1. [R3] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · US great game BUT money driven: Everyone loves a game that has no ads, YES. But, when you run out of energy or your generators run out of energy, it takes long to reload and it’s very easy to get caught up spending real money. vERY EASY. Especially because as the game progresses, it takes longer or more energy to create the things needed. Also, I don’t think the ads correctly depict how the game is p
2. [R4] Merge Cooking® 1/5 · US Massive pay wall: If you want to play, you have to pay. You get only 100 energy a day and each level you need about 1000. Don’t waste your time or money
3. [R18] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · US Love but Hate: I absolutely loved this game but unfortunately I’m currently at a level 55 and it is taking forever to even complete one meal. I have played this game non stop but it doesn’t get anywhere with only a max of 100 energy. The only way to continuous keeping playing is by spending an insane amount of money
4. [R21] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · US Fun, but lowkey a money grab: This game is very fun and addicting, but you run out of energy and diamonds extremely fast and the only way to get energy is waiting like 3 hours or spending money. I get it, it’s a business, but it’s excessive and kinda makes me not want to play sometimes. It’s the same reason I stopped playing cooking fever. The ad of the game makes it seem endless, but when you dow
5. [R9] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · US Way too slow: This game takes waaay too long for energy/generators to reload
6. [R15] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · US Fun but….: Fun game but the generators run out too quickly which clearly makes it about money
7. [R19] Merge Cooking® 2/5 · US Too much down time!: This is an updated review. I originally had it as 3 stars but now I am down rating it. It’s a fun game when you can actually play it. The cool down periods and time it takes to cook take way too long. You get maybe 10 hits on the generator before it freezes you out. The cooking times are outrageous. It took me 5-6 hours to get to a mango because the 3 fruit generators went in
8. [R10] Merge Cooking® 1/5 · US Stupid deceiving app: I was playing my regular game and this came up as an ad and I was playing the ad and cooking food so I downloaded the game because it was fun. Turns out it was not even the same! It’s deceiving and I’m deleting it now!!
9. [R13] Merge Cooking® 1/5 · US not like the ad: i wanted the cake sorting game not this
10. [R25] Merge Cooking® 1/5 · US Bait and switch: Why?!?! Why does nobody understand that we want to play the game you made up play in the forced ad. It is pretty simple.
11. [R31] Merge Cooking® 1/5 · US Not the same as the ad says😔💔: Make it like the ad
12. [R1] Merge Cooking® 1/5 · US Error: Today my app froze and the suitcase with crystals and energy disappeared. Please fix this problem. · translated
13. [R12] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · US It’s mid: I used to love this game. I noticed that when you’re supposed to get extra energy you don’t actually get it. There was an 30 event where you finish orders in a certain a moment time and you get extra energy and I’ve been finishing orders and I haven’t got any extra energy .
14. [R28] Merge Cooking® 1/5 · US Am I donating to get scammed or what?: 7ljwBvMHnIYF5Mrfo9G6 I made a CHUM salmon, it was just lying there minding its own business, waiting for its turn. I didn't even have any orders for it! I complete a round, the tasks refresh, and then red caviar is needed. I searched everywhere, but my CHUM salmon is nowhere to be found! And this isn't the first time! My patience has just run out! · translated
15. [R43] Merge Cooking® 1/5 · GB Don’t make in-app purchases: Paying for anything stops the options of getting additional energy. Game changes following any payment.
16. [R32] Merge Cooking® 4/5 · US 9 ads to click out of: 9 ads I had to click out of just to start playing the game. 9! That’s brutally annoying.
17. [R45] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · GB Good game, too many pop ups.: This game is constantly trying to get you to pay for energy. I understand the odd pop up, but having to X away 3 or 4 pop ups throughout game play is exceptionally frustrating. I’m also a regular player, but still have never completed a full card collection. It also takes ages to save up your card points to exchange them in and get 0 new ones? Proper joke.
18. [R48] Merge Cooking® 3/5 · GB Fun but…: I’ve been playing this for quite some time. I did enjoy it but now the amount of time allowed from each generator to produce the things I need seems to be getting shorter. I find watching the ads to get more energy or time won a generator annoying. I have been trying for 3 days to get one thing I need to complete a task! The other pop up ads asking if I want to buy stuff for the game is
19. [R52] Gossip Harbor® 5/5 · US ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️: I love this game it’s really good and I love the drama between the mom and the dad. It’s really fun and so far I love it even though I’ve only been playing for like two days and you don’t have to pay for it.
