Foodie Sizzle
4.6★ · 21,371 ratings · Free

  1. [R1] Cookingdom 2/5 · US Yea but not really: U need WiFi and interrupt for ads
  2. [R3] Cookingdom 3/5 · US App problems: This game is very fun but the ads are constantly annoying, they come and go every single thing you basically do.
  3. [R4] Cookingdom 2/5 · US You gave me a bad attitude: Five stars so you can see but it glitches and it has soooooo many adds please fix it right now or I'ma delete it
  4. [R6] Cookingdom 3/5 · US Fun! But: It could be a little more easy given the hours worth of ads.
  5. [R7] Cookingdom 1/5 · US It keeps malfunctioning and it’s making me mad it won’t even let me do the first step: I hate this game
  6. [R9] Cookingdom 3/5 · US The recipes: All of the recipes are in progress every time I try to do anything. It is constantly annoying because I am accumulating many of the passes and I can't even use them so please fix and that may make my review change. Thanks for curating this game as it is very fun but too many ads are also a problem. Have a blessed day!
  7. [R13] Cookingdom 2/5 · US Really fun game but far too many bugs.: I have been playing this game for almost a year and genuinely enjoy the game so much. It may be one of the best cooking games I’ve played, with all that being said technical issues become more frequently frustrating as you play the game. The game tends to freeze or bug out in the middle of a level, which tends to mess with the progress you’ve made. A lot of
  8. [R10] Cookingdom 1/5 · US Cooking: Well, I’d not really like it because when I had a lot of minutes left, I started like cooking and I finished and then it said that I was wrong and I did not get it right basically like they said that I ran out of time and I did not run out of time
  9. [R19] Cookingdom 1/5 · US Short time limit: The new update sucks, there’s literally not enough time to do all the cooking!!!
  10. [R23] Cookingdom 5/5 · US Love this game!!: Really fun, but please make the timer a tad bit longer
  11. [R28] Cookingdom 1/5 · US I hate this game: Bru from the first day of having this game I hated it. It gives u a timer which is not relaxing,it gives super hard recipes,and it doesn’t even have a recipe book or anything like the ad. This game sucks. Never download it or u will regret wasting your time
  12. [R30] Cookingdom 3/5 · US My First Experience Playing: This game is definitely very fun and interactive, it’s very cozy, good aesthetic and sound effects, what I would improve it definitely more hints and helps since at times I’m so completely confused on what to do and have to restart at least 4 times just to get there stars and to have a fresh start, it’s really fun but I would definitely change that.
  13. [R31] Cookingdom 1/5 · US Tired of this game: Need energy and money for everything
  14. [R26] Cookingdom 4/5 · US Too much gb: Great game but 3.4 Gb is insanity
  15. [R40] Cookingdom 2/5 · US TBH mid game, takes lots of storage unlike other game: The game is ok I just downloaded it to play when I don’t have Internet, but it’s not worth it if you have lots of storage already taking up the storage in this game it’s literally like point something away from being the same gigabytes as downloading YouTube or messages 😕
  16. [R51] Perfect Tidy 1/5 · US Fun but money was stolen: The game was fun for a while but at some point I had decided to buy a ten dollar vip package. The package was supposed to remove all forced adds, give unlimited time on levels and some other things. A little while later all those perks disappeared and I essentially paid ten dollars for nothing. As long as you don’t spend your money on anything in the game it would be fun.
  17. [R52] Perfect Tidy 5/5 · US Please read.: Hello, I only gave this review just so you guys could read it. I used to really love this game since it was relaxing and fun, but it suddenly became a very stressing game. The games are fun, but the timer is giving me stress. I needed to watch 3 ads just to complete the level. Don’t get this app unless you’re paying or you’ll get stressed and NOT SATISFIED.
  18. [R53] Perfect Tidy 3/5 · US short timers: there are a lot of ads and they dont give you enough time with the timer so you HAVE to watch an ad to pass the level. fun game but the timer is way too short. there should be more levels in the football festival because 4 is not enough
  19. [R54] Perfect Tidy 2/5 · US Being timed ruins the game: I enjoy this game but being timed completely takes away the coziness and enjoyability of this game. This would be a 5 star game if you take off the timer. I HATE IT.
