### 4/5 — There is no audio

*2026-09-07, version 0.1.5*

There is no audio

### 2/5 — Kinda boring

*2026-04-07, version 0.1.5*

It was slow and not that fun

### 4/5 — Vacation 🚗

*2026-02-28, version 0.1.5*

I really enjoy 😊 The Game of Life: Vacations I just wish there were more locations you could vacation at rather than the same island 🏝️ but other than that it’s a fun little game

### 4/5 — Wirkt unfertig…

*2026-02-24*

Nach 6 Jahren des Hoffen … leider kommt nichts Neues mehr. 
GoL Road Trip ist süß gemacht, statt Geld gibt es Punkte für Erlebnisse, Postkarten, Fotos und Souvenirs. Kleine Filmeinlagen lockern das Spiel auf.
Ich habe aber das Gefühl, dass da noch andere Reiseziele neben der Vulkan-Insel geplant und dann nicht mehr verwirklicht worden sind.

Immer nur diese einen Ort zu spielen hat einen recht geringen Wiederspielwert.

Ich hatte ja gehofft, dass da noch Nachschub käme, aber nein. Dann kam GoL2. Zwar mit vielen Orten/Karten, aber immer dem gleichen Spielbrett… auch nicht viel Besser. 

Road Trip spielen wir dann halt nur ein bis zwei mal im Jahr. Hätte Potential gehabt.

### 2/5 — Lonely

*2026-02-22, version 0.1.5*

There are not any other players it seems

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2025-12-11, version 0.1.5*

I’ve played the original game of life and love the game however the road trip edition is disappointing. My spins won’t register in the game so no way to progress to the game, I hope this is just a bug and it will be fixed soon.

### 3/5 — Fun game but difficult to spin

*2025-11-04, version 0.1.5*

Like this game though get fed up as it’s difficult to spin on this game. I remember why i deleted it now

### 4/5 — Vacation 🚗

*2025-10-24, version 0.1.5*

It’s a great game but I think if there were more places to vacation rather than the same island over again it’d be better

### 3/5 — Great Game! But..

*2025-06-03, version 0.1.5*

I LOVED playing the game. Great graphics. But once you collect all of the items for your scrapbook, that is it.. are there going to be any new chapters? Kind of boring after the scrapbook is done. If there were other destinations, I would give it full five star review!

### 2/5 — Add time to down load

*2024-11-30, version 0.1.5*

It takes way too long to download. It gets going longer every five seconds until it reaches like two hours when I was before like 13 minutes. But other than that, the game is pretty accurate.

### 3/5 — When you’re playing online, they’re actually computers

*2024-11-05, version 0.1.5*

Oh, I read this three because it’s very laggy

### 2/5 — One major problem

*2024-06-24, version 0.1.5*

Game is fun to play with the kids I nanny for however I can’t give it more then 2 stars because it’s ridiculously difficult to spin the wheel please fix that and I’ll change my rating

### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2024-05-07, version 0.1.5*

New update: I wish we had different trips to take, this game gets very boring fast!

The game is fun, however the spinner is very hard to spin. We need a bit more challenges like different locations, different prizes to collect. It is an okay game but not much fun when you have collected all the prizes.

### 2/5 — The game is so cute but

*2024-04-01, version 0.1.5*

The spinner makes it very difficult to actually play. It takes 4 or 5 tries to get a spin to read successfully. We’re literally paying for this app, the least you could do is make it user friendly.

### 4/5 — FB Connect and New destinations

*2024-02-04, version 0.1.5*

I enjoy playing this game but it doesn’t connect to Facebook and so I have to start all over again without my progress on my iPad. The spinner is not the easier to spin.  Also I read in the description that more destinations were coming but I don’t see any. Please update with new stuff! I also bought the Game of Life 2 Deluxe Bundle on my Switch last night. I am a fan. Please don’t let us down!

### 2/5 — Preis Leistung schlecht

*2023-12-26*

Das Spiel funktioniert zwar, ist aber im Vergleich zu den anderen beiden Versionen wirklich schlecht. Ich ärgere mich, dass ich 1,99 € dafür ausgegeben habe. Es gibt keine Besonderheiten im Vergleich zu den anderen spielen und wir waren innerhalb von nicht mal 7 Minuten mit dem Spiel komplett durch.. ich hatte mir definitiv mehr erwartet, mindestens eine doppelt so lange Strecke. Da gibt es viele kostenlose Spiele, die wesentlich besser sind.

### 1/5 — Horrible want a refund

*2025-09-24, version 0.1.5*

Keeps freezing

### 1/5 — No road trips here

*2025-09-23, version 0.1.5*

The spinner isn’t working at all.

### 1/5 — Online with Friends Not Even Working

*2025-02-04, version 0.1.5*

My family tried to start a game 4 times and every time we got stuck on a frozen screen at some point before the game even started. It wouldn’t even launch. Really disappointing.

### 1/5 — Подобие игры

*2025-01-03*

Не интересно. не классическая игра в жизнь. Мало того, что платно, на Английском, так еще и совершенно бесполезная игра. Ужас.

### 1/5 — Won’t spin

*2023-07-07, version 0.1.5*

Tried to spin the wheel and it straight up doesn’t work. Closed and opened the app again and still it won’t spin. Waste of money bugged out p.o.s

### 1/5 — Do not buy!

*2023-06-22, version 0.1.5*

Do yourself a favour and don’t buy this game! The developers have released a game where the main action the player needs to do (spin the wheel) has a huge bug so that most times it won’t spin properly, thus you as a player will end up having to try 8 or 9 times on each go just to get a pathetic spin which is enough to move you. It’s very frustrating! Stick to the normal game of life games which the developer seems to have done properly

### 1/5 — Eh

*2023-06-17, version 0.1.5*

Not worth $1.99

### 1/5 — Screen Frozen

*2021-12-09, version 0.1.4*

We got screen frozen in the middle of the game and it kept happening for every single time.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2021-08-10, version 0.1.4*

I’ve played GOL and GOL2 a ton and love both games. This one is super glitchy, it takes 2-7 attempts of spinning the wheel for it to register, and it’s crazy slow game play.

### 1/5 — Ummm...?

*2021-03-12, version 0.1.4*

Why did I spend money on this game just to spin within the 2-4 range continuously? Save your money.
