Recurring themes

Ad Frequency negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming number of ads, with users reporting ads appearing every few seconds, after every action, or even in the middle of levels. This makes the game frustrating and unplayable for many, leading to immediate uninstalls. Some users also report inappropriate ads for children. The developer's notes mention 'tiny little bugs' fixed, but do not address the ad situation, which remains a major issue for users.R1R5R7R8
Gameplay Enjoyment mixed
Despite the ad issues, many users find the core gameplay fun, addictive, and relaxing, especially for younger audiences. They enjoy the process of packing lunchboxes and find it satisfying. However, some find it boring or repetitive after a short time.R5R9R10R11
Bugs and Glitches negative
Several users report significant bugs, such as the game breaking with no buttons or content, getting stuck on specific levels, or issues with controls. These reports contradict the developer's update notes claiming 'tiny little bugs were causing mischief, but we caught them all' and that the game now 'runs like a dream' (Developer's notes).R9R11R36R41
Misleading Ads negative
Users are disappointed that the game's actual content does not match what is shown in advertisements. Specifically, ads often depict stationary packing, while the game is exclusively about food.R7R21R48

Who it's for

This game is for young children who enjoy simple, organizing games and are not easily frustrated by constant interruptions. It is NOT for anyone who dislikes frequent ads, expects the game to match its advertisements, or is looking for a bug-free experience R5R7R16R28.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily due to the overwhelming ad frequency. While some positive reviews exist, they often acknowledge the ad problem. The lifetime rating of 4.6 suggests a more positive past, but the recent trajectory is clearly negative.

  8. [R1] 3/5 · GB It’s good but…: I love this game and play it frequently but there is one small problem. The amount of adds that pop up is over the top and I don’t think it’s worth getting without buying the no adds which cost money. I really do wish that there where no adds because I love the game and would play it all the time
  9. [R5] 2/5 · GB Meh: People are really dramatic about the ads but there’s still a lot more than there should be. The game doesn’t keep you entertained for a while. Would not recommend.

  13. [R48] 4/5 · GB Alright: This game is really fun and enjoyable. Although there are a few things about this game that I really don’t like! First of all it doesn’t look anything like it shows you in the add it shows you school supplies but it is actual food. The other thing I don’t like is that there are way too many ads I complete something and BOOM an add other than that it is perfect and I define recommend it if
  14. [R11] 4/5 · GB Nice but..: I would like the app/game if there was not adds or any massive foods. I would even like it better if there wasn’t TOO much foods. I ended up deleting it because it randomly got boring. Please check the game because I get glitches but good game
  15. [R36] 3/5 · GB Good but ended up deleting: So when I first got this game I was enjoying it so much! That was until I got stuck on a level, I can’t remember what but the lunchbox had 4 stacks and quite a lot of food. I had been stuck in it for months and I would go on it every now and then to try complete it however it just wouldn’t work nk matter how much I tried. I ended up deleting because of this.
