Nothing like the ads!!! ### 1/5 — False advertising *2024-08-08, version 3.0* The game is completely different as to what was shown in advertisements on social media. Disappointing. ### 2/5 — Awful *2024-07-10* This game is the worst STUPIDEST game ever **Developer response:** I'm very sorry that I couldn't satisfy you. You can describe in detail what aspect you are dissatisfied with, and we will work hard to optimize it. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2024-06-29, version 1.0* For months, the original app was glitchy as they rolled out new features. Then all of a sudden they release this new version and try and force us over there. What about all the progress I’d made in the game? I’m supposed to just start over? What about all the money I spent making that progress? Just gone. I feel like they wanted to release a new app so they used the old players as beta testers for a more robust app, all while still bombarding us with popups to spend more money. And now we’re supposed to start over and lose everything. Had they come up with a way to port over at least some of our progress, like the clothes, or had they said hey go to the new app but you get a credit for your purchases, I would. Instead, I’d rather stop playing altogether, which is a shame since I’ve played it every single day for months and months. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Banned me out of nowhere?! *2025-03-03, version 1.6.8* I have been playing this game for months and loved it and all of a sudden when I try to log in it tells me I violated a rule and have been banned?? So confused! Not sure how it is even possible to violate a rule in this game? ### 1/5 — Got banned for trying to play *2025-03-02, version 1.6.8* After months of playing, I opened the game to be immediately banned. ### 1/5 — Issues all over *2025-02-07, version 1.6.7* There are bugs all over and in the mini games. Beware of purchasing anything in app as it's impossible to contact support and you will get scammed. I contacted support through the link that THEY PROVIDED and I was told "you contacted the wrong place" and that was it. ### 1/5 — Issues all over *2025-01-05* There are bugs all over and in the mini games. Beware of purchasing anything in app as it's impossible to contact support and you will get scammed. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2024-12-17, version 1.6.3* I loved this game so much and it suddenly stopped working and says poor connection (which is not true) and then shuts down. What is going on?? ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-12-14, version 1.6.3* I have been using this game for a while, but it suddenly stopped working a few days ago and still isn’t…Will it be getting fixed soon? ### 1/5 — Scammed *2024-12-12* I bought a booster pack for 20$ for the seasonal game and it was charged to my account. I never received the credits for it in the game. I wonder how often this happens when things are purchased. ### 1/5 — Tokens *2024-11-16, version 1.6.3* Purchased tokens and there’s no option to use them anywhere ### 1/5 — They lie about what you get with a purchase - BEWARE *2024-09-12, version 5.0* Just started playing and purchased a boost for endless energy for 7 days. Figured it would be a great way to get ahead and learn. But no, what I got was endless energy for 2 minutes. This was not explained clearly & VERY VERY FRUSTRATING. Contacted them and they basically told me too bad, I should read more closely next time. What a bunch of scam artists. I will be deleting this game. 😡 ### 1/5 — Not the same game you see on ads *2024-09-02, version 5.0* I installed this game because the ad showed one of those games that you have to sort food. When I installed it, it was just another version of candy crush. So disappointing!! Not at all the same game on the ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Confused *2024-10-05, version 1.6.0* Kind of confusing ### 5/5 — Great game! *2024-09-18, version 5.0* Love this game! ### 5/5 — Cool game *2024-09-15, version 5.0* Great pass time! ### 5/5 — Calming game *2024-09-14, version 5.0* I can get lost playing this game ### 5/5 — Fun game *2024-08-24, version 4.0* Fun game, nice images ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2024-08-21, version 4.0* I love this game so much! Very addicting ### 5/5 — Im so confused *2024-07-27, version 1.0* I downloaded this one but it doesnt looks like what the pictures show on the apple store. It shows exactly like the other Master Chef (more like Asian version) but different app. Is it because I played the other app first then it always automatically open like that? I’m very interested to play with the new designs not the old one. What should I do ? I tried to delete both app and redownloaded this one, but still when I clicked on it, the first picture shows is the new one but then it changed to the old one. I like the games though. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2024-07-24, version 1.0* It’s a fun and relaxing game ### 4/5 — Fun *2024-07-13, version 1.0* It’s fun, but of course you will end up spending money ### 3/5 — Dotted Line around mouth *2025-07-29, version 1.7.1* I love the aesthetic of this game but one thing that really irks me is when Julie makes her pouting face in the story scenes, you can see a dotted line around her mouth outlining the polygon they used for her mouth. If I have to see that every so often when I progress through the game I’m probably not sticking around. Good game overall and would love to change my review if it gets fixed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
