Toca Boca World is praised for its creative freedom, lack of ads, and inclusive content, making it a favorite for many users across different age groups R9R41. However, a significant number of recent reviews highlight severe technical problems, including frequent app crashes, lost in-app purchases, and issues with restoring content, which detracts from the overall experience R3R10R15. The game also faces criticism for its extensive paywall, with many desirable features and locations requiring additional purchases R32.

Recurring themes

Crashes & Bugs negative
Many users report frequent app crashes, especially when trying to enter specific buildings, access the gift shop, or after updates. The developer's notes mention new items, but do not address these critical stability issues, which users claim have been ongoing for years.R2R3R6R7
In-App Purchases negative
A predominant complaint is the high cost and extensive paywall for most content, including buildings, furniture, and character options. Users feel limited by the free content and express frustration when previously purchased items become free for new players.R14R19R22R24
Lost Purchases/Progress negative
Many users report losing their purchased packs, houses, and saved game progress, often after updates, reinstalling the app, or getting a new device. Customer support is frequently cited as unresponsive or unhelpful.R10R15R40R43
Multiplayer Requests positive
A recurring suggestion from users is the addition of a multiplayer mode to play with friends or family. This feature is seen as a way to enhance the game's social aspect and replayability.R1R17R28R42
Free Gifts & Inclusivity positive
Users appreciate the regular free gifts from the post office and the game's inclusive content, including LGBTQ+ representation. However, some report issues with not receiving gifts or finding them repetitive.R4R9R44R48

Who it's for

This game is for creative individuals who enjoy role-playing and designing characters and environments, especially those who appreciate inclusive content and a lack of ads R9R44R56. It's suitable for players willing to invest in in-app purchases to unlock the full range of content . It is not for users who are sensitive to frequent app crashes, potential loss of purchased content, or those unwilling to spend money beyond the initial download R3R10R32.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly concerning technical issues and lost purchases, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a recent decline in user experience or increased visibility of long-standing issues.

While the game offers some free content and is free to download, many users feel that most desirable buildings, furniture, and character options are locked behind paywalls, making extensive in-app purchases seem necessary for a full and creative experience R24R32.

  9. [R30] 4/5 · US Rlly like it so far!: I absolutely love this game! It’s got all of the previous games Toca Boca came out with, all in one app! It’s super convenient, and the game has lots to do even without buying packs! My only issue is that I’ve purchased games like Toca Boca: Farm and Toca Boca: Vacation back when they were sold separately. I purchased them using the Apple ID I am using now, but when I hit res
  10. [R2] 3/5 · US It could be better: Very fun game I’m 15 and still play not going to lie but to laggy and the restarting in the middle of nowhere is very annoying. Honestly it’s been doing that for years why has it never been fixed fully the lagging has gotten a little better though.

