Im ok with ads but not this frequent. And the no wifi timer seems really really scummy. ### 2/5 — ads break the game :( *2026-05-16, version 1.4.27* Seems like such a fun, cute game, the only issue are the ads. Every time an ad plays, it basically breaks the game and there’s no way around it. Clicking the x after the ad finishes does nothing and the game is essentially frozen. You can’t swipe out of the game and reopen, as another ad will just play. I also tried using an ad blocker, but for some reason, this game is unaffected and will still show ads. Unfortunately, its a bit unplayable ### 4/5 — 。 *2026-04-19, version 1.4.27* love this! But there is too much advertisement! ### 5/5 — 好不容易攒买百颗星为什么购买失败啊 *2026-03-27, version 1.4.27* 啊啊开了加速器也没办法我心碎 ### 5/5 — Favorite App EVER!!! *2026-03-03* Best seek and find puzzle game you can get free or paid hands down!!! The ONLY negative thing I can say is I want MORE!!!!!! I have already unlocked all the magazines and I have anxiety every time I finish a puzzle, but I just CANNOT STOP! There aren’t many ads at all if you use the free version. I was ready to purchase happily thinking there was more levels, and would still GLADLY pay to play if the developers would release MORE!! Please 🙏🏻 PLEASE ❤️ ### 2/5 — все было хорошо, до поры до времени *2026-02-25, version 1.4.27* одна из моих любимых игр, рассматривать картины в уровнях – сплошное удовольствие. из плюсов: развивает фантазию и внимательность, дарует вдохновение. и на этом, к сожалению, все. присутствуют баги во время нахождения предмета, а именно анимации, где порой игра не реагирует на еще одно нахождение, а значит, что нужно ждать конца анимации, что бы повторно найти вещь. это слегка надоедает. иногда и просто не реагирует на касание, что приводит к повторному поиску. все это – лишь мелочи, не так сильно мешающие игре. моя самая главная претензия заключается в загрузке второго журнала, которая просто не идет! с vpn и без, она просто не идет дальше 1/4 💔 очень обидно, надеюсь это как то можно исправить? хотелось бы пройти дальше, ведь игра сама по себе хорошая ### 3/5 — Takes too much space! *2026-02-20, version 1.4.27* This is a great app however it’s currently taking over 4 gb of storage space. That’s significantly more than any other casual app I have installed and for that reason I need to delete it. ### 4/5 — Love… but a couple things *2026-02-05* I adore this game and I am practically addicted. It’s such a relaxing seeking game that I have been playing everyday for the past week now. It’s so interactive and unique, something I haven’t seen in a while. However, I do wish that I was able to zoom out all the way to see the full picture rather than having a limit to how much I can zoom out. I also think it would be a good idea to get rid of the ones we have already finished to save some storage space. ### 4/5 — download *2026-01-29, version 1.4.27* Cannot download other magazine ### 5/5 — so cuteness *2026-01-26, version 1.4.27* the art is so cute and i love how many different styles there overall great game i’ve spent so much time on it ### 5/5 — 为什么下载不了第二本 *2026-01-21, version 1.4.27* 下载不了第二本图画 ### 5/5 — Really Creative *2026-01-17, version 1.4.27* This is an awesome game, Super cute and comfy vibes. Each magazine has different themes which I enjoy. I was surprised when I saw that this was the only game made my hotcornsoup! I absolutely love this game, I pretty much always play it when I have free time. I don’t want this game to end, so please add more magazines. Ideas: Easter,Valentines,Mystery,mystic, and prehistoric. ### 3/5 — Update the system *2026-01-08, version 1.4.27* I haven't been able to update the new picture book. Please fix the bug as soon as possible. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-01-06, version 1.4.27* The is game so calming and peaceful, i also love the art and music. Is there anyway to know the artist behind every illustration? ### 3/5 — Delete some puzzles? *2025-12-24, version 1.4.27* I love this app, but it is taking up. Lot of space on my device. Can I delete old “issues” that I have downloaded and completed? Otherwise I m afraid I will have to get rid of the app. Please let us remove some downloads. ### 5/5 — So Great, So cute *2025-12-21, version 1.4.27* I’ve been playing for years off and on, and I would love to see more levels added <3 (I finished most of them) Hoping to never see AI art here, thanks to all the artist who make these pages :) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-12-21, version 1.4.27* Awesome but my phone started shaking uncontrollably once I got too far in the matching card minigame ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 攒够了100颗星为什么不能删除广告？ *2026-07-22, version 1.4.27* 如果攒够了100颗心，不可以购买删除广告的话，那为什么要出这样一个机制呢？费劲巴拉的攒够了100颗心告诉我购买失败。。。 ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-06-16, version 1.4.27* The game seems great but is unplayable due to the adds. This is not an exaggeration. I played the first scene with no interruptions but by the second I had 3 ad breaks almost one after the other - there was maybe a maximum of 10 seconds between. Ridiculous. I’ll be uninstalling ### 1/5 — Two women kissing *2026-05-20, version 1.4.27* I liked this game until a new scene with two women kissing. Game Apps shouldn’t have any kind of agendas. Seeing two women kissing in an animated scene was offensive because it’s an agenda and unnecessary to add to a fun game. You’ll lose fans of this game app. What a shame, I enjoyed this game, but other times why I would uninstall it because of the depressing game app ads of a mother and her children being in the freezing cold with no shelter, are the most sickening game apps, just to get people to see what happens in the end. There’s no reason to see women suffering and seeing children crying in icy weather. I’m out. ### 1/5 — I am sorr y for review I will change if you fix bug *2025-12-10, version 1.4.27* Audio is missing please fix ### 1/5 — Insane amount of ads and interruptions *2025-12-09, version 1.4.27* I used to really love this game, but now the ads have taken over. I just got like 5 ads in the last 8 minutes. I wish it was an exaggeration but it's not: I timed it and I'm getting ads back to back within less than a minute. Even without wifi, the ads are substituted with a timer which goes off at the same frequency. It's impossible to enjoy the game when you have to stop for 45+ seconds after every other item that you find. I never write reviews, but this is just ridiculous. Completely ruined what was a cute and enjoyable game. ### 1/5 — 更新 *2025-07-12, version 1.4.26* 更新不了！！！！！ ### 1/5 — Developers should be ashamed of themselves. *2025-07-11, version 1.4.26* I was having fun, but then found out, this game actually PUNISHES you for not having internet! Seriously??? Every so often, the screen goes dim and reports a problem accessing the internet and then forces you to wait while a timer counts down before it resumes. It’s not doing anything in the background, but wasting your time. The game does not require internet, but the developers chose this rude scheme to force you to connect. No thanks!! Deleting! ### 1/5 — Ads ruin it *2025-04-27, version 1.4.26* This game was amazing I love the art and different styles they have but the ads ruined it. They pop up during game play randomly and when you try to play on the go without wifi it will still pop up with screen telling you to wait 50 seconds until the game is resumed because their ads couldn’t load. I hope they adopt a different ad style in the future, something you can choose to get stars or something between games. Really awful way to ruin a fun game. ### 1/5 — 服了一直更新不了 不同设备之间也不互通 *2025-03-08, version 1.4.25* 无论是手机还是平板还是mac都更新不了！！！！！！ 明明我网络一点问题都没有！！！ 我内存也够！！！！！ 更新期间也没关闭app！！！！！！！！！！ 另外不同设备之间账号也不互通 我手机上第一册全部通关了，在平板上或者电脑上明明是同一个账号下载的，却什么都不显示，还是全新账号 服了能不能好好改改 ### 1/5 — add free purchase did not work *2025-03-01, version 1.4.25* i bought the ad free option. not only was the money taken from my account but apple can’t even find it on my purchase history. i deleted and redownloaded the game and lost all my progress because for some reason it doesn’t save. so now im out $10 and my time. this is terrible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE ITTTTTT !! *2026-07-30, version 1.4.27* illustrations are amazing, the artists are crazy talented. it’s the perfect game to play when you feel like winding down for the day. there are occasional ads, it is nothing bothersome at all. i really recommend this to everyone ### 5/5 — 🤩 *2026-07-29, version 1.4.27* im obsessed with this game, all the artists are so talented !! ### 5/5 — one of my all time favs!!!^3^ *2026-07-06, version 1.4.27* first and most importantly, so super cute!! i usually have little to no patience for hidden object games, but this one is too cute to get bored of! all of the art/levels are adorable, and just the perfect amount of challenging but also relaxing as well. it also seems there’s a ton of levels, so i’m very happy about that too, always something to do! the music is cute, the sound effects are cute..so aesthetics are all there! another important point, form my experience, there’s very few ads, only about 1 per level! very positive!^_^ i’m terrible at giving reviews but…tldr; so cute, so fun, so relaxing, 10/10!!! love it and it keeps me busy for hours<3 ### 5/5 — I use before bed to non stimulating *2026-07-01, version 1.4.27* Better than doomscrolling on any app. This app helps your brain instead of letting apps control your brain. I’m able to notice emotions i didn’t know I had through this app because my day is so busy and night is my only way to escape. So this app definitely replaces my doomscrolling to help me ### 5/5 — Love game *2026-06-18, version 1.4.27* The game is very cute. The graphics are beautiful and the music is lovely. I wonder if the game will be updated with new maps because I've already played all of them. ### 5/5 — The best hidden object game I’ve found *2026-06-15, version 1.4.27* Truly the best! I love the different art styles throughout. 2 minor requests that would be super appreciated: I would love the option to zoom out further. Also, apple pencil moving/panning support. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-13, version 1.4.27* This is the best hidden object game I’ve ever played. Super relaxing, cute, and I love all of the different art styles! ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2026-05-14, version 1.4.27* Such a beautiful game ### 5/5 — Please Update Her!!!! *2026-04-21, version 1.4.27* I love Soupsoup something serious. I have played this game for at least 2 years and I miss it so much, update my baby please. I love the artists and developers<3333 ### 5/5 — So well drawn and detailed! *2026-04-19, version 1.4.27* Love the art style and aesthetic. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
