I do enjoy having it though as it is something that can teach people about life but it is also in a good game form. ### 4/5 — This game: *2025-12-26, version 3.0.8* I really enjoy this game, the only annoying things are the adds, how little money you make and also the fact that you have to buy a companion ### 2/5 — A mix of fun and awful 🩷😢 *2025-11-27, version 3.0.8* When I first got this game I was so excited, it’s very fun and interesting but as I played after a few days I got bored: number one, my health was forever going down and it’s hard to stay on top of it. Number 2, I had a job but in order to upgrade to another better job I needed high school courses which I already had but it wouldn’t give me the job, I tried again for a few more days and it wouldn’t let me and now I was on low money. Number 3 stuff is too expensive. And last of all I died suddenly at 24! My health was low but not that low and it gave me no reason. Fun but needing work. ☺️ ### 2/5 — Okay *2025-11-10, version 3.0.8* You are sexist you need to include girls choices too. ### 3/5 — Game *2025-11-01, version 3.0.8* This is a fun cute little game but honestly it is slow, you need to be patient enough with it. ### 4/5 — 😀 *2025-09-20, version 3.0.8* Just wish it had more information on what you are to do at first, the arrows are helpful but for the age range it would be better if it was more detailed. ### 4/5 — It’s OK… *2025-08-03, version 3.0.8* The game is good, but can be extremely frustrating sometimes. There are times when the happiness meter drops more than I can restore it in one month ( every month all meters drop down a certain amount). My avatar will be wanting better living quarters or a new car, and when I don’t have enough money to get it for him, he becomes very unhappy. The only way to make him not depressed is to spend the game money that I was trying to save up for the thing he wanted. The future market also glitches sometimes and will show that I don’t own properties when I bought them. The Education times are also absurd!! A game month takes about 30 seconds, and the education times are like, 36 months. Which means 18 minutes of just waiting and really doing nothing besides refilling the meters. That time is also a problem bc I have limited time on games, so 18 minutes is a lot of waiting just to advance in a game. This may not have ads, but the waiting times may as well be one. Also, once you choose to buy or pay for something in game, you cannot go back. So if you realize that the girlfriend or education you clicked on is too expensive for you at that moment, you cannot go back and end up going bankrupt. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-07-27, version 3.0.8* Amazing ### 5/5 — nchunkkk *2025-07-26, version 3.0.8* ok ### 4/5 — 할만은한대 동영상 안보먄 파산 당함ㅋㅋ *2025-07-26* 어쩔수없이 동영상보게됨 돈주니까.. **Developer response:** 귀하의 피드백에 감사드립니다. ### 5/5 — Hi *2025-07-24, version 3.0.8* Hi ### 5/5 — Slay *2025-07-21, version 3.0.8* Ate this up and I want coins ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ??? WTF *2026-05-27, version 3.0.8* So when I was deleting my stuff, I wanted to download some games but the thing is that when I downloaded this app, I play this but here is the stupidest this that I have every seen, I put a girl name like this one, “Maddie” but when I just started the game, I was a boy in this game. THIS GAME SHOUD BE ILLEGAL!!! 😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Not what I expected *2026-01-01, version 3.0.8* Sooo boring ### 1/5 — I don’t like this game at all😑😑😑😑😔😞😟🙂‍↔️🙁☹️😕😣😖😫😩🥺😢😭😤😠 *2025-10-04, version 3.0.8* This is really boring 🥱 ### 1/5 — Start over *2025-05-25, version 3.0.8* Liked the game initially but it makes me start over every time I close the app ### 1/5 — Eh *2025-03-22, version 3.0.7* Boring nothing special ### 1/5 — Very dull *2025-03-04, version 3.0.7* This game has minimal interaction and not the best visual user interface. You simply stare at the avatar and then select from a menu and update his life, but there is no movement or real challenge. I have played better life sim games, that actually require you to move between buildings (home, work, gym, shops) which have much better and more engaging interfaces than this. ### 1/5 — Coloquei em português por favor *2025-02-26, version 3.0.7* Ruim ### 1/5 — What’s the point? *2025-02-19, version 3.0.7* If I could give this game 0 stars I would. I really do not understand the fun in this game at all and am struggling with the concept of it… it is very boring and half of the time I am staring at the screen waiting for the time in the game to pass so I can increase job/pay and for what? To do the same thing over again. No thanks ### 1/5 — Gh *2025-01-03, version 3.0.7* Hhrhr ### 1/5 — Cool game *2024-11-24* Good **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-07-09, version 3.0.8* I love this game I deleted all my other games and this is the only game I have ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-05-27, version 3.0.8* So much fun most play ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-04-21, version 3.0.8* Just did this for the money don't read this ### 5/5 — 📦🖇 *2026-01-26, version 3.0.8* This is the best game that I have ever had it helps me of the future ### 5/5 — Play *2025-09-27, version 3.0.8* Love it ### 5/5 — TheLife *2025-09-22* Ótimo jogo **Developer response:** Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback. ### 5/5 — Best *2025-08-30, version 3.0.8* Loves this game and recommend ### 5/5 — Best game *2025-08-22, version 3.0.8* This is the best game ever and I would definitely recommend it ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-08-19, version 3.0.8* Shows how real life has us living now ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2025-08-12, version 3.0.8* I like playing games like this to see how far I can get, and this is a pretty good game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
