  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. [R61] Life Sim 3D 1/5 · US Disappointed: I’ve had this game for about four or five months now I think about deleting it every day. The only thing that stops me is that I’ve actually paid money to get certain career opportunities and more rent. There’s entirely too many ads and I’ve now been waiting on the next house for at least the last month and a half. The creator does not update the game enough. I spent more time waiti
  4. [R63] Life Sim 3D 3/5 · US fine: looks nothing like on pics, game is nice, but there are practically no options for furniture, clothes, appearance etc, ads every 30 seconds, and what’s up with this new update, nothing new was added… the last house is small and I can’t customise it, everything I change gets back every time I open the game again, I wish somebody care about this game it has a potential, also why characters get
  5. [R66] Life Sim 3D 3/5 · US Crashing always: I really like this game but every time I open it I get like 1 minute of game play then it crashes. I have to restart my whole phone then I get 20 minutes of game play before it starts to crash and freeze again and then I need to restart the phone again. I even updated it and it still happens :(
  6. [R96] Life Sim 3D 3/5 · US fun but crashes: so fun to play i just hate that it crashes so frequently
  7. [R112] Life Sim 3D 1/5 · US Game keeps crashing: I’m only able to play for less than 5 minutes before the game crashes on me and I have to restart the game.. sucks
  8. [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
  9. [R118] Life Sim 3D 1/5 · US Freezes and crashes: Pretty buggy for a 4 star game.
  10. [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.
  11. [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
  12. [R67] Life Sim 3D 1/5 · US Too many ads: It gets to a point where it forces you to watch an ad every few minutes. Deleted it
  13. [R72] Life Sim 3D 3/5 · US Ads: I’d love to give this game an overall 5 BUT the “ AD break” is unnecessary when I have to watch ads to do pretty much anything on there. Not only that, it pops up every 5 mins and it takes the fun away from the game.
  14. [R7] Family Life! 1/5 · US abandoned?: i paid yall a LOT of money for this game just for yall to abandon it a year later. i don’t appreciate it and i feel taken advantage of.
  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. [R120] Life Sim 3D 3/5 · GB Limited game play: Unfortunately the game hasn’t had any updates so can’t move forward in the game, so you can only get to a certain point and then you can’t do anything
  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.
