  5. [R1] Hair Challenge 1/5 · US It sucks: The controls suck. The physics are so weird and are VERY hard to use. This might as well be a rage bait game. If you download it please be aware of this but I recommend to not download this app.

  11. [R15] Hair Challenge 3/5 · US Fun game but…: This game is super fun but it does waste a lot of battery and has loads of addds.
  12. [R22] Hair Challenge 2/5 · US Game: It was okay, my daughter is playing it, but I have to pay so much just for this, and you don't even do much. You have to pay extra for longer hair, and all you even do is get long hair! And see how long it gets for a high score. Like, what? It's not a game I recommend at all! Unless you have enough money for everything your kid is going to want you to pay extra for, it doesn't make any sense. · translated

  14. [R67] Acrylic Nails! 4/5 · US So many ADS!!!!: This game is fun, easy, and relaxing. The only issue is the amount of ads in this game!! It’s insane! After almost every step you have to watch an ad, if you want to do anything really. The sheer amount of ads in this game takes away on the fun of it.
