding a character from 18 all the way through their 90s, every decision feels like it has weight, and the branching text-based format keeps things engaging without ever feeling like a chore to read through. My favorite feature by far is the education system. Instead of just clicking "attend class" and watching a stat go up, trade school and university courses use a Jeopardy-style trivia format that actually makes you think. It's a clever way to gamify learning and turns what could've been a boring menu screen into one of the most entertaining parts of the game. Overall, it strikes a great balance between depth and accessibility easy to pick up, but with enough variety in choices and outcomes that no two playthroughs feel the same. Highly recommend for anyone who likes life sims with substance. **Developer response:** We love the Education system too. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Needs work but still pretty great *2026-07-28* I’ve been playing a few hours of the game and I think it’s pretty good, aside from a few bugs. It does have this annoying thing where it does not save your education progress, and at one point I graduated with a masters but opened the game up later and I was back to sophomore in university. Other than that, though, it’s been a fun little life simulator. I especially like how unpredictable the results are from choices. I once had a choice to call my manager about something and instead of helping, I got scolded for wasting my manager’s time, which is pretty accurate in a lot of places. **Developer response:** We are working on fixing everything. Thanks for your support! ### 5/5 — Gameplay so far *2026-07-28* What makes Livin fun is its ambitious approach to life simulation, offering a rich, multifaceted sandbox where educational and career choice feels meaningful. Navigating through everything from trade school certifications to graduate degrees creates a deeply satisfying sense of personal growth and progression that keeps you hooked on seeing where your decisions lead. While the game still requires some polish, particularly around streamlining the UI, pacing the animations, and rebalancing certain mechanics the core foundation is great and full of potential. **Developer response:** Looking forward to you helping us take it to the next level. Let's go! ### 5/5 — Livin the life! *2026-07-28* Livin: America is an awesome game! It feels like I’m living a second life with everything that real life has to offer. One of my favorite parts about the game is the education experience you can do. Being able to create a class schedule and answers questions based on the topics gives the sense you’re actually learning something new. I love a good trivia game, so this just makes it even more fun. I’m also a big fan of the many job options there are, and the little scenarios that come with it . Being able to live the dream as an actor? Count me in! This game is only growing, and I hope that more people take the time out of their day to give it a try! **Developer response:** We love trivia too. We are glad you enjoyed the careers too and want to thank you for your support! My question to you is how many friends did you invite to compete with you in the game? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
