1. [R1] The Sims™ FreePlay 2/5 · US Upset: I am upset that I do not get to start with a kid start with a house. Start with a job start married. It’s very annoying. I wanna start playing right away.
2. [R4] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US Not what Sims is about: The game will require to setup neighbors and if you don’t have social media you won’t be able to pass that quest and then there is no storyline. They essentially force you to connect your accounts to keep playing. That’s the first red flag. Updates would never download on WiFi or cellular. I restarted, tried other games, and it still wouldn’t download. Also it tries to make
3. [R7] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US Cannot Resume Game: I have been playing for a year and a few weeks ago I got the Living Teddy from the market, but it has a bug that does not allow you to return it to inventory. Support apparently fixed it, but I could only return it to inventory once and, then, it bugged again. So, I decided to save game and delete and reinstall. Now, I cannot load my saved game; I get up to 100% / 99% downloade
4. [R28] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time: The people that made this game are greedy. Make it free. It’s sims free play. And stop making us bust our butt all day to get ONE progression quest done.
5. [R53] BitLife 3/5 · US This game is amazing, but gets so boring, so fast.: I love bitlife, I’ve loved it for years. But, at some time it just go so much more boring. The story telling is boring, relationships with family is boring, all the “new stuff,” boring. I wish there was more character customization, family dynamics, school systems, crime systems, months instead of years, interactions with other people. Its just g
6. [R56] BitLife 3/5 · US Fun but can be disappointing and costly: I’ve played this game since the very beginning. I adore it and I’ve always been super dedicated. Unfortunately over the last few years the game has become costly to enjoy. DO NOT waste your money on the pass. I paid for it and have yet to be able to use it. I have to click restore purchase every time I get back on the game. And I can even use most of the co
7. [R62] BitLife 3/5 · US It’s good but…: The game is good and fun to play, like everyone else said, can be repetitive, lot of stuff is only accessible by paying for it. And I took two stars off because genuinely WAY TOO MANY ADS. If they could reduce the ads then the game would be so much more enjoyable. Mind you I still think it’s fun now. Please devs less ads.
8. [R66] Harry Potter 5/5 · US I LOVE IT CAUSE IM A HARRY POTTER FAN but….: I have to wait so many minutes to get energy and it’s annoying because I love playing this game and it’s funny how they are saying that my brother (in game) was bad and got expelled and he gone missing and I have to find him but anyway I love this game it’s really fun and cool but I think they need to fix the 4min = at least 5 or 10 energy cause it’s no
9. [R69] Harry Potter 4/5 · US Love it but: Love the game but not that I can’t get some of the charms and adventures. I didn’t realize there were some to choose from. It also takes a long time to get energy and complete tasks because almost everything requires a lot of energy to do it besides almost being a pay to play game I’ve really enjoyed it and hope I can get all the charms and adventures at some point
10. [R72] Harry Potter 5/5 · US A magical experience deeply bottlenecked by energy limits, please optimize this!: As a huge Harry Potter fan, I can see the immense care put into this, but the energy system simply brings everything to a halt. I know it is a big advertising part of your system, but advertising doesn’t matter if you don’t have players to advertise it too. You can still have adds, but please make the system better. Y
11. [R79] Life Sim 3D 1/5 · US Disappointed: I’ve had this game for about four or five months now I think about deleting it every day. The only thing that stops me is that I’ve actually paid money to get certain career opportunities and more rent. There’s entirely too many ads and I’ve now been waiting on the next house for at least the last month and a half. The creator does not update the game enough. I spent more time waiti
12. [R81] Life Sim 3D 3/5 · US fine: looks nothing like on pics, game is nice, but there are practically no options for furniture, clothes, appearance etc, ads every 30 seconds, and what’s up with this new update, nothing new was added… the last house is small and I can’t customise it, everything I change gets back every time I open the game again, I wish somebody care about this game it has a potential, also why characters get
13. [R84] Life Sim 3D 3/5 · US Crashing always: I really like this game but every time I open it I get like 1 minute of game play then it crashes. I have to restart my whole phone then I get 20 minutes of game play before it starts to crash and freeze again and then I need to restart the phone again. I even updated it and it still happens :(
14. [R93] Virtual Families 3 2/5 · US Bugs: So I’ve been playing this game since I could remember growing as an adult I’ve noticed that things are way too hard on the game such as earning coins , in the ads.. bugs glitch the game out where you won’t get rewarded anything. Please update virtual families. I love this game. I do not want to delete.
15. [R96] Virtual Families 3 1/5 · US Cool Game: But this game neeeeds work. You have to work like a slave to even get money to by more than food and medicine. Like they have to work like a dogggg for it . And all the furniture so expensive!! Next this game should have a way where the current generation can visit and meet with their sibling til a. New generation starts . Like the siblings should be able to connect on a family trip or
16. [R104] Virtual Families 3 3/5 · US Too expensive: love this game but everything is too expensive and your people only get paid so often. the only way to get things in this game is to literally either watch ads over and over again or straight up buy more money, which mind you, even THAT is super expensive for a small amount of coins. for someone who has been playing this game on and off for years, that’s honestly really messed up a
17. [R107] Avakin Life 1/5 · US Full of creeps and children: Just makes the game icky and weird to allow children to play this game now. But still have the audacity to have nsfw clothing on the game still. According to their Terms and Services that everyone skips and never reads anymore. It clearly states they allow kids 11 and up depending on the country. But the game still has inappropriate clothing options. Huge lawsuit waiti
18. [R110] Avakin Life 2/5 · US Used to be Great: Avakin Life once was an AMAZING game. In the last few years, it’s turned into a primarily profit focused game. As a player of 12 years now, it’s very sad to see. We used to look forward to holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, even the popular Black Friday sales with very deep discounts. Those are no longer. Events and new items are just recycled & recolored repeat items. Avakin
19. [R119] Avakin Life 1/5 · US #FIXAVAKIN: I’ve been a loyal player since 2017. This game is a scam and not free or fun to play anymore. • They nerfed coin currency by adding crowns. • Every item they add is a crown item. • All servers are dead. • They removed Radio / music streaming feature and adding And so much more. Everyone considering playing this game, as well as Devs should watch khaychay.avakin’s video, “BOYCOTT
20. [R5] The Sims™ FreePlay 5/5 · US FUNNNNN: This game is literally amazing and sooo fun I could not stop playing it and it teaches you a lot about life and how sometimes it is not perfect butttt there is a bunch of funnn exciting things to
21. [R17] The Sims™ FreePlay 5/5 · US Sims FreePlay: This game is great! I’ve played it for so many years and I still love it to this day! I just wish that it had a money cheat, because it’s really hard to do certain things in the game without a good chunk of money. Other than that, it’s awesome! I hope this one doesn’t get removed because I have so much progress and I’ve spent hours building and creating things!
