Porém os anúncios imensos tanto ao finalizar uma fase qnto ao iniciar outra são mto cansativos além de intereferir qndo se ganha tempo de jogo pois o mesmo tempo continua correndo normalmente durante os anúncios q como eu disse, mtas vezes são grandes. Sei q necessitam dos anúncios para q o jogo continue fluindo, porém poderiam ao menos pausar o tempo ganho no jogo enqnto estiverem ocorrendo ou pelo menos diminuir um pouco na quantidade. **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback! A equipe tem buscado um equilíbrio entre a publicidade e uma boa experiência de jogo, e otimizará isso no futuro. Se você não quiser ver os anúncios, pode desativá-los durante o jogo ou adquirir o serviço sem anúncios. Esperamos que você continue nos apoiando. Tenha um bom dia! :) ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-01-28* I’ve been playing this game over the past few months and so far I’ve enjoyed it. Although now it won’t update where I can play the new Valentine’s Day and Babushka. Kinda sad about it **Developer response:** Hello chef, the new version is available. Please update to the newest version to get Valentine’s Day and Babushka, have fun! ### 4/5 — Too many ads, spoils the fun *2026-01-26* Why won’t my review post? It’s been 2 days. 🤷‍♀️ I’ll change the stars and see if that helps. It was fun, for awhile. Too many ads. Far too many ads. I did figure out I could avoid some of them by simply exiting and re-entering the game after each level. Crazy. I play games to relax and have fun. Wanting to say bad words every minute and a half when ANOTHER ad plays is not relaxing. I deleted and don’t recommend unless you enjoy ads or have unending patience. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The team has been looking for a balance between advertising and a good gaming experience, and will optimize in the future. If you don’t want to see the ads, you can turn off the ads while it’s playing or purchase the no-ad service. Hope you continue to support us. Have a good day:) ### 4/5 — lose the process *2025-09-30, version 1.075.5051* i logged in the game by fb in 2/2/2025 and now i got new phone and logged back but my process is gone and i have to play all over again ### 2/5 — CMがウザイ *2025-05-31* １回１回広告ウザすぎる **Developer response:** フィードバックありがとうございます！開発チームは広告とゲーム体験のバランスを常に模索しており、今後も最適化に取り組んでいきます。広告を見たくない場合は、プレイ中に広告をオフにするか、広告なしサービスをご購入ください。引き続きご支援を賜りますようお願い申し上げます。良い一日を:) ### 3/5 — Cooking *2025-05-23, version 1.066.5051* Really good game you will love it ### 2/5 — Hello *2025-03-13* Here’s something that you could change about the game. Just let the players play the game if we need help we ask for help. Do you want your players to play your game? You are not letting your players pick the upgrades that they want in the game you’re not point-blank you are not you are doing it for us. You were telling us what we have. That takes away from the fun of playing the game, so would you please back off stop telling pick and not pick because you’re gonna lose players. It is not fun. The player who plays your game is allowed to pick the not you point blank,NOT AT ALL YOU and let me tell you that is what’s happening. You guys are picking up grades you guys are playing for us and we’re not able to do anything. So what’s the point of playing your game if you’d play the game for us and do everything think about that think about it what’s the point? **Developer response:** Hello Chef, Tasty Diary is a level-based time management cooking game. Players can pass levels to win coins and use the coins to upgrade kitchenware and ingredients to improve cooking efficiency and earn more coins faster. I hope this can help solve some of your doubts. If you have encountered any issues in the game, please specify them in detail. You may contact us in the game to provide relevant screenshots. We will do our best to help you, have fun! ### 4/5 — 로딩문제 *2025-02-22* 최근 업그레이드 이후 스타트 로딩이 잘 되질 않아요.. ㅠㅠ **Developer response:** 안녕하세요 셰프님, 당신이 겪은 일에 대해 매우 죄송합니다. 게임에서 문의하기 버튼을 눌러서 오류를 지정하거나 이 오류에 대한 스크린샷이나 비디오를 보내주시겠습니까? 최선을 다해 도와드리겠습니다. 지원해주셔서 감사합니다! ### 3/5 — Good game…but *2024-09-12* I’m liking the game so far (graphics, sound & game play), but I don’t need to see an ad after every…single…round. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The team has been looking for a balance between advertising and a good gaming experience, and will optimize in the future. If you don’t want to see the ads, you can turn off the ads while it’s playing or purchase the no-ad service. Hope you continue to support us. Have a good day:) ### 3/5 — Avis *2024-07-09* C’est trop rapide ### 5/5 — the best story *2024-06-14, version 1.036.5051* i love games and the best one is this one ### 2/5 — Not great *2024-06-05* Not really good game and too much add and you only use diamond to add customer or time I don’t really like it that much **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The team has been looking for a balance between advertising and a good gaming experience, and will optimize in the future. If you don’t want to see the ads, you can turn off the ads while it’s playing or purchase the no-ad service. As for adding customer or time, levels provides a specific amount of customer and time range. Though some levels might be difficult, they can all be passed without using boosts. If you‘ve been stuck at the same level lots of times, maybe using a boost would be a good choice~ I hope this could help solve your doubt. Have fun! ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-06-01, version 1.036.5051* Fun ### 2/5 — 広告が多すぎる *2024-05-03* ステージを、１つクリアするたびに広告が流れてきて、鬱陶しいです。 ゲームは面白いですが広告のせいでやる気が失せます。 **Developer response:** ご意見ありがとうございます！ チームは広告と優れたゲーム体験のバランスを模索しており、将来的には最適化する予定です。 広告を見たくない場合は、再生中に広告をオフにするか、広告なしサービスを購入できます。 これからも私たちを応援していただければ幸いです。 良い一日を：） ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-07-02, version 1.088.5051* After every level played an ad pops up. Waste of time ### 1/5 — It WAS Fun *2025-05-07* A really fun game until the 180s, when the levels require power ups or ads to even get close to winning, then diamonds to finish out the level. Impossible to simply PLAY. I was all set to rate it 5 stars until it turned into a blatant cash grab. Don’t bother downloading. There are better options out there. **Developer response:** Dear chef, thanks for your support. The game is designed to be fun and challenging enough. Though some levels might be difficult, they can all be passed without using boosts. If you‘ve been stuck at the same level lots of times, maybe using a boost would be a good choice~ Have fun. ### 1/5 — 광고좀... *2024-05-05* 아니 2번째 레스토랑부터 한판하고 광고나오는건 좀 아니지 않나요; **Developer response:** 친애하는 셰프님, 광고 판매는 무료 게임의 주요 수익원이며, 이를 통해 우리는 게임을 계속 개발하고 개선할 수 있습니다. 