  1. [R8] Lunch Box Ready 5/5 · GB Best game ever so easy: Best game ever so so good
  2. [R15] Lunch Box Ready 3/5 · GB Good but ended up deleting: So when I first got this game I was enjoying it so much! That was until I got stuck on a level, I can’t remember what but the lunchbox had 4 stacks and quite a lot of food. I had been stuck in it for months and I would go on it every now and then to try complete it however it just wouldn’t work nk matter how much I tried. I ended up deleting because of this.
  3. [R17] Lunch Box Ready 5/5 · GB Amazing: I love lunch box it’s really cool 👍🏽 I like doing the food where u put it in It’s really fun 😀😃😄😁👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
  4. [R19] Lunch Box Ready 1/5 · GB The worst game: This game is a scam it showed in the ad stationary at in the game when l downloaded it it was food instead of stationary
  5. [R4] Lunch Box Ready 1/5 · GB This is horrible horrible !!!!: This app is horrible for starters it takes forever and I mean forever to load and second once you are in the game it doesn’t look anything like in the adds like I just wanted to pack lunch boxes and then there are I swear an add for every time I touch the screen this is a horrible game I don’t recommend it did not meet my expectations whatsoever 😡
  6. [R14] Lunch Box Ready 4/5 · GB ..: This game is highly addicting and fun 🤩 but the thing that I’m rating abt is that I’ve gone on it today and the game has got nobody and just a room with 2 doors and nothing else.no buttons on screen or anything . I think I broke the game and I need bugs to be refixed because you know what. On day 39 the problem happened
  7. [R35] Lunch Box Ready 1/5 · GB Angry talk: So idk how to complete it i press the tick put it keeps changing to an arrow 😡😡😡😡
  8. [R3] Lunch Box Ready 3/5 · GB It’s good but…: I love this game and play it frequently but there is one small problem. The amount of adds that pop up is over the top and I don’t think it’s worth getting without buying the no adds which cost money. I really do wish that there where no adds because I love the game and would play it all the time
  9. [R6] Lunch Box Ready 3/5 · GB TOO MANY ADS: This app is very good for young kids but it has very many adds thanks for reading this and PLEASE GET RID OF HOW MANY ADS THERE ARE!!
  10. [R7] Lunch Box Ready 1/5 · GB Cat: There are way too many adds
  11. [R10] Lunch Box Ready 1/5 · GB ADS!!!!: Ads every 2 seconds 2 ads in first level Deleted!!!
  12. [R31] Lunch Box Ready 2/5 · GB Lunch box ready!: This game is good and does make me very hungry, but I think we all know where this is going. I’ve never played a game with so much ads in my life. I know you need ads to make money on these free games that’s understandable but I get one after EVERY SINGLE LUNCHBOX! Do not download if you are easily irritated from constant ads.
  13. [R74] Decor Life 3/5 · US Too many ads!: I love this game, but i was playing this when i was on a long car ride. I had no internet, and every 10-20 seconds there was an ad. Since i had no internet the ads would not load, so very time there was an ad I had to close the game out. Which restarted my level. Once again I would love this game if it had way less ads!
  14. [R85] Decor Life 4/5 · US It’s fun and calming but…: I really like the game is very calming and you don’t need internet to play it!! And it’s awesome for long car rides! The only reason why it doesn’t have 5 stars is because of the adds… There’s to many!!! It’s starting to make me annoyed and not want to play it anymore! But the game is still fun!! Hope you read this!!
  15. [R37] Lunch Box Ready 1/5 · GB I don’t like this game: You can NOT get passed level two at all and you can’t even write your nickname down 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
