### 3/5 — My opinion

*2024-04-21, version 1.07*

The game is good, but I have noticed when you are a female you can only have one biological child and you cannot adopt pets even though there is an option to.

### 3/5 — great potential!

*2024-04-17, version 1.07*

I’ve really been enjoying this game so far! Since it seems pretty new, it makes sense that there’s some bugs. Two I’ve noticed are: not being able to ask your parents to adopt a pet even though the option is there, and not being able to go to college even though I have the required stats. Hopefully these can be fixed but I’m really liking it so far. :)

### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads?!!!

*2025-12-10, version 1.12*

I’ve played this a few times before and nothing out of the ordinary. I made a custom character today and right after it gave me ads and one was straight up porn (not implied sexual stuff or animated or whatever it was like straight up in real life porn ad).

### 1/5 — Nothing can top the sims and bitlife

*2024-11-16, version 1.12*

This is a confusing game.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-07-24, version 1.10*

My character died the first round because of mental health issues but there is literally no way to get Sanity up besides spending $100k for a vacation. It won’t even let me change personal preferences that would get the Sanity up. The game has a lot of potential but ultimately a waste of time. Alternative games are better

### 1/5 — I can only have one kid

*2024-07-13, version 1.09*

When ever I try it says I’m pregnant but my kid is born

### 2/5 — Kind of disappointing

*2024-08-16, version 1.11*

So in BitLife, there is a back button in your life Life Simulator games. There is also a back button in Life Simulator and Life Simulator two different games. There is a back button so in BitLife, there is a back button in your life Life Simulator games. There is also a back button in Life Simulator and Life Simulator two different games. There is a back button.. there is no such button in ZipLife also there is no pop-ups what

### 3/5 — Meh

*2025-06-24, version 1.12*

So when I try to age up at 31 I can't

### 3/5 — I really liek it

*2025-06-01, version 1.12*

My only complaint is I had one child but when I try to have another child it just says I’m already pregnant so that’s about it

### 3/5 — Good needs work

*2024-11-06, version 1.12*

wish you could continue as your child when you die, that would be cool also better ways to help you not die. because i pretty much get a fatal illness every life

### 3/5 — I had fun but..

*2024-07-25, version 1.10*

I do have some complaints, first of all I think you should add a dating app it would make dating easier and also I kept dying young because of depression or cancer of some reason and when I picked poor family they ALWAYS had 3 kids all girls and I ALWAY got in a car accident which is very weird anyway it’s just a ok game I guess😕

### 5/5 — 😍😁OMG

*2026-07-18, version 1.14*

I absolutely love this no ad game! It’s so fun but there is one little thing if you play this game you will know that it’s not easy to have a partner more than once and I really want kids in this game not in weird way!!! So try this game out and you’ll see what I mean there’s only like one advert if you want to get something but you gotta watch an ad! I’m 100% want to see this so they know how good this game is five stars!!!!!!! 🙂😎

### 5/5 — Can’t have another child

*2025-11-02, version 1.12*

In the life, I love this game, but I can’t seem to have another child every time I try it says that I’m already pregnant but I know I’m not because I try the next year and the next year after that it just always tells me that I’m already pregnant when I already had a baby so I would love it if the game 
Would fix that bug and then maybe I could rate it five stars

### 5/5 — pretty good!

*2025-03-12, version 1.12*

I saw it had 2 stars but saw only 2 people had rated it so decided to check it out myself. Its pretty fun! sure some things could be improved like a bit more to do or more pop up events but i like it !

### 5/5 — Awsome game!

*2024-09-02, version 1.12*

Challenging but also super fun

### 4/5 — New here and loving the game :)

*2026-03-04, version 1.12*

I’m loving this game so far but please come back and fix the can’t have more kids thing. It says I’m already pregnant every time and I’m not.

### 4/5 — Really good

*2026-01-24, version 1.12*

This games is really good but can get boring

### 4/5 — It’s nice

*2025-07-14, version 1.12*

Play it when I’m at the restaurant

### 4/5 — Beautifully crafted

*2024-11-17, version 1.12*

This is a great game however I have one suggestion, in terms of voiceover use for individuals with visual impairment. Please add a close or back button for every menu or dialogue 
so the visually impaired individual doesn’t have to keep closing and reopening the app every single second 
please and thank you. 
Also, can you please fix the bug where you have to keep clicking on a certain action in the relationships tab if you want to take one of your family members to a certain place and also fix the bug where you have to keep going one year to take your family member to one place it’s very annoying

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2024-09-01, version 1.12*

Wish we have the option to play as our children

### 4/5 — Lokey boring

*2024-04-30, version 1.07*

There’s no pop-ups like the thing that makes other games like BitLife so fun it’s like the random things that happened. This game has none of it. I mean you can’t adopt animals there’s no adoption no robbery nothing that makes the game the game no mafia just like there’s no circus. There’s no realism about this game. I do like the graphics but other than that this game definitely needs some work like just no pop-ups I feel like you’re just playing an endless loop definitely better games out there play this game if you do not like the sense of pop-up ads and like everything to go your way, then this game is right for u😭😭
