1. [R2] Family Life! 5/5 · US Love it!: I think it’s really good cause it expresses you before you can become a mom or a dad and I think it’s really realistic and I think it’s really fun and you do get to create your own family tree so you can see long and long and long long or long so I think it’s a really good game really recommended love it
2. [R5] Family Life! 4/5 · US Good but needs fixing: I’ve played this game a lot and it’s honestly really fun. However I noticed they change how it works with twins or triplets. You can no longer choose majors or anything for them specifically. They all have to do the same major, same club, and it really messes with the gameplay. Also there is this game stopping bug where some of your kids stop actually doing anything? They do
3. [R63] BitLife 3/5 · US This game is amazing, but gets so boring, so fast.: I love bitlife, I’ve loved it for years. But, at some time it just go so much more boring. The story telling is boring, relationships with family is boring, all the “new stuff,” boring. I wish there was more character customization, family dynamics, school systems, crime systems, months instead of years, interactions with other people. Its just g
4. [R66] BitLife 3/5 · US Fun but can be disappointing and costly: I’ve played this game since the very beginning. I adore it and I’ve always been super dedicated. Unfortunately over the last few years the game has become costly to enjoy. DO NOT waste your money on the pass. I paid for it and have yet to be able to use it. I have to click restore purchase every time I get back on the game. And I can even use most of the co
5. [R21] Family Life! 3/5 · US It doesn’t not open: I like this game from time to time but recently it doesn’t open or start the game for me so sad
6. [R49] Family Life! 2/5 · US Feels Like BitLife but Broken: I was really excited to download this game, but unfortunately it doesn’t work as I expected. Every time I try to open the game it just gives me a blank screen and then my entire phone glitches out. I have only had this phone for about 8 months, and it works great otherwise, so I don’t think it should be glitching out like that so it feels like more of a problem with
7. [R90] BitLife 3/5 · US Idk: Super fun game but waaay too many adds so after a while it gets boring.
8. [R58] Family Life! 1/5 · US Endless launching: Since last update it won't even start
9. [R72] BitLife 3/5 · US It’s good but…: The game is good and fun to play, like everyone else said, can be repetitive, lot of stuff is only accessible by paying for it. And I took two stars off because genuinely WAY TOO MANY ADS. If they could reduce the ads then the game would be so much more enjoyable. Mind you I still think it’s fun now. Please devs less ads.
10. [R120] BitLife 3/5 · GB Good but voice over accessibility is broken: I’ve been playing this for a while, i spent a lot on expansions, but a month or 2 ago, an update broke accessibility. Voice over gets stuck on an overlay and nothing gets me passed it. Dog life still works though. Please fix it?
11. [R3] Family Life! 3/5 · US This game is amazing: I am addicted to this game. But the ads are over the top, I would pay for them to be gone. But $30 is WAYYYY too much. If it was $5 that is way more reasonable or even just a tad bit higher. I would rate more of a 3.5/5. I play this everyday. I just dislike the constant ads and I will not pay $30 to remove them.
12. [R20] Family Life! 4/5 · US $30 for ad free is nuts: Id give this game 5 stars, but the fact that they’re charging $30 to go without ads insane. It’s a fun game though
13. [R67] BitLife 1/5 · US The greed is disgusting: I used to have BitLife a couple years ago on my old phone, and I bought the job pack and bitzen for like 10 dollars and enjoyed the game because it was fun. Now you have to pay 5 dollars for EACH job??? Or a pack for $55. Mind you, they didn’t update it or add content, they just up charged it for no reason. This game is just a greedy scam that overcharges for everything. D
14. [R118] BitLife 1/5 · US Greedy: You can’t even play this game for free. Ads everywhere; EVERYTHING is behind a paywall. They even force you to follow them on social media just so you can make a post in the game (after watching an ad of course) I’ve played BitLife since 2019. This is pure corporal greed. Shame on you BitLife.
15. [R42] Family Life! 3/5 · US Game with potential but with no leads: The game itself is a great concept. I don’t mind spending for more content, but I’m only hesitant to because it seems like the devs are juggling too many other titles along with those updates, that it seems they are putting this one in the back burner. I mean, just look at the list of “updates” for this game, which are all bug fixes only. There haven’t been a
16. [R115] BitLife 1/5 · US A greater fall than Goliath.: A battle pass? After locking 90% of the game behind dlc you offer the “bitizen upgrade” to let you get future job updates for free. So you guys stop making job updates and make “life style packs”, now you are trying to push a battlepass in a single player text based game? Oh and of course you can get it cheaper through their website so apple doesn’t get their grubby l
17. [R34] Family Life! 1/5 · US $30-DONT DOWNLOAD: $30.00 to remove ads or ads will appear every 2-3 minutes of game play. Or the only way to successfully get ahead is if you watch ads. So all you are doing is watching ads. So I guess if you like watching ads, this would be just perfect.
