### 5/5 — This game is awesome

*2023-09-01*

So when I got my first ever apple giftcard this was the first game I bought. when I was younger I though it was so fun and entertaining, I miss the good days🥹

### 5/5 — Needs more development

*2023-04-22*

It’s a really good fun game, it would just be cool if they could add a storyline, and could play for certain roles and as different characters

### 3/5 — Wow

*2022-12-19, version 1.2.1*

I used to play this when I was 5 but unfortunately uninstalled it because of quite a few glitches…. The game was very fun but broken if your guys could come back that would be a blast for the past

### 4/5 — I played this when I was 4 years old

*2022-11-07, version 1.2.1*

This game I got a few weeks after the movie came out in 2015 the reason I rate it 4 stars is because there is one problem it glitches too many times it freezes

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2022-10-15, version 1.2.1*

This game has so many glitches I’m disappointed I spent money on it. As others have said it lags and half the time even if you made the right move it kills you. I like playing the game but it gets frustrating having to start over again and again.

### 3/5 — The game is good but issues

*2022-06-22, version 1.2.1*

This is a good game but if you could please make another update to fix the bugs and glitches like the little white bar and the item glitch and the voice glitch

### 1/5 — LAGGING!

*2022-05-09, version 1.2.1*

Too much lag even tho I am on the 13? Come on paramount this as good as you can do I see other ppl play it and no lag but when I try it’s like I got McDonald’s Wi-Fi 🗿

### 3/5 — Low frame rate

*2022-04-13, version 1.2.1*

I was really looking forward to playing this game after seeing it on TikTok but the frames are so bad. I have an IPhone 12 Pro Max, this game should be able to run better than 5 fps.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-03-19, version 1.2.1*

It’s a great SpongeBob game but it lags and I noticed it’s because you have to close your other tabs so it became fun when I stopped lagging

### 1/5 — My Review

*2021-12-13, version 1.2.1*

I Loved This Game When I Was Younger. But This Year When I Lately Downloaded It, There Was Seriously No Sound.