  12. [R3] 1/5 · US Boring: It has many game crashes
  13. [R6] 4/5 · US kicks me out: i love toca boca with all of my heart but lately it’s been crashing more and more. my main problem is that when i try to enter the barn in lettuce lands it kicks me out, no matter what i do. i wouldn’t like to reset or uninstall the app because i dont want to lose my progress but i truly dont know what to do anymore. this started randomly. i took a few barn animals to one of the hous
  14. [R7] 4/5 · US Problems.😐: Hi so my sons Toca boca keeps kicking him out every time he tries to play we already tried to reset his iPad and it still won’t work so can you check it out thank you.😊
  15. [R11] 4/5 · US Fun but bugs: Every time I get in the app and click a house it kicks me out of the game and back to my Home Screen.
  16. [R10] 1/5 · US I want my money back: So I got all the clothing packs but I did not get them
  17. [R15] 4/5 · US Severe bug: Hi 👋 I spent over 100 dolllars on your game and now it’s bugging like all my houses and purchases are gone and no matter how much I reset it or update, it never works pls fix it.
  18. [R78] 2/5 · GB It took my packs: So basically i bought a couple packs a few years ago and I still had it still and I’m trying to transfer it or whatever the packs on my iPad and now it doesn’t give it to me on my iPad or my phone and I’m not restoring any of it
  19. [R87] 1/5 · GB .: I loved the game but after the update everything I bought before I don’t have anymore
  20. [R22] 4/5 · US Why only four stars: I like the game but for me after a while cuz I don’t have a lot of money to buy packs and stuff all the time so like I just do the same things over and over again but for me when that happens I just reset the world 🌎
  21. [R24] 2/5 · US Too much purchases for locked biomes or other places: I love the game, and I have fun finding new things. But since there have been new places and or added areas you need to buy it in order to unlock it and I that’s unfair
  22. [R27] 5/5 · US Opinion: I live this game the only thing I wish they had was more free buildings but more furniture and houses would be really nice I just wish you could unlock more things to have unstoppable fund. The only other thing I would say is I wish we had more characters to style with other than only three because let’s say you wanted to make a family of four a mom and dad and two kids it’s really limite
  23. [R32] 3/5 · US MONEY MONEY MONEY: Everything cost money just make things and buildings free
  24. [R36] 4/5 · US Great but..: Okay let me just say that I love toca boca, it is my childhood game and I still play it to this day. But I just have one suggestion, in your new update where you made some things free, like the hospital, ok street high, etc, I love that you were thinking of new players and people who can't spend money on games, but I think it is unfair for the people who paid for the passes and now th
  25. [R101] 1/5 · GB Scammy: I’ve spent £100+ on this game and had every location and many outfit house and furnature packs, I got a new phone and had to re install app and EVERYTHING IS MISSING and customer support hasn’t ever replied to an email and I sent many, months ago. Refresh purchases didn’t work ether. DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING. Things I bought also became free and people who paid get nothing for it.
  26. [R106] 2/5 · GB Repay please: Hi so, I paid for hospital, can I get my money back now that it’s free? It’d make more sense
  27. [R1] 5/5 · US Add this please toca Boca: Make 9 plus but can you make it multiplayer game? Please I’ve been so excited for a new update like this to happen please Toca Boca see this. Please please. Me and my friend were just talking about how amazing it would’ve been.🤗🤗🤗

  30. [R42] 1/5 · US This is why I love Toca Boca sometimes they have to pay that’s why: This is not true. I read it one star because can we have a multiplayer so I can see you hard work I hate Toca Boca now your game is so cool. I read the 100 star.
  31. [R4] 2/5 · US I love this game BUT…: I love this game, I especially love checking in every Friday for the post office gifts. But for whatever reason I'm not getting them which has really bummed me out and I've tried all kinds of things to fix of to no avail and no clear answers on what to do about it. so for that I have to give it two stars.
  32. [R189] 2/5 · AU Gifts!!!: Hey Toca! One of the negatives your game offers is forcing players to go through the long, tiring and painful wait to get gifts just for them to be let down and feel that all the time they waited that tested patience was wasted because of the horrible, ugly or just plain gifts that we receive weekly. I absolutely hate it when I have to wait at least 7 days to get a gift and it’s just an
  33. [R14] 5/5 · US Free slomo market: Toca boca If you would make the slomo market free we would really appreciate it because the free market does not have that much good stuff and it would be awesome if you would make the slomo market free because it has a lot of food details and I quit avatar world for Toca boca but sense the slomo market is not free I might just to back to avatar world at this point because the f
  34. [R19] 4/5 · US Fun but pricey: The gsme is awesome but just the packs and house to much money so if more stuff was free it would be super charged as one of my number one rated games.
  35. [R40] 4/5 · US I like Toca Boca, but it needs fixes: So yesterday I delete my Toca Boca because I was going loading long and then all my houses and I had to day care too was gone

  37. [R48] 5/5 · US I like this game B U T: I like the game and I get really happy when it’s pride month we get pride gifts. I also like when you guys put collaborations with artists. Bu I have a question game related but not game related. Does any of the characters read Yaoi?