  20. [R65] Cooking Fever 1/5 · US Game freezes on certain restaurants: I really need yall to fix this!
  21. [R66] Cooking Fever 5/5 · US Awesome: Been playing the game since I was 6 years old, in my opinion it hasn’t changed a bit keep up the great work!
  22. [R67] Cooking Fever 3/5 · US A good game but read: I feel like it’s super hard to get gems 💎 but I completed the first level easily. And if I ask my mom she will say no immediately because she doesn’t like spending money on games which I also get that it was good until it got an update because now the places are way more gems and money 💴 which makes me mad 😡😡😡well peace✌️ 🫪🫪🫪
  23. [R68] Cooking Fever 2/5 · US Annoying Ads: This game has always had a smaller amount of ads but over the years it’s increased which I understand as a free game with paid extras. However, the recent ads have no way to close out on newer phones. Because of the boundaries of the ad there’s no x to press after a certain amount of time so I literally have to close out of the app altogether and restart between every single round. A
  24. [R79] Crazy Chef Cooking Games 2/5 · US Time: Not enough time
  25. [R80] Crazy Chef Cooking Games 5/5 · US Best game ever: It’s really a fun game and I really enjoyed it . It really deserves 5 stars
  26. [R81] Crazy Chef Cooking Games 3/5 · US Like game. Could be better: I like game. I feel you can’t earn money as fast. And causes you to get stuck in the game pushing you to have to spend money. I know is what they want but some of it is unrealistic. If I get to the point I can’t move forward without spending a lot I just will delete game
  27. [R82] Crazy Chef Cooking Games 2/5 · US Fun for a bit: The game was fun up until I got to a level that I just couldn’t pass. No matter how many times I tried. So I deleted it.
  28. [R93] Foodie Sizzle 1/5 · US Good game, random SHEIN ads: Okay. I put a review out a few days ago. The SHEIN pop ups have gotten worse. I will be deleting for now until it’s fixed unfortunately.
  29. [R94] Foodie Sizzle 5/5 · US Fix Your Ads: Deleted this game because the SHEIN add opened my browser continuously rendering this game unplayable.
  30. [R95] Foodie Sizzle 3/5 · US Love! But SHEIN???: I loved this game. It was always so playable despite the ads since they didn’t interrupt the gameplay too much and the level of difficulty was just perfect for each level. However, recently I’ve been playing and I’ve noticed that I am randomly getting redirected to my search engine to a link to women’s clothing on SHEIN. This happens whether I am touching the screen or not and
  31. [R96] Foodie Sizzle 1/5 · US Blah: Ridiculous SHEIN ads pop up every 30 seconds. Game is unplayable.
  32. [R107] Tidy Up 1/5 · US Bad: This game is stupid I hate it because it won’t let me download it
  33. [R108] Tidy Up 4/5 · US Relaxing: Well I love things organize but I hate doing it and when I am mad this really calms me down
  34. [R109] Tidy Up 3/5 · US Needs some work…: The concept of this game is fun and has nice graphics but the bad outweigh the good. You are not given enough time to complete levels. There are annoying cat sounds. The ads will play with sound in the middle of the game so you will essentially be hearing the ad, game sounds and game music all at once! Some levels are confusing as well. Because of these reasons, I had to uninstal
  35. [R110] Tidy Up 2/5 · US Ads ads ads: Too many ads. Wish I could play the game more.
  36. [R2] Cookingdom 5/5 · US So good: This game is so fun to play it’s peaceful I can’t stop playing it
  37. [R5] Cookingdom 5/5 · US Very nice app: I love this app I actually don’t get much ads and the game it’s self is just so fun and relaxing I have really bad anxiety so this helps the cooking is just so nice highly recommend!💗
  38. [R11] Cookingdom 4/5 · US Cute: really fun. Satisfying,cool,fun I like the music.
