  1. [R3] Cooking Craze 3/5 · US Holiday Side Games??: I ADORE this game (like an embarrassing amount of adoration for a grown woman), but one of the features I’ve loved are the seasonal side games. There were the usual ones for back to school, fall, and Halloween, but then there was nothing for Thanksgiving and so far nothing for Christmas! I noticed there was a pretty significant update in the last couple of weeks; I hope this
  2. [R8] Cooking Craze 5/5 · US Update: I love this game however are there no new restaurants besides crown chef?
  3. [R9] Cooking Craze 3/5 · US Ads ruined it for me !: Been my favorite game since it came out. It’s fun, challenging, and not cheap looking. There is always something new to cook, and the food matches the city. But now there are ads, long ones, after every level! Why? You could watch them for extra coins and spoons, what was wrong with that? Half the time they freeze. Should be 5 stars but ads should make it 0. Also suggesti
  4. [R11] Cooking Craze 5/5 · US this game is so fun and it make me very hungy hungy: i have played this game for years and it oddly doesn’t get old? like i play with my brother and it’s cool to see all the kinds of food from the foreign countries. good game, good food.
  5. [R1] Cooking Craze 1/5 · US Frustrated: This game was awesome before they added advertising. Now the game stalls and frames freeze. After watching a long ad, it freezes. I used to love this game. Now I find it frustrating.
  6. [R2] Cooking Craze 4/5 · US Ok so…: Personally I do agree with the people who say that there are to many promotion pop up’s. And that’s the problem.Every time I get a lot of promotion pop up’s it kicks me out so I have to go back and load In again, and boy does that take a while. But after all this not so positive information I would personally say that I recommend this game.👌
  7. [R5] Cooking Craze 5/5 · US Game crashing: I am having a problem with the game, it is crashing literally every two minutes and I have to close it and open it and so on.
  8. [R6] Cooking Craze 3/5 · US Laggy: Booooooo idk why it is so slow. Every time I close the app the music is still playing for like 10 seconds and the game keeps pausing for so long when it loads to 100%. Idk if it’s my device, maybe, but it’s happening all the time and I don’t like it. *sashays away*
  9. [R16] Cooking Craze 1/5 · US Lost progress: I’ve been plaghis for years and all my progress was lost fix this😡
  10. [R4] Cooking Craze 2/5 · US Too many ads: I enjoy playing. And I used to watch ads all the time to double my coins. Now I am forced to watch ads and I don’t even get rewarded for being forced to watch them. Put it back to only promoting ads when I press the double coin button.
  11. [R7] Cooking Craze 1/5 · US Can’t complete without buying something: I used to LOVE this game. We’re talking like 300levels in. But at a certain point it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to beat without spending extra money on the things you need like to upgrade or play with an advantage like the instant chef. It’s literally ridiculous and makes it not fun anymore. And I can tell it’s rigged so that you lose. I had 40 plates served out of
  12. [R10] Cooking Craze 1/5 · US No chance of beating if not paying: This game is a scam. Not possible to beat higher levels. Glitches. And when I went to customer service, they told me I had to pay to beat it. Don’t waste your time
  13. [R20] Cooking Craze 3/5 · US Major Problem: I will say that I love this game. It is so addicting but I have a Big problem with the app recently. When I choose to buy some spoons for 9.99 on 3 different occasions the APP has duplicated my purchase therefore charging me a total of $21.62 instead of $10.81. The person who I contacted at Apple said that this would be an issue with the APP and she is going to try to get me refunds
  14. [R31] Cooking Craze 2/5 · US Buyer beware: Sometimes in the game you’re offered to buy 650 spoons that also comes with 30 min of unlimited lives (one of the main reasons I often buy the package). The first time I did it and didn’t get my lives I contacted support. Their response was mainly “well sorry, that’s the way it is. Stuff happens”. Next time I did it I was in a event so thought maybe the unlimited lives don’t go throu
  15. [R32] Cooking Craze 2/5 · US App support does not fix issues: I begin having problem with Cooking Craze about three weeks ago for some reason. I wasn’t getting daily bonuses, videos or spoon. I contacted support, they told me to delete the app and reinstall it. I did still the same issue. I contacted them three or four times with no avail. I just deleted the app permanently. Such a fun game, such a shame.
  16. [R13] Cooking Craze 2/5 · US Unfair: I am completely and utterly annoyed at the difficulty level rising in each city, making it impossible to beat levels with purchasing spoons. This algorithm is unfair to those who are consistent users of this app. I love this game but i am sick of having to purchase spoons just to win every level!!!!
  17. [R14] Cooking Craze 4/5 · US Pay to play: Pay to play fun at start and then bad every thing upgrade and moving fast to still lose don’t give u enough spoons where u got to buy them can’t get past one level bc u have to buy spoons that’s bullshii
