### 3/5 — 突然得到400多的牛奶食材，食材庫放不下，不能煮

*2024-02-13, version 1.15.7*

莫名其妙得到一堆牛奶又不能賣掉也不能得到食材更不能煮、這個遊戲就這樣結束了

### 5/5 — Anyone Can Cook!

*2024-01-25, version 1.15.7*

It’s always fun to see what recipes you pick up at each new rank, and as long as you’re diligent at completing requests and quizzes, you should never want for gems. Having decorations and outfits gift their passive bonuses even when not equipped is an innovation that more games honestly need.

If there’s anything that I can constructively criticize, it’s this: why don’t all of the special “Festivals” have full menus? Some have 50 dishes, others only 25, and one of them even less. Also, if you want some new themes, how about School, Film, Safari, Camp or Future Fests?

### 5/5 — Fun

### 1/5 — 초반에 좀 재밌었는데

삼일정도 했는데 광고 보려고 할 때마다 광고 안나와서 껐다 재시작해야하고 그러면 추가 카드뒤집기나 보너스같은 거 이미 날라간 상태. 짜증나서 지웁니다.

### 1/5 — Is this a bug

*2019-08-22, version 1.12.1*

I bought a package which include gems and I purchased pudding (dog). The effect says it doubles my winnings when I play the matching game. But I only get it rarely, like once every 5-6 games. Is it not 100% every time for every prize? I want my gems refunded if it’s not 100% for all my winnings.

Thursday Aug 22, 2019
Now I have another problem.. the game glitched/bug when I levelled up and gave me a lot of basic dairy ingredients. Now I can’t progress further in the game. Only way to be able to progress is buy more storage with gems, which means I have to pay for more. Please help me.

### 1/5 — 成就問題

*2019-08-14, version 1.12.1*

夏日海洋慶典的菜式，目前已烹煮了49個。但成就中的「夏日海洋慶典收藏家」的成就，依然顯示為0/50...可以修理這個bug嗎？擔心成就達成也沒獎勵...

### 1/5 — 花錢買鑽石去買燒烤爐，結果被吃錢

*2019-07-26, version 1.12.1*

如題，我課金買了金色的燒烤爐，可是等我要用的時候卻發現沒有購買成功，但是鑽石已經被扣掉120個了，請問這是怎麼回事？

### 1/5 — Not even worth your time

*2019-06-14, version 1.10.1*

The game starts off pretty well. The art style is cute, the gameplay is simple and the minigames are pretty alright. But once I got to the higher levels I realized what this game was. You have to use certain reagents, put them in a pot and then just cross your fingers and hope that RNG is on your side or else you just make the same dish 5 times in a row and the only way you can get more reagents is by winning the RNG minigame in the shop or buy it at a ridiculous price. It doesn’t help that money is hard to come by and when all else fails you’ll be pushed to make purchases with real money. Nothing really feels rewarding, ever. I’ve had more fun with Flash games on the computer with 0 microtransactions.

### 1/5 — 一直看廣告

*2019-01-06, version 1.5.0*

遊玩時間大部分都是要看廣告

### 1/5 — Missing features

*2019-01-03, version 1.5.0*
