### 3/5 — Jeux trop cute

*2026-08-18*

Le jeu est vraiment mignon avec ses couleurs pastel et ses personnages  adorables, mais je ne pense pas continuer sur la longue à cause de l’amas de pubs et du fait  de devoir les regarder pour débloquer des éléments dans le jeux. Dommage

### 4/5 — Frosch Karaoke dauert noch

*2026-08-17*

Spiel ist easy und beruhigend, aber schnell durchzuspielen. Bei mir hats nicht mal einen Monat gedauert. Weiterhin steht da, dass Frosch Karaoke später kommt, aber wann ist das?

### 4/5 — Really enjoying it :)

*2026-08-11*

Very cute game, love the graphics. I haven’t been playing for very long but I’m enjoying it already! 😁🐸🍄

### 3/5 — Cute and fun! But some issues.

*2026-08-07*

Wish there was a way (even if it was super expensive) to convert coin into gem. Also after a while, customers get stuck in front of the tent without ordering. Have to close and re open tab. Also can see crowd of customers at far end of entrance.

### 4/5 — Good idle game

*2026-08-04*

Not too many bugs pretty good gameplay loop but dose get a little boring other than that a great app it has been a nice experience still have the game on overall a pretty cool app.:3

### 5/5 — Great game just one suggestion

*2026-08-01*

I got this game a a week or two ago and I love it, I was just wondering if maybe you guys could add to the managers maybe like a waiter to do the orders, and like every 300 seconds it does it automatically so you don’t  have to wait for it to walk around. Also the same with a janitor, it would be cool to have a worker clean up the rubbish. Anyways thanks great game!

### 5/5 — Muito bom! E tem fkmj jogar offline!!

*2026-07-31*

Baixei o jogo antes de uma viagem, procurei a empresa do jogo klepto cats pq conheço e gosto dele e nao me decepcionei! Amei muito legal, mas podia ter mais algumas coisas para se fazer para nao ser tão repetitivo

### 5/5 — So easy and cute to play!

*2026-07-31, version 1.2.1*

It’s so CUTE and fun to play if you like kawaii DEFIANTLY GET THIS! Honestly It’s so easy. 5 stars!

:)     :D

### 4/5 — Good game but needs more

*2026-07-30*

I love this game but I’ve already finished it completely, and I wish there was more to do because I really love it.

### 5/5 — Remember playing it when it came out.

*2026-07-30, version 1.2.1*

I first played this when it came out and it didn’t have collecting bugs or not even the capybara spa and lazy river when I first played. But it was still awsome today like it was before :D ps. Please put more features like opening tent doors and other stuff that would be cool.

### 4/5 — iCloud pls!!!!

*2026-07-29*

This game is so cute and relaxing the only flaw is there’s no iCloud save, I really wish to also play it on my iPad but I really don’t want to start over and having two different data

### 4/5 — Great game. Just a few critiques.

*2026-07-29*

I love the game the only issue I have is that I’m doing way too much at one time. I have to constantly be pressing the button for more customers while also trying to take the orders and collect all the money. I have the employees and I’m upgrading them as fast as it’ll let me but they only last for a couple of seconds then have a long cooldown time. This game seems like a cool relaxing game but there is too much going on. If it was made where you don’t have the press the button as much that would probably fix the only issue I have with the game.

### 5/5 — 𝓢𝓸𝓸𝓸 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭!

*2026-07-29*

It is so good but kinda boring tho only a lil bit and the artstlye is so cutee ૮ ⸝⸝>  ̫ <⸝⸝ ა

### 5/5 — Amazing!

### 5/5 — Pond Pals

*2026-07-28*

Das Spiel ist sehr entspannend,süß und einfach gehalten .Perfekt für die Warteschlange oder einen stressfreien Abend .

### 4/5 — Very relaxing

*2026-07-27, version 1.2.1*

Pond Pals is a very relaxing, chill game. I love the art and aesthetics, especially getting to decorate and upgrade my pond. My only critique is that I wish there was a challenging aspect to the game. Something as simple as playing a mini game for coins would give this game more interest. Despite this, I still love playing! Great so far!

### 5/5 — very fun, and cheap

*2026-07-26, version 1.2.1*

if you need a cute adorable fun game this is it!

### 5/5 — Mt bom

### 4/5 — 그래픽 너무 예쁘고 귀여워요

*2026-07-24*

굉장히 천천히 굴리는 중인데 이런 겜은 이맛으로 하는거죠 머ㅎㅎ

### 1/5 — Uhh…. WHAT. 🫪

*2026-07-05*

Hello, I am SuperFrogtasticReviews, but you can call me froggy. 🤪 I mean no disrespect to the game creators, this is just my opinion. 😌

Before I absolutely slander this app, I first wanna get this out of the way…

THIS APP IS NOT BAD.

It’s really REALLY really really (insert about 5,372 more really’s and you’ll get my point) CUTE. It’s fun to check on a few times a day, and pretty much low maintenance.

I was actually looking forward to upgrading everything to full completion.

But something… happened…. 😨

(Erie silence)

Okay, now that im done saying good qualities, (and foreshadowing,) let me tell you a story.

So, I had this app for about two weeks at this point, I looked at my notifications.

I saw a message saying “Hey! Check out the capybara osen!” (I have no clue what that is). In the game I saw it’s signpost before the update, but I didn’t think much of it.

I, in my sweet, innocent little mind thought “hey! Maybe an osen is a hotub!” (The picture showed the water steaming)

When I got on, I collected enough moneys to buy it.

