Maybe there could be a mini game or something added in game to collect more coins and such? Maybe also a way to change up your witch character. Other than that the game is fun and I plan to keep playing. ### 5/5 — Very fun! *2024-10-07, version 6.5* Very addicting and fun! ### 4/5 — Very cute! *2024-09-08, version 6.5* I’m really enjoying this game. It’s really simple, but still detailed with an adorable vibe to it. I just wish the witch could walk a bit faster lol ### 5/5 — So cute and simple *2024-08-18, version 6.5* Time waster game but its addictive running from room to room! I don't understand how mixing potions works, i think it try's to make the best one and then goes down the list but I'm not sure. Been playing it while I watch videos. Ads are for x2 or potion refill, if you dont want ads just wait 2 mins for refill and just collect ingredients! Or just buy no adds and support devs cause this game is cute and has no pop ups as of now :D ### 4/5 — Cute! *2024-07-17, version 5.8* I love this game it's so cute!! I wish there were more features though... Like costumizing the witch, catalogue with prices, costumers with names, offline revenue, mini-games or something... Furthermore, the game starts off quickly, but the price increases steeply so it becomes quite long to get upgrades. ### 4/5 — LOVE *2024-07-12, version 5.8* This is by far one of my favorite games right now, and a top competitor for all-time. I would give 5 stars if it meant being able to customize your witch (hair color, eyes, gender, clothes). ### 5/5 — Fun game but progression confused me *2024-07-10* Love the game, bought the support packs… but the upgraded bottles coming before the pounding table confused me. I was upset to be accumulating the ingredients without any way to make the higher level potions. Eventually I see the pounding table upgrade. But I had thought I was soft locked ### 5/5 — Cannot recommend enough *2024-07-03* I have been looking for a game that was fun, distracting, that I could kill a lot of time on, but that wasn’t overly stimulating or flashy. This game is cute, understated, and is so much fun to lose yourself with. Ads are not intrusive whatsoever, they just offer a boost to gold coins if you choose. I immediately bought ad free to support it because it’s not too expensive, and there are also two paid options for a little automation that are not necessary but together they’re only $3 so I got them too to support the devs and make the game a little quicker. It really feels like a game a lot of love went into; 5/5 definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-06-11* Very fun and enjoyable. I’ve recently been going on this app every day super fun, but I wish when I was off-line there was something I could come back to like a little bit of time would pass or something. It wouldn’t just stop where I left off. ### 4/5 — Really cute and simple! *2024-06-08* I literally downloaded this game last night, it might be one of my favorite yet. Everything is simple and easy. If you like games that don’t include mini games, or a bunch of extra pop ups, this is for you. It’s simply the game itself, and the ads are minimal. It’s creepy, cute, and easy for your brain! So far, the only suggestion i have is maybe to be able to customize your witch into different outfits/hair color. keep it up! :) ### 4/5 — Witch Makes Potions *2024-05-24, version 5.5* I really like the concept of this game but it needs another update. The furniture items you spend thousands of coins on are purely decorative, unless it’s a workbench that earns you more potions. I think that it would be more rewarding if the potion selling prices increase slightly when you upgrade the furniture and the room. That way, the grind to earn the coins isn’t so laborious and the furniture is actually worth buying! ### 5/5 — Very nice *2024-05-23* I like it. It’s calming and stress free, love how there are no forced ads. A bit sad to have cleared it. Would like to have more storage spots or to be able to mix and match the different themes together after unlocking everything. I would recommend. ### 4/5 — Optional ads *2024-05-18* I love this game for the fact that it doesn’t give you randomly timed ads they let you choose to get one to speed up time or something of that nature. And this games cute atmosphere make it a nice game to play before bed because it’s simple and you can turn your brain off to play it. I think it’s a wonderful game. The only thing I don’t like is you have to get decor and tables stuff in order on the catalog and I wish there was a way to get more blue gem thingies but other then that it’s a great game ### 5/5 — Fun Witch *2024-05-17, version 5.5* Such a fun game to pass time ### 5/5 — Simple but enjoyable *2024-05-11* Really gets a hold of my need to “simple manage” I appreciate that I don’t have to keep up with TOO much but still have plenty to do. The tutorial is simple and to the point which is a big hit with me. I would like to see information improvements however. We don’t see price per ingredient or per potion. And nothing really has a name. Over all love the game and I hope to see what comes of it! <3 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pas terrible *2024-04-22* Interface laisse à désirer et je n’ai pas trouvé d’intérêt au jeu. Il y a quelques chose à revoir sans doute. ### 1/5 — Ennuyeux *2024-04-05* Pas grand intérêt à ce jeu. On s'ennuie vite. ### 1/5 — Boring and Tedious *2024-03-12, version 4.9* Got