### 1/5 — Bad bad game😠😠😠

*2013-11-10*

This game stinks! It was terrible. I kept losing my coins because it wasn't working right.

### 1/5 — Doesnt seem to work--all ads

*2013-08-18*

I get the feeling that the author just wanted to stuff as many ads as possible into this ap.  They pop up and are tricky to close whenever you open or close the game. Many of the items you click on bring up a page asking you to pay real money for virtual coins. And the entire row at the bottom of the page --which is easy to accidentally click on--takes you to Facebook, where you can advertise for the game. Also, I couldn't figure out how to get it to work. On level 1, you have non-matching animals and a hint that tells you to move "an" card--but nothing on the screen seems moveable

### 3/5 — Fun

*2013-06-16*

Good commuting game.

### 1/5 — Yuck

*2013-06-16*

Trash doesn't empty after an hour. Not very fun. :(

### 2/5 — Ok...

*2013-06-12*

I like the game, but it is a little glitchy. Plus, you run out of coins too fast

### 2/5 — Mediocre

*2013-05-27*

The game is fun for the educational matching, sharing, etc. but it closes down constantly, and unless you want to spend money, you have to watch a ton of commercials: both for app and tv shows.

### 1/5 — Errgg!

*2013-04-14*

When I get to level three it doesn't let me do anything...I don't have enough money to clean out my basket...and the basket isn't clearing out after an hour!!! Don't download this game it is a waist of memory -_-

### 5/5 — Game

*2013-02-27*

Fun game to pass time

### 2/5 — Cute and fun...but...

*2013-02-25*

Cute and fun but froze on level 3. Can't seem to get past it.

### 2/5 — Fun but froze

*2013-02-17*

Fun game but the app keeps freezing once I get to the third level. I even deleted and reinstalled the app