20. [R56] Gossip Harbor® 3/5 · US Insufferable storyline: The merge part is your typical merger. It’s nothing special although it can be fun at moments when special events are happening. The storyline though…it’s insufferable. Quinn is the most uninteresting and boring character imaginable. She cannot make up her mind about anything, she flies off the handle and gets in a hissy fit over the smallest non-issues. She plays dumb and
21. [R59] Gossip Harbor® 3/5 · US Don't ever spend money on this game: I downloaded this game out of curiosity and it was not at all what was advertised. However I really enjoyed the matching aspect of the game so I had been playing for months really enjoying it. There's a ton of mini games in it which makes it interesting. They give you options for free energy and boosters by watching ads but the second you spend money on the ga
22. [R61] Gossip Harbor® 5/5 · US It is so good: See it’s so cool and cool . It’s like so fun and l love it so much it’s really fun you should play it bc it’s really fun and there’s no adds! You will love it so much! Bye.
23. [R70] Travel Town 3/5 · US Look: I love this game but I can’t even play without all the ad blocking my view, and when I think I’m finally done more pop which take forever to actually to start playing like it’s irritating . Like I get its letting me know what I miss but gawddd damn!!🥲
24. [R71] Travel Town 1/5 · US Sucks: Open the app and get a million pop ups/money grabs. Don’t play this unless you’re bored
25. [R72] Travel Town 4/5 · US Great game: I don’t know how they did it but this game makes you want to spend your money on the energy. I’ve never experienced fomo before this game but now I always have to know what’s next. My only complaint is being forced to play mini games, like the boat race one when I really do not want to. It’s pretty annoying if I do say so. Other than that this game is worth the try.
26. [R73] Travel Town 3/5 · US 😞😞: I love the game, but keep closing and freezing and also I hate to delete the game.
27. [R79] Merge Inn 1/5 · US Sucks: Out of all the merge game, this is my least favorite. The charge doesn’t stay long for the item boxes and everything costs a fortune to skip. This game sucks.
28. [R81] Merge Inn 3/5 · US Ok: All side jobs take a lot of energy and the refresh takes too long to actually ever get reward. It’s a good game if you are just VERY leisurely playing but does take a bit to actually progress.
29. [R83] Merge Inn 5/5 · US GAME: I truly love this game
30. [R88] Merge Inn 2/5 · US Ads: I used to love this game because there were no ads. I’ve been playing it for years. Now, all of a sudden there are ads every minute of playing. This is enough for me to want to delete the game.
31. [R94] Tasty Travels 5/5 · US Fun and easy: Very colorful and easy to play lots of thing to do
32. [R95] Tasty Travels 3/5 · US Entertaining but too many pushes for other games: Very nice game, catchy and fun. However, the push for download other games are quite annoying, and insistence on downloading them are very difficult to close the offers. Perhaps you should review your practice.
33. [R96] Tasty Travels 2/5 · US Coding is rigged: Updates took away the ability to get rid of unnecessary building materials to convert to energy. No other way to earn/get energy other than wait or spending money to buy it. Additionally, certain spawners generate 3 different items. I spent 300 lightning bolts and still haven’t gotten enough of the more rare item to merge. This is at level 75 with the pizza box. It’s like game k
34. [R97] Tasty Travels 4/5 · US Not like ad: I like the game but it is nothing like advertised & nothing like the screenshots in App Store. W hats up?
35. [R107] Cook & Merge 1/5 · US App Crashes All The Time: I’m a real person this app crashes a lot. I don’t know if it’s just me but can use a little fixing.
36. [R108] Cook & Merge 5/5 · US Super fun!: Very engaging !
37. [R109] Cook & Merge 3/5 · US Great Game: Great game but it just crashed. I have uninstalled it twice and it’s still not working. The hate that cause. Really did like the game.
38. [R110] Cook & Merge 1/5 · US Terrible Game: This game is glitching real bad so like it gives you the option with energies to deposit 10 diamonds and I have done that three times and has not got the energies so that’s 300 energies. I did not receive but it did take my 30 diamonds if this continue, I’m gonna uninstall this game and encourage everybody not to play it.
39. [R46] Merge Cooking® 1/5 · GB 2 star to 1 star: I left a 2 star review (for reasons). Now Adverts for additional benefits do not work; no ads available apparently. Those two things may of course be entirely unconnected; but a benefit within the game no longer working isn’t going to raise a rating, is it.
