### 4/5 — One of my favorites

*2026-08-01, version 1.25.0*

Please keep updating it there is so much you need to add don’t abandon one of my favorite games I have been playing for years.

### 4/5 — Good but ..

*2026-07-14, version 1.25.0*

Best simulator game to play but I think there should be less disease and you can pick traits and be able to start off rich or live your child’s life or even have sibling when you are in your childhood years. Perhaps let us move to other countries free because the default shouldn’t be USA or Canada. Maybe make money easier and diseases not pile up. (In the game) 
Other than that it’s a good game. Would recommend and from what I’ve seen actually has no ads!!!

### 2/5 — Dark mode

*2026-05-21, version 1.25.0*

Needs a dark mode, kinda pointless to have a job but have to still press work to gain income. Should be passive with an option to work overtime

### 3/5 — FIX THE LOANS

*2026-05-13, version 1.25.0*

whenever i take out a loan without taking all my money out of my bank i lose almost all of the money i previously had in the bank. Even if the loan is 250K and i have 4 Billion.

### 3/5 — Bitlife is much better!

*2026-04-23*

Most time & money goes to keep stats up. Not enjoyable

### 4/5 — Great but needs a few additions but development has stopped

*2026-04-02, version 1.25.0*

A few things I would like to change about it. I can’t really remember what they are at the time. My biggest problem is that development has completely stopped and I don’t think the developer is coming back anytime soon. I’ve beaten the game and it took me about a month to do so so download this as a quick and very fun thing to do after or during your day. There’s no ads you don’t have to pay for anything to continue and actually the only ads that there are a tiny little pop-up that says do you wanna double your income for the year and you can just say no.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2026-03-29, version 1.25.0*

It’s fun and all but the game most of the details are unrealistic but for a life simulator it’s fine

### 4/5 — Doesn't let me do next generation

*2026-03-02, version 1.25.0*

Hi! I'm in love with this game and play it everyday but the one thing that makes me mad is that I did next generation to go to one of the children's lives but it wouldn't let me do it again after that or today when I got to 10 million dollars. Is there a reason why or do I need sandbox to do that?

### 2/5 — Fun but laggy

*2026-02-13, version 1.25.0*

I love it but it kept freezing every time I’d touch a button

### 4/5 — Love this but

*2026-02-07, version 1.25.0*

I think you should stop elixir of youth if your engaged cause I’m engaged in this game and I got an elixir of youth now I’m 10 and the person I’m getting engaged to is 18

### 4/5 — Fun, but not the most realistic

*2026-02-07, version 1.25.0*

I was in college by 12 and fully employed in an office by 16 in this game. That has to be against child labor laws or something 🤣🤣

### 4/5 — Good but annoying

*2026-01-18, version 1.25.0*

REMOVE THE CANCER DISEASE ITS ANNOYING !!! can’t even enjoy the game properly because of it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — This is terrible

*2026-07-02, version 1.25.0*

When I get depressed inside the game, I die and that’s what I don’t like but if I’m depressed in real life, I don’t die

### 1/5 — Catch me in prison you nonce

*2026-06-16, version 1.25.0*

How am i gonna grind up to a 80 bil legacy and try to continue it as my child only cor the game to decide that my character would’ve wanted to give his money to his entire family, 80 bil to 6 catch me irl you yugoslavaian prick’s

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2026-05-03, version 1.25.0*

This is a unrealistic life simulation

### 1/5 — Hard to Play

*2026-03-31, version 1.25.0*

I wish there was a tutorial on each game modes. This game is hard to play and my people always end up depressed or bad health and pass.

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2026-02-28, version 1.25.0*

I had a life with almost 3 trillion net worth on it, IT TOOK ME HOURS TO MAKE, and so when i died purposely to go into the next generation, i clicked “revive” by accident and when i didn’t pay, instead of letting me choose to go to the next generation it just took me to my grave. I’m never wasting my time on a game like this again

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-02-09, version 1.25.0*

Pay to win, can’t even make it past 25 years old before dying the game is designed to make you pay

### 1/5 — Scary

*2026-01-17, version 1.25.0*

If I open the app and pull down in the corner of my screen it’s using my mic! Please do not download this app

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-01-10, version 1.25.0*

Bit life is way better. Do not get this game I pressed self treatment and it said overdosed every time😡😡

### 1/5 — Loans wipe out everything

*2026-01-02, version 1.25.0*

Great game expect that taking out a loan will wipe out billions for no apparent reason??? It seems like something is broken.

### 1/5 — Has potential but honestly just not worth your time

*2025-12-15, version 1.25.0*

The idea that I need to spend hundreds of dollars in game to maintain family relationships while also advancing time is just stupid.
Also, none of the costs displayed are consistent with the amounts leaving my account. The casino is a joke as well, blackjack is improperly structured

### 5/5 — Great game but PLEASE UPDATE MORE OFTEN!!!

*2026-08-24, version 1.25.0*

I genuinely love this game for quick little breaks but I wish there was more to do. If I had to update just a few things I'd definitely add more to side hustles and businesses, and maybe add a retirement/pension system. Please!!!

### 5/5 — Great game but a few suggestions

*2026-06-06, version 1.25.0*

this game is awesome but i think that there should be a will and you can write the stuff that it goes to people and it could be percentages or charity and stuff.

i think that they're should be more job options and more branches of jobs

### 5/5 — great game!

*2026-03-26, version 1.25.0*

amazing game, hacker free, micro transaction free, and fun filled! definitely recommend

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-03-21, version 1.25.0*

Had it a while back, got the “all inclusive” pack for free off their instagram on my old phone. Will buy the pack when I can!

### 5/5 — Update the game and how to become rich

*2026-03-12, version 1.25.0*

Very fun game however it’s been over a year without any updates many broken things.        

How to become rich
1.get a job
2 .buy recording equipment 
3.Grind videos
4.buy the 100 million dollar apartments and rent them out
5.buy business and grind money to upgrade
6.buy billion dollar apartments and rent them out 
7.grind business 
8.buy trillion dollar house and rent them out
9. Reach max busness level and you can then put as much money into it as you want

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2026-03-01, version 1.25.0*

An amazing game! I love it! 😻

### 5/5 — Life is too fast😞

*2026-02-24, version 1.25.0*

I love this game it is my favorite game of all time but whenever I tap on the “all nighter button” it makes up a whole month and I just get so old very fast. Also when I am older I run out of things to do so I get bored, when I restart a game I want to pick what age I want to be, plus when I am a kid I want my parent to love me and do doctors appointments in stuff. 


I love this game please don’t delete it

### 5/5 — This is so good !

*2026-02-20, version 1.25.0*

How do I buy a house?

### 5/5 — Such a good game!!!

*2026-02-18, version 1.25.0*

I love this game so much! It so much fun to play and I enjoy it no matter where I am! I never get bored of it!

### 5/5 — THIS IS SO FUN

*2025-12-28, version 1.25.0*

This is the exact game I was looking for! Everything is amazing about it and there are zero (except optional) ads! The only thing I’’d change is some of the things (like buying more coins) can be kind of expensive, and some things like divorce are very expensive. I paid 20 dollars for 50 million coins and lost half when I got divorced. Other wise, this is the best game I’ve had
