  1. [R3] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 3/5 · US Great start: I really really love this game I play 3 somewhat similar. I have lost interest lately For one some of the side games have a glitch. It’s asking for whip cream on desserts yet there isn’t any. So it’s impossible to play. Also it’s impossible to play some levels without xtra help and spending more a more $. But like I said it was fun at first .
  2. [R5] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 5/5 · US Fun Serving Customers Food Items - Promptly: I have played many Merge games, but this one is different - and more fun. Carefully noticing if customers’ order include a beer, lettuce and/or sauce on meat. Also Deciding when/if I need to upgrade for more stove eyes, salad, etc. as the customers/ crowd increases. stressfully-FUN. Through Level 6, no ads!!!! I don’t know if ads will come later.
  3. [R7] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Expensive game: Yes, it’s technically free, if you ever want to pass a level or palsy for a side event, have to pay. I’m so frustrated that I bought the weekly pass, but since there wasn’t a new “restaurant” ready yet, the only to earn points for the pass is in side 3 restaurants, which for some is ridiculously difficult! I have played this game long time and it’s never been out of new restaurants
  4. [R11] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 5/5 · US Exactly what the name is: It makes me cook like mad I am madly inlove with this game
  5. [R2] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 4/5 · US Expensive: The game is good, but why do prices increase so much when the money earned per level does not? · translated
  6. [R4] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Ads, Ads, and More Ads!!!!: I have been playing cooking madness for years. I played so frequently that I PAID to remove ads from the game so I could keep playing as much as I wanted. Now when I log on, I see that in order to redeem the Weekly Pass rewards or other challenge rewards, I have to watch ADS??? For something I accomplished?????? So what was the point of me paying for no ads if now I hav
  7. [R6] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 3/5 · US Fun… at first.: This was fun at first, until the ads hit. Then you can only do one level at a time before you are hit with ads. Not just 1 but 2. Once 1 ad is over the next one starts. LONG ads too. Not 15-30 but 60-90 seconds each one. It killed it for me. Too many options of games out there to stick with a full on ad game.
  8. [R1] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Take too long to download like 1 hour: Take too long to download
  9. [R49] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 2/5 · US Does not giving accurate coin bonus: It says When you pass levels there is an option to watch adds so you can get 125%-200%-300% and so on at random, and I ve been dıing this for a while to get more coins and it used to be accurate like at least exact amount I won or more. Recently whenever I watch adds to double my coin earnings it gives me only %50 of what I earned or even LESS, if you going to
  10. [R13] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Too many ads: The game is great, but the sheer volume of ads you are forced to watch on this game is not worth the trouble. Nobody should be having to pay to not have to see ads after EVERY level and then some. Do better.
  11. [R15] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 3/5 · US Love it, too many pop ups: I love this game but I paid for the no-ad version which was great but now in order to get the rewards I earned I have to watch an add and then there’s way too many inside games and pop ups.
  12. [R12] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 3/5 · US PLEASE READ: I like this game a lot but it’s chaotic and wants you to spend money. Otherwise great game
  13. [R19] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Scam: Fun until the game introduces levels that are impossible to beat without paying for extras. Scam.
  14. [R21] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 3/5 · US Typical App Store money pit: Game is fun but becomes impossible to beat unless you spend more money and the appeals for money are never ending(“Buy these diamonds! Buy this booster pack! “ Special offers constantly.) I’d pay a flat fee for this, paying for boosters constantly for rigged games? No.
  15. [R16] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Ads added to weekly pass: The recent update that forces you to watch an ad for every reward you’d like to claim for the weekly free pass is hilariously greedy.
  16. [R58] Cooking Madness-Kitchen Frenzy 1/5 · US Shameless money grab: Gameplay loop started out fun but with a ton of ads. So I paid for the no forced ads option. But every item , buff, perk in the game- even the daily pass rewards, require you to watch ads. Not forced, but you need to to get anything. They also give you like 20 gems per day. If you miss a level by a few seconds it’s 70 gems to continue. Both sides of the screen are loade
