And I have a suggestion in the toca baca world game why not make the app cost money like 30$ or less and then everything in the game is open because if the game cost money people will expect everything to be free inside so they will definitely buy it but when they see on the App Store the game is free so they will think they won’t have to pay for anything so they get it but they only have 9 locations which is disappointing because if there a poor family they can’t buy some of the locations so I think you should make the game cost money and make everything in it free because that would better than spectacular. If you have to make the game cost 50$ just please make everything free in the toca baca world because me and my sister are dying to get it and we don’t want to have to pay for everything that’s locked in the we would rather pay 50$ for the entire game then get the game free and have to buy the rest o& the locations in the game. From your biggest toca baca fan ### 4/5 — It's amazing. But... *2019-06-01, version 1.5.1* So I was so excited to play this app when I bought it. I still love it. But when I went to the reviews for fun, I saw that Toca World has ALL the locations for FREE, plus one. This disappointed me, because I bought this app with some of my Christmas money, and I basically wasted it. I can't figure out how to contact Toca or I would, so I can get a refund, because in another review I saw it says that deleting the app for a refund does not work. If the developers contact me (or my mom) about the refund, I will most likely just get the hospital toca, so no need to worry about me spending my money on another company (other than animal jam). Please help! PS my family still loves ur games keep making more!! I love the mansion, wedding and fantasy ideas. I even have some ideas of my own. -toca tech: would have arcade, electronic store, a tech based apartment, and a movie making studio (secret could be robot) -toca woods: would have a scenic waterfall trail kinda like in the stables game, a camp site, a wood, and secret could be a dragon sloth -toca pirates: would have all pirate based characters, a ship, a beach, a tropical jungle, and a house boat. The secret could be a chest full of gems, a sloth mermaid, or a pirate shark ### 5/5 — I have a toca life idea *2018-09-22, version 1.5.1* The name is toca life:world So I was thinking about all the world and how I wish they could connect but I know so many people have sent you reviews about that so I’m sending you my toca LIFE app idea it’s called toca life:world!!! There’s a houses you can pick one to be yours then each one comes with one room for parents a bunk bed room for kids a teen or grama bed room and a baby room/baby bed room and a kitchen were you can cook your food and a living room every house thas a different look but they all have those rooms and now the jumbo mall there’s a clothing store with so much clothes and then there’s a salon and spa were you can do your hair and pick your emotions, skin color, you can pick there face, and you can pick ther age and to keep people entertained they get older every 3 days and you can make them baby’s again at the spa/salon there’s also a school it’s smaller than the real school toca life but it’s good enough there’s a baby store and a restaurant we’re you can eat and there’s a drive through I’ll get to the car stuff later there’s a play ground too for kids and don’t forget the Shipley’s donuts restaurant for breakfast and actually get mail in the post office that’s even better than the one in toca city and did I mention you have a job it’s either artist or a bakery or other jobs you can come up with mabey a bisness man and last there’s a place called the road you create your self a car and you can use it on the road bye ### 5/5 — Huge Toca Fan! Thinking of buying, read this! *2018-09-16* This is the review part of my review. Parents or whoever is buying this I’d recommended reading. So, this is game Toca City. It’s a series of Toca life games. I would say start of with this game. If your kid is 2-4, Try out Toca town first it’s easier. This game is full of fun action and actives that you can do or play with. You can make own person, make a family, or best of all make a story! There is a play where your kids have their people make a play, a small house where they can live, oh yeah we all the balcony where you can throw your stuff off of. There is a hair dresser, and tailor a mall with pets. It’s really amazing. So I hoped this helped to see if you want the game or not, it’s truly cute and wonderful it really spark imagination. :D My part. Ideas. This are really not for anybody but the devs and others who want to share them. I LOVE THE NEWS ABOUT TOCA WORLD! I have been dying to have this. Not just connect the worlds in this update can we have new homes and some disabled people? I’d like a huge home to added for my bed families, and maybe add some new Toca people. I really would like so more cute houses. Now, back to my ideas. I would say after Toca world. Toca neighborhood! There would be many houses apartments, and a zoo or you could just add these to the Toca world. I’m sure no dev’s red this but atleast I got to work on my typing skills. ### 5/5 — [SUGGESTIONS] Love this game! *2018-03-30* Before I start to give suggestions I would just like to say that this game is amazing and probably my favorite Toca Boca game so far, but there is still more that this game could have. My first suggestion is to add more than one apartment. There should be a hallway with the doors that lead to all the other apartments. Another suggestion I have is to add streets. This could also be another way to enter buildings. Along with streets you could have new characters, stray animals, and maybe movable cars. My last suggestion is a spa. This doesn’t have to go in Toca city, but it would be a nice addition to the city. In the spa people and pets could relax after their long busy day in the city. Here you would be able to change your characters facial features. Now my last suggestion may not be possible, but I’ll share my idea