I was just thinking how to add to the politician package congressman and Senator to the mix. I think it would be better! But great game overall ### 4/5 — Love *2026-09-06, version 3.25* I’ve only been playing this game for two days, and I’m already addicted! There’s so much to do, and I especially love the family side of the game. I love that you can actually be involved in your children’s lives, influence their education, and make choices that help shape the direction their lives take. It makes raising a family feel like a meaningful part of the game rather than just an extra feature. The main thing I’d love to see improved is the difficulty. So far, I’ve found earning money fairly easy. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I’d love more of a challenge when it comes to building wealth and progressing financially. Having to work a little harder, make smarter choices, or take more risks to earn money would make the progression feel much more rewarding. I’d also love to see more activities and hobbies added in the future. More things to do in your character’s free time, different hobbies to explore, and more activities to do with friends and family would add even more variety and make each character’s life feel more unique. Overall, I’m really enjoying the game and can already see myself putting way too many hours into it! ### 3/5 — Expensive Pack *2026-08-10, version 3.20* Previously there was a free trial to try out the packs. Now, you have to pay to regain access. I understand that the dev must earn money, but the amount is too egregious even for someone living in North America. I cannot imagine the rate for those with a weak currency. The game is great and has potential, but it is still being developed. For that price point, for a still developing games, comparable to AAA game price, it is a cash grab. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-08, version 3.18* Only complaint is i build up a business into the billions, then I try to sell and it only lets me sell it for like a couple million basically meaning i built it up for nothing. I also have built up several multibillion dollar companies in a life time and when i pass them onto my kids and become board chairman, i only get the income from the most recent business but not all the businesses. I also think we should be able to control setting our own salaries more if we own a business. Should also be able to take them public and sell portions of the company. Should have more business options like opening a bank, or going into oil and gas. ### 5/5 — Bugs *2026-08-01, version 3.18* Bugs with the live streaming feature example: I got my stream multiplier into the millions. Bug with the work harder and chat with coworkers where in one year it seems you can have an infinitely long “work streak” by just pressing work harder and chat with coworkers. I love the game though well done. ### 5/5 — My favorite new game, just a few bugs. *2026-07-31, version 3.18* I didn’t know until this recent update that it was newer but I love this game so far and can see all the potential in it. I haven’t gotten a chance to play through everything because of a few bugs like I can’t play the modeling career at all, it completely freezes my game. Sometimes when I press on more details about my character, it also freezes my game. Other than those 2 things, I love how you’re updating a lot and keep the content coming even though it’s already so much to do in the game so far. I’m a bitizen and have been playing BitLife since released but this game has def replace BitLife for me. Thank you for making this game free to play as well. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-29, version 3.18* This game has so much potential and it’s very addicting. Can you give us more character options please?. ### 5/5 — So much Fun *2026-07-25, version 3.17* This is my favorite Life Simulator Game. It’s the first one that feels realistic. From the characters to the jobs to the gameplay it’s been great. I would definitely love some more characters to choose from and maybe even if we can change hairstyles or little things like that. I can’t wait to see what next comes from the game! ### 5/5 — Love itt! *2026-07-23, version 3.16* I love how the characters & everything’s realistic but it would be even more better if we were able to interact with the “in-laws” and have more very expensive & luxurious cars & houses. ### 5/5 — . *2026-07-23, version 3.16* This game is very fun but every time I try to become a doctor it says I can’t because my reputation but I don’t know what that mean I tried a lot of times then Im stuck with no job because it gives me no other options ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-07-22, version 3.16* Fun! ### 5/5 — Interesting game play *2026-07-22, version 3.16* I don't have any expectations for this game but it turns out very addictive! Exploring options and completing challenges for my characters to develop his life is so much fun ### 5/5 — Super Fun *2026-07-19, version 3.15* So much fun. I’m able to play the game and relax. I can play for hours. ### 5/5 — Glitching *2026-07-19, version 3.15* When I first saw this game, I was really excited to try a new life simulator. Once I open the app. All it did was flash, and I could not create a character or even play the game. ### 4/5 — Isn’t it in android?? *2026-07-16, version 3.15* Why I can’t find this app in google store:)?? ### 3/5 — Fast life *2026-07-14, version 3.15* Every life end fast ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bug still there after multiple patches *2026-08-08, version 3.18* iPhone 13. Start screen restarting and rebooting every other second ### 1/5 — Message *2026-07-14, version 3.15* I keep dying