  7. [R30] The Cook 4/5 · GB Very fun game 🎉, with room for improvement: Very fun and easy to play, with cute upgrades and extras. Great way to pass the time. However, I was a little bit disappointed at the lack of meal options and ingredients. I think that the addition of curry, pasta, pizza, stir fry and other international dishes would make the game more fun to play. It’s gets gets a bit repetitive after a while. I hope yo

  10. [R84] Sushi Roll 3D 2/5 · US it sucks: first of all it gives you a ton of ads and it can freeze up a lot of the time
  11. [R13] The Cook 1/5 · GB Rip off: Taken my money and adverts are still on I’m furious this is a scam
  12. [R15] The Cook 3/5 · GB ‘An honest review’: You should make an option for where you can get rid of ads for a least £2.99 or £1.99 so the cooking experience feels more relaxing
  13. [R18] The Cook 1/5 · GB It’s not worth it: It is 20000£ also after you paid, you, wasted your money all it is to do is to give baby, it’s not what you think It is it’s just want you to get it so it can I have money listen, it’s not worth

  15. [R16] The Cook 1/5 · GB Not happy with terms and conditions.: To much selling and sharing user data and info we have to agree on to use this app.
  16. [R29] The Cook 5/5 · GB The cook: I like the way that they give reviews back to me and the way I get to cook and achieve A
  17. [R60] Sushi Roll 3D 1/5 · US READ THIS REVIEW: Okay, so I liked it at first, but it just kept on going with the ADS, so I payed for the no ads pack. But the ads still came unexpectedly, but I still kept playing. It got SO BORING!! And there was a part where Trump came to visit, and I remember I was playing the game to GET AWAY from politics, so yeah, don’t EVER download this game, it’s basically a scam.
  18. [R78] Sushi Roll 3D 1/5 · US Paid content not worth buying: I already bought the $4.99 gift pack, but ads are still present, and there are still forced ads! If I don't want to watch them, I can only exit the game. · translated
  19. [R37] The Cook 4/5 · GB Great game but one problem: Fantastic game but the fact that there is way too much adverts after every minute ruins the fun.I do think this is a great game besides the point that there is ads ruining it.Ill give this a 4 star review just taking 1 away for the adverts spoiling the fun but I’m honestly impressed by this game and I think it’s just really wow,I can’t even explain how good it is. Thank
  20. [R51] Sushi Roll 3D 2/5 · US Too many ads: The game is good and I like the game play but I seriously hate the amount of ads. If you want to unlock something it’s an ad which is normal but if you decline the new offer they still make you watch an it during or after every meal/plating. Sometimes you’ll get a vip and you have to watch an ad to continue, there’s no skipping the ads unless you pay and I’m not down for that.
  21. [R57] Sushi Roll 3D 1/5 · US Too many ads: The ads consume the game making it impossible to play. I would say this game isn’t with the trouble
  22. [R43] The Cook 4/5 · GB Really great but needs a bigger variety of foods.: I love this game but I really wish it had a bigger variety of foods to cook like pasta, pizza or sushi. Maybe different locations could have different foods. This game is so great overall but I need more foods!