anyway. I would call this one Toca World. It would be a way to take your characters from let’s say the city, all the way to the school. Anyway those are all my suggestions. Thanks for reading my suggestions. I hope some of my ideas make it in. This game is great! ### 5/5 — Love it! But..... and ideas! Of new games! *2018-03-24* Wassup TB! Yeah it’s DJ Fluffy paws 🐾 i love this game but remember when you tried to find stuff for the mail place? I want it back!!! Because it’s super fun! And i wish the clues for it were much easier so that’s really all i wanted to say and remember all of the um like tb funeral and wedding PLEASE add it for a new game and maybe the zoo one be that looked like a good One and i have another game of tb in my mind drum roll please!!!......... TOCA BOCA SUPERHEROES! Like it has the characters like the flash Batman Superman Wonder Woman and the joker and other things like that and it also gave me an idea......... toca life: funeral i wanted to put ONE MORE thing in it i want heaven to be in it like where we’ll meet God and Jesus. Ok and back to the game i was also wondering about the other game that was on my mind and hv 1 more thing for the wedding one like the dance place where they dance and u know. Ok i was also thinking..... toca life: ............... don’t remember right now... oh yeah! Now i do! Toca life: high school - prom! Slash prom good? Ok I’m not doing my song this time see y’all dawg! Drop the mike! Oh wait! And maybe Toca Super Bowl! ### 5/5 — I love your games! *2018-03-20* I totally love all your Toca life games, and I am super excited for Toca Life after school!!!! I can't wait to play it but city is still my favorite. If you could make more costumes in the theater area that would be AMAZING because I myself am I drama child and that's like the best part of the game for me and if you could make that area better that would mean the WORLD to me!!!!!!! Thanks for reading this if you even do and I know you probably won't. I also know how hard these games are to make and you probably aren't making updates for this anymore but I wanted to get this down on paper (or I guess screen) what I think should be in your game. I think another game that would be cool that I saw in another review was like a HollyWood themed Toca game. I think that this is a great idea and you should look into it. It takes place in HollyWood duh and it has a jewelry store and a film studio and a red carpet and a house and finally a dress shop. THANKS!!!!! I just want to say one more time that I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Just a Little Ranting, sorry, luv you toca! *2018-03-11* Dear Toca Boca, 1) I read a lot of your comments and approve of most of your games. They are educational and improve all senses for creativity. I saw that you ,”...read every one of your comments...”, and find that slightly baloney. Do you really? Like, really? 🤔Eh, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. 2) I find it really aggravating that there is a lack of houses in your games. Usually there will be only one or two houses, and they are really small. Can you make a house with, like, an elevator or something that can take you to different rooms. Maybe you did and I don’t know, but I would like to assess a free game like that. Also can you work on baby clothes? Maybe add more hangers in your closets. I would like it if you could customize it a tiny bit more; make makeup, customize clothes with maybe allowing us choose color... AND MABEY A NEW CHARACTER WITH FACIAL HAIR! YOU HEAR ME! THERE IS ONLY ONE CHARACTER WITH FACIAL HAIR, TOCA! Sorry, just would like it with mabey more hair options... I will Right another request soon, but it’s really tense right now... 💜Cheesecake Child, 12 year’s old. ### 5/5 — Awesome and new game idea *2018-03-06* Ok, so can I just start off by saying that all of your games are amazing! Well the ones I have anyways, but I know from the ones I have currently that all of them are great! And about the new game idea, I think you should make one called Toca life: Cruise. Where there will be a total of 7 different areas. Like, a house, a boarding place where you board the ship, and on the ship will be rooms (at least 2 rooms), a place to eat, a pool, and a little place where you can slide off the ship and into the ocean and at the end of the cruise there will be (this is optional) another little island. Yes i do know that most cruises don’t go some where else but it would be cool. Oh and the secret is up to you! I like surprises. Plus can you add the thing when the food mixes into different foods like on toca life office?Because I think that it’s really cool! Well that’s all I have to say! Hope you liked reading! And I’m sorry if this was long, I just wanted to tell you before I forgot 😁. Oh and one last thing, can you add a mascot that you can dress up your character as? Sincerely, a Toca life fan. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Love it but add something like... *2017-12-23* I love toca boca I have all of the pack that this comes in but I rlly like my charter from toca:pets so I think you should create toca: travel which you would have your own town with charters you design and you can travel to other apps if you have them here is the story a man created a town but wanted to go on vacation so he went but then got hurt by a crab and went to a hospital then decided he wanted a pet then went to a pet store in the city then one in another town then moved to another town. I also suggest a toca: myth so you can be a god(ess) or a dragon or a centaur or a giant etc. or humans which you could be a Viking or a Native American or a peasant or royalty in England and there is diffrent worlds for that so plz creator create those I know their highly recommended so plz read the comments I love toca boca apps so plz or maybe a toca world where you could go to diffrent countries and try diffrent things like in China you can visit the Great Wall so plz add those apps for free 🦄🐇🐉🐲🦉🕊🌈🇺🇸🏹💻🌃🌠🌠🎑🏞🌅🌇🌇🌄🌁🌆 ## Frequently asked questions about Toca Life ### What is Toca Life: City?