And-WHAT THE DAY OLD FRIES WITH EXTRA SUS SAUCE?!? A SHRINE? And… DA HECK? YOU CAN MAKE OFFERINGS.

No kidding, this was in the game.

As you can guess, my Christian sensors were blaring LOUD.

So, if you don’t get why this is bad…

A SHRINE. IN A GAME FOR KIDS MIND YOU.

NO AI GENERATED RESPONSE THE DEVS COULD GIVE ME BEGGING ME TO COME BACK COULD CONVINCE ME.

Why did this need to exist? In a cute game?

For CHILDS?!?

Pond pals, and anyone in the dev team who thought this was a good idea, shame on you.

Bye! Jesus loves you 🥰.

P.s., devs, if a human is reading this, do this combination of emojis: 🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸👑🐸

### 1/5 — Сбросился прогресс

*2026-06-27*

В один прекрасный день без причины снесся прогресс, чуть ли не с 17го уровня прокачки до 8го, исчезла большая часть купленных ранее предметов, будто игру отмотали назад. А ведь были открыты уже все посетители и потрачено немало алмазов. Проходить все повторно никакого желания..

**Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry that you are experiencing an issue with the game. Please send us a message from the settings section of your game so we can help you. Thanks for playing!

### 1/5 — Ok game

*2026-06-23, version 1.1.2*

This game is too slow for just me, don’t know about other people

### 1/5 — You cap upgrades & bugs

*2026-06-14, version 1.0.3*

The upgrades you can buy say they add to your income, but the moment your income reaches 4000 per minute it caps. So regardless of any upgrades you add later your income is stuck at 4000.

Also once you get doubled up on the tents you get a glitch where the creature will accept your order and just stand there. You have to wait for the raccoon to get there and scare them off. Only for it to happen again in 2 minutes.

### 1/5 — Fun game

*2026-06-08, version 1.0.3*

game is good but not been able to make progress for over a week so i don’t know how much longer i’ll keep it tbh!! 
edit to add it’s now been an extra week so im changing to 1 stars with no updates lol

### 1/5 — looks cute, really boring

*2026-05-31, version 1.0.3*

there’s basically nothing to do aside from mindlessly tapping until you have to watch an ad. cute concept but it’s unfortunately very non-interactive and linear. just tapping until you can upgrade stuff. no creative input on the part of the “player.” not a very satisfying way to unwind and relax either. maybe i’m being a bit harsh, but i was really disappointed after waiting for this to release, and the actual experience of playing was a complete and total bust.

### 1/5 — 팁 광고보기 했더니 광고를 4개를 트네

*2026-05-29*

광고를 2분을 보게 만드는게 말이 됨? 내가 게임을 다운 받았는지 ott를 받았는지 모르겠네

### 1/5 — Чудо

*2026-05-23*

Не игра а чудо

### 1/5 — Постоянно СМОТРЮ. Лагает + нет облачного сохранения.

*2026-05-21*

Постоянно СМОТРЮ видео: ну хоть какое-нибудь ввели бы ограничение на просмотр в сутки!!! Донат без смысла вообще, так как ты всех этих показателей добиваешься со временем.

### 1/5 — Inappropriate adds

*2026-05-21*

For a game that claims to be for 4+, they have no right showing an add for “pine drama” which is soft pxrn if not crossing the line of being pxrn itself. This is disgusting. This is how children are exposed to these ideas. Do you not even care to monitor what adds your showing? Just say yes if they’ll pay? I planned on writing a review about how it’s a cute app- definitely pay to win but still has me hooked… but no. This trumps that review. I expect this to be fixed immediately. And before you say children shouldn’t be watching adds, I’ve already clicked on the add thing 3 times as it came across my screen on accident and there’s no way to exit until the add is over. So you’re kinda trapping kids into watching inappropriate videos or exiting out of the app (which we know not many will do bc of curiosity as well as wanting to continue playing) 

While I’m writing this, I do want to mention there’s minor inconveniences with the screen layout. The yellow advertisement you have on the right hand side of the screen almost completely blocks the right island/Lilly pad and it’s very annoying to have to maneuver around it. The left side isn’t too much better. It’s annoying. I can’t see when the little guys want to eat. The 6th server isn’t working. Doesn’t matter who’s selected. Spent diamonds for nothing and that’s quite frustrating. 

 Congrats, it’s a cute game and I can see it being successful- but you absolutely need to monitor your adds if you’re going to claim this game is appropriate for 4 year olds to play.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your comment and your concern. Our games have an Age Gate system that directly affects the way ads are shown to our users. Unfortunately we don’t have any visibility into the ads which are shown by the ad networks that we work with. But we’ll do our best to filter out inappropriate ads as best as possible by working with industry leading ad providers.

### 5/5 — This is a really relaxing and fun game

*2026-08-04*

I’ve been waiting for this game for a while and I do not regret it honestly because it has a cute and calming art style. And I also love how this game has barely any adds and the only adds there are is the ones that you use is for coins or gems. And it’s very fun especially since I love collecting sets! 

Pond pals developers thank you for this spectacular game it is so fun and amazing!

### 5/5 — Nice game :D

*2026-08-02*

The graphics on this game are top-notch with the most adorable characters and decorations! I wish I played the game on release ;-; I had a lot of fun playing the game! Probably 
low-key better than My Dear Farm btw :) Obviously, a game made by HyperBeard is a good game! My only problem is it is still early in development, so cute game will turn into CUTE game. (iykyk) And also, it takes up a bit of your space, so clear up first! I hope this review helps with the game’s development!

I’m very excited for Frog Karaoke!