at 18 or 19 and this is a 1 star game ### 1/5 — 100% made with AI *2026-07-09, version 3.14* Really disappointed to see that all of the art was AI. Complete disrespect to real artists out there who are struggling for work ### 1/5 — 5 stars? *2026-06-29, version 3.12* Whoever rated this 5 stars is lying, it’s ai slop with barely anything to do and all extra content which I’m sure adds little value to the game at 30$ 😭✌🏼 ### 1/5 — Game *2026-05-28, version 2.9* Why do i keep dying so young ? Is it because im going bankrupt ? Like whats the point of the game ### 1/5 — Ahh *2026-04-30, version 2.2* It is ahh ### 2/5 — I’m very upset *2026-08-14, version 3.21* I am very upset because I made two purchases. One was 5.99 for the live through your kid or whatever and there was like a deal and that didn’t go through so I thought that was a fluke and I reported it and so I made another purchase which was 29.99 and that one didn’t go through either so I don’t know why I’m not receiving my purchases but I need someone to help me figure that out. Thank you. Too because I really like the game and all other aspects. Besides the fact that it’s taking my money and not letting me play the game! ### 2/5 — Game crash *2026-07-03* Game crashes every time I open the assets tab. ### 2/5 — Game won’t let me in *2026-06-20, version 3.10* The game won’t let me get past creating my character, sends me back to the knock knock. I think the game is bugged ### 3/5 — Fix continue to child life *2026-08-21, version 3.22* When passing on the legacy to the child and living through them it’s like a whole new person that was never part of the family. Also you discord link in broken ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Different and fun. *2026-09-08, version 3.25* Love this game, just wish I could cycle through more than 7 faces to choose from. ### 5/5 — Love this game but needs more avatars and countries *2026-09-08, version 3.25* I love this game. I truly do. But I feel like we should have the option to customize our avatars. That’ll make it feel more personal for us. Also, we need more countries ### 5/5 — Top Tier Game! *2026-09-01, version 3.24* It’s an awesome game, it would also be dope to have more criminal career paths, or a military career path otherwise an amazing game. Great job! ### 5/5 — Just try It! *2026-08-27, version 3.23* This game solves the UI problem that a lot of other simulation problems seem to not handle. It’s easy to use and not clunky. You can customize your character with more than emojis. The careers are pretty well fleshed out. (Especially the Author career. Like you can literally do book signings, actually signing). It’s free to download so just give it a try!! Update: unfortunately i have been unable to play this game because 1. Playing as your children is locked behind a paywall. 2. Even if I wanted to pay for it I don’t even have the option. ### 5/5 — Add A Pack Name Divine God *2026-08-19, version 3.21* Act as a god mostly ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-08-16, version 3.21* Honestly this game has widely customizable features that I haven’t seen anywhere else before, I didn’t really think much of it when I first downloaded it thinking it was gonna be like some others (locked behind pay walls, vague, not a lot of variety) but it’s the exact opposite 🙏 There is some features that you do have to pay for but it’s not much, the base game without paying has a vast range and would suffice if nothing else. The picking of personal aspects to your avatar and life are well thought and can make it feel more interesting and interactive, I can’t emphasize the variety enough though! currently with the way this game is progressing with updates I think it can be the best simulation game for free/low cost passes. I would recommend playing and sharing it with other people. It’s like a hidden gem🙏 ### 5/5 — Just try It! *2026-08-16, version 3.21* This game solves the UI problem that a lot of other simulation problems seem to not handle. It’s easy to use and not clunky. You can customize your character with more than emojis. The careers are pretty well fleshed out. (Especially the Author career. Like you can literally do book signings, actually signing). It’s free to download so just give it a try!! ### 5/5 — How do I purchase the pack? *2026-08-13, version 3.21* There’s alot of issues trying to purchase pls let me know I can’t tap on it ### 5/5 — I love this game but… *2026-08-13, version 3.20* I love this game and bought the full bundle directly from your store and I see the constant updates however I had one of my kids ask first help with their wedding and that same kid I invested 10k month into there account and gave 200m when he turn 18 I would like that to be taken more deeply by charters ### 5/5 — Fab Game - Just wish all access Bundle and other packs were slightly cheaper *2026-08-11, version 3.20* I’ve only begun playing today and I can already say it’s fabulous! The depth is astonishing and you can do so much more than on other life simulators, yet it doesn’t get repetitive nor overwhelming. It reminds me of an old game called Instalife that was of similar standards before it was shut down by BitLife. You can truly see the love and dedication poured into the app, and that the devs genuinely value their users. While packs aren’t necessary for a wonderful play through, you are initially given a taster on your first life. I do sincerely understand that this is a new game and that you need to find yourselves and updates, I do wish the value pack - and others - were cheaper, as it’s not something I can justify at the moment. Not because of the game (which is great!) but due to finances. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
