Like a 12 year old who's parents have been killed or something. I'm a kid and this has really opened my eyes. I want to know how kids feel about them being a refugee. I really like it a lot. ### 4/5 — Awesome game! *2014-07-09, version 1.1* I really like this game! It gives you a feel of how it is to be a refugee, sad but eye opening. I'm giving this 4 stars because there's only 3 characters to choose from. Love this game though. ### 4/5 — Great concept *2014-05-11, version 1.1* As someone else said, love the idea, but has a few issues and some expansion would be nice. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2013-11-18, version 1.1* This app is the most inspiring thing I've ever seen ### 5/5 — Thanks :) *2013-10-14, version 1.1* Thank you so much to the creator of this app,that I can experience in such a minute way what being a refugee involves...it's so heart breaking to realize how great of a life we have in developed countries and how much I take for granted. I hope in the future I can be as honored as you to work with the United Nations aid organization or equivalent so that I can help in this amazing outreach to innocent people in such unfortunate circumstances. Thanks so much again for your amazing support and benefits to people like me to experience this app :) ### 5/5 — More! *2013-10-13, version 1.1* Make more apps like this! This is just what I have been looking for! I can see it now: kidnapped, slavery, child labor. This has true potential!😄 ### 4/5 — Very Informative *2013-08-22, version 1.1* This game has really opened my eyes to the wider world. There could be a bit more choice involved, but overall, this game sends a very good message that more people need to hear. ### 5/5 — Good *2013-08-17, version 1.1* The game is very lifelike because these decisions r sometimes being made great game ### 4/5 — Four Stars for My Life as a Refugee *2013-08-15, version 1.1* I am giving this app four stars because, while it is an overall great app, there are some improvements to be made. Things I have noticed need worked on or suggestions I have for you: •the loading time for the information on the Internet is so long that I have not been able to use any online features •story progression needs to be improved; for example, I chose to escape by plane on Amika's story, but a few slides later I was on a boat--if it is not an option at this time to add the plane part in, either remove the option to escape by plane or give the player a reason as to why Amika can no longer go by plane (this is not the only instance I noticed my choices being ignored) •perhaps add in more chances to make decisions--I found myself getting bored after going through several slides in a row where I couldn't make any choices •over time, add in a few more characters •perhaps include the character's home location •I personally found the page displayed after finishing the game to be overwhelming; an updated, more organized design would be appreciated •fix minor grammatical errors and technical issues As I stated at the beginning of my review, this app is great as it is. I especially love the unique artwork. However, for the app to reach a larger audience, some improvements need to be made. Please keep working on My Life as a Refugee, as it's unique and meaningful. I will, for the time being, be keeping this app. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2013-07-31, version 1.1* Really provides some perspective- an interesting and interactive experience for those who are familiar with world conflicts and the plight of the refugee / eye opening and insightful for those who are unfamiliar. ### 5/5 — Great *2013-06-29, version 1.1* Great game that really makes you think! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please update it to work with iOS 11 or later! *2018-11-30, version 1.1* The only reason I rater it one star is because I can no longer use the app because it needs to be updated! Please update it. It was an amazing app and really helped in spreading awareness about the refugee crisis. ### 1/5 — Propaganda *2017-08-05, version 1.1* This app is hilarious, it's just leftist propaganda , the fact that anyone gets their feelings changed by this is shocking. ### 1/5 — Doesn't meet up to Expectations *2014-04-16, version 1.1* It sounds very interesting and the title is very grabbing but I deleted it right away. ### 1/5 — Sounded cool, but doesn't deliver *2012-12-13, version 1.1* This game sounded awesome when I read the description. Well, I played it, in all it's predetermined permutations and I really just expected more. This game is too easy, you win every time. Pass. ### 2/5 — Okay *2014-05-14, version 1.1* I like this app but I really wish there would be more characters to choose from and also the stories would be much longer with more details and more questions to get asked I love stories where I can decide what to do and where to go but this app is ok :) ### 3/5 — Update it! *2015-12-21, version 1.1* Please please update this app and improve it. This app is especially relevant right now and if it is updated and improved many people will download it and help refugees. ### 3/5 — MAJER issues *2015-03-16, version 1.1* This game has MAJER ISSUES 1. Most of the time my choices are egnored 2. There are not enough characters to chose from 3. WHAT IN THE UNIVERSE IS THIS GAMES PURPOSE!!!? ### 3/5 — Overall excellent concept *2014-04-28, version 1.1* Many improvements could be made, as mentioned in other reviews. I hope this genre takes off and we see more empathy-based games. ### 3/5 — Alright *2013-10-17, version 1.1* I wish I do a little bit more and there could be some changes ### 4/5 — Good *2015-05-10, version 1.1* I think this is a very good game because it teaches you: "That my life is soooo hard." Well guess what? It's not that hard compared to refugee's life. ;) <3 :) oh plus more characters please! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ayhan_Bağlan *2016-01-06, version 1.1* It's really well-prepared and focusing on refuge crisis on planet. ### 5/5 — Great educational experience *2015-09-09, version 1.1* Great educational experience, especially for kids ### 5/5 — Can't explain *2015-06-22, version 1.1* This story book or whatever this is is soooo cool Love it! ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2015-06-16, version 1.1* Impressive app. It's really thoughtful ### 5/5 — Very Informative!!! *2015-04-19, version 1.1* This is a Great App. It brings the refugee experience to life.
