A good but not best game

It’s a okay game unless you got real good luck and if you know how to get enough points and all that but it’s just not the best Lila they say.

App does not update

Try over and over as game demands update for play. I already have 2 prizes waiting and gems for play - but no access to the app. It just keeps throwing me back to update … and I update and it says update over and over again

Nope

Such a scam, I waited in a reserved queue for a figure(I was 3rd in line) and the person playing was NOT using the crane for a solid 2 minutes. The game did not switch the turn onto the player and the crane looked almost frozen, Until after 5 minutes I finally decided to leave the queue, only to click back on the figure not even 5 SECONDS LATER, and the prize was won(I checked the video it shows of the previous player winning the prize, and the position of the prize was NOT in the same position when I previously clicked off, it looked like the same crane game, but at a different time)

Updated review

It’s been a while since my last review, and this review needs to be updated again for the third time.

More players are leaving TokyoCatch because of the scammy tendencies this company loves. These machines are comparable to slot machines as the three-prong claws are set on a payout rate rather than actual skill. Two-prong claws are weak, I’m highly doubtful they can even pick up a pencil. And the prizes are presented in a way that makes them seem they are about to fall when in reality they are wedged in the bars with such a force by the employees that it would take 50$ plus to actually push the prize through with the weak claw.

Also, connectivity issues are still persistent. If you lose connection you face the possibility of losing the machine and being kicked to the back of the line while the “vultures” take your prize.

Yes, there is a community of people around this game that just sit in the app all day and only queue in line when they see someone actually spending money to get a prize. And if you don't give them the machine they claim you are a “whale” and complain how you should have given up the machine because they are the bigger fans of the franchise of the item therefore they deserve to have your prize. 🙄

If you want to play for free, you get a free ticket every day that expires in 24 hours. But, some prizes cost more than one free ticket to play. This company keeps walking backwards and I am expecting to hear of its shutdown soon with these awful practices and its toxic community.
