I’m close to deleting it altogether. ### 3/5 — The ads are killing me. *2026-01-23, version 1.86.1* Used to be one of my favorite games. It is now become one of my dreaded games. The majority of ads on this game are broken. Your only way out is to completely shut down the game. I see the same ads on other games and they are not broken so I have to believe that it is the negligence of this apps team to keep broken ads out of their system. And the advertisers have gotten smart. The complaint button at the bottom left stopped working so you can’t complain that the ad is broken. Sometimes an ad may run for as long as three minutes. I was told they have a standard that no ad should run longer than 40 seconds and there has to be the closure button clearly visible. None of their standards are being followed. Fix it! Don’t bother contacting the app developers,I did, still failing in following through with their standards. ### 3/5 — Fun game *2026-01-23, version 1.86.1* So I grew up watching Looney Tunes where Elmer Fudd shot Bugs Bunny. And I could go on and on. Once I became an adult, I couldn’t believe my parents let me watch such violent cartoons. There is some of that here. Where Simon slaps the guy with a baseball bat and I’m reminded of my childhood. Have we not moved forward in society where we can have games that appeal to children and ARE NOT violent?? ### 3/5 — Levels repeating themselves *2026-01-22, version 1.86.1* Been playing this for a while now. I enjoy it and it’s an ok game but two things annoy me. Firstly, I’m on level 2524 and I’ve noticed for a few levels now I’ve played those same level layouts before. The exact same, which is frustrating. Secondly, in the tournament, it’s nigh on impossible to get in the top 3. Im honestly convinced the top 3 are bots. I’ve see scores of 3/4/500k…there’s no way it’s possible to get that high a score. I’m sure it’s bots in the high scores this preventing genuine players from winning the higher prizes. ### 3/5 — The ads are killing me. *2025-11-09, version 1.83.0* Used to be one of my favorite games. It is now become one of my dreaded games. The majority of ads on this game are broken. Your only way out is to completely shut down the game. I see the same ads on other games and they are not broken so I have to believe that it is the negligence of this apps team to keep broken ads out of their system. And the advertisers have gotten smart. The complaint button at the bottom left stopped working so you can’t complain that the ad is broken. Sometimes an ad may run for as long as three minutes. I was told they have a standard that no ad should run longer than 40 seconds and there has to be the closure button clearly visible. None of their standards are being followed. Fix it! Don’t bother contacting the app developers,I did, still failing in following through with their standards. ### 2/5 — Why the ad change? *2025-10-25, version 1.83.0* I don’t know why they changed how you can close off the ads but now it is annoying trying to get back to the game. I get that you have to have ads on a game, but after you watch it for the amount of time required you should just be able to click an X. Now I have to click on open store wait additional time and then hit an X. Why was it changed to this? I am uninstalling because of this. ### 1/5 — Only 4 lives *2025-10-07, version 1.83.0* The only 4 lives thing is completely stupid. Especially on the hard levels. ### 2/5 — Lost everything *2025-10-01, version 1.83.0* After latest update I lost all coins and boosters ### 1/5 — アップデート後不具合 *2025-09-25* 広告なしにするために以前課金したのに最近になって広告が出るようになったかと思ったら、今度は7万以上のポイントが全て消えていた。酷すぎる。 ### 1/5 — Crunch Time *2025-09-24, version 1.83.0* Nie ma tutaj już gry. Tylko reklama i reklama. ### 2/5 — Latest update killed it? *2025-09-24, version 1.83.0* All coins and previous boosts suddenly vanished after update and ads came back. Loved this game, but it’s unplayable now. ### 2/5 — Least favorite of the Simon’s Cat games *2025-09-12, version 1.83.0* Cute game but the long ads ruin it. There are 3 THREE 12 minute ads back to back in between every game. That’s too long. It takes the fun out of it for me. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2025-09-08, version 1.83.0* I enjoy playing this game, but am increasingly fed up with the endless ads, particularly Temu and ridiculous exercise apps. Closing them doesn’t work, just sends me to their website. Considering deleting the game because of them. ### 1/5 — Do not update game😕 *2025-09-06, version 1.83.0* I recently updated the app and when it was done, I lost all of my coins; I had over 40,000 and received 450. Then all of my boosters also were stripped away!!! I had several hundred stored as I use them sparingly. I am very disappointed with this! I have been playing this game for years and this has never happened in the past. My current level is 5172. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-29, version 1.88.0* Take something fun and make it not fun anymore. Truly sad. Its the wave of the future. Stuff as many ads as you can to make people hate your app. Developers don’t care anything about the people who play. Just stuff as many ads down their throat as you can. ### 1/5 — Só tem propagandas *2026-05-07, version 1.87.4* Vc passa mais tempo vendo anúncios do que jogando, uma pena, o jogo era muito viciante ### 1/5 — Bugs not fixed for months *2025-12-26, version 1.85.1* I love this game…maybe too much. But in March of 2025 I submitted a bug report on the game’s Tournament play, where gold tickets I had earned over YEARS just disappeared. I can report any time and they’ll freebie me 5 tickets, but as I’ve reported, the game will use one of those tickets and the other four will disappear, so if I want to play the tournament I can only do so by reporting again, which I have done at least five times. It is now late December 2025 and this bug still is not fixed. (It is the same for all 3 colored tickets, but I only mention the gold for brevity). ### 1/5 — Way too many adds and no add free version *2025-12-06, version 1.84.0* I used to love this app, but now there are so many adds and in app purchases it makes it hard to even play a level. I'd buy an add free version but they don't have one so I am gong to remove it again. ### 1/5 — Latest version removed my ad free account - do not update *2025-11-10, version 1.83.0* I resent being asked to pay AGAIN to remove ads ### 1/5 — No real updates *2025-11-04, version 1.83.0* Use to be a 5 star rating for me. Fun game but the ads are getting to be too much and it’s been the same handful of levels repeating itself. ### 1/5 — Deleting because Help person is rude *2025-10-29, version 1.83.0* I’m sure their Name isnt really Dany but I am deleting this app after years of playing directly because of them. I’ve had to reach out to the help tab only twice and both times they have been very condescending, rude and makes it seem like you getting glitches in the game is your fault. They then will not listen, will get it wrong and then blames you. ### 1/5 — No more Chapter’s in “Blast Time” version? Why? *2025-10-24, version 1.83.0* I have played all of Simon’s Cat games. Started on my phone, uninstalled them when they stopped updating with NEW LEVELS. Not all of Simon’s Cat games have synched to my Tablet. That is why I’m leaving a Review about “Blast Time” here. - I really enjoyed “Blast Time”, but ran through all chapters of the “Story Book” (finding Elves) and completing the additional items to be found on each of the Chapter’s pages. I am very disappointed, I L💖VE Simon’s Cat❣️ But if the Developer’s are not going to add new levels, and/or challenges, I will not be RE-INSTALLING them 😢 Please reply with an explanation. ### 1/5 — brutal update *2025-10-20, version 1.83.0* This was my favourite mobile game: adorable graphics, lots of variety in games… I’ve been playing it for years (made it to level 3177 🫣) and had amassed thousands of coins and hundreds of boosters… With the latest update they are ALL GONE. What is the point of that? To promote pay per play? Nah, I’ll just delete the app instead. Really disappointed in this developer. ### 1/5 — Crashed *2025-10-16, version 1.83.0* This game began crashing and closing on 10.16.25. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game crashing *2026-06-12, version 1.87.4* The game is crashing for the past week. ### 5/5 — Crashes as soon as I open it!! *2026-05-08, version 1.87.4* Please help? ### 5/5 — Nice 🤙 *2026-05-03, version 1.87.4* This game has thousands of levels and it doesn’t constantly prod you for money. It does have an opening reminder about extras you can purchase, but after that, it’s all game with minimal ads. They also hand out lives like candy and have good incentives to return daily. ### 5/5 — crAPP *2026-01-20, version 1.86.0* More ads than a television station pathetic total waste of space idiots ### 5/5 — My favourite game, 8 years in a row. *2025-10-30, version 1.83.0* I’ve been playing this game since I was a kid, and I’ve always loved it. Once they introduced ads, I was hesitant to play again - but these ads aren’t invasive; if you don’t want to watch, you don’t have to. All the ads are skippable & not required. Love it! ### 5/5 — i miss this game *2025-09-27, version 1.83.0* i used to play when it came out i believe. i feel like that was a while ago but this game was so cute its gonna be my new fav again ### 5/5 — Super jeu ! *2025-08-15* Le seul jeu récemment que je ne regrette pas d’avoir payé, c’est joli, mignon, rigolo, suffisamment de difficulté pour pas s’ennuyer, assez de bonus pour ne pas rester coincé… Bref super ! Heureusement que ça existe encore des jeux comme ça ! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2025-08-15, version 1.82.1* I’ve been playing this game for years and love it. From the animation, to the daily challenges, tournaments, and the fact that one can opt out of the ads for a small fee all contribute to a great experience. One can also choose to watch an ad and get extras and not pay anything. The developers also are extremely helpful whenever there’s an issue. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a family-friendly fun game. ### 5/5 — Super! *2025-07-26, version 1.81.0* Bardzo fajna gra i bardzo wciąga. ### 5/5 — View modes gone *2025-06-12, version 1.81.0* I love this game and will continue playing for sure, but have not seen developer comments regarding a lot of players issues with portrait/landscape mode now locked, can this please be in a new update??? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