우리는 광고와 게임 경험의 균형을 매우 신중하게 조정합니다. 그리고 아주 저렴한 가격으로 광고를 제거할 수 있습니다 :) 고객님의 양해 부탁드립니다. ### 1/5 — Problem *2024-03-09* 1- can’t claim cupcake anywhere 2- every level is timed - too many times levels 3- double price ad only appear once not every level 3- no diamonds giving each level usually each level other games give u one diamond each 4- no other activities to win money or diamonds **Developer response:** Hi chef, thank you very much for your feedback. For the ads, as a free game, advertising is one of the most important revenues for us, we balance gaming experience and advertising carefully. If you are bothered by the ads, you might consider spending little money purchasing the No Ads to remove the pop-up ads. For the cupcakes, currently, we don't provide free cupcakes in the game, you might watch videos to get free diamonds and use diamonds to redeem cupcakes. For the broccoli cutting board, our developer team is inspecting the issue. Please stay tuned~ ### 1/5 — Food is missing *2024-02-06* My goose isn’t available in the sea food restaurant but people keep ordering lobster with the goose can’t play without losing fix this I really liked the game I erased it and redownloaded thinking it might fix it only thing it did was put me back at very beginning I deleted don’t download you will waste your time **Developer response:** Hi chef, we are very sorry for this issue. Please update the game to the newest version V1.09.5051 to fix the problem. Have fun! ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2024-02-06, version 1.028.5051* Level 51 is asking for broccoli with lobster. The plates are there but no broccoli on it. ### 1/5 — Don’t get this game *2024-01-07, version 1.026.5051* Upgrades to go thru and hinders game play and the developers don’t respond when you message them about a problem! Big fat thumbs down! DEVELOPERS NO NEED TO RESPOND NOW! ### 1/5 — where did the game that came before go? *2023-09-23* There was a different design, not the same as everyone else. I went through most of the locations and now it’s all over again? Why is there no save progress? I'm deleting the game... **Developer response:** Hello Chef, to provide players with a better gaming experience, we have redesigned the game to make it easier to play. To compensate our old players, we provide some boosts and diamonds in the game. You should have received it the moment you log into the game. Please try more. We will provide more and more new restaurants and more new gameplay and features in the future. Please give us a chance to experience more of our games. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Too pushy *2023-07-16* This game is impossible to play without making in app purchases. You can’t win if you won’t spend real money and the ads take way too long. I payed to have ads removed and they still did not stop ### 1/5 — Never gives rewards *2022-10-31* Love the game but why every single time I watch a video to the end and it size o prize granted. It NEVER gives me my rewards or extra seconds. It really gives a bad name to the game **Developer response:** Hi chef, we are very sorry for what you encountered. It might be the problem of some specific ads. Could you please contact us in the game, and sending us a video of you trying watching a video to receive the rewards? It will help us a lot to solve the problem. Look forward to your reply. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever!!!! *2026-07-14* I have never had a cooking game that is so fair, not a single add if you press “don’t track” in the very beginning! It is very lovely and everything is very cheap at first because you are beginning but later in the game gets more expensive. I do not mind honestly because of how much I love this game! I play it every day and you get a lot of prizes!! They won’t charge you real money and this game keeps going on and on! It is like you will never run out of restaurants and when you do, you will move on to many different worlds (countries)!! ❤️❤️I recommend this game a million out of a hundred! You will have so much fun, I promise!!! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-04-11* I normally don’t like to cook but this game makes it seem more fun to work at a restaurant. I want to play this all day there is burgers, cafe, seafood. Then you can do Japan, Italy ,Beijing , Mexico, America, and so much more. There is so much food you can make and so much exiting things to do so I suggest you get this game. #loveit! ### 5/5 — Love It! *2026-03-09* I absolutely love Tasty Diary! I honestly don’t know how I missed this game before. I’m a huge fan of cooking games, but I took a break from them for a while because so many became overly money hungry, difficult to upgrade in, and eventually just boring. This game feels completely different. The characters feel original and full of personality, and you can really tell the developers are passionate about cooking games. Even though the art style is cartoony, the food actually looks delicious, which I really appreciate. In a lot of cooking games with cartoon graphics, the food looks bland or the visuals feel outdated but that definitely isn’t the case here. Everything feels vibrant, polished, and fun to look at. I also love the events you can join for extra rewards. It gives you something new to work toward and keeps the game exciting. Another big plus is that upgrading doesn’t feel ridiculously expensive like in many other cooking games. You can genuinely enjoy and progress through the game without spending money. I also don’t mind the ads at all, the only time they come up for me is to get double rewards which I love. But I’m considering buying the ad free version just to support the developers because they’ve created such a fun and well designed game. Also you don’t have to wait or pay for fast upgrades they’re instant after you pay, the way it should be <3 ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-12-21* I normally don’t like to cook but this game makes it seem more fun to work at a restaurant.
