We’re really glad you’re enjoying the game! You’re right - for now, the coins don’t have a use yet, but we’re already working on an update where you’ll be able to spend them on fun upgrades and new features. We hope you’ll enjoy the next version and maybe feel it deserves all 5 stars! ### 3/5 — 理想の料理ゲーム *2025-10-08* デザインが素敵だし、ストレス無く遊べて楽しいです。こんなゲームがやりたかった…！ 強いて言うなら、作った料理の名前や情報が欲しいです。 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏. We’re glad Sofra gave you the stress-free, fun experience you were looking for. Your idea about adding the names and info of the dishes is wonderful - we’ll keep it in mind for future updates. ### 5/5 — Best cooking app *2025-10-04* Sofra – Cooking Simulator offers a realistic and relaxing culinary experience where players prepare authentic dishes from around the world. The game features detailed recipes, lifelike cooking mechanics, and a cozy kitchen atmosphere. Its intuitive controls and beautiful visuals make it enjoyable for food lovers who enjoy creativity and simulation gameplay. **Developer response:** So glad Sofra’s flavors and details caught your eye! Imagine each level as a tiny kitchen adventure - and we’re cooking up new updates with more dishes and surprises to make it even more magical! ### 4/5 — Aesthetic game! *2025-09-29* I would give a 4 for now because I like to cook and since they didn’t add music background or if I’m the only one experience it, I added music using my Spotify to match with it but that’s fine. I totally like it however the only thing that I don’t like is the ads. Every time I finish cooking or bake, the ads always pops up so please fix it and I wanted to make anyone know that this game is really fun and chilling, just remove the ads. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 4 stars and for sharing your experience. About the background music -sometimes it may not play if the phone is set to silent mode, so please try turning silent mode off and reopening the game. We’re also working on improving the balance with ads, since we understand they can feel too frequent. We hope future updates will make Sofra even more enjoyable, and maybe one day you’ll feel it deserves 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-09-27, version 26* Buen juego entretenido ### 5/5 — Thank u *2025-09-27* It ads removal issue is fixed. This is a really satisfying cooking game, no pressure to play at all. I was just wondering, since there is coins, will there be shops in the future? Like buying new recipes Or cooking materials in different colors? **Developer response:** We’re truly sorry for this issue . If you’ve paid to remove ads, they should not appear - what you describe is not how Sofra is meant to work. Could you please share more details (your device and version) so we can investigate and fix it as soon as possible? Thank you for your patience, and we’ll do our best to resolve this quickly ### 5/5 — Fun Game! *2025-09-15* Sofra is such a charming cooking game that instantly makes you feel like you’re in a warm, inviting kitchen. The detailed recipes are not only fun to follow in-game but also easy to try at home. I really like how it offers dishes of all levels, from simple meals to more advanced creations. It’s a relaxing and enjoyable way to discover new recipes while having fun cooking virtually. **Developer response:** Your words mean so much to us. We’re thrilled that Sofra feels cozy and exciting, and even more that the recipes inspire you to cook in your own kitchen. Knowing the design and atmosphere made the game feel like home is the best compliment we could ask for. Thank you for playing and sharing this warmth with us. ### 5/5 — The most adorable game EVER🧚🏽‍♀️✨ *2025-09-15* If you’re thinking about downloading it do it this game is by far the cutest cozy game I’ve ever played from the App Store! Whoever designed it you nailed and thank you so much for this masterpiece and I will add that this game has a way of totally sucking you in and keeping your attention span (which I struggle with) like the beautiful colors and attention to detail with graphics chefs kiss 🤌🏽 and also paying to unlock other levels in my opinion is so worth it!!! Obsessed is an understatement 🥹 **Developer response:** Wow, your words truly touched us. It’s amazing to know Sofra gave you that cozy vibe and kept your attention with its colors and details - that’s exactly what we dreamed of creating. Hearing that you even find unlocking levels worth it is the biggest compliment. Thank you for calling Sofra a masterpiece - your support means everything to our team. ### 5/5 — Me encantaaa *2025-09-15, version 24* Es mi juego favorito, me encanta cocinar ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I liked it until it stole my money *2025-11-11* I bought the ads free pack and immediately after the app force closed and never reopened. I tried deleting and reinstalling and that didn’t work. I also tried restarting my iPad and that didn’t work either. I can only assume the devs took my money and gave me nothing in return. ### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing *2025-11-06, version 27* Really enjoy this game but it just recently started crashing every time I open the app. it’ll load and then crash. Really bummed bc I enjoy playing this game a lot! ### 1/5 — I paid a bajillion $$$ to get rid of ads and more recipes (sometimes twice)… *2025-11-06* Now it literally does not work. Every time I start the game, it shuts down. I am LIVID. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling it. I’ve tried everything I could think of, NOTHING works. It’s total garbage. ### 1/5 — This game is a scam! *2025-10-22* Please do not purchase this game if you are wanting more than what’s free to play. This game will STEAL your money. You won’t get the levels you paid for and you will still get ads if you pay to remove them. and restoring your purchases WILL NOT fix it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! ### 1/5 — Constantly asks to purchase ad-free version. *2025-10-11, version 27* I purchased the ad-free version but it still asks me and won’t let me play the game. It’s a scam. ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-08-24* I purchased (multiple times) no ads, and ads continued to pop up. I purchased additional recipes (more than once) and I never got to play them. No new levels or recipes showed up. It just does the same 20 something recipes on a loop. Tried to restore purchases and nothing happened. Has the potential to be a great game but right now it’s just stealing my money and giving me nothing in return. Very disappointing. **Developer response:** We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. What you described is not the experience we want for our players. We are already working on fixing this issue, and it would help us a lot if you could share more details about your device or situation so we can investigate faster. Thank you for your patience - we’ll do our best to make things right. ### 1/5 — 100% a scam *2025-08-16* This game is definelty a scam. **Developer response:** We’re very sorry to hear you feel this way. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our players. Could you please share a bit more about what happened so we can understand and address the issue properly? Your feedback really helps us improve. 🙏💛 ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-07-23* Payed for no adds twice still got add i would like a refund now ### 2/5 — Broken *2025-07-14* Purchased no ads, doesn’t apply. Even when I hit “restore purchases.” Game has potential, just needs some things fixed. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback and patience! We’re sorry the purchase didn’t work as expected. We’d appreciate it if you could kindly describe what happens when restoring — it will help us fix the issue faster.
