But I totally recommend it!😄 ### 4/5 — Good game. *2017-01-29, version 1.1.4* This is a good game. Not a great game, but a good game. ### 2/5 — Sharon0914 is right! *2016-11-24, version 1.1.4* She is right go play a night def game like the sims! It's original and the peeps die quick and they look nothing like the cover and icon when you log in! And when they try to make a baby THEY DANCE AND HUG UMM I just don't know what to say... ### 4/5 — Ok,but... *2016-09-30, version 1.1.4* Ok. So it's a good game and all, but how do you fix the cracks in the floor in the house? ### 2/5 — Boring *2016-06-28, version 1.1.4* It's not as fun as the 2nd Virtual Families. I ended up deleting it. ### 4/5 — ? *2016-04-03, version 1.1.4* how do they have kids i've been trying for last 5 minutes please answer me ### 1/5 — Sad *2016-02-27, version 1.1.4* So so so sad because people die. ### 4/5 — People are to slow... *2016-02-16, version 1.1.4* It's ok with everything I love this game! But one thing is bothering me you see, they walk to slow and it would be much better if you can double tap them to run. Kind regards mya xx ### 1/5 — Puh leez *2016-02-03, version 1.1.4* Oh gimme a break. The graphics make my little sister have NIGHTMARES that's how bad they are. If you want REAL fun play virtual families 2.😤 ### 1/5 — Love it *2016-01-27, version 1.1.4* I really like your game but there are only to reasons why I didn't give it the best review. One is because they characters age REALLY fast, two is because if you don't have he full version you can only have one child. Which isn't fair to those of us who can't buy games. I really wish I could have more then one child. But all in all I like your game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No. *2017-09-29, version 1.1.4* I don't really like this because there is nothing to buy in the shops and it takes forever to get a baby. Virtual families 2 is a million times better because you can build up your house and there a no pets to buy 😞 Disappointing. I might still keep it though because I want to see if it gets better ### 1/5 — Virtual family new generation advance *2017-08-04, version 1.1.4* I would love to move onto the next generation, my current one is horrendous, I have been considerate with the green praise hand, but really ready to hit them hard with the red. I seem to be having a problem with this version with inhouse emails saying one or the other parent have to go back to the beginning of there levels it's driving me spare, thinking of deleting as I can't seem to get them higher than level 4. ### 1/5 — Not worth time or $ *2017-07-09, version 1.1.4* No where as fun as the original and you have to pay! ### 1/5 — Why Are You Only Getting One Star? *2017-02-17, version 1.1.4* Why? Because I HAD V.Families the paid version and I went in today and it said it was GAME OVER! And I had to start all over again. My family GONE. Money all GONE. Food GONE. All of my furniture GONE. Everything GONE. And now I am totally back to square one WTG you horrid creators. How about some updates for all of my losses? ### 1/5 — Won't even let me play *2016-11-26, version 1.1.4* I've downloaded this app twice now, and both times I haven't been able to play it. I am afraid that this is due to the app simply not letting me press play or start over. It's not my iPad because I can do everything else on it. By all means try it, but most likely it's just a waste of storage. ### 1/5 — NOPE! HAVE TO READ WHY THIS GAME IS NOT GOOD!!! *2016-11-02, version 1.1.4* NOT A GAME YOU SHOULD PLAY! First It's VERY hard to find a wife/husband that actually you like and looks quiet good Second WHAT ARE THERE NAMES AT LEAST LET US NAME THEM! Third My people are always dead after a day!:( Fourth You find the special person ONLINE not face to face WHAT,IF I WOULD MEET SOMEONE THE IT WOULD BE FACE TO FACE NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!! Hope this helped!👍🏻 ### 1/5 — Get virtual families 2 instead *2016-10-29, version 1.1.4* VF is very boring and you have to pay money for the game to move on VF2 is way better because it's free (unless you wanna buy money packs) and the quality is much better on that game. Unlike VF in VF2 you have to build and decorate your rooms which is lots of fun because there is loads of stuff in the shop ### 1/5 — very bad *2016-08-02, version 1.1.4* I didn't even start the game but my problem is is that I can't click the freaking start button ughhh ### 1/5 — Why......... *2016-06-14, version 1.1.4* I have had this game forever.....but deleted it a while ago because of storage space. Tried to download it again today but there was a glitch when I tried to open...