Recurring themes

Excessive Ads negative
A vast majority of negative reviews highlight the overwhelming number of ads, often appearing after every level or every few seconds, making the game frustrating and nearly unplayable for many users. The developer's notes mention 'performance improvements and bug fixes' but do not address the ad frequency, which is a major point of contention in recent reviews.R6R10R22R29
Repetitive Gameplay negative
Many users report that the game quickly becomes boring due to repetitive levels and tasks, with little variety or progression. This contradicts the initial fun experienced by some players.R2R8R55R113
Misleading Ads negative
A significant number of reviewers feel that the game does not accurately represent what is shown in its advertisements, leading to disappointment when the actual gameplay differs from expectations.R93R100R118R156
Fun & Engaging positive
Despite the issues, a considerable portion of reviews praise the game as fun, enjoyable, and a good way to pass time, with some finding it addictive.R3R9R11R19
Educational Value positive
Some users appreciate that the game teaches about money, including how to count it and identify fake currency, making it suitable for kids.R24R27R46R53
Technical Issues negative
Reviewers mention various technical problems such as glitches, freezing, black screens, and the game crashing. This directly contradicts the developer's claim of 'performance improvements and bug fixes' in the latest update.R50R82R98R116

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy simple, casual games and are looking for something to pass the time, especially if they are interested in a basic introduction to handling money R24R27. It might appeal to children learning to count or identify money R27R46. It is NOT for players who dislike frequent interruptions from ads, expect diverse gameplay, or are looking for a game that accurately reflects its advertisements R6R93R103.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew negative, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads and repetitive gameplay, which contrasts with the lifetime rating of 4.5. This suggests a negative trajectory in user satisfaction, possibly due to increased ad frequency or lack of new content over time, especially since the app has not been updated in over a year. The developer's notes about bug fixes are contradicted by recent reports of glitches and crashes.

  12. [R6] 2/5 · US Ads: Too many ads
  13. [R10] 3/5 · US It's ok buttttt......: It's a good game to play but too many adds
  14. [R13] 5/5 · US Good game: Its good but evrey one or two levels i get an ad please fix this

  16. [R2] 1/5 · US Money buster 3D review: It is hard and boring you should try to add more games to money busters
  17. [R8] 1/5 · US Anything but busting fake money: Levels are anything but busting fake money so I’m done with this app
  18. [R55] 2/5 · US Meh: This game is a tad bit fun, it doesn’t really keep me playing when I am bored and I think adding more obstacles in the game would make me rate higher. Sorry creator.
  19. [R113] 1/5 · US DON’T PLAY: When I first started playing the leveled were just like the adds but after like 3 levels they only had tasks like burn fake money for the next 40 levels so PLEASE don’t play.
  20. [R93] 2/5 · US Other parts of the game: It is a fun game but it’s not enough of the real game it shows for adds. For adds it shows that it only does that real thing which is using a magnifying glass and a purple light but and mostly does other things not what it shows on adds
  21. [R100] 1/5 · US Not so great: I was playing a game when I saw the add I downloaded it but then it was not like the add
  22. [R118] 3/5 · US ???: I thought this was about detecting and shredding fake money not any game on the App Store retexured to money. This is false advertising (I haven’t seen an ad in my life that was telling the truth) but I didn’t get it from an ad I have seen ads for it though, it is pretty decent despite that but it is also ripping off a decent amount of other games. (as mentioned earlier)
  23. [R156] 1/5 · GB Scammed by the ads: The whole game is a god damn lie!!! WARNING ⚠️ don’t get the game
  24. [R50] 1/5 · US Before you get this game: Before you get this game, make sure you read this because when I got this game, it was like there was like a whole bunch of that and like for like the first two days I got it. It wasn’t. It was like a blink screen. And unless you really want your ad, I will not get this game.
  25. [R82] 3/5 · US Bro not that good of a game: It won’t let me do anything it’s not letting me throw the money on the game
  26. [R98] 1/5 · US it won’t let me play: It won’t let me play
  27. [R116] 3/5 · US Glitches: It is fun but keEP on taking me to this and it is realLy glitchy and Hard
  28. [R4] 3/5 · US It’s a little bit hard: Can you fix it
  29. [R92] 2/5 · US Not so far as everyone: This game is too big and my son could not understand anything that was happening, but I think it’s good but I put two stars cause this game is not fun for even for your child, but my child was 10 years and did not understand anything.
  30. [R122] 3/5 · US It’s a pretty good game: I think this game is a nice where you can have different challenges to do and how their all about money. The problem I am having though is that the constant repetition on level themes gets boring after a while. Another problem I see is that there is nothing you can spend your earned money on. I feel like it should instead be a story. Where you are a business person and you
  31. [R125] 1/5 · US Mid: What is the point of adding money if u can’t spend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  32. [R136] 3/5 · US 4 problems: This game has 1 problem 1 money is only spent on not looking for if it’s sus 2 has to be Not Sus to be checked out in a supermarket 3 money is kind of useless 4 they’re on too many ads called block blast but no other game is special so I’m putting it in five greatest games in my head
  33. [R22] 1/5 · US Sucks: THIS GAME SUCKS ALL U DO IS CHECK MONEY AND THERE'S ADS EVERY 2 secs AND IT'S ANNOYING IF U HATE ADS DON'T BUY THIS
  34. [R29] 2/5 · US Ads: There are way to many ads u have to watch one after every level its a good game there is just to many ads.
  35. [R53] 5/5 · US McKenzie opinion: So much fun and helps people learn about how to take care of their money
  36. [R103] 1/5 · US So many ads: If you don’t like ads then you should not play this game it is fun but this game has too many ads every 1 minute ads pop up and you only get to see if one dollar is fake like if there is only one freaking dollar to see is fake 😭😭😭😭
  37. [R148] 1/5 · US SO MANY ADS!!!! :|||||||: the amount of ads in this game are insane and i barley play anymore bc of how many there are. there is probably an ad after every single level it makes me crazy. DO NOT GET THIS STUPID GAME!!!!!!!
  38. [R153] 1/5 · GB Poor game: The game just crashes every time I try to play it!! I have tried to delete and then re-download it again but still it just shows a black screen then crashes!!
  39. [R194] 3/5 · GB Good but…(plz read): I really love this game it is very good i have been playing this quite a while but there is a bug which i would like to report.on level 67 i had finished the level but it didnt move on and it wouldnt let me do anything im still stuck on this level to this date
