### 4/5 — Has been one of my favorites

*2026-07-19, version 1.65.3*

It’s hard to find a balance between using ads as a way to get more free bubbles to play/ finish the game, and having so many ads you spend more time watching them than playing! 
The latter was an issue until this past week, lots of disruptions. 
And now the former is a problem, because today when I run out of bubbles the option to watch an ad just spins and doesn’t allow me to, forcing me to spend points to continue playing. 

At some point will I use them all up and along with them my years of progress or be frozen unable to play without paying? I hope not, since this was my favorite relaxing app up to now. Please return the option to watch an ad when we run out of bubbles, thanks!

### 2/5 — Free Owl

*2026-06-11, version 1.65.1*

What happened to the free owl we got when winning the first game?? Bring it back!

### 3/5 — Sketchy

*2026-05-20, version 1.64.0*

I’ve been playing for years. Never had an issue until the last few updates. It all too common now to finish a daily challenge and have the game freeze. No exit, no. Onus, only option is force quit. They’ve ruined a good thing. Fix the issue and I will update my rating accordingly. Right now, it’s not worth the effort to download and/or play. Sad failure for what used to be a great game.

### 3/5 — デイリークエストから抜けられない

*2026-05-15*

おそらく直近の修正で、デイリークエスト完了後、画面がフリーズして抜けられなくなりました。
インストールをし直しましたが、治りません。

### 2/5 — Used to be okay

*2026-05-13, version 1.64.0*

I have played this game for a while now, found it relaxing and a great way to kill time.  Unfortunately, it has gotten to the point that I spend more time watching ads than playing the game-too many ads that are way too long.  Time to delete.

### 2/5 — $ disappears after updates

*2026-03-18, version 1.63.2*

Fun to play but am seeing funds from points continue to disappear after game is uploaded-please fix

### 4/5 — Crashing

*2026-02-03, version 1.63.0*

Love the game but always crashes and I can’t open the game

### 4/5 — POP at the cat bubble shooter!

*2026-01-26, version 1.62.5*

Simon’s Cat - Pop Time is great. Once played it was great!!

### 3/5 — Don’t like the update

*2026-01-20, version 1.62.5*

I don’t like how the game has been changed to be logged into one device at a time. I normally will swap between my iPhone or iPad, but now if I pick up my tablet and want to play, I have to sign in again and be signed out of my phone. I think that is crazy when it was working well the way it was before. Please change it back.

### 1/5 — Game crashed ?

*2025-12-20, version 1.62.2*

Fix it

### 1/5 — Don’t download the game

*2025-12-10, version 1.62.2*

It is constantly crashing whenever just finished the watching of the adverts. Plus, the adverts are extremely annoying and far too excessive. Demotivate by the issues after reinstalled at least four time.

### 1/5 — Now with forced adds

*2026-09-03, version 1.66.0*

I deleted all these games today. I’ve been playing them every day for years. Now they added adds. Delete

### 1/5 — There is an add after each 2 min level

*2026-07-18, version 1.65.3*

This has way too many adds, no idea how it got this rating… oh wait. Bot farms. It is a cute app but litterly more ads then game. Don’t get me wrong I understand the ads pay for development, but there is literally mor ads then game

### 1/5 — Jeannie

*2026-07-11, version 1.65.2*

The go

### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads and more

*2026-05-15, version 1.64.0*

Ads with a side of game, be prepared to spend more time waiting on Ads then playing.
You need an ad blocker to enjoy this game!!! 
Shame on the developers.

### 1/5 — The game crashed

*2026-04-28, version 1.63.2*

Game just crashed and no launch after ~30 lvl. Fix please.

### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS

*2026-03-06, version 1.63.2*

I'm at level 4300 and about to delete this game i've played for years. A few months ago the game needed a FORCED update.  Since then ads pop up after every level - Like 15 seconds of forced ad nonsense.  And - don't tell me to PAY for ad free game.  Now that this game has become widely popular - they should lessen the ads, not increase them.  Goodbye.

### 1/5 — Fed up!

*2026-02-15*

How many times I have to tap the screen before starting game. Fed up!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-02-01, version 1.62.5*

Cute until they inserted super dumb ads unless you pay

### 1/5 — No to ads

*2026-01-01, version 1.62.2*

I started playing this game when it first came out. Got it again recently and was loving it until today. Very disappointed in the ads. Uninstalling, I have no interest in games with ads constantly popping up.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2025-12-27, version 1.62.2*

Was playing this morning. There was an ad for a belt with out a buckle. At the end of the ad there were pictures of various products and the one at the top was very offensive!

### 5/5 — Game still crashes

*2026-07-23, version 1.65.3*

Saw the update was 6 days ago, but the game still crashes and closes…..

### 5/5 — Game crashed…. Not sure why..

*2026-07-02, version 1.65.2*

Just read the bugs and game were updated but the gsm keeps telling me it crashed.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-06-12, version 1.65.1*

Relaxing, easy game with cute characters.

### 5/5 — THE BEST

*2026-05-27, version 1.65.0*

i remember playing this when i was 5yrs old it was my favourite thing ever! lately i have been thinking about the game and trying to remember what it was called, until i found it! i was full of joy and have started playing again. 10/10 would definitely recommend. its also a great game to play with friends and family if you’re into that kind of thing!

### 5/5 — Wonderful Game!

*2026-05-24, version 1.65.0*

I just started playing this game for the first time a few days ago, and I love it so much already! The game play is fun and creative, and the animations are detailed with vivid colors. All of the Simon’s Cat characters are hilarious and adorable at the same time! I can see why this game has an overall rating of 4.9 stars out of 5.0 on the App Store here. Simon’s Cat deserves all the love!

### 5/5 — Screen freeze after daily game

*2026-05-19, version 1.64.0*

I play every morning, just the daily game. For about the last week, the screen has been freezing after I complete the game. I am unable to close the “pay $ to not wait for tomorrow”.

### 5/5 — Ads freezing up game

*2026-05-11, version 1.64.0*

Love this game, it’s got charming graphics and animation. Skill is entertaining, not so easy it’s boring and not so difficult that it’s frustrating. Since the last software update though, I’ve been having a lot of problems with it freezing up after ads, which is getting super annoying. Maybe game needs an update?

### 5/5 — Funktioniert leider nicht mehr

*2026-04-14*

Seit iOs 26 lässt es sich leider nicht mehr starten und stürzt immer ab. 
Sehr schade, habe es so gerne gespielt 😢

### 5/5 — Best Game

*2026-03-13, version 1.63.2*

I love this game. Very relaxing and easy.

### 5/5 — Rigged to lose :(

*2025-09-22, version 1.61.0*

I love this game and felt so happy that I could “earn” advantages…I really admired that the developers designed the game that way. . The commercials were so frequent and REDUNDANT, I even bought the pass to get around them ~ except when I lose…which almost always…still giving 5stars; it’s truly fun. I’m hoping the developers see this ☮️💗