😥😢😢I would love to give a better rating but I can't until you get this problem fixed, because I can't play.......PLEASE FIX THIS, or I have to delete again....... ### 1/5 — Rubish *2016-03-07, version 1.1.4* I tapped on the game it took me to the title screen I pressed play and nothing happened I waited and still nothing happend it did not let me in the game so I had to delete it😿 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Odd names. *2021-04-07, version 1.1.4* The names are supper supper odd like in the picture it shows a person is called Carola but my people are called like Jet but his wife's name is good it is Bretta they're son Uole and his wife Primary they're son Glitch and his wife Fresse and their son Boeing I mean Boeing!! And also why do all my people have son's AND why are there no black people there like that's Really offensive to me. Anything other then that the app is great!! Btw I am only 10 Yes I right very beautiful ( I know that! ). ### 5/5 — Total addition *2017-10-22, version 1.1.4* Im totaly adicted to this game and i always leave the weeds in the yard snd when im bored I'll finnaly pick them and what is the fuller version pkease tell me. It also takes so long for a generation to pass i would be on my seventh but my sister accidentally deleted it ### 5/5 — Hi all *2017-07-30, version 1.1.4* How do you get the full version ### 5/5 — Amazing *2017-07-15, version 1.1.4* I love this game and I am so happy o found it and the only thing that kinda freaks me out is when they eat they turn their heads all the way around . But other than that I love this game and will play it everyday ! ### 5/5 — Great game but.. *2017-03-24, version 1.1.4* Ok so virtual families is a great game but how are you supposed to put out a fire? If you know the answer please respond to me aka LaLaWorld💎 ### 5/5 — Brock Alan Johnson *2017-01-17, version 1.1.4* Habit has returned from college to live in the family home following the recent death of his adoptive parents. He is an beginning level spammer. He has married Ribbons, an beginning level fairy tale writer. They're both 28 years old at the present time. I'm unsure if they're going to have kids of their own since he doesn't want to have kids while she thinks it'd be nice to have kids, but there is a chance they'll also later be adoptive parents. ### 5/5 — Store *2016-07-11, version 1.1.4* I downloaded the app and it is super fun! But my Store didn't download, what do I do! I want to get it, but I am on my eighth generation and have tons of coins. I was gong to but it said the game would reset if I redownload it. What do I do, please help! ### 5/5 — Pls add new stuff *2016-06-12, version 1.1.4* Whenever I play the free one, it's boring cause all u can do is make one child, buy food medicine and upgrades, but is that really it? U should add 2 - 5 home improvement things, and more. I'm just saying, it gets boring quickly! ### 5/5 — Idk what to say *2016-03-26, version 1.1.4* Idk what to say I think it is a grate game ### 5/5 — Here are some tips. And suggestions. *2015-09-22, version 1.1.4* Okay, so say you don't play with your Virtual Families for 2 days. Either you can make sure they have lots of food in the refrigerator while you are gone (you might need up to 1.5k-2k food) and make sure all of their bars are maintained. Meaning everything is at it's highest rate. Or, just pause your game and everything will stay the same. I prefer pausing the game because it is more safe especially if 1 of your children haven't went off to school, because if not, they will all die and you will lose. And I also choose this because illnesses can come and get worse, then start off "a bit sick" and if you leave them unattended while sick it can become worse. Also, my suggestions were to make it more realistic. For instance, when going to sleep, make then get under the covers or something. It's kind of boring seeing them lay on top of the bed, especially if they do the same when dying. And I have the fancy bed sheets so it would be kind of cute seeing them take off all of the fancy pillows and the getting under the covers. But that's all for now.