app because of the positive reviews, though few altogether. Played for awhile waiting for the better levels to appear. Still waiting. Still so boring. This app is just like the animal restaurant game app, just nowhere near as beautiful or clever. ### 2/5 — Meh *2024-04-12* Overall cute but wouldn’t recommend unless you like repetition. Lots and lots of tedious repetition. It’s cute and scratches the game itch, but honestly it’s pretty boring. Upgrades are linear and even though you can see the next 5 things in the Shop Improvement Catalog (my name for it), you can, AT BEST, only buy 2 at any time, and when that happens it’s usually a cash register upgrade, which is an ambiguous max increase that I’ve never seen capped to begin with, or an increase of free 2 minute recharge potion bottles… BY ONE BOTTLE. You can only stockpile 10 items in your storage and, up to the point I’ve played, there isn’t a way to upgrade that further. Cosmetic upgrades are required but give no benefit besides unlocking the next item in the catalog and most likely it’ll just be another cosmetic upgrade, making it incredibly slow and annoying to get to the next actual game upgrade. ### 3/5 — Fun but basic *2025-10-21, version 6.24* The game itself is fun but a bit basic. The biggest annoyance is the pop up every time you buy an item to rate it. So. Here is your rating. 3* for that reason. ### 3/5 — Not unlocking recipes *2025-06-02, version 6.14* I’ve been playing a while but now it’s not unlocking recipes. I have the ingredients needed for 3 or more recipes and it won’t let me make them, just taking up room in my storage. Is it a glitch or is there something I don’t know about? ### 3/5 — Boring Fast *2025-05-03* I had liked it at the beginning but due to how restrictive it is this makes it repetitive therefore, becoming boring fast. You do not get to choose which upgrades you want forcing you to buy furniture that improves nothing, also you can not scroll down to see future upgrades only the next four. These kill the game with progress wise. Moreover, the two minute wait to fill bottles feels like torcher, watching a 2 to 3 minute ad to fill them ‘quickly’ is useless (might as well just wait the 2 minutes); and the 10 flower cap is to low. When you upgrade the chest for room this cap should go up too. I had really liked the game at first, but for me these flaws make it impossible to keep pushing forward. ### 3/5 — Cute, but flat *2024-07-16* Being unable to mute the very loud music until the long tutorial finished was irksome, but the gameplay itself is easy enough to understand and competently designed. However, the recipe book gives you a look at what all the future ingredients and potions will look like, eliminating any interest for me to put time into the game to find them out. ### 3/5 — Fun but bad pacing *2024-05-09, version 5.5* Progression needs an overhaul. Very tedious. ### 3/5 — Cute game *2024-04-22, version 4.9* Cute game, id love if the idle thing was in it. Or sell out while AFK. Or it keeps collecting/growing plants while AFK. Cause the game just stops when you close it. No AFK or idle. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good perfect *2026-05-09* Great game!!!! Please more potions recipes Game upgrade please!! 😍😍😭😭 최고!!! 완전 취향이에요 그냥 포션 가게 운영하는 건데 모든 레시피 중에 벌써 중간 정도 다 깼는데… 언제 또 업그레이드가 될까요…? 운영자님!! 새로운 레시피 더 업그레이드 해주세요❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Cannot recommend enough *2025-07-23, version 6.20* like shop titans but so much better. less work, more fun, and all the purchases in the game (including no ads) are less than most apps no ads. 1000/5 ### 5/5 — Love this but... *2025-02-25, version 6.14* I love this game so much but i wish there was some more control if that makes sense, ive gotten to a point in the game where im only making little progress after ages of playing, for example it takes so long to make money for really expensive items that add no value to the gameplay over and over again, idk it just feels like there should be more to this game as its so amazing dont get me wrong im not going to stop playing i do really love it :) ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-02-06, version 6.8* It’s a really good game so far ### 5/5 — Cute, simple game *2025-01-16* This is one of the most streamlined shop sims I’ve seen. You don’t choose which plants to grow or potions to make. Plants grow randomly with more variety as you level the planters, and the cauldron makes whatever potions you have supplies for. It’s great if you want a shop sim without a lot of micromanaging. ### 5/5 — Sander brain rot 🤓 *2024-12-04, version 6.5* Ihateithere ### 5/5 — go go go *2024-11-19, version 6.5* i like this game more parts pls ### 5/5 — Can play for hours *2024-11-09, version 6.5* So fun and simple and mindful and cosy ### 5/5 — Fun game!! Make more!! *2024-10-19, version 6.5* I love the game and grinded on it for hours, it’s really polite with its ads so I never really minded watching for a couple more bottles 😎 hope the creator keeps adding more it’s a lot of fun and such a vibe ### 5/5 — Love the games from this dev *2024-10-13* I’ve downloaded a few of their other games and really enjoy them ^_^ I usually just end up purchasing the ad removal and little buffs because the dev has kept it so affordable and it makes gameplay more enjoyable for me personally. I hope to see more games from you guys in the future <3 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
