I noticed that none of my daily tasks are registering that I’ve done them. The Instagourmet pm is only sometimes registering 1 or 2 when I know I’ve completed them all. And the drink cart game works but I can’t read/get any of the bonuses or buy from that store. Please fix and update thank you! ### 4/5 — Great Game to pass time *2025-04-06, version 1.7.4* Pros: This game has been great so far! I find myself playing for 2+ hours a day, great time filler. Beware, can get very addictive! Paywall options are minimal and non pushy! Cheap as well! You can still play without paying, but one thing Id advise getting is the unlimited ad bypassing! Cons: Can be glitchy. After a new option was added to synthesize memories at once, I’ve lost my entire board twice now without anything being synthesized/made into recall chips. 🙃 ### 4/5 — Problem with redeeming in recall shop?? *2025-01-18, version 1.7.0* To start, love the game, Onto the problem I'm having. So for some context, before the latest update, I had gotten all the recipes. Now that the new update is out, there's some bugs and i don't see anywhere in app to report them, so I'll put them here. 1. Can't use the recall points to get any of the newly released recipes. I click it, it takes my points, and gives me nothing. I've lost ~500-600 points trying cause I thought it was just my internet. 2. Whenever I go into the fairy mini game with the blocks, when I got back to the memory merge, my game freezes if I synthesize a gem. That's all the issues I've experienced this update 👍 ### 4/5 — Good game, awful functionality *2025-01-17, version 1.7.0* UPDATE: Still playing, so that's a good sign I suppose. However, I am currently considering quitting because you can only hire more staff with a specific item. How do you get this item? Premium currency. How do you get premium currency? Wait and play, which is fine, or pay. HOWEVER, these items cost 500 diamonds EACH. It takes a few good days to save up that many diamonds, and some staff positions cost TWO of thse items. I'm quickly approaching a bottleneck in the staff value statistic and won't be able to do anything besides twiddle my thumbs and wait for days. At that point, it's a waste of time - I'm not progressing, and it's not like I'm grinding - the bulk of diamonds are gotten through events that just to happen to throw them at you, but you have limited daily missions to get pass EXP. There's nothing I can do to speed up this process besides throw money at it, and that's just bad game design. Look. I'm giving this 4 stars because I DO really like the game. It's cute, I like the mechanical gameplay aspects more than other games in this similar field, it's really just a pleasant game. WHEN it functions properly. The game launches, so it does have that going for it, and it also doesn't crash. But it just freezes up on occasion. The game tends to forget what menus are. Sometimes completing quests has this god awful delay, so you give up trying to claim it and then it randomly is like "oh yeah, you did a thing, here's that reward now". And sometimes it does that when you've already opened a different menu, so the game gets confused and you have to close and relaunch it. I like this game enough to give it 4 stars and forgive it's shortcomings. That's not to say that the shortcomings don't need to be fixed. I imagine I'll get a canned auto developer reply to email about my issues, but I straight up will not do that, because if the developers played 30 minutes of their game, they'd see all these issues themselves. It's lazy on their part. But, again, I do like the game. Fix it, it'll get 5 stars, easily. ### 4/5 — Bị lỗi *2025-01-17, version 1.7.0* Sau khi cập nhật năm mới thì khi mua thực đơn ngẫu nhiên không lặp lại đã bị lỗi. Khi mua thực đơn ngẫuu nhiên không lặp lại đã bị trừ mực ký ức mà không thấy món mới, tôi đã thử 3 lần đều không nhận được. ### 4/5 — It’s amazing! But one thing… *2025-01-15, version 1.6.9* This game is really fun! The only feedback I have is the red notifications on buttons that I can’t do anything about, because it’s something that costs money. As someone with perfectionism, I always like to ‘get rid of’ the red notifs but not being able to do this is so incredibly infuriating that it puts me in a bad mood. Please please please fix this!!! I don’t want to be reminded for something that costs me money, and I want to be able to get rid of it right away! ### 4/5 — Good game, awful functionality *2025-01-13* Look.

Yet, one of the features I can’t level up because the game only showed the tutorial instructions once. I’m stuck on level 1 of the fairy tree because I cannot for the life of me find out how to get more fairies. ### 4/5 — Love this game! Will there be any multiplayer features? *2024-11-16, version 1.6.6* I absolutely love this game! Everything’s perfect and it’s really well paced. Spending isn’t essential but makes things easier like not having to watch ads for extra rewards. The only thing that could make it even more fun would be if there was a multiplayer aspect? For example if we could visit our friend’s private kitchen even if we couldn’t do anything there. Like a little guest book to write messages to friends too? Would that be added to the game in the future at all? ### 2/5 — Game Won't Load *2024-11-13, version 1.6.6* I really want to try the game out but it doesn't even load past the initial loading screen, it just stays at 99%. Unsure if anyone else is having this issue but it prevents me from wanting to give the game a shot. ### 3/5 — 第一章節主線任務完成之後 *2024-11-04, version 1.6.5* 第一章節主線任務完成之後章節禮包無法領取，無法進入第二章節導致遊戲無法繼續。 ### 3/5 — Good, but a few questions? *2024-10-07, version 1.6.1* 1) Can you give the player the choice to skip the beginning instructions of the “Special Drinks” game? Once you learn it the first time, it’s a little annoying to go through the tutorial every time. 2) The Gastrosprite prayers do not have an actual number of tables need that to be cleared, it just says “Number of Tables”. Is this supposed to have an actual number, or is the number meant to be hidden? ### 3/5 — Great game but recalling a recipe bugged *2024-09-01, version 1.6.0* I like the game but after doing the merge on the memory mini game and getting level 6 on the various items, the recall is not working? I have one of each level 6 gem for recall now but can’t recall any memories for the recipes? Everything else is great about the game but without being able to recall more recipes I can’t progress now ### 2/5 — Bug? Roll dice is not working *2024-08-25, version 1.5.8* The graphics are very cute so I liked it but since 2days ago, Roll dice game is not starting. When I tap the Roll dice icon, it opens up the past events’ decorations shop. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Chapter *2025-05-10, version 1.7.8* I like the game till I’m stuck on chapter 2. Can’t seem to move forward. Can’t seem to recall any recipes. Try deleting the app, hoping to start all over but it won’t let me. ### 1/5 — Bug ate shop rewards *2025-01-19, version 1.7.0* I’m 5 recipes away from unlocking all of the recipes. I used the Recall Shop as a means to obtain recipes I don’t have. The game ate up 400-500 points (4-5 unobtained recipes) and didn’t reward me with anything. I used 15-20 of the full stamina consumable to get everything. Lol what a waste of time ### 1/5 — Many bugs no sound *2025-01-15, version 1.7.0* Bugs ### 1/5 — 太多bug *2024-12-20, version 1.6.9* 第一天下載就儲值了各種道具、獎勵跟月費。課金而提前獲得的員工在故事推進後重複出現同角色，卻在下次打開遊戲時被覆蓋，前面投入的訓練成本都沒了。邀請朋友下載遊戲也沒有獲得應有獎勵。遊戲bug太多，二樓入口消失一整天。客服處理問題速度緩慢。遊戲單調，循環操作沒變化，又很費時間。玩了三天，準備卸載。 ### 1/5 — Not worth downloading *2024-12-10, version 1.6.8* Hello , I came across this game ad while scrolling on instagram. It caught my eye lol the reason I am typing a review is because I am currently still loading into the game. it’s current loaded percentage is 99% , I really wanted to try out this game. cute loading screen tho ### 1/5 — Talent phone *2024-07-05, version 1.5.3* Pleaseeeee!!!!! Gift us more talent phone, I’m begging you, developers……… pleaseeeee 😭 ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-06-26, version 1.5.1* This game is a scam. There is no warning before an event ends so after trying to collect decor & spending $$ I cannot finish it. It’s unfair. There is also so many bugs. Things disappear and items cannot be placed. Lastly they advertise code redemption on their Facebook page & its FALSE advertising. The codes dot NOT award what they say it should. No decor reward only currency. ### 1/5 — Restart the game. *2024-06-18, version 1.4* I want to restart the game from the beginning but there is no option for that inside the app. Please help. ### 2/5 — app doesn’t open *2025-02-10, version 1.7.1* stopped working for me ### 2/5 — Cannot progress 🫠 *2024-11-14, version 1.6.6* I cannot progress past the memory merging. Tutorial won’t go away even after I merge items. I like this game so far, so it’s super frustrating with this bug! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game is awesome *2025-11-11, version 1.8.4* I just started playing but so far I’m loving it I love these types of games im addicted ### 5/5 — very fun game *2025-04-06, version 1.7.4* please give us more recipes ### 5/5 — Obsessed with this games just a few questions please respond! *2025-02-02, version 1.7.1* I absolutely love this game. This game reminds me a lot of a game that I used to play back in the day that became abandoned by the developer, however. I have some questions from things I haven’t been able to figure out on my own and one of them is, is there any other way to win ‘talent phones’ without having to purchase them or purchasing them through diamonds? I see that they can be a daily gift but that’s just not enough😭 my other question was what’s the whole thing with the ‘nectars’ on the rooftop and what are their purposes. All I know is I can purchase them with my diamonds and then what does that do? Also what is the point of making orders through the little cat? And I also don’t know how to furnish my rooftop. I’ve been able to purchase items for it through environment rating but can’t actually access to see everything I own for that specific area. I hope you can get back to me soon because unfortunately there are no videos to help me out here! ### 5/5 — great game! *2024-12-23, version 1.6.9* honestly this game is super fun, there’s lots to learn and get used to in the game which makes it exciting when you first download it. the graphics are really cute, as well as the little mini games and side quests you can complete. the only thing i have to say is once you get into the game, it doesn’t feel as rewarding as when you start - i definitely think some more needs to be added for later gameplay! also, without spending some money on the gamepass/diamonds things can take a while to progress so it’s definitely not a game you can sit and play for hours and hours. still, it’s really fun and i definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-12-08, version 1.6.8* Love it love it love it. I will only suggest for the gem to call staff, if we can pay with diamonds or even like a package of 5 that’s about it. But overall amazing game really enjoying it ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-11-30, version 1.6.7* Easy play and cute game ### 5/5 — Adorable *2024-11-04, version 1.6.5* It’s cute and cozy but the Traditional Chinese font needs some fixing ### 5/5 — Love this game, definitely a favorite *2024-09-24, version 1.6.1* Love the no ads, plenty to do. I am stuck on how to upgrade the Red Toon Fairy Tree though :/ other than that, loveeee this game ### 5/5 — Cute game *2024-09-21, version 1.6.1* So far, i enjoy this game and its adorable ### 5/5 — I like this game. *2024-07-28, version 1.5.4* This game is full of things to do, the micro-transactions aren't shoved down your throat and aren't really necessary, there are no pop-up ads, all the ads are optional and only used to speed up things, the art style and animation is aesthetically pleasing, all around, this is a solid game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
